I was amused by how fast Munchkin’s expression changed and kissed his forehead, saying with a smile, "You playful little devil."
After eating dinner, Theo and I accompanied Munchkin. We continued to watch TV.
At eight o'clock, seeing that Munchkin was a little drowsy, I brought him back to his room and put him to sleep before going back to my bedroom to take a shower.
I came out and lay on the bed. Feeling a little sleepy, I relented and fell asleep.
I slept till midnight when my phone rang. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Theo had already picked u p the call.
He seemed to have just come from the study as he was still holding documents in his hand.
Seeing that I was awake, he handed the phone to me and said in a low voice, "It’s Susan."
I was stunned for a moment. When I took the phone over to take a look, the time showed that it was already past midnight.
Why was she giving me a call so late at night?
I put the phone to my ear curiously. "Susan, why are you calling me so late at night? Did something happen?"
"Wanda...” Her voice was trembling badly. "I think I’m about to deliver. There's no one around me at the moment. Can you come over and help me?"
My eyes widened and I sprung up from the bed.
As I was too anxious, I nearly fell when I was getting out of bed.
Fortunately, Theo acted fast and shielded me in his arms, saying helplessly, "Be careful.”
I nodded and calmed myself down before saying to Susan on the other end of the phone, "Send me your location. I'll go over immediately."
"Okay." Susan's voice sounded very weak by now.
There was no one around her, so she was definitely not at home.
