26 Blame Your Son-In-Law

Evan was so happy to hear Rose's words.

It had only been a few hours since he had seen her. He had already missed her so much. It felt like he wanted to teleport there and embrace her tightly.

"Me too! I feel like I want to go back there and stay with you. My family gathering here will be boring without you around…." Evan took a deep sigh while slumping his body to his bed.

He really hates coming back to his main house. Because her mother is always bothering him about arranged marriage. He always avoids it when there is a family gathering or party at his home. But now, he couldn't help it because today was his grandfather's birthday party. He couldn't ignore his grandfather.

Rose was surprised to hear Evan. How could Evan think like that? Does he have some falling-out with his family? Fearing that this man would return to East City to meet her, she immediately coaxed him...

"Evan, I miss you so much. But, I will feel terrible if you come back here and leave your family gathering because of me. Please, you don't have to do that for me…." She could only chuckle when she heard Evan take a deep breath. "Also, we will meet tomorrow for lunch, right?

"No! I will come to your house in the morning. Then we will go to my office? Or do you want to go to campus?" As final year students, they no longer have to be present on campus. Because in just a few days they will finish college.

Rose suddenly felt tense hearing about campus. She didn't want to go there. She was afraid to hear all the nasty gossip about her. Moreover, her classmate informed her that Dustin's fans cursed her for leaving their idol.

She hates it the most because scumbag Dustin sent her a text message. He asked to meet again to say something important. Right now, she doesn't want to meet Dustin. She had made it clear to Dustin about her feelings. There's nothing more to talk about with him.

Rose immediately said goodbye to Evan when she heard her mother knocking on her bedroom door.

"Why haven't you come out yet? Breakfast is already cold!" Molly opens the door and scolds her daughter. "You can't be lazy! Or my son-in-law will leave you. Did you know men don't like lazy and slow girls?"

"Gee, mom! You can blame your son-in-law because he made me late for breakfast...." Rose chuckled and ignored her mother. In a hurry, she prepared her backpack. They would go to the hospital as soon as she finished breakfast.

"What!? Why didn't you tell me my son-in-law called? I also wanted to say hello to him…." She hit her daughter on the back while walking ahead of her.

"MOTHER!!" Rose glared at her mother. "Why did you hit me?" She shakes her head while continuing to walk when she sees her mother ignore her.

"Sister Rose! Can we cancel going to the hospital? Can we go next time? Your mother is very healthy and strong, don't worry too much...mm?" Molly coaxes her little daughter. She doesn't like hospitals.

What's more, Molly had to fast before doing the test. When she sees her daughter enjoying her breakfast voraciously, she suddenly feels hungry.

"Mom! This is for your own health! And as I told you before, I don't want to hear your excuses anymore. Well, you clearly know my reason, right?"

Rose's eyes narrow, looking at her mother's eyes before continuing her saying.

"I have to make sure you are healthy before I leave for the capital."

Her mother's health is the first priority in her life right now. There's no room for discussion.

Seeing how her stubborn little girl didn't waver with her words, she couldn't help but sigh deeply. She couldn't change her daughter's stance. She would just go along with it even though she thought her daughters were too generous to donate their precious money to the hospital. She really knows her body, she is very healthy. She had never felt sick before.

Later…

They both are in the car heading to the hospital. Rose was so focused on driving her mother's old SUV. She occasionally glanced at her mother, who was sleeping beside her.

Remembering her previous life, her mother died because of a severe illness, making her heart feel like it had been stabbed by hundreds of nails. It really hurts!

She tries to brave herself with the test results. She never stopped praying to God. In this life, her mother wouldn't get sick at all.

Soon they arrive at the hospital.

They didn't wait long because Rose had made an appointment beforehand. While her mother was taking a series of tests, Rose remained in the waiting room with an uneasy feeling. She tries to divert her mind by checking her phone.

A few incoming messages show on the screen. But Rose wasn't interested in reading it, worried that her mood would change if they just wanted to discuss her photo at the cinema with Evan.

She wanted to toss her phone into her bag a few seconds before. There was an incoming call. But her heartfelt tense again the moment she read the caller's name.

"This scumbag, why is he still calling me?" Rose murmurs while staring at her cellphone. She doesn't want to answer his call. She had made it clear that she didn't want to receive any messages or calls from him.

After the incoming call was left unanswered. Rose feels much relieved. But later, a new message arrived.

Now she was debating whether to read Dustin's message or not?

After deep thought, she decided to read it.

[Asshole] Babe, I need to talk to you. I promise this is the last time I ask to see you. But if you refuse, I'll not stop until we meet! So please, for the last time, let's meet up.

Instantly she felt like beating up that scumbag Dustin.
