âOnly older people like brightly colored clothes. They think itâs attractive.â
âStop laughing at my fashion sense again!â Oscar roared from the other end of the phone.
Theresaâs words evidently annoyed him.
Theresa smiled, âAll right, Iâll stop now, okay?â
âThatâs more like it. Hurry up and give me the address.â Actually, Oscar wasnât angry at all, he just wanted to lighten the mood and tease Theresa. He knew she was in a bad mood about attending Armand here and he wanted to make her a little happier.
Theresa said the address again.
Oscar answered yes. They said goodbye and hung up.
Theresa turned away and Armand closed his eyes again. He was a little nervous.
Sometimes, instinct was not only for women, but also for men. Armand sensed the crisis.
It wasnât that he didnât believe Theresa, but that he feared she would eventually fall in love with someone else.
In C-town, she always stayed with Oscar. Surely she will develop feelings for him, even if itâs not between men and women. Itâs human nature.
Theresa went to get water and came back to wipe Armandâs face and hands.
Armand wiggled his fingers deliberately. He canât keep pretending. What if he chases Theresa away?
Wouldnât he lose more than gain?
Theresa noticed his finger wiggling and called excitedly, âArmand, Armand.â
Armand didnât respond. Theresa thought he was hallucinating. She watched his fingers carefully. After a while, he was moving again and had deliberately widened his movements.
This time Theresa made sure she saw him and hurried to call the doctor.
The doctor came over and pretended to check on him. Seeing that Armand could wake up whenever he wanted and even look real, he secretly complained that it was a pity that Armand was not an actor.
However, since he was bribed by him, he could only cooperate with the performance.
Theresa stepped back and asked nervously, âIs he about to wake up?â
Armand secretly tugged on the doctorâs sleeve. The doctor immediately said, âThe patient is likely to wake up. His movement shows that he is conscious.â
Theresa nodded and asked, âWhen can he wake up?â
The doctor thought for a moment. âAny minute now.â Theresa nodded with a sigh of relief.
âCall me if thereâs anything,â the doctor said.
Theresa said, âOkay, thanks.â
The doctor felt guilty. âYouâre welcome, itâs my duty.â
When the doctor left, Theresa continued to clean Armandâs face.
She went to pour water and found that Armand had woken up when she returned.
Armand said softly, âTheresa.â
At that moment, he looked like he had just woken up and was weak.
Theresa took his hand. âYouâre awake.â
Armand gave her a look. âWhatâs wrong?â
âYouâve been in a car accident, canât I come? But itâs okay as long as you wake up.â Theresa said hoarsely. She was crying because she was too happy and excited.
Armand looked up and wiped her tears away. âIâm fine, you donât have to cry.â
Theresa didnât speak. She just felt sad. She didnât know why she felt sad either.
Armand felt guilty and put his hand around her. âIâm sorry.â
Theresa shrank into his arms.
She said nothing.
It seemed that no words could express the sorrow she felt.
As for why she felt aggrieved, she wasnât clear on that either.
Just then, there was a knock at the living room door. Theresa wiped her face and went to open the door. It was a delivery man. It could be that it was hot outside and she was sweating all over.
âAre you Miss Gordon?â the guy asked.
Theresa answered yes.
âHereâs your takeout.â He pulled out the lunch boxes one by one.
Theresa took them and thanked him.
The guy outside just smiled and walked away with the insulated delivery bag.
Theresa put the lunch boxes on the table and opened them one by one.
It could be that Oscar feared Theresa had no appetite. The food ordered was relatively light, but there was plenty of it. There were six or seven dishes in all.
Armand deliberately asked, âIs this what you ordered?â Theresa said yes casually and didnât want to explain.
Because if she said it was Oscar who had ordered it, Armand would surely ask if Oscar was in B-town.
If she said no, Armand might ask if he was in City C, why would he order a meal for her if it was so far away.
Armand gave her a look and didnât understand why she wasnât telling the truth. He felt a little nervous. âTheresa.â
Theresa turned around. âYes?â
He grabbed Theresaâs hand. âCome here.â
Theresa put the lunch box down in her hands, walked over and asked quietly, âWhatâs wrong, are you feeling sick?â
Armand shook his head. âNo.â He paused and hugged Theresa. âIâm afraid of losing you.â
Theresa said, âAs long as you live, you wonât lose me.â Armand was still restless and hugged her tightly.
âHave something first, I still have to call Grandma, otherwise sheâs still worried about you.â Theresa tried to get up and didnât dare be too sudden in her movement, afraid to touch her wound.
Armand said, âYou can call and eat later. Right now, I just want to hug you.â
When the car accident happened, it was very dangerous. At that moment, he was also afraid of really dying. Theresaâs face flashed through his mind.
He was afraid he would never see her again.
Theresa lay quietly in his arms.
Armand squeezed her arms. âPromise me you will never leave me again, no matter when, will you promise me?â
Theresa said yes and patiently told him, âOkay, this is the hospital. Itâs bad for people to see us like this. You should eat.â
Armand remembered that she hadnât eaten and let her go.
