Chapter 326 Rosie was at the care home .

Amy dressed her in a coat , hat , and scarf .

Rosie chuckled , Its just a few steps ; isnt this too much ? Its necessary .

How could it not be ? Amy was older than Rosie .

She replied disapprovingly .

Its windy outside .

Its better to be cautious .

Alright , Ell listen to you , Amy , Rosie said .

Lets go .

Amy smiled and linked arms with Rosie as they walked out the door .

Since it was Christmas Day , the care home had organized some New Year activities , gathering those who couldnt return home to ensure no one felt lonely .

Of course , the activities were voluntary for those who preferred quiet .

Naturally .

Amy persuaded Rosie to come .

When they got to the activity room , Amy found a place and helped Rosic sit down .

Ms.

Miller , wait here for a bit .

Ill get you some snacks .

There will be a show soon .

We can enjoy it together .

Okay , Rosie nodded with a smile , taking off her coat and placing it on the chair next to her to save the spot for Amy- Suddenly , she realized someone had moved her coat Excuse me.

Rosie widened her eyes and turned to the person .

My caregiver takes this seat .

I cant see , and she sits next to me to help .

Could you please find another seat ? However , Howard just sat there .

Rosies eyes widened more .

She thought .

This person is annoyed .

How rude and inconsiderate : Howard casually placed her coat on the chair beside them and looked at her .

He thought , Hmm ? Is she upset ? Howard smiled .

Tasked your caregiver to move over one seat .

Is that okay ? Rosie thought .

That voice … She was surprised and muttered .

Its you Howard nodded .

Yes , its me , Happy New Year Rosies expression softened I into a gentle smile .

Happy New Year .

Didnt you go home for Christmas Day ? Howard replied .

Yeah , I just got back .

How about you ? Me too , Rosie replied Amy returned , carrying two plates of snacks .

Seeing Howard , they nodded quietly .

Howard took one of the plates and handed it to Rosie .

Let me take it .

If you need help , just ask me .

Rosie smiled g gratefully , thinking how kind he was .

She offered , Thanks .

You can help yourself too ; I cant see , so youll need to get it yourself .

Thanks , Howard said .

Youre welcome .

Rosie replied .

On stage , someone was putting on a show .

Rosie listened to the lively sounds , while Howard wasnt interested .

He was concerned about Rosies eyes , wondering if they were getting better .

He thought , Are they still swollen ? Is her head still hurting ? Howard swallowed and asked softly , Are your eyes alright ? Hmm ? Rosie turned her attention to him , paused , and then laughed , Theyre okay , except I cant see .

Howard frowned , I heard that some peop people cant see , but they still feel pain and discomfort .

How about you ? Rosie tilted her head curiously .

So others experience this too ? I wasnt feeling well yesterday , but after seeing the doctor and taking so I feel much better now .

It seemed the medine was working , and Howard felt relieved tina some medicine , Rosie blinked and looked at him in confusion .

By the way , from your voice , you sound quite y Rosie thought , Moreover , his health seems pretty good .

Otherwise , how could he have jumped into the lake to save me ? Howard was momentarily young .

Why are you living in a nursing home ? speechless 1 / 508 Chapter 326 Im sorry Rosie realized she might have asked something inappropriate .

Howard looked at her calm features , speaking softly .

A few years ago , I suffered a severe injury .

She thought , Even though he was not well , he still jumped into the lake to save me .

It shows he has a kind heart .

Rosie found a piece of candy on the dish and handed it to Howard .

Here , a sweet treat for the New Year .

Things will only improve .

Okay Howard took the candy , a smile spreading on his lips .

After the event , Howard walked behind Rosie as they returned .

At her rooms door , Howard stopped her , Hold on .

Rosie turned back to look at him .

Whats the matter ? Howard reached into his pocket and took out a box .

It was a pencil case .

He handed it to Rosie .

Her eyes widened , Is it a drawing pen ? Howard nodded .

Howard stood still , waiting for Amy to assist Rosie inside and close the door before he turned to leave .

As he glanced up , his eyes darkened Outside the corridor , down the steps , by the flower bed , Yvette stood there , her eyes filled w with shock and disbelief .

Howard frowned , quickly descended the steps , and walked straight to her .

Without a word , he grabbed her wrist .

Lets talk outside .

suddenly Yvette , feeling dazed with her head throbbing painfully , hadnt fully come to her senses when Howard dragged her out of the courtyard Suddenly , she snapped back to reality .

Howard ! Let go of me ! Howard abruptly turned back to her with a serious tone .

Calm down .

Whatever you want to know or ask , Ill tell you Really ? Yvettes eyes slowly turned red as she let out a bitter laugh .

Are you ready to talk now ? Didnt you keep assuring me that you hadnt betrayed me or had someone che ? Howard furrowed his brows and remained silent .

Speak up ! Yvettes eyes were filled with anger as she grabbed his collar , her voice sharp and piercing .

Howard , have you gone mute ?
