I was dumbfounded.
It was no wonder I was always destroying clothes!
Theo snorted and said nothing more. He then reached out to take the phone that was on the counter and went out.
I quickly finished up with the washing.
However, this time, I did so very gently...
I did not see Theo after I got out of the bathroom.
While wiping my hair, I walked out of the bedroom and stood at the railing to look downstairs. I saw Theo lying on the couch and Mason standing beside him doing a body check-up.
Mason majored in Western medicine but he knew a thing or two about herbalism.
There were many treatment methods to cure gastric problems. Mason wrote a prescription and gave it to Miss Woods, asking her to find someone to go to a herbalist to get the herbs.
Seeing that I had come downstairs, he said to Theo faintly, "Now that she's back, you should start taking your medicine and stop ruining your body. You’re an adult now, I can't believe you're harming your own health just because you had an argument with your
wife..."
Mason did not finish his sentence because Theo’s gaze could kill and he could not stand it.
Mason packed up his medical kit and planned to leave. I looked at Theo. "I'll see Dr. Lynch off."
He narrowed his eyes but did not say a word.
I followed Mason to the villa’s main door and said, "Dr. Lynch, can we talk if you’re not in a hurry to leave?"
Mason turned around to look at me. "What do you want to talk about?”
I pursed my lips and asked after a very long time," Have you met Cecilia lately?"
Mason frowned. "No.”
I took a deep breath. "She’s gone."
"Gone?" Mason frowned. "What do you mean she’s gone?"
