With You For the Rest of My Life

"Grandma, I..." At the other side of the phone, grandma seemed to have read Rose mind when she was hesitating whether to
refuse her in a polite way. She said, "It's settled then. Remember to have dinner at home. I'll wait for you." Then she hung up the
phone directly, leaving no chance for Rose to refuse.
"Grandma, wait a minute. Hello? Hello? " Rose shouted anxiously at the phone, but her response was a long "beep".
She sighed and switched off the power. Then she cast a glance at Tina who was sitting next to her and watching TV, and
whispered, "I have to go back to Gu Family tonight, so I can't accompany you. Sophie will stay with you and look after you. Call
me if you need help. Take care and have a good rest. "
Tina laughed and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I know. You should go back now. It's not a good idea to stay here
all the time. I can take care of myself." Then she put his hands on Roes's back to push her out.
It was a great relief for Rose to see that Tina had fully recovered. She walked slowly to the table and packed up her stuff. Then
she grabbed her purse from the sofa and left the ward after speaking a few words with Sophia.
The smile on Tina's face faded as she watched Rose's back disappear. She turned off the TV and lay on the bed quietly.
She was really exhausted. How could the trauma from the heart be easily healed? The reason why she forced herself to smile
was just to make Rose feel relieved. She didn't want to trouble those who cared about her because of her.
She grabbed her white clothes and covered her head simply, falling asleep soon.
Outside the gate of the hospital, a gust of piercing cold wind blew, sending a shiver down her spine. Rose wrapped herself tightly
in her coat silently and walked quickly to the side of the road. When she was about to stop a taxi, a white car slowly stopped in
front of her with the headlights flickering not far away.
It was a white car that Rose was familiar with. Sure enough, the window was slowly rolled down, revealing Xavier's delicate baby
face. He grinned and waved at Rose, revealing two lovely canine teeth.
"Xavier? !" Rose said excitedly.
"Rose! Where are you going? Can I drive you?" Xavier smiled.
Rose shook her hands, refusing. "Go ahead with your own business. I'll take a taxi."

As they were talking, a cold wind blew, and Xavier sitting in the car could not help but sneeze. He urged, "Rose, don't be so
polite to me. I have nothing to do now. Come on, we both will catch a cold if you still go on talking."
Hearing his words, Rose didn't refuse anymore. As Xavier was indeed a member of the family, there was no need to be too polite
to him. So she slowly walked forward, opened the door and sat in the car.
The central heating in the car worked very well. As soon as Rose sat in the car, she felt a warm current flowing through her
veins, which were tight with cold.
"Where are you going, Rose?" Asked Xavier.
"Gu's house. Grandma asked me to have dinner with her. I guess you haven't had dinner either. Why don't you have dinner with
me before you leave? " Said Rose gently.
Xavier was quite familiar with people in Gu Family. Both grandma and Sue had seen him grow up. They loved him as their own
grandson and grandson, so he was not repulsed to go to the Gu Family to have dinner.
"Okay. Maybe grandma has prepared something nice for you to eat. Thanks to you, I can still bum meals off." Xavier made fun of
him and immediately agreed.
He saw Rose sitting on the co-pilot seat, slowly rolling down the window, opening tab, taking out a U-disk from it and inserted it
into the car voice. He clicked the screen for a while, and a melodious piano music immediately reverberated in the car. Xavier
seemed to be in a good mood. His head swayed slightly with the melody of the music. One hand hung up the gear, stepped on
the accelerator, and slowly made a turn on the steering wheel. Then he drove the car away.
"It's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata." Listening to the melody, Rose leaned her head against the chair and immersed herself in
the melodious music, eyes closed.
Hearing this, Xavier turned to look at Rose. She closed her eyes leisurely, and her long and curly eyelashes covered with a faint
shadow under her eyes.
"You like piano music, too? He asked.
"Yes, I learned to play piano when I was a child." Rose replied plainly. If it weren't for the melody, she wouldn't have such a
complicated relationship with Burke.

Looking straight at the road ahead, Xavier said slowly, "Burke also likes piano music, especially Hebe by the side of 'the water'.
When he is in bad mood, he always likes to listen to it alone in his room."
However, what Xavier said was like a sharp sword that directly pointed to Rose's heart. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and
slowly opened her eyes. She turned around and looked at Xavier who was driving intently.
Twelve years ago, she was playing this piece of 'Lina by the Riverside' in the courtyard of the old butler of Qinshan Town. At that
time, she was preparing for a piano competition, intending to use this piece to compete. Thus she often played it again and
again.
'Did Burke still remember what happened to them in the countryside twelve years ago? No, it couldn't be. Maybe it was just a
coincidence.'
Rose gave a quick snub of her ridiculous idea immediately.
Xavier seemed to have noticed the abnormality of Leona. He asked with concern, "What's wrong, Rose?"
"I'm fine..." Rose shook her head gently and looked out of the window at the street view, lost in thought.
Noticing that she was extremely depressed, Xavier didn't ask any more questions. He raised the volume of the car music to the
maximum, so that the melodious music filled his ears.
The car slowly stopped at the intersection, waiting for the green traffic signal to light up. All of a sudden, Xavier's sight
inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror by the car. A black car stopped closely behind them and had followed them for a
long time. Xavier was suspicious and couldn't help frowning. He had a plan.
The traffic signal light flickered for a few times, and then the green light was lit up. A slight twitch of the corner of his mouth, he
stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed forward at full speed. Sitting on the driver's seat, Rose was hit by the inertia, and
her body tilted heavily.
"Sit tight." Ordered Xavier.
Rose did not know what was the abnormal behavior of Xavier, but she knew that he was not an impetuous person and he must
have a reason for it. Thus, she obediently gripped the handlebar of the top of the car.
