"Drink some water." Theodore took a glass of water and gave it to Josephine. His attitude was not so good. He wasn't very cold to her, but he wasn't passionate either.
"Thank you, Theodore."
Theodore also looked at the house he rented for Josephine. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"
Josephine bit her lip and nodded gently, "Well, it doesn't matter. Maybe I just got a little stimulation. I'll just take a break. And it will be fine."
It was not easy for her to have a chance to spend time alone with him. How could she want to go to the hospital?
"Theodore, in fact..." She looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You still care about me and our child, don't you? I know you won't ignore us, will you?"
Theodore did not answer, but said blandly, "I'll go first."
"Don't!" When Josephine heard this, she said in a hurry, "My mother went back to my grandmother's home today. If my belly hurts later, I am afraid... I am at home alone..."
"..." Theodore frowned and said nothing.
Josephine glanced at the moist machine beside the sofa, which was constantly steaming with water vapor. Then she said softly to Theodore, "Or, can you accompany with me for a while? I'm much better now. Can you leave a little later?"
Looking at her careful and expectant look, Theodore felt a little sorry for her. In the past, Josephine was beautiful and smart, and she was always like a noble queen. When had he ever seen her like this?
Then he thought about what Elizabeth had said to him in the cafe just now... After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.
Seeing this, Josephine laughed heartily, but her eyes were full of tears.
She choked and said, "Then... sit down. I'll turn on the TV for you."
In the living room, there was only the small voice from the TV. On the long sofa, they sat far apart and didn't speak for a while. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After sitting for about half an hour, Josephine said to Theodore, "Theodore... I feel much better now."
Theodore, who had already lost his patience, immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go first."
"..." Josephine bit her lip and looked at him dazedly. She did not say anything.
When she saw Theodore approaching the door and was about to open it, Josephine suddenly stood up and trotted up, hugging Theodore from behind.
"Theodore..."
"Don't leave me please!" Josephine said and put her face on his back, "I really miss you."
Theodore looked at her hands, which were on his waist, and said coldly, "Let go of me!"
Josephine didn't let go of him, but hugged him tighter.
"Josephine... I said let go!"
Josephine loosened some of her strength, but she did not leave him. She came in front of him very quickly and looked up at him pitifully. She looked at him with great longing, "Stay with me. Okay?"
