This man made everything seem so calm and easy.
Seeing the blush on my face, he did not continue further and said, "Zedd is waiting downstairs for me. Get some rest and wait for me to come back!"
He grabbed a jacket and a few things before going out. I planned to follow him and walk him downstairs.
However, he pressed me down on the bed. “Rest, be good!"
Not long after he went downstairs, I heard the sound o f a car engine and the car was driven into the distance.
I lay on the bed, and just as I thought, there was almost no way I could fall asleep. It was especially hard for me to fall asleep when Theo was not around.
I tossed and turned until dawn. Dizzy and sleepy, I felt my world spinning after taking only a few steps.
Miss Woods was tidying up in the kitchen. Seeing how unsteady my steps were, she quickly came over t o support me. "Didn't you sleep last night, Miss Wanda? Why are your dark circles so heavy?
"Also, why do you look so unwell? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
She was so worried that her eyes turned pink. I
quickly comforted her. "I had insomnia last night. It's nothing serious.”
My temples throbbed in pain as I closed my eyes. I sat on the chair and looked at Miss Woods, asking, "Can you pour me a glass of water?”
She quickly nodded and poured me a glass of water. After watching me take a few sips, she continued, "I'll make some oatmeal for you later. Have that and go back to your room to have some rest. If you really can’t stand it, then I'll go to the hospital with you."
My shoulder was extremely sore. I figured it was caused by my lack of rest, so I nodded slightly.
I remembered that I forgot to call Heidi back yesterday. When I recalled it now, I hurriedly took out my phone and called Heidi. The call was answered after just a few beeps.
