Chapter 190 A Walking Corpse
Rose hugged Nora more tightly, while Nora buried her face deeper in her arms.
They just hugged each other on the road where the cars came and went. The night wind gently blew their hair...
"Ms. Rose, Ms. Rose ..." Seeing them motionless, the driver had to urge them, "It is not safe for you to stay here. Let's get in the car. "
Besides, they also delayed his work.
Rose then recovered from sadness. She had intended to come to persuade Nora. But now, she was also immersed in the sadness.
"Nora, get up. Let's go home." Rose stood up first, and then helped Nora up.
Nora stood up and clung to Rose, letting Rose help her to the car.
In the car, Nora kept hugging Rose. She did not say anything or cry and was terrifying calm.
Rose knew that Nora needed time to restrain herself and adjust her emotions. So, she kept stroking her back, trying to drive away those worries and pain for her.
After they arrived at the villa she lived in by the lake, where Nora lived in, the driver parked the car and left. Rose thanked him, went to the villa, and then knocked on the door. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
"Freya, come and help me."
There were still lights in the living room. So, Freya, Nora’s housekeeper should still be awake.
Freya hurried to open the door and saw that it was Rose, "Ms. Rose, what's the matter? Ms. Nora is not at home."
"She's drunk and in the car. Please come to help her into the house." Rose turned around and Freya followed.
They carefully helped Nora out of the car and into the house. Then, they went upstairs and put Nora on the sofa in the bedroom.
"Ms. Rose, what's going on with Ms. Nora? Is something wrong?" Freya looked at Nora, who was expressionless and dirty, and was worried.
"Freya, she just got drunk and fell. Nothing is wrong." Rose explained briefly, "You can go rest. I'll take care of her here."
"I am going to make a soup for Ms. Nora to sober up, or she'll have a headache tomorrow." Freya then left.
Rose went to the bathroom and took some warm water. She soaked the towel in water and wrung it. Then, she sat down, put Nora's legs on her knees, and gently wiped the dust and dirt on Nora's legs with the towel, especially her palms and toes, which were worn out by the rough road and bleeding from her barefoot running.
Looking at this, Rose felt distressed and cleaned it for Nora carefully. Even if it hurt, Nora just frowned and bore it.
After cleaning the wound, Rose brought the medical box and took out cotton swabs and alcohol to disinfect the tiny wound on Nora's palms and toes. Nora still remained silent.
She could understand Nora. The mental pain at the moment was a thousand times heavier than the physical pain. So, the physical pain was a small thing.
After finishing the treatment, Rose put the water basin, towel and medicine box back.
Freya also brought the soup, "Ms. Rose, Ms. Nora, please remember to drink the soup."
"Thank you, Freya," Rose looked at Nora who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed.
"Call me if you need anything. I'll leave first."
Rose took a thin blanket to cover Nora, "Alright. Don't hurt yourself like this anymore, okay?"
Nora's eyelashes trembled lightly before she slowly opened her eyes, "I am too impulsive today."
"I saw him burned to ashes with my own eyes and knew clearly that he is dead. I also know that I will have a rough time like this. But I am still persistent ...Rose, I am really stupid."
"You are not stupid, but infatuated and cannot look forward. So, it is inevitable that you will trap in yourself." Rose took her hand and shook it, "You've always advised me to lay the past to rest. But have you ever done it? You should learn from me now."
"You have Mr. Bright who loves you. But who do I have?" Nora looked up and chuckled, "I'm all on my own."
"Nora, since you chose Alan among the people who proposed to you, he must have something you like. You have been married to him for five years. Why don't you try to start a warm and happy family?" Rose advised, "Bright and I have never thought that we can fall in love with each other one day. But now, we are going in a better direction. I believe you can do it too, as long as you look forward."
"Let me tell you, Alan really has no merit. I married him because we made an appointment that we couldn't restrict each other after marriage. In public, we are a couple. In private, we are strangers. Otherwise, do you think I would marry him?" Nora looked around the large room, "Although we live together, we sleep in our own rooms. It's really impossible for me and him to be together."
"You also know that Alan has a girlfriend. How can I break them up? Besides, we've made a deal. Anyway, we've been like this for five years. There's nothing wrong with it."
Rose said nothing more, but reminded, "Nora, you have to think about it clearly. Oscar is dead. Do you want to bury your life for him like this?"
"I once told him that I was his woman whether he was alive or dead. So, the moment he died, I actually died with him. I am just a walking corpse now." Nora sat up and regained her charming smile, "It's getting late. Why don't you spend the night here? We can sleep together like we used to."
"Okay." Rose had drunk and couldn't drive back on her own. Besides, she was worried about Nora.
Tonight, she wanted to be with Nora.
"Then you go take a shower first. There are new pajamas in the dressing room."
"OK."
Rose took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Nora waited for Rose while the room was opened from outside.
Alan hurried in and walked to Nora with a worried look on his face, "I heard from Freya that you fell down. Are you hurt? Why don't you go to the hospital to check?"
"I'm fine." Nora sat up straight, "Why did you come in without knocking? Get out!"
"I am afraid that you get hurt." Alan looked at Nora's legs covered by the blanket, "Let me see your injury."
"No need. Get out." Nora got up and tried to drive him out.
Alan then saw the injury on Nora's toes and grabbed her hand, "You're hurt. Don't move."
"As long as you don't bother me, I won't move." Nora struggled and tried to pull her hand back.
Alan, however, picked her up and strode to the big bed, "I'll leave after you're asleep."
At that moment, Rose came out in her pajamas and saw them like this. Nora thumped Alan's shoulder with her hand, "Get me down."
