The next day.
I woke up late, and I saw that no one was home.
Theo and Nicky had both gone to work. I went out after washing up.
I was out to fulfill the promise I made and went to the hospital to accompany Shannon.
In the hospital ward, Shannon and I looked at each other as I ate the grapes on her table. Seeing that she kept staring at me, I handed over the plate. "Would you like one?"
"No thanks."
Nowadays, if Shannon were not eating, she would be sleeping. According to her words, she had become a sponger but a happy one.
She tilted her head and looked at me before letting out a sigh.
I found her sigh highly inexplicable and looked at her. "Why are you sighing at me?"
"I'm thinking about how you, a female elite in the workplace, have been reduced to this." Shannon could not help but be sorry.
She said this in a joking tone, and I was successfully amused by her. Going along with her, I put down the plate and sighed. "Tell me about it. I’ve fallen so low that I can only come to accompany you."
Shannon suddenly smiled and patted me. "Are you dragging me through the mud with you?"
"Alright, alright. I was just kidding. Is Jordan not coming today? Why don't I see him?" I looked out but did not see a single person.
Seeing my surveying appearance, Shannon seemed a little puzzled. "You seem to be looking forward to seeing him today."
I shook my head and denied it. "No, I just think it's weird. I come to see you quite often, but I’ve never seen him. Is he so busy that he just tossed you, a pregnant woman who’s about to give birth soon, here?"
"Jordan has been really busy recently. I think it’s a new project. If he can make progress with it, it’ll run a good trend, so he’s very concerned about it."
