Chapter 354 She Had Done Her Best
"Ok." Rose smiled with corners of her mouth upward, "Let's buy some fruit and flowers."
They bought a bouquet of carnations and a fruit basket at the gate of the hospital and then they went to May's ward.
Out of politeness, they knocked at the door. Then the door was opened by Alaya. She was surprised when seeing Bright and Rose.
Especially Bright, who was so handsome that Alaya was fully attracted.
A simple white shirt and a dark suit made him look tall and slim. With his handsome face, he was so elegant. His eyes were pure and quiet and there was only Rose inside. Only when looking at Rose would his eyes become mild.
"Alaya." Rose called to Alaya in a low voice.
"Come in." Alaya came to herself, stood back and let them in.
They entered the ward. Bright put down the basket and Rose put the flowers in a vase by the bed.
May was asleep at first, but because of the sound, she opened her eyes.
"Mom, you are awake." Alaya said softly, "Rose and Mr. Lee are here."
Hearing that, May looked at Rose and then shifted her gaze to Bright. Her eyes were moist and red.
"Mom, what happened?" Alaya found something strange about her and suggested that she be decent in front of the guests. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
May thought she was dreaming and she blinked. Making sure that it was real, she said, "Rose? And Mr. Lee? Thank you for your visiting. How do you know I am here?"
May looked at them in surprise.
Few people knew her suicide because it was dishonorable and they blocked the news.
"My grandpa is also in hospital. And I met Sky just now and he told me that." Rose didn't mention she found by herself.
"Well…" When talking about Sky, May was sad and couldn't help crying.
"Aunt May, take care." Rose handed a tissue to her.
She took the tissue and wiped away her tears. She smiled, "Sorry to be unseemly. But I am really happy that you can take time off to be here."
"You are welcome. The Tanner Group is our partner and you are important to Rose, so it is reasonable to visit you." He said carefully.
May was touched and nodded her head, "Thank you."
Then she stared at his face and watched carefully, with her eyes lingering.
Bright didn't feel uneasy to be stared at. He just felt strange that those attracted by him were usually young women, but now the person attracted was the elder May.
Rose and Alaya found her strange. Alaya said, "Mom, would you like some water?"
Not until then did May find herself rude, but she couldn't help looking at Bright. She said, "Alaya, pour each of them a glass of water please. I nearly forget it."
Then she pointed to a sofa and said, "Sit down please."
Rose looked at Bright, implying that they should stay for a while.
Bright obeyed her wish and sat on the sofa near a table, which made his legs uncomfortable.
"May, I have talked to Sky when I met him." Rose held her hands, "I have tried my best, but because I am just his friend, I cannot interfere with his life and choices.
No matter what he is going to do in the future, you have to be mentally prepared. You can refuse to accept, but you can't hurt yourself again.
There are so many people loving you. Hurting yourself is also hurting others who love you, so the most important thing is to make yourself happy. There is nothing more important than taking good care of yourself. And the kids can take care of themselves."
Rose bowed her head and looked at her wrist wrapped in white gauze. On it the color of the blood could be seen. Though it was not obvious, it still burnt her eyes.
If she hadn't refused May directly and had understood what she meant in her last words, such things could have been avoided.
Though she was not responsible, but she didn't want May to be like this.
In her perception, May was more like her mom, from whom she could feel maternal love.
"Rose, I am Sky's mom, so I should be responsible. I can't see him keep making mistakes." May understood Rose's advice, "Sophie, this bad woman, will destroy him. I can't bear to see him become worse. I want to do him good, though he doesn't understand and I am willing to pay my life to bring him back to the right path."
May seemed to make up her mind that Sky was not allowed to run wild.
"May…" Her persistence made Rose upset.
"Mom, though you want to persuade him, you cannot hurt yourself." Alaya joined in the persuasion, "I will take care of him. Also, I will figure out how to kick out Sophie so that Sky will not be hurt."
"He doesn't listen to me and even doesn't come to see me when I am like this. How can he listen to you?" May was anxious when mentioning Sky.
"May, don't think too much. You need to recover first and then think of ways to help him." Rose rubbed her shoulders, "Ways are come up with by people. We have so many people that it will be easy to figure out an idea. Don't worry."
So many people…
May glanced at Bright who kept silent, sat there and drank tea. She gritted his teeth.
It seemed that Bright was her final chance.
"Alaya, I am hungry. Could you please buy me a bowl of wontons?" May pushed Alaya away and said to Rose, "Rose, could you do me a favor?"
Bright stood up like a mountain and said, "May I help you? Let Rose stay with you."
"To be honest, I want to talk to you, Bright." May had to tell the truth.
"Go ahead. I need to pick up Doris from grandpa." Rose tapped his shoulders, hoping that he could take it easy.
Bright nodded.
