Love After One-Night Stand With CEO Chapter 82
“Don’t… don’t do this…”
“No, don’t leave me… Please don’t leave… don’t leave me behind…”
“Rosa… Rosa…” A gentle voice sounded in her ear anxiously.
“Don’t… don’t leave me behind… Don’t go, don’t go…”
“Wake up, Rosa, wake up!”
“Ah—” Rosa’s eyes widened in an instant.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here!” The man immediately hugged her and patted her back gently.
Rosa gasped for breath as he held her tightly in his arms.
Her forehead and hair were drenched because of the nightmare.
In the quiet environment, there was only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall.
The night was very quiet.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream!” The gentle voice said softly beside her, giving her comfort.
Rosa panted for a while before she came to her senses.
“Where, where am I? Where’s my brother?” She raised her head in confusion, her vision was clouded.
He reached out and tugged her hair behind her ear. He said gently, “We’re at Silver Beach. Cecil is in his ward. I’ll bring you to him at dawn.”
Rosa was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened.
“Why are you on my bed?” She came to her senses after a while.
“You’ve been crying, so I came to check on you!”
“Oh,” she said and then continued, “Thank you. I’m fine now. Uncle, go back and rest!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she moved out of his embrace.
Then, she positioned herself to defend herself against him.
He smiled helplessly and touched her nose as he said, “You little thing, Can you not be so heartless, hmm?”
Rosa felt a little uncomfortable. She lay down and shrank into the quilt. “Uncle, go back to your room and rest. It’s getting late!”
“Aren’t you afraid of having a nightmare?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.
Rosa was a little embarrassed. “No, I’m not afraid. Compared to you, nightmares are much better!”
As soon as she finished her words, she was stunned.
Huh? Did she just spill her thoughts?
Henry looked at her shocked expression and he swallowed. He felt the temperature rising a little and couldn’t look away from her.
Rosa bit her lips and covered herself with the quilt. Then, she looked at him and muttered, “Uncle… I’m going to sleep!”
Henry sighed in a low voice. He resisted his urge and lay down as well.
Rosa’s eyes widened in shock.
He rubbed his chin against her head and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Don’t push me away, okay?”
Rosa was stunned by his words and didn’t know how to answer.
“I’ll sleep with you in my arms. I won’t force you to do anything, okay?”
“But… you’re hugging me so tightly… I… I feel so uncomfortable…”
Her soft voice touched his heart.
With that cute and lovely face of hers, her eyes shimmered as she begged him.
“Uncle… I can’t breathe…”
He glanced at her and smiled faintly. “Then I’ll loosen my grip a bit!”
He moved to the side and loosened his grip.
Just as Rosa was about to speak, he said, “Alright, go to sleep. You won’t have nightmares anymore!”
All of a sudden, Rosa was speechless.
“How am I supposed to sleep like this?” She thought.
And yet, she was the first one to fall asleep!
However, it wasn’t easy for the other person to sleep.

Early the next morning, when Rosa woke up.
Sounds of someone taking a shower came from the bathroom. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She frowned and was a little puzzled.
“Why is he taking a shower so early in the morning?” She wondered.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She limped as she was about to put on some clothes.
Unexpectedly, she knocked down the trash can beside her.
Immediately, all the rubbish inside were scattered across the floor.
Rosa hurriedly squatted down and picked up the garbage.
The bathroom door opened.
The man wrapped himself in a bath towel and wiped his hair.
“Hmm? You’re awake?” His hand, which was wiping his hair, paused slightly and looked at her.
Rosa lowered her head and blushed as she wiped her hands, ignoring him.
It was so early in the morning, and her sudden awkwardness made Henry a little confused.
He looked at the ground and immediately caught on.
She raised her head angrily and glared at him, only to find him smiling brightly.
She limped to the bathroom awkwardly.
But before she reached the bathroom, she was picked up by someone.
“What are you doing?” she asked angrily.
“Don’t you want to see your brother sooner? How long will it take for you to get ready if you’re so slow?”
Rosa felt very helpless. How could he always manage to silence her with just one sentence?
He helped her brush her teeth and washed her face gently.
But Rosa was not happy.
Did he really take her as an idiot who needed to be taken care of like this?
It was her leg that was injured, not her hands!
However, the man was very happy and said, “Turns out helping someone could be so interesting!”
Half an hour later…
When they arrived at the hospital, Cecil had been transferred to a VIP room.
Rosa sat next to him and held his hand, her eyes turning red.
“Cecil…”
“Sister…” Cecil was already awake at dawn.
He also talked a lot with the nurse and found out that she had been brought home by Mr. Lewis.
Only then did he relax.
“Sorry, I’m sorry. I almost…” Rosa didn’t dare to recall what had happened yesterday.
She tightened her grip on his hand anxiously.
“It’s okay, sister. I’m fine!” Cecil felt her nervousness and couldn’t help but smile.
Rosa sniffled and chuckled. “Well, in the future, I won’t make the same mistake from yesterday!”
The two talked for a while.
Cecil urged her to go to school.
There were doctors and nurses taking care of him. He could handle it.
Rosa wanted to stay.
However, she remembered that Cecil staying here required money.
Yesterday, Henry’s car was hit.
She was afraid that 500,000 dollars weren’t enough.
So, the scholarship was particularly important to her.
“Okay, then I’ll go to school. I’ll come here as soon as school is over!” Rosa said hurriedly.
“Okay!” Cecil nodded and told her to be careful on the way.
At this moment, Henry walked over.
“Uncle!” Cecil called hurriedly.
“Well, how do you feel?”
“I’m much better. Thank you, uncle. The nurse told me!” Cecil was extremely grateful.
“Don’t worry too much. Take good care of yourself here. I will take care of your sister!”
Thank you, uncle. I’ll leave my sister to you! Cecil said hurriedly.
He knew that this would not be a good idea.
However, he was now hospitalized, and he was really afraid of his sister’s safety.
“Don’t worry!” After that, he looked at Rosa and said, “Do you want to go to school? I’ll drop you off!”
Rosa nodded, but she was still reluctant to leave Cecil and worried.
“Don’t worry about it and go to school. I’ve told you that the best nurse has been hired to take care of him for 24 hours, and his food is made separately in the canteen. The nurses and doctors will often come to check on him. Don’t worry!”
Rosa looked at him and bowed politely. “Thank you, uncle!”
“Thank you, uncle!” Cecil was also grateful.
Henry nodded and carried her away.
In the elevator, people around him shifted aside because of his strong presence.
“Uncle… can you take me home first? I left my bag at home!”
Without saying anything, the elevator reached the first floor and he carried her out.
“Mr. Lewis!” Denny immediately opened the car door.
Rosa turned around and saw the schoolbag in the back seat.
“Why is my schoolbag here?” She looked at Henry, who was approaching from behind and then at Denny, who was standing outside.
“I went ahead to retrieve it!” Denny smiled slightly and leaned closer to the window. “By the way, Mr. Lewis, the moving services are already on their way. They will move in a while!”
Rosa frowned and felt a little uneasy.
“What moving services?” She looked at Denny outside the window and asked.
“Well, we’re moving the stuff from your home. It’s a little small and there’s not a lot to move. So I got a small moving company. I hope Miss Lopez won’t mind.” The items were too small, and there wasn’t anything valuable.
But Mr. Lewis said that everything that belonged to her should be brought over.
“Why do I need to move? Where am I moving to?” Rosa asked anxiously.
