Rose was surprised and calm once she heard May take the initiative to mention what happened five
years ago.
May said that she believed her. Rose knew that May was sincere. She could see guilt and shame in
May's eyes.
"You don't have to apologize. Everything had gone and I'm fine now." Rose didn't want to mention the
past, "And I'm grateful you believed in me."
It was a scar. Every time she mentioned it, it was as if she was tearing her scabbed wounds apart
again.
And even if she said, did it matter? Without evidence, who would believe her?
Now that May was Sophie's mother-in-law, if she really said it, it would seem that she was alienating
May from Sophie.
"I am glad to hear that you are fine." Noticing that Rose did not want to talk about the past, May
changed the subject and talked about something else, "Are you married now?"
May went to the VIP lounge the day of the reception because she was dizzy. So, she didn't know what
happened outside.
"Yes." Rose said frankly.
"What kind of a man is he? He must love you very much, right?" May's face was concerned, as if Rose
was her own daughter.
May used to treat Rose as her daughter. However, she didn't expect something like what happened five
years ago to ruin their relationship.
"He doesn't mind my past and that I have a daughter. He also treats my daughter as if she were his
own child. He gives more when we're together. But he never complains." Rose spoke of Bright, her
face alight with happiness.
Hearing this, May felt happy for her, "That is indeed a good man."
"So, I just want to hold on to the happiness I have now. Nothing else matters to me." Rose felt that all
the pain she had suffered before had been gently soothed by Bright.
"Rose, I'm relieved to see you happy. It's Sky who doesn't deserve you. It's the Tanner family who is
sorry for you." May felt guilty, "I just hope you don't hate us."
"Mrs. Tanner, isn't it good that Sky is with Sophie now? Sophie got pregnant with Sky's baby. They're
happy too." Rose kept her smile as if she was sincerely wishing for it.
May didn't answer and just nodded gently.
"Where is your husband? Didn't he accompany you today?" May mentioned Rose's husband again.
"He went back to City J this afternoon for work." Rose was parched and took a few sips of lemonade to
moisten her dry throat, "He's from City J."
"City J?" May frowned when she heard City J, "He is from City J. Then, he must know Mr. Bright. I
heard that you and Mr. Bright are familiar with each other because of your work."
"My husband is none other than Bright." Rose did not hide anything.
May, however, turned pale and knocked over the glass of lemonade in front of Nora. The water trickled
down the table and dripped on her skirt. But she seemed not to notice it and remained motionless.
"Mrs. Tanner." Seeing this, Rose called out to her twice and took a napkin to wipe the water.
May came back to her senses. But her face was still pale and even her breathing was heavier a bit.
"Are you okay?" In Rose's memory, May was always elegant and calm. She had never lost her
composure like she just did.
"I'm sorry. I am feeling a bit ill." May felt that the corners of her forehead ached dully again.
Rose looked at May, remembered that at the reception that day, May was dizzy and felt ill when she
heard Bright's name. She even stumbled and almost fell.
Why did May react so violently when she heard Bright's name? Was there any relationship or problem
between her and Bright?
There should be no possibilities. The Tanner family had never interacted with the Lee family of City J
for so many years.
"You know Bright?" Rose asked May.
"The Lee family of City J is so famous. I just heard of him... but don't know him." May reached out to
rub the corners of her forehead to ease the pain while taking deep breaths to calm herself down,
"Maybe I'll ask you to be an introducer later, Rose."
The more she said, the more she gasped. Her lips were pale.
"You're not looking too well. I'd better take you to the hospital." Rose got up and held May for fear of an
accident.
"No ... no need ..." May just said and fainted, leaning in Rose's arms.
Rose was anxious when Nora finally came back. Nora was shocked to see May, "Why is she here?
What's going on?"
"She passed out." Rose frowned, "Nora, you go and drive. Let's take her to the hospital."
"Rose, she's Sky's mother. What did Sky and Sophie do to you? She is also from the Tanner family ...
Don't be soft hearted and a busybody. Others may think that you have evil intentions." Nora disliked all
the members of the Tanner family and was also angry that Rose was so soft hearted.
"May has always been in poor health. A human life is of greater value than everything. Go quickly,
OK?" Rose urged and begged Nora.
Nora was very reluctant to turn around to get the car. Rose asked the waiter to call Doris, and then
helped her carry May out to Nora's car.
The nearest hospital was only ten minutes away. Soon, they arrived and May was taken to the
emergency room.
Nora finished the procedure for entering the hospital and came over, raising the bill in her hand, "I'm
really convinced of you! You silly girl!"
"May has always been good to me. But she has her own identity and position. There are some things
she cannot make the decision. I'll transfer the money to you." Rose reached for the bill when Nora
withdrew it.
"Every debt has its debtor. It's not much money, but it shouldn't be paid by us." Nora took it away, just in
case Rose would do a foolish thing.
They waited for a while before Sam and Sky arrived at the emergency room. They were surprised
when they saw Rose and Nora.
Sam frowned and Sky pursed his lips.
Before they could say anything, the curtain of the emergency bed was pulled open. They hastened to
step forward and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is my wife (mom)?"
"Mrs. Tanner is fine. She fainted because she was weak and lost control of her emotions. Rest well,
and get better nutrition and exercise." The doctor advised, "She can go home when her IV is finished."
"Thank you, doctor." Sam and Sky said.
May was transferred to the infusion room by the nurse and Sam and Sky were about to follow.
Nora stepped forward and blocked their way, "Mr. Sam and Mr. Sky don't even express your thanks?"
"Thank you, Miss Nora." The two said.
"I am not willing to be a busybody. If you want to thank someone, just thank Rose." It was obvious that
Nora was trying to cause trouble.
