Chapter 445 I Am a Child Without Mommy and Daddy's Love
Nora briefed Rose on what had happened to her. Rose was shocked at the news too. Thank god there was no harm done!
"Who saved you then?" Rose was rather persistent.
While holding a cup of coffee, Nora was rather cornered by embarrassments. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Rose. The thing was, she found it rather difficult to speak all that she had went through.
She had to conceal some details because she was afraid that Rose might lecture her. She didn't want cause another trouble.
"Mr. Moore was there. He was the man who saved me." Nora and Oca had both agreed that the truth shall be kept between themselves.
Even though Rose was her bestie, Nora still chose to exclude her out in this secret.
"What a coincidence! That man seems to be everywhere!" Rose wondered why Mr. Moore was always around, "Had he got any inappropriate idea for you?"
"No, not at all. He just dropped me off at the hospital. That's all! I waited when the effects wore off, and then I stayed in the hospital for the night." To cover her little scheme, Nora began to sip her coffee, hoping that her nervousness would not be discovered.
"Well. The important thing is, nothing happened between you and him." Rose was relieved to hear Nora's account, "Honey, I must remind you, Mr. Moore is not Oscar! I don't care how similar they both look. Don't be foolish on him! You shouldn't see him again, now that you have decided to live with Allan. You must hide from him. It's the best that you and he never meet again. Because only then, you will not be seduced by him to do foolish things again!"
As she recalled, last time when she saw Oca, Nora even kissed him.
If Allan was there, no one would hear the end of it.
No man, who does not like to be cheated, shall not be crossed after seeing his wife having intimate activities with other man.
"I know!" Nora was burdened with heavy thoughts, "Rose, you are the only one I can trust with the secret. I didn't come back last night. Shall Allan ask about it, please say that I had went to your house!"
Fortunately, Allan was not home yesterday. He went on a business trip with his father to Europe, which seemed to have been for some activity with great importance. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
If not, he would be anxious to find Nora staying outside all night.
As a matter a fact, she had thought about not seeing Oca again. But Oca was Hazel's boyfriend now. Many opportunities would be there for him to dine with them in the Way's. It wouldn't be an easy job to successfully avoid him.
She didn't have the guts to face Oca at the present. Guilt had filled her conscience. How she ought to face Hazel now?
"This is an accident. It will never happen again! I promise." Nora slowly stirred the coffee, "I should have gone with you. That would spare me of the rest!"
Now it was Rose's turn to feel guilty. She thought that she should have never left Nora there alone.
"This was not your fault! You shouldn't blame yourself." Nora gently shook her hands, "No one would think that Nathan was in City H. And even some of our classmates had connections with him. I must find out who is the brat behind this! Or I will not let it go."
If she couldn't find the man behind this, she might get into the same trouble next time.
"I will ask Bright to assist you." Rose recommended, "He should be able to find out."
"Actually, I don't want more people to know." Nora expressed her concerns.
"Don't worry. I will ask him to sign a confidentiality agreement. Besides, he was never a talkative type!" Rose tried to dissipate Nora's doubts.
Nora nodded, since she was also curious as what the result might prove to be.
"You look ill. I suggest you take a good rest back home and leave the matter to me." Rose finished the last sip of her coffee and said, "I will telephone you as soon as I heard any news.
Nora went straight home after they departed at the café.
Meanwhile, Rose returned to the hospital to look after her daughter Doris. Doris's condition was fine; therefore, she could go home today after she finished her drips.
Though Rose was not going to bother Bright, but he insisted on picking them up. She did some preparations and had the discharge formalities sorted out.
It was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Bright arrived at the hospital. He gave a big hug to Rose and said, "Sorry I am late, something came up."
"It's okay!" Rose fondled his face, "I was just worried that you might be too tired."
"I am fine." Releasing his grip on Rose, he went down to kiss his daughter's forehead, "hey, my girl, how are you feeling today?"
"Mommy and daddy kiss Doris. Doris feels pain no more!" Doris smiled at them with a curved eyebrow, "But daddy is unfair!"
"How so? No, I am not!" Bright felt rather confused.
"Yes, you are! You hugged mommy first. It means you love mommy more than you love Doris!" Doris drew the conclusion.
"My girl is jealous!" Bright gently nipped his daughter's face and said, "Of course daddy loves mom more! Because your mom came first, she will always be the boss in our family!"
"Mommy, who do you love more, daddy or me?" Doris turned to ask Rose.
Rose didn't know how to answer it. She glanced at her husband before quickly switching to gaze upon her daughter.
"Mommy loves both!" She chose a compromised answer, "You and your father are both important to me!"
"You said that you love me most before, when daddy wasn't around. Now daddy is here, you don't love Doris anymore! You and daddy both are unfair!" Doris sighed, "I am just a poor child without mommy and daddy's love. I can only fight to get Brother Dougie's love!"
"……"
Rose and Bright exchanged a few glances.
Bright hold Doris in his arms while Rose gathered their belongings. Then they both went home.
When they got home, the house maid had already served the dinner.
For Doris, the food was very health, even to an extent of discomfort in chewing.
After a busy day, a good rest seemed had been long overdue.
Rose was just sitting in front a mirror to get on some creams when Bright, in his grey silk pajama, walked out from the bathroom. With the string loosely tied, his strong and healthy chest was exposed.
"My work here would be done in about a week, then we can get back to City J." sitting on the edge of the bed, he told Rose.
Rose was still rubbing her hands, trying to get the creams even. She turned around and faced Bright, "Honey, I need you to do something for me."
He feezed while he was just about to dry his hair with the tower. Staring at her, he asked, "Judging from your look and your tone, you weren't doing anything disgraceful, yes?"
"Of course not!" Rose protested, "It concerns Nora."
"What's going on with her again?" Bright frowned unnoticed, "Nothing is ever good with that woman!"
"Excuse me! That woman, as you put it, is my best friend. I couldn't have you spoken ill of her!" Rose felt that Bright was biased against Nora.
