Chapter 1027 Truth (11)
After the game ended, Rose quickly walked into the restroom and splashed cold water on her face. Only then did she slowly calm down.Rose forced herself not to think too much about it. It was just a game after all. Elliot's words were probably just casual remarks.
After mentally preparing herself, Rose took a deep breath and walked out of the restroom. But before she could take two steps, she heard two familiarvoices conversing at the end of the hallway.
"What are you planning to do about Tom? After Rose died, he was convinced that you forced his sister to death and almost stabbed you with a knifelike a madman. I still have nightmares about it.”
Rose was caught off guard when she heard her brother's name and these things that she had never known before.
She covered her mouth in disbelief and silently retreated back into the restroom. She never thought that her brother would do such foolish things forher sake - even if it meant going against Elliot!novelbin
There were tears glistening in Rose's eyes as she realized that even now, her brother didn't know that she hadn't actually died! So was Elliot teamingup with someone else to get revenge on her brother because of what happened back then?
As these thoughts raced through Rose's mind, anger began to consume her until Henry said something unexpected.“Even though Tom hurt you so badly back then, you didn't hold him accountable because of Rose."
"And now... I believe that you won't falsely accuse him.”
Elliot only glanced at Henry without responding - he seemed annoyed by his excessive talking
Rose clenched the hand by her side tightly as doubts filled up inside of her. Would someone who had been so cruel towards me really be kindenough towards my brother?
If Elliot wasn't trying to frame Tom for what happened back then... then why did he hide the surveillance footage? To find out what really happened, itseemed like they needed access to those tapes as soon as possible!
With the determination once again, Rose quietly left the restroom but just at this moment, Elliot also moved. He turned around, and caught sight of afleeting figure disappearing down at end of hallway...
Later in evening, Leah kept pestering her mother, her huge eyes full anticipation, "Mommy, won't you come soak in hot springs with me?”
“That hot spring over there is so beautiful at night! Not only are there all kinds of lights, but you can also see the stars and moon! Uncle Henry saidthat the stars here are so beautiful!"
"And, and, the hot steam slowly rises up from the hot spring. It will definitely become as beautiful as a fairyland!"Rose smiled helplessly when she heard this.
“Okay, Mommy will go with you. But you have to wait for Mommy to change clothes first, okay?"
"Mhmm!" Leah nodded happily with a smile on her face.
Ten minutes later, Rose and Leah set off for the hot springs.
After getting into the pool, Leah was like a happy little duck splashing around in the water.
Rose leaned against the edge of the pool with an indulgent look on her face as she watched her daughter play in the water with a warm smile on herlips.
At first, Rose had some energy left and was teasing her daughter absentmindedly. But maybe because she was tired today, it wasn't long beforeRose fell asleep.
When Leah saw how peacefully asleep her mommy looked like Sleeping Beauty herself, an idea popped into her mind.She grinned slyly and climbed out of the hot spring quietly before running away quickly on short legs without making any neise at allSeveral minutes later, Rose gradually woke up from being too warm. She rubbed her temples wearily after opening bleary eyes.
Looking up at moon above, she turned around to call Leah back to sleep but found that there was no trace of Leah in sight! In such a big hot springpool , only she herself remained alone

Due to dimming lights, Rose didn't notice that standing not far away from where she stood now was Elliot himself.
Elliot looked at this woman who wore nothing more than just one towel draped over her body; his Adam's apple rolled involuntarily once while hisvoice became particularly deep when he spoke
"You waited here specially for me?”
Rose suddenly heard this familiar voice and froze in place immediately, looking up towards the man standing right before her now.How did Elliot end up here? When did he arrive?
Before Rose could say anything, Elliot's low voice sounded again. "Are you shy?"
Rose couldn't help feeling speechless once again.
This jerk just barges in without an invitation. What's there for her to feel shy about?
She pursed her lips and cast a cold glance at Elliot.
He stood in backlight, his figure tall and slender. The unparalleled handsomeness of his face was bathed in warm light, giving off a hint of tenderness.Suddenly, Rose didn't want to emerge from the water in front of him like this. Clenching her teeth, she uttered. “Turn around first.""Sure." Without the slightest hesitation, Elliot's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he turned away.
He thought she was merely shy and never considered that she might not want to see him here at all.
Rose hadn't expected that this man would actually comply so readily and turn around.
But it worked in her favor, as she was only thinking about making a stealthy exit from here.

He caught sight of Rose attempting to escape while clutching her towel.
The next second, before he could call out to stop her, he heard her scream. "Ah!"
Due to her hasty movements and the wet ground, Rose slipped and tumbled backward!
Elliot's expression flashed with concern. He hurriedly rushed forward, his hand quickly gripping the woman who was about to fall.He pulled her delicate waist close, bringing her into his arms forcefully.
Still shaken, Rose stared at the man who was now so close, her eyes wide in shock.
Elliot's deep gaze fell upon her, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Where did you think you were running off to?”
