Chapter 48

Rose's POV.

I didn't know what to feel after I confirmed that it was indeed Daniel that saved me.

' for what reason could he have done it? '

I felt my heartbeat loudly.

I was very thankful to him words couldn't describe how grateful I am to him.

' How can I repay his favor? '

[ With another lunch date? , Of course not! ]

***

" What's Wrong with you Rose? "Stella's voice was suddenly heard in the room.

As soon as she moved closer, she found out that Rose was crying and immediately her voice softened as she embraced the latter.

" Why are you crying, Rose? "

" You were right, CEO Daniel was indeed the one who prevented me. "

" Really? "

" Yes. "

" Oh my God! He's a keeper! ,"

" Yes. "

" I think he loves you. "

" Hm. "

" Hm? "

" He just confessed to me earlier. "

" Really? What are you going to do now? "

" I am not sure maybe.... "

The sound of her Cell phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.

After seeing the caller instantly knows who it was.

[ Who is it? ]

" Hello, Mom. " Rose Greeted as soon as she picked up the call.

The word, Mom, felt a little foreign to her as it has been a long while since she called someone that.

" Hello, darling, how are you? " The woman from the other End said in a jovial and friendly tone.

" I am fine Mom, what about you and Dad? " Rose inquired.

" I am perfectly Alright but sadly your Dad isn't. "

" Why? , What happened to Dad, Mom? "

" Well, he suddenly Fainted this morning and after taking him to the Hospital and doing several tests, The doctor's diagnosed him with Colon Cancer. " The woman reply in a Crying voice, one could easily detect the pain in her voice.

" What!!! " Rose exclaimed as she suddenly felt dizzy, She would have fallen to the ground if not for Stella who Quickly held her and took her to the bed.

" Are you still there, darling? " The woman from the other end inquired after Hearing nothing from the other end.

Realizing that Rose isn't in the best state to continue the Phone call, Stella Took the phone from her hand and spoke up.

" Good day, Ma, I am Rose's Friend, am sorry but she isn't in the best shape to continue this phone call, I'll call you back later, Today, alright? "

" Alright, Please take care of her. "

" I will. "

" Thank you. "

" Hm. " Stella Replied as the call got disconnected.

" My dad is going to Die, no, no. " Rose started Whimpering as Tears started streaming down her beautiful face again.

" No, he's not going to die, he'll be treated by the best doctors in the country so he won't. " Stella Consoled as she embraced the latter.

" Are you sure? "

" Of course. " Stella Assured.

" Thank you. " Rose mumbled as she fell asleep.

Now that Stella was quite close to Rose, she could see the Huge Eye bags under Rose's eyes.

It seems like the latter hasn't had a good night's sleep ever since.

After Tucking Her in and covering her with the Blanket, Stella finally left the room.

" What happened to, Auntie, Mom?. " Little Lucia inquired from her mom.

" She's just exhausted so she went to sleep. "

" Alright, I hope she's alright though. " Little Lucia said.

" She is. "

" Okay. "

*****

Three hours later, Rose woke up to the feeling of someone Wiping her forehead with a Wet towel.

It was Little Lucia, She insisted on being the one to take care of Rose despite her mom's protest and as always she won.

[ I am liking, Little Lucia's character so far, how about you, guys?.]

" You are awake, Auntie. " Little Lucia said when she saw Rose's eyes Fluttering.

" Hm. " Rose replied as she tried to sit up but couldn't, she suddenly felt drained so she fell back on the bed.

" Don't try to seat up, for now, Rose, you should rest. "

" Why, what happened? " Rose inquired in a hoarse voice.

" You are running a fever but luckily your body temperature isn't that high so you should be fine soon if you rest more. "

" Alright. "

" Here, I made some light Porridge. " Stella said as she brought the porridge closer attempting to feed it to Rose but little Lucia stopped her.

" Why don't you let me feed her, mom? "

" But, you... "

" Please, mom. " Little Lucia pleaded with a baby-like voice.

" Alright, but be careful, I'll go make dinner. "

" Okay, Mom. " Little Lucia replied as her mom left the room.

Little Lucia then started Feeding Rose the Porridge carefully, Spoon by Spoon she fed the latter carefully.

And soon, the bowl of Porridge was empty.

" Thanks. " Rose managed to say as she fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Little Lucia Closed her eyes with her hands together and said a prayer for Rose's Quick recovery.

After she was done she was about to leave the room when Rose's phone rang with an incoming call.

At first little Lucia thought of going to give the phone to her mom but she changed her mind after seeing the caller's name.

' Ceo Daniel. '

She then Pressed the Answer button on the phone.

" Hello, Rose? " Daniel's voice was heard from the other end.

" Hi, uncle. " Little Lucia greeted.

" Oh, Hello Lucia. " Daniel greeted, he wasn't that Suprised to hear a little girl's voice as he was aware that Rose was currently living with her Manager who had a 9-year-old daughter.

" How do you know my name, Uncle? " Little Lucia inquired a little Suprised.

" I have my ways, " Daniel replied simply.

" Okay. "

" So why are you with your Auntie's Phone? "

"Auntie is a little Sick and she's currently asleep. "

" Oh, what's wrong with her? " Daniel inquired worriedly.

" I don't know but I think the sickness started after she received a phone call from home. "

" Oh, it must be serious, please take care of her, Send my regards to your Mom and Rose when she wakes up. "

" Alright, I'll. "

" Thank you, Bye. "

" Bye. " Little Lucia replied as the call got disconnected.

' He's so nice and caring, I think he's going to be a perfect Partner for my Auntie, " Little Lucia thought.

[ I guess she's right, though. ]
