Noah was stunned. Someone urged, "Sir, you'd better take your wife to the hospital as soon as possible. She doesn't look well."
Noah looked at Nina's drooping head with worry consuming him. He bent down and picked her up, striding towards the parking lot.
She was so dizzy. She squinted, trying to make out the figure before her.
Nina saw somewhat of a mixture of John's and Noah's faces intertwined and overlapping.
"No." She knew that something was wrong.
Nina wasn't used to being carried like this. It just felt off.
John never carried her in his arms like this. Most of the time, he slung her over his shoulder and let her lie there like a lifeless corpse.
Nina shook her head and snapped out of it, seeing the person holding her. "Noah?"
"Nini, don't worry. I'm going to take you to the hospital." Noah put her into the car and drove to the nearest hospital.
Still dazed, Nina slumped against the seat and fell asleep after battling her droopy eyelids to stay open.
Standing out on the street, Ford watched the car disappear around the corner. He looked on deeply as if his eyes could see through the buildings and he was still following the car.
Looking at the passersby, Nina felt uneasy. She wasn't Noah's girlfriend.
"We are brother and sister, not a couple. There is no need for roses, thank you." Noah dismissed the girl.
Nina looked around and saw so many boys giving girls flowers. She asked Noah curiously, "Girls can also give boys flowers, right?"
Noah replied, "You want to get John flowers?"
"Yes, today is a day for lovers, isn't it?" Nina called little girl back and bought a rose from her.
She wanted to give it to John.
She wondered whether John would love it.
She held the flower proudly in her hand and continued walking with a smile. Noah occasionally glanced at Nina, walking beside her.
The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't take his eyes off her.
The streets were packed with people celebrating, and it just so happened that James and Emma were there too.
What was glaringly obvious to James was that Nina held a rose in her hand.
He frantically called John, wanting to spill the beans. He didn't dare tell John that Nina was with another man so he decided to be a little more subtle.
"Uncle John, didn't you celebrate the festival with Aunt Nina today?"
