SWNOVELS Chapter 80 Poor Thing
The rain was pouring outside.
And the whole scene was blurry.
Rosa held Cecil who was burning hot in her arms and kept wiping the damp towel over him.
Tears kept falling down her face.
"Cecil, don't scare me... Wake up, wake up..."
Her cry was loud, yet it was still softer than the rain.
She repeated this action over and over again.
And she kept glancing towards the door.
"Why isn't he coming?" She thought.
She was afraid and was also worried.
She was at a loss.
On the other side...
"Mr Lewis, we have already contacted the hospital. Please drive safely!" Denny immediately told him on the phone.
"Alright!" The man replied faintly, but the car speed kept rising.
The wipers were moving at incredible speed and yet the road ahead was still blurry.
It was probably the heaviest rain in autumn this year.
Time ticked by slowly.
Rosa could no longer wait.
She gritted her teeth and slowly propped up her body.
Then, she took a deep breath and grabbed Cecil's shoulder with both hands, then dragged him with all her might...
She was praying for the elevator to be fixed.
In this way, she could smoothly take him downstairs.
As long as she got downstairs, she could take a taxi.
But...
It was a great plan.
But in reality, it was not as easy as it sounded.
After all, Cecil was a sixteen-year-old boy.
Even though he was weak, he still had the height and weight of a teen.
Moreover, her ankle was sprained. It would be even more difficult to drag him out.
She bit her lip tightly, and her face turned pale from the pain.
Sweat dripped down her forehead as she dragged him with all her strength.
But even though her hands were trembling, she still held them tightly and refused to give up.
"Cecil... Cecil..."
She muttered his name repeatedly with tears in her eyes as she kept dragging him.
However, right after she reached the living room...
She seemed to have drained of all her strength.
With a "thud", she instantly knelt on the ground.
"Sss..." She took a deep breath in pain and then looked at Cecil. "Cecil... how are you?"
However, the person on the ground did not respond at all.
"Don't, don't do this to me..." Rosa knelt beside him, holding him as she cried loudly, "Don't leave me, don't leave me... Please, don't do this..."
At this moment, she hated herself to death.
If only she remembered to call him today.
Then, maybe all this wouldn't have happened.
"Cecil... Cecil..." Rosa shouted a few times, but there was still no response.
She propped herself up and limped to the door next to her.
She began to knock.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Please save my brother, save my brother..."
The corridor was silent. Only the sound of her slapping the door could be heard. There was no other sound.
"Please open the door... save my brother... save my brother..."
The girl kept yelling and shouting as if she'd gone mad. Her voice was shrill as a ghost, and her hands were slamming wildly on her neighbour's door. "Thump, thump, thump!" Suddenly, sounds of footsteps came from the stairs.
Rosa was stunned and quickly looked over.
The next second, Henry's figure appeared in front of her.
The man's handsome face was a little messy, and his white shirt was soaked. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
For a moment, Rosa felt tears welling up.
Her vision started to get blurry as tears filled her eyes.
"Don't be afraid!" Henry said as he quickly entered the room.
Tears silently streamed down her face.
A moment later, she saw the man carry Cecil out.
"Don't move. I'll bring Cecil to the car and come to pick you up immediately!" He saw that her ankle was very swollen.
Rosa had yet to reply.
The man already went downstairs with Cecil on his back.
A few minutes later.
When the man came up, he was completely drenched, not knowing if it was from the rain or his sweat.
He closed the door.
And leaned over to pick her up.
He pursed his thin lips into a straight line and called in a low voice, "Rosa, don't be afraid. I've already contacted the hospital. Cecil will be treated immediately!" Rosa did not speak. She looked at this familiar stranger.
She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She didn't know why, but she could no longer hold back her emotions.
She started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Why are you so late? I was so scared... so scared..."
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw this little poor thing...
Looking as if she had been greatly devastated.
He was about to explain, but he couldn't say anything.
Just now, he was too anxious and the road was too slippery.
He drove into a barrier.
That was why he was delayed.
"Okay, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you well! Stop crying, alright?"
Rosa sobbed in his arms, and her eyes were swollen red.
Outside the emergency room...
Rosa was huddled into a ball on the chair.

She hugged herself tightly and didn't move.
If it weren't for the tears that kept falling from her face.
He really thought she was asleep.
After Henry had settled the matter, he came over and saw her like this.
Instantly, he frowned and stepped forward to pick her up.
"Uh..." Rosa was shocked and shivered.
Henry carried her and walked towards a ward.
"I don't want to go. I want to see my brother!" She clutched his clothes tightly with watery eyes.
The man frowned slightly and said, "He's inside. He can't come out for a while. You're injured. You should get treated!" "No, I'm fine. I'm really fine!" Rosa said hurriedly.
The man frowned unhappily.
Tears rolled down Rosa's cheeks as she said, "I don't want to go... I want to stay with him... I'm afraid... I'm so scared..."
Her body couldn't stop trembling.
She was afraid that her brother would end up like her parents.
Right after they reached the hospital, and then...
They left her forever!
Henry hesitated for a moment, and then he tightened his arms.
He strode even faster.
"Don't worry, your brother won't lose his life so easily!"
"But..."
"I've already hired the best doctor in this hospital. Or do you want your brother to wake up and see you in such a mess?"
Rosa immediately shrank.
In the treatment room...
Rosa's injured leg was bandaged in an instant.
"Mr. Lewis!" Denny ran over hurriedly.
"Are you okay? How did the car end up like that?" Denny asked, looking him up and down.
Rosa was stunned and looked at Henry.
The man stared at her feet and replied faintly, "I'm alright!"
Rosa's heart tightened. Her face stiffened and her lips trembled slightly. "Just now... something happened... to your car?"
"It's nothing serious. You, on the other hand, you should be more careful about your leg!" The man sounded a little unhappy.
"Is she that bad at taking care of herself?" He wondered.
Rosa bit her lip and kept quiet.
For a moment, there were a lot of mixed feelings in her heart.
The female doctor smiled slightly as she said, "Mr. Lewis, Miss Lopez is done now."
After responding with a "yes", he carried her outside of the emergency room.
He knew that she was in a hurry.
If she didn't stay here, she wouldn't compromise.
Denny silently stood by the side as sweat kept dripping down his face.
Miss Baker kept calling him, asking where Mr. Lewis had gone.
He... really didn't know how to reply!
More than two hours later...
The doctor finally came out.
They didn't look well.
"Mr. Lewis, this young man had a heart disease since young. These days, he had been staying up late and did not take his medicine on time. That's why he had an attack suddenly!" The doctor said hurriedly.
"He didn't take his medicine on time? How could it be? I've been watching him take his medicine!" Rosa said anxiously and was about to stand up.
"Sit down!" The man's tone suddenly became a little unpleasant.
Rosa immediately gave in, shrank back, and sat down.
"He didn't take his medicine properly?" She wondered.
That's right, she only saw him taking medicine during morning and night. She couldn't check on him during the afternoon...
"He did mention before that the medicine was too expensive..."
"Could it be that he wanted to save money?" She thought.
Rosa immediately started blaming herself and didn't know how to react.
She only felt a great pain in her heart!
"Mr. Lewis, it would be best for this young man to stay at the hospital to be treated. This way, we can also observe his condition more thoroughly, and... we found that there may be some other symptoms in his body... We need to check him thoroughly before we can confirm it!" The doctor suggested.
"Well, then he'll stay at the hospital and get his treatment!"
"Alright, Mr. Lewis!" The doctor said, immediately thought of something and continued, "You should return for tonight. His breathing is stable, but we'll need to observe him tonight. There are professional doctors and nurses here who will take good care of him. Besides, no one would be able to enter the emergency room. I suggest you come early tomorrow morning!"
Henry nodded.
Denny said before leaving, "Mr. Lewis, I will get the procedures done now."
Rosa looked up at him timidly and said, "Um... Thank you, uncle... I'll pay you the hospital fee and the car repair fee tomorrow!"
She still had 500,000 dollars left which she never dared to use.
This time, it should be enough for the hospital fee and car repair fee!
Denny was not here. If he were here, he would definitely laugh his heart out.
500,000 dollars to repair his car?
You'll need another zero for that!
"Why are you acting so distant? I remember you calling me a bad guy two days ago!" He leaned over to her, trying to cheer her up.
Rosa blushed and bit her lips embarrassedly. She clenched her fists nervously.
Why did she suddenly feel a little flustered when he approached her?
Was it because he came to save her brother?
Seeing that she was distracted again, he bent down and picked her up.
Before Rosa could figure out why, she was suddenly picked up and was startled.
She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.
"What are you doing?"
"Going home!" The man's smile grew wider.
He was very satisfied that she wrapped her arms around his neck.☐☐☐☐☐
