I did a lot of things today. When I got back to the villa, I immediately collapsed on the sofa.
Even if I was spiritually awake, my body was physically exhausted.
Caroline just happened to be back from grocery shopping. When she saw me lying on the sofa, she trotted all the way over, put down her things, and took a blanket from a shelf to cover me up.
"Why'd you lie down just like this, Madam? Be careful or you might catch a cold."
"I'm alright. It's not that easy to fall ill." Although that was what I said, I still covered myself up with the blanket.
Caroline looked at me and said earnestly, You’re pregnant now, so you should be taking more care of yourself. I'll get cooking now."
"Okay, I got it."
After I responded obediently, Caroline turned around and entered the kitchen.
As for me, I lay still and unknowingly fell asleep right there.
When I opened my eyes again, Theo’s handsome face came into view. "Why are you back already?"
Since I just woke up, my voice was a little hoarse and a little softer. I propped myself up with Theo supporting me. "Lazy little pig, it’s already eight in the evening. Of course, I'm back."
When I looked out, it was already dark.
As I rubbed my eyes, I stood up and asked,"
Have you eaten?"
"No. I'm waiting for you."
We walked to the table together, and Caroline reheated the food again.
"What was the result of seeing Matthew today?”
I knew that Theo would ask. I sighed and replied, "There's no saving him."
It was the truth.
