Chapter 443

Theo brought out a bottle of ointment from the first aid box and gently applied the ointment to my

ankle." Don't go to work today. You can't go to work like this anyway. I’ll call Mason at around seven

or eight to ask him to come over. Go to work after tomorrow when you can finally walk."

I was about to refuse but Theo looked at me coldly. " Don't refuse."

After he applied the ointment to my ankle, he pulled the blanket over my feet. "Sleep for a while

more. TH wake you up when it's time for breakfast."

I nodded my head and looked at him. "Thank you."

"What did you just say?" Theo's expression changed.

I remembered that he would get angry if I thanked him. I sighed helplessly. "Come closer."

Theo walked toward me with a dull face. "Wanda

Lane, I remember telling you that I hate hearing those two words come out of your mouth. It looks

like you really don't take my words seriously."

I pursed my lips and pulled on his collar with my hand. "The reason I thanked you isn't that we're not

close. It's because I’m grateful that you're taking care o

f me and it makes me feel warm."

As my words fell, I kissed his lips.

Theo was stunned.

I curled my lips and admired his dazed expression. "D o you understand now?"

Theo nodded his head blankly.

I withdrew my hand that was holding his collar. When I was about to lie down, Theo unexpectedly

pressed the back of my head and kissed me.

After the kiss, Theo replied, "If it isn't because I have things to do, I definitely wouldn't let you go."

"..." Thank God he had things to do. Otherwise, I had n o idea what would happen to me.

Theo went to the bathroom to take a shower. I lay back down on the bed but I could not fall asleep. I

took my phone and saw that it was switched off. I had forgotten to charge my phone.

I felt bored and took Theo's phone that he tossed on the bed earlier. I knew his phone's passcode

but I still asked for his permission, "Can I play with your phone?"

Theo's voice was heard from the bathroom. "Go ahead."

I was very satisfied with this as I could use his phone freely.

I opened one of the social media apps to have a look at the recent news when a phone call came

through. It

was a call from Zedd.

I did not plan to answer it at first as I thought of just replying to him with a text message that said

Theo was in the shower. After thinking about it for a while, I answered the call anyway as it might be

something urgent.

As soon as I answered the call, Zedd said anxiously." Brother, I've verified the news. It's true that all

our hospitals didn't charge the medications according to the price we set and patients have died

because of the indiscriminate use of drugs. Now, the family members of the deceased are causing a

scene at most of our hospitals. The media has also received news about it. This matter will soon

make headlines in major media outlets."

My heart tightened. "I'll pass the message to him now."

Zedd cursed in a low voice but I did not hear clearly what he said. All I heard was, "Why are you the

one answering his calls?"

I lowered my eyes and replied to him faintly, "He's taking a shower now. I answered the call

because I was worried that you might have something urgent to say to him. As soon as I answered,

you said so much that I didn't have the chance to tell you. Therefore, you can’t blame me. I’ll tell him

whatever you said earlier. I f there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first."

"Wanda Lane!" Zedd was very angry. "You're really shameless. You should have interrupted me

when I was talking earlier but you didn't do so. You intentionally wanted to hear what I was saying.

You're really problematic."
