After the nurse left, I sat there, staring into space as a warmth rose from within my heart. It looked like he cared more about me than he showed and was not as cold as he portrayed.
Theo walked in after he was done with his phone call.
I recalled what the doctor had said and snickered.
"How audacious of you to laugh! If not for you, would I have been publicly reprimanded like that?" He lifted his fingers and flicked me on my forehead.
"Ouch... It hurts," I covered my forehead and cried out i n exaggeration. 1
He ignored me, looking intently at the drip bottle.
"I'm hungry, Theo," I tugged on his sleeves as I said in a pitiful voice.
"What do you feel like eating? I'll buy it for you." He proceeded to get up, ready to go out the door.
"I wanna eat your cooking. Let’s go home, please?” I actually just wanted to go home. I really disliked staying in the hospital. Since the doctor had said that my baby was okay, I would rather rest at home.
Theo frowned. "No, the doctors said you’d have to stay i n the hospital for another night for observation. I’ll go get you whatever you want. You lie down like a good
girl, and I'll be right back.” "My belly feels weird. I only want your cooking. More importantly, the baby wants it too." I pointed at my belly stubbornly.
Humans were like this-once a long-time desire of one's is met, one will only grow greedier, beginning to desire more.
Theo frowned, looking like he was deep in thought. He turned to me and said, "Wait here for a while,” and left before I could reply to him.
I was a little unhappy, so I laid down on my bed once more.
Not too long after that, a few nurses came through the door and told me that I would be switching to a different ward.
"Why do I have to change wards out of the blue?” I panicked a little.
"I asked for the change.” Theo's voice rang out from the doorway. "You said you wanted to eat my cooking, right? We can make some food in the VIP room.”
Well...
