I nodded and said in an apologetic tone, "I was supposed to send food to you but got caught up with things and forgot. Have you eaten?”
She sighed. "Petra is ill. It's no big deal whether I've eaten or not. Besides, there are caretakers at home, so I won't starve. Just focus on taking care of Petra."
Susan did not quite understand what was going on between Petra and me, hence it was normal for her to say that.
I helplessly smiled and changed the subject. "Is Tyler a t home?"
Perhaps the question was so sensitive that she remained silent for a while before saying, "He’s probably still working in the company."
I guessed Tyler very rarely visited the mother and son.
I said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll visit you and the baby another day."
I hung up after saying that and planned to give Tyler a call.
At this moment, Theo held my hand and said tenderly, "It's New Year's Day. Don’t think about unhappy things."
I looked up at him. "It says in the book that if a man
loves someone, he’ll clamber to her side no matter what, but why is this not what I see?”
Tyler was not disinterested in Susan. After years and years of companionship, even mountains would be moved. I guarantee that he would not be able to accept it one day when Susan was no longer around. After all, habits were terrifying.
However, if he actually cared about her, why did he have to be so cold to Susan when she was at her most vulnerable?
Psychological damages were far more painful than physical damages.
Theo turned the steering wheel and looked sideways a t me. "There are ghosts, gods, and other realms in books but are they found in reality?"
I shook my head.
