Chapter 409

Theo brought me back to Whaldorf City when the injuries on my body were almost completely

healed.

As I had been gone a while, there was a huge backlog o f work waiting for me at the office. Hence, I

worked like a madman and finally got them done after a week.

Tyler called me and told me that Cindy had lost her baby. Her mental state was not doing well and

she was still in the hospital.

After I hung up, I considered it for a moment and called Theo.

He was just done with work, so his tone was breezy." Missed me?"

I ignored him and said faintly, "I want to go for a check -up at the hospital."

"Are you okay?" Theo suddenly became very concerned. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

I responded with a faint hum. "My stomach hurts a little."

Theo immediately said, "I'll come pick you up and we'll go to the hospital right away.”

He came really quickly, and when he saw me, he asked nervously, "When did it start hurting? Does

it

hurt badly?"

I put on my safety belt and shook my head. "It's not very painful, but it's been throbbing for a few

days now."

After hearing what I said, Theo started the car immediately.

When we got to the hospital, the doctor did some checks on me and said that the pain was caused

by m y irregular diet. He gave me some medications. He told me to have my meals and take my

medications o n time. I would be fine if I did that.

After leaving the doctor’s office, Theo and I bumped into Cindy and Petra while we were walking to

the elevator.

I was not surprised since I had messaged Tyler and asked him to inform Cindy that Theo was going

to be a t the gastroenterology department on the fifth floor.

"Theowy..." When Cindy saw Theo, her eyes were immediately red-rimmed. "Why haven't you come

to visit me after so long?"

Theo frowned.

Cindy saw that his face was stoic and he was keeping quiet, so she ran toward him. Just as she

was about to leap into his arms, her legs gave way and she plopped onto the floor.

I knew Theo would not be able to turn a blind eye to that. Lo and behold, he sighed faintly and

helped her u

"Theowy!" Cindy took this opportunity to lie in his embrace as she cried out, "Do you know how I

managed to survive in the past few weeks? I held onto the thought of you. I just wanted to see you

one more time before I died."

"Why are you talking about death, child?!" Petra could not bear to hear her speak like that so she

hastily interrupted Cindy.

"I'm better off dead. What reason do I have to keep living?" Cindy was crying badly. "My baby is

dead and my Theowy doesn’t want me anymore. I will never be able to be happy again, so I might

as well be dead!"

Theo pursed his lips. After a long time, he said, "Your life won't be over just because you lost a

baby. You’ll b e able to find your happiness one day."

What he said were merely empty, meaningless words, but in Cindy's ears, she heard Theo

promising that he would not leave her. 1

"Theowy, I knew you wouldn't leave me and throw me aside.” Cindy grasped his buttoned shirt

tightly as she cried sorrowfully. "Everything was my fault. I shouldn't have been so selfish. I'll be

good from now o n. I won’t cause trouble ever again, so please, don't ignore me, okay?

"I’ll never ever seek trouble with Wanda anymore. I'll treat her like my own sister. Please, Theowy,

will you forgive me? I really know that I’m in the wrong."

After she was done speaking, she began sobbing loudly. After some hesitation, Theo placed his

hand on her back and patted her in an attempt to comfort her.

I snickered coldly and said coldly, "I'll wait for you in the car.”

Theo looked at me. "I'll go down with you."

"No!" Cindy's eyes were bulging out. "Theowy, don't leave, please? Can you stay with me? I'm really

sad about losing the baby."
