Tom was stunned for a moment â who had these roses been bought for?
Everyone knew that roses represented love. Soon he seemed to think otherwise, and felt indignant at Charles, âMiss Flowers is already married, why do you have to be so obsessed?â
Charles looked up with a disgruntled face, âSince when did you have to judge my personal affairs?â
Tom ducked his head, âIâm sorry.â
Charles didnât want to investigate, he just didnât like others meddling in his affairs, âIâll buy it myself. You push me.â
âYes.â Tom lowered his head.
Tom pushed Charles across the street and entered a flower shop. The unique fragrance of the flowers blew against his face. There were many flowers in the store.
The different scents mingled and created another special smell.
The florist came over to greet them, âCan I help you?â.
Charles ignored her, but rolled his wheelchair over to where the roses were placed. The roses were red like fire, they were also like the glow of the sunset, they were incredibly beautiful.
The florist quickly realized which flowers he wanted to buy. She quickly approached him, âMay I know how many roses you need?â.
Charles said lightly, âFive roses, please.â
The florist froze for a while, then smiled and said, âOkay, please wait a moment.â
As she said, she chose five delicate, blooming roses. She filled in the holes with white pearls. The white pearls enhanced the red roses, making them even more beautiful. The florist chose a light-colored wrapping paper to wrap the roses. She had good wrapping skills, and the roses were beautifully wrapped.
âHere you go.â She handed the bouquet to Charles with both hands.
Charles took it and placed it in his lap. He looked down, stroked the petals lightly, and indicated faintly, âTom, pay for it.â
âA total of 380 yuan.â Said the florist.
Tom gave her 400 yuan and told her to keep the change. Then, he pushed Charlesâ wheelchair, and they left the flower shop.
âAre we still going to the hospital?â Tom asked.
âDid you buy the flowers just for him?â replied Charles lightly.
Tom sighed inwardly. Except for Charlesâ inability to walk, everything else about Charles was perfect in Tomâs eyes.
How was a man like that going to like a married woman?
He could get any kind of woman if he wanted. But why was he focusing on a married woman?
Tom didnât understand, and couldnât understand.
Yet he couldnât bring himself to say it. He could only think it silently in his heart.
He felt unworthy for Charles.
When they returned to the hospital, the guards at the gate looked at him strangely.
âHe was gone, wasnât he, why did he come back?â
âIâll leave after I give her the flowers,â Charles said.
The guards were a little embarrassed.
Their boss had ordered them not to let anyone in or out of the room, and he had been there once before.
Meanwhile, Coral went out to take out the trash. She approached when she saw Charles who was blocked in the doorway. He seemed to wonder why Charles had left and then returned.
So she walked over and asked, âIs there anything else?â
Charles handed Coral the bouquet of flowers, âPlease pass this to her for me.â
Coral was very happy and took it. These flowers were very pretty and put people in a good mood when they looked at them. If these flowers were placed in the pavilion, they would make the pavilion vibrant. Dolores could not get out of bed now, so maybe she would be happy to see these beautiful flowers. Coral smiled and said, âI thank you on behalf of the young lady. Her health is not good now, so I will not invite her in. The doctor has told you to get more rest.â
Charles said he understood, âPlease take care of her.â
Then, he asked Tom to give Coral a business card, âIf you need help, please let me know.â
Coral hesitated for a moment. It seemed rude if she didnât take the business card he handed her. Besides, he seemed to know Dolores well. So Coral took the business card, âWell, Iâm going back first. She canât be alone in the room.â Charles nodded.
Coral returned to the living room with the flowers. Dolores was dozing as she lay on the bed. She thought she saw Coral enter with something in her hands. She opened her eyes and saw that Coral was holding a bouquet of roses. She was stunned for a moment and then asked, âWhere did you get the flowers from?â
âCould it be that Matthew bought them?
âThe man in the wheelchair just gave them to him.â Coral reached for a glass and set about putting the roses in it.
Dolores slept on her side and her eyelashes fluttered. Of course, Matthew was not one to do such a thing.
She smiled bitterly, laughing at the fact that today was abnormal.
She thought of him inexplicably.
A bouquet of red roses added new color to the room, which also brought new life to the cold room.
Coral smiled and wanted to talk to Dolores, but then she turned around and found that Dolores had closed her eyes. Coral did not know if Dolores was asleep and did not dare to disturb her.
In the evening, the mansion maids brought the food. Coral had dialed the mansionâs number and Victoria picked up the phone. Victoria thought it was Jayden, but it turned out to be Coral. Coral had been taking care of Matthew and enjoyed his deep trust. When Coral called, she merely asked for someone to bring some meals to the hospital. She said nothing more.
It was Matthew who had to decide whether to tell Victoria about Doloresâ pregnancy.
Coral knew Matthewâs attitude toward Victoria.
Therefore, she said nothing.
Victoria asked why the meals had to be delivered and the reason for cooking them to order. Coral merely explained that Dolores was not feeling well and wanted to eat something light.
Victoria stopped asking. After all, in Doloresâ current state, it was normal for her to have no appetite.
She was just a little worried. However, when she thought about Jayden going to find Matthew to resolve this matter, she calmed down and didnât keep asking.
The food was made according to Coralâs request. It was nutritionally balanced, good looking and tasty. Dolores ate a little, but not much. Coral was pleased, âAs long as you can eat something.â
Doloresâ appetite would slowly improve later.
Dolores looked at the time. It was already seven oâclock in the evening, and Matthew still hadnât returned.
Coral cleared the dishes. Dolores leaned against the headboard of her bed and looked unwillingly at the bouquet of roses placed in front of the window. The roses were blooming beautifully. She squinted and stared blankly.
When Coral finished cleaning the dishes, she walked in and saw Dolores watching. Then she asked, âIsnât it beautiful?â.
Dolores looked at Coral and smiled, but said nothing.
âCoral, do you know what kind of flowers they are?â asked Dolores suddenly.
Coral shook her head. She only knew that those flowers were beautiful, but she didnât know what they were.
Dolores said lightly, âTheyâre called roses.â
Coral didnât understand either, it just seemed like a pretty name to her.
âThe man in the wheelchair has very good taste,â Coral said.
Dolores thought Coralâs comment was quite interesting.
Roses represented love, and she was sure Charles knew it. He knew she was pregnant, but he still sent her rosesâ¦.
She sighed lightlyâ¦
âWhatâs wrong, is it wrong to send roses?â Coral wondered why Dolores sighed.
Dolores said, âNothing.â She deliberately changed the subject and asked, âWhen did he leave in the morning?â
