| did not wait for Cindy to say anything else and hung up the call.
| was not an idiot. Why should | stay on the call and listen to her saying those unpleasant things to me?
Although | was not angry, my mood was inevitably affected. | tossed the phone on the sofa with a blank
expression.
Just as | was about to turn around and go upstairs with Munchkin in my arms, Theo huggedfrom behind.
"My husband?" Theo said in a hoarse voice.
| was stunned. "What's wrong?”
Theo bit my ear. "Say that again."
| pursed my lips. "My husband?"
Theo snorted. "Say it properly."

Did he have nothing better to do?
I did not want to follow his wishes and broke away from his embrace, saying mildly, "Cindy said that she's dying
and she wants you to go visit her at the hospital."
"Didn't you ask her to go to Zedd?" Theo's face was full of smiles. "I don’t want to be the third wheel."
| was quite happy with his answer, hence my expression eased up a lot.
After sitting on the sofa, | placed Munchkin on my lap. "Why did Petra ask her to stay in the hospital?"
Cindy seemed to have completely recovered when | saw her the other day. There was simply no reason for her to
keep staying in the hospital. When Petra said she was sending her to Salt City to recuperate, did she mean
recuperate in the hospital? Why did she not keep her in Whaldorf City's hospital but Salt City's hospital instead?
Theo frowned. "How am | supposed to know that? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? What happens to
them has nothing to do with me."
| rolled my eyes at him. "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
As soon as | said that, Munchkin suddenly started crying.
"Her matters have nothing to do with me. We'll mind our own business and live our own lives." Theo bent down
to look at Munchkin. "He's probably hungry.
Why don’t you feed him first? We'll eat after he's fed."
I nodded.
Theo stood rooted on the spot, having no intention to leave.
| frowned. "I need you to leave."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "I've seen your whole body."
"It's weird to have you stand there staring at me."
Theo snorted. "Why is it weird forto stand here and look at my wife?"
| felt like we were two different beings with no way of communicating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMunchkin was so hungry that he began crying. | could not bring myself to not feed Munchkin, so | bit the bullet
and lifted my shirt. | comforted myself and told myself to get used to it.
Shortly after feeding Munchkin, he fell asleep. | brought him back to his room and asked the nanny to keep an
eye on him before going downstairs to have m y meal.
Halfway through the meal, there was a commotion at the door of the villa.
Theo and | exchanged glances and got up to leave the dining room.
Cindy stood at the villa's gate. There were two female servants standing in her way. After not seeing her for s o
long, she seemed particularly haggard and much thinner now.
"What are you doing here?" Theo walked over and asked with a blank expression.
Tears welled up in Cindy's eyes at once. "I didn’t want t o ceither. | wanted to disappear from your life,
because at least then I'd still remain the woman in your heart who can put a smile on your face whenever you
think of me. But | really don't know what | should do now. | don't know where | should go or how | should live. |
can only ask you to help me." Theo did not speak even after a very long time.
