Grace woke up after a while, but by then, it was already nighttime.
"What happened to me?" she asked, struggling to lift herself up.
Rose gently helped her into a sitting position and said, "You suddenly collapsed. You've been out for hours."
"I'm sorry," Grace said with a faint smile, "I must have been exhausted from taking care of Hana."
Rose remained silent for a moment before asking, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Grace seemed to understand what Rose was getting at but played dumb. "What are you talking about?"
Rose rolled up her sleeve to reveal a bruise. "Why didn't you tell me about the bastard who did this to you?" Rose's voice was a low growl, full of unrestrained fury. It was the kind of anger you didn't want anyone to witness. But Rose let it all out.
