Tyler helped me with my IV, and we went to Munchkin's room together.
Munchkin had woken up a long time ago, and Theo was talking to him.
Seeing me come, Theo also rushed over to welcome me. "Your body is already like this. Why did you come over?"
"I just want to see Munchkin."
"Mommy."
At Munchkin’s call, I could not wait to get to his side. When I saw his thin and pale face, my heart hurt like it had been tugged at. I was filled with heartache as I touched his face. "How do you feel, Munchkin?"
He grinned innocently, giving me a sense of security. "I'm fine. Mommy. Are you okay?"
"Yes, I’m fine."
After a brief visit to Munchkin, I went back to my ward at Tyler's and Theo's urging.
Since Theo stayed behind to take care of the child, Tyler was the one by my side.
I looked at him. "You can go back and deal with work first if you have to. I’m fine."
"Nothing is more important than you."
This reply warmed my heart. I recalled that Tyler was the one who arrived in the dark room while leading a group before I fainted. I could not help but say, "You were the first to find me."
I just wanted to be sure.
He nodded, then slowly replied, "After your call, I immediately sent someone to investigate Sara’s whereabouts, but her
movements had been erratic recently, so it took some time."
Since Sara wanted to do this, she would have made early preparations. She must have gone to many places before since she knew that it was the only way to delay time.
"How long was I detained by her?" I lowered my eyes and asked softly.
"One day and one night. I’m sorry, I was slow." Tyler’s voice was apologetic.
I looked up, a smile spreading across my lips. "So, it was only a day..."
