This meant that during this time, Marius could only stay put peacefully.
However, he would not be bored since I was also here.
I kept hearing him complain every day, though. "When will this leg of mine get better? I really want to go out and jump around."
I turned to glance at him and smiled softly. "You did it to yourself since you weren’t looking at the path. Let's see if you dare do it again next time?"
"If I could have foreseen this, I definitely wouldn’t have done it." Marius sighed again.
I lost count of the number of times he sighed that day.
Cradling my phone, I read the news. There did not seem to be any news about Grant Corporation for many days. What was the situation now?
Perhaps Marius knew…
Thinking about this, I coughed a few times to get Marius’ attention. He turned to look at me.
He looked at my face, and there was a tinge of caution in his words. "What is it?"
"I wanna ask you for some news. You said the artificial intelligence project between Grant Corporation and Drover isn’t a trivial matter. Why is there only a beginning and no end to this big matter, then? I don’t see any news. What's the situation now?" I asked him.
Lying on the sofa, Marius looked at me with a thoughtful gaze. "You really want to know because you can’t forget your old love, Theo, huh?”
I denied it without thinking and shook my head. "Not at all. I’m just curious about the progress of things. Besides, there was such a huge fuss about it before. It's hard for me not to be curious, okay?"
"Really now?" He still looked like he did not believe it.
I nodded firmly without thinking. "Of course."
"Alright, there’s no harm telling you." Marius sat up.
