( Rose was awake and alone and the door to her ward opened and Dave walked in.)
Rose: (Surprised) What are you doing here? Who told you where I am?
Dave: I heard what happened to you from someone and I decided to check and see if it’s true.
Rose: I know you are the one who sent those thieves to my house.
Dave: Well if you say so, but I came here to see things for myself.
Mrs Juliet: (walking in at that moment and saw Dave) What are you doing here? Do you want to finally kill my daughter since you didn’t succeed in your first attempt?
Dave: Mama calm down, I did not send those thieves to beat up Rose.
Mrs Juliet: Shut up, before I count 1 to 3 you are out of here. 1…..2….. (Dave left the ward) Look at this devil and Rose. (Facing her daughter) Next time he comes here shout at the top of your lungs, who knows if he is here to check whether you are dead or alive.
