Theo suddenly grabbed my arm. I tried to pull it back but could not do it.
"Where’s the ointment?" he asked mildly.
I saw him staring at the part where my hand was scalded and said with a faint smile, "It’s fine. The wound has nearly recovered now."
Theo frowned and took me into the villa.
My bag was placed on the sofa. He walked over to take out the ointment from my bag, applying the ointment to my hand.
He looked up at me. "Does Jordan apply it better than me?"
How could I possibly reply to this question?
When he was done applying the ointment for me, I looked at him and said, "It's getting late. You should go back."
"Are you chasing me away?"
I gently sighed. "Are you planning to stay here, then?"
"Am I not allowed to?" He looked like a scoundrel at this moment.
I was a little speechless now. "Whatever."
Seeing that he did not plan to leave, I ignored him and turned around to go upstairs.
Jordan would come back after sending Shannon home anyway. He could keep staying here if he did not feel awkward.
After going back to my room and washing u p, my stomach was hurting more than before. I felt very weak, so I planned to go straight to bed. 1 completely forgot about Theo.
I fell asleep not long after laying down.
It rained in the middle of the night and I forgot to shut the windows. The cold breeze entered the window and I woke up freezing.
I wrapped myself in the blanket and planned to get out of bed to shut the windows when the splitting sound of thunder boomed in my ears and a flash lit u p the room. I was startled and started breaking out in a cold sweat.
