Theo raised his head and glanced at me before lowering his head to look back at the document. He replied flatly, "Of course, it's the same as what you said."
"She didn't say anything else?" I turned around and asked while I removed my makeup with a cotton pad.
He did not even raise his head to look at me. "She also thought it made sense, then she went out."
Theo's reaction was very calm and I could not see the slightest hint of a waver. It seemed that the afternoon's affairs had passed by so calmly like this. Even so, I could not rest assured.
"I'm going to go shower."
Grabbing my pajamas, I went into the bathroom.
"By the way, Nicky told me in the car just now that her parents want to meet her, but she doesn't dare to have them over because of the scar on her face. I was wondering if we could get Dr. Jenny to think of more ways to get Nicky's scar to go away more quickly?" I shouted out loud while taking a shower.
I heard Theo's answer outside after a moment. "We’ll talk when you come out."
I quickly washed up and came out. Theo was leaning against the head of the bed, and I climbed into the bed. "We can talk now."
I stared at him, my expression innocentlooking.
Theo closed the document and turned his gaze to me. He said solemnly, "Removing scars takes time. If we hasten the process hastily, there may be adverse effects."
Hearing this, I lowered my gaze and sighed. "I just hope that Nicky will be able to meet her parents sooner. Although the scar on her face is a little smaller now, looking at it is still very distressing.”
"I understand how you feel. I'll inform Jenny to see if there is any other way." Theo caressed my head, his tone becoming calmer.
I nodded heavily with a rare smile on my face. "Alright!”
The next morning, Jenny came very early to change Nicky's bandages. After changing them, Theo and Jenny chatted for a long time on the balcony. We could not hear their conversation through the door.
