Chapter 1143

Later, Theo drove me back to the village, and everyone else followed from behind.

I had a splitting headache and felt extremely light-headed. I fell asleep not long after I got in the car.

I did not sleep well this time around. In my dreams, I felt warm and cold. I had nightmares after

nightmares. I tried to wake up but could not do so.

In my half-awake state, I thought I saw someone standing beside me. For some reason, I knew it

was Theo. I tried to reach for his hand but could not touch him no matter what.

After making several attempts, I grew

emotionally unstable and cried.

Then, it seemed like he was hugging me and saying things to me. However, I could not hear a thing

at all.

The feeling of not being able to communicate with the outside world was too painful. After several

unsuccessful attempts, I finally gave up.

The blurred sense of dreams and reality gradually made it hard for me to distinguish between the

two.

Unsure how long it had been, I opened my eyes again and saw that I was surrounded b y white. I

was already in the hospital.

I was finally awake this time, but my throat was painfully parched. I shifted my body to get up and

drink water, but I could not get u p after trying for a long time. Apart from the lack of energy in my

body, I felt very sore all over.

"She's awake! Wanda's awake!" Shannon's voice rang out in my ears.

She rushed to the side of the bed and held my hand, saying a little emotionally," You're finally

awake. You don't know how worried sick we've been in the last few days."

I opened my mouth to speak but could not get the words out. I could only glance at the cup at the

side of the bed and signaled to her that I wanted a drink.

Shannon looked at the cup and quickly reached out to take it.

However, someone was quicker than her. Shannon and I looked over and realized that it was Theo.

Shannon gave me an ambiguous smile, then got up and stood on one side. She was clearly making

way for Theo.

Theo sat at the side of the bed and helped m e up from the bed. He then made me lean o n his

shoulder and brought the cup to my lips.

As I was particularly thirsty at the moment, I took a few sips without complaining despite the

discomfort.

Theo did not plan to let me go and continued to embrace me.

He said with concern, "Have a bit more."

I shook my head. "I had enough, thanks."

Theo pursed his lips and said no more. He put the cup at the side of the bed and said t o Shannon,

"We need to get the doctor to check on her.”

Shannon immediately nodded and dashed out of the ward.

I shifted my body to escape from Theo's embrace, but he pressed me down.

He looked at me with a dark gaze and ordered, "Don't move."

I frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "I feel uncomfortable leaning on you like this."

Theo pursed his lips and fell silent for a very long time before laying me down on the bed to rest.
