With You For the Rest of My Life

Just as Rose carefully wiped the body of Burke, the voice of Burke's grandma came from downstairs accompanied by a burst of hurried and noisy footsteps.

"How is he, Rosy?"

Although Burke's grandma was old, she was still strong because of good care. Her voice was very loudly as well. No sooner had Burke's grandma arrived than Rose heard his grandma's voice.

Rose could not help stopping her movements in her hand. She helped to tidy up the clothes of Burke and gently covered him with a quilt.

The whole actions were not finished yet, and Burke's grandma came in with the help of a servant. Seeing that Rose was gently tucked the quilt for Burke, she felt relieved.

"Good boy, thank you so much..." As soon as Burke's grandma came in, she walked to the bed and took Rose's hand to comfort her. She really liked her.

"I'm fine, grandma. The doctor has come here to bring down fever, so it should be nothing serious. " Then she stood up beside the bed and allowed Mrs. Gu to take her hand.

"That's good. Take care of yourself too. Don't fall ill yourself. Look at your hands. Why are they so cold? " Burke's grandma said with concern.

"I will."

Rose replied. She looked up at the clock in the corner. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

She didn't sleep last night. As a result of his fever, she was too busy to take care of him and to eat anything. Therefore, it was inevitable that her hands were cold.

Burke's grandma looked at the haggard burly Burke in bed, heartbroken, and insisted to stay and look after him. Considering that Burke's grandma was too old to bear it, and there was nothing she could do, Rose spent a lot of effort to persuade her to go back.

Burke's grandma saw how much Rose worried and anxious about Burke, and she was more determined that Rose have to be her granddaughter in law. She believed that the two people still cared about each other, but they were just unwilling to admit it.
