Grayson looked at me. Without thinking too much about it, he picked Petra up and walked toward the garage.
Quinn followed them. Looking at their backs, I subconsciously clenched both of my hands.
I was taken into a warm embrace. When I raised my head, I met a pair of starry eyes.
He said, "Don’t worry."
I nodded, but I still felt uneasy about it and ultimately went as well.
After going to the hospital and performing checks, Petra was diagnosed with appendicitis. She needed surgery.
Quinn offered to go back and take care of Munchkin, s o Theo and I stayed in the hospital.
The hospital's corridor was not warm at all. Theo kept holding me tight, sending the warmth of his body to m e.
My eyes hurt because I kept staring at the big red
words that read out 'Operating Theater’. I shifted my gaze and leaned in Theo's arms, closing my eyes.
Theo patted my shoulder and comforted me. "Don’t worry. It's just a minor operation."
I nodded. "I know."
The operating theater's door opened, and the doctor walked out.
