Chapter 1144
The Woman From Hell
Shannon found the doctor very quickly. After a round of checks, the doctor said with a smile, "Her
fever has finally gone down. The patient will start to feel very tired after this, and that's normal. She
just needs to drink more water and take her medicine on time. She can be discharged after resting
for a few more days."
Shannon was over the moon when she heard that. She held the doctorâs arms and said excitedly.
"Thank you, Doctor. You're a savior."
The doctor felt a bit awkward. He then reminded us of a few things to take note of
regarding my diet before fleeing the ward.
Shannon sat on the chair beside the hospital bed and sighed gently, saying," Don't worry, Wanda.
Those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune later on. Wait for your fortune to
arrive."
I tilted my head and asked a little curiously, "Catastrophe?"
Was she referring to my encounter in the woods?
"Did you know how high your fever was?" Shannon looked at me like she was looking at a rare
animal. "Your fever was 104 degrees but your brain still survived! What a miracle it is!â
I had no strength to speak and merely smiled faintly at her.
Theo saw the weary look on my face and said to Shannon, TH be here to take care of her. If you
still have things to do, then you can go ahead.â
How could Shannon not hear that Theo was driving her away? However, she looked at Theo and
deliberately angered him. "I have nothing to do. What's there for me to do? You, Mr. Grant, however,
must be pretty busy, huh?"
Theo frowned, not a hint of a smile on his face. He had already been holding his tongue. Now that
he knew Shannon was deliberately angering him, it made him want to speak even less.
Probably from the medicine I just took, I felt a little drowsy and could not help but close my eyes. As
soon as I did that, I immediately fell asleep.
For the next two days, Theo continued to take care of me in the hospital. He took great care of me
and prepared three meals a day for me without fail. He even accompanied me to the toilet.
I started having mixed feelings about it. On this day, after he came back from a phone call, I looked
at him and said, "Iâve recovered, Theo. If you have things to do, then go and do them. You don't
have to take care of me anymore."
Theo glanced mildly at me. Then, as though he did not hear what I said, he came over and sat
down on the chair. He picked out an apple from the fruit basket and said, "Have an apple."
I was suddenly speechless. After deliberating for a few seconds, I said, "I can be discharged today.
Thank you for taking care of me for the last few days."
The man let out a light hum as though he did not take my words seriously.
After slicing the apple, he looked at me and said, "Munchkin wants to visit you."
I froze, not expecting him to bring up Munchkin so suddenly.
It was already August. The summer holiday was almost over. I had promised to go home during his
summer holiday and bring him out on a trip, but I did not keep m y word.
"How is he doing?" My voice was a little soft as I felt rather guilty.
Theo pursed his lips and said mildly, "He often makes a fuss about wanting to see you. He's only
four, after all. Itâs hard not to miss his mother when heâs been away from you for so long."
I lowered my head and felt a little guilty.
Looking out at the tree outside the window,
I asked somewhat distractedly, "When is he coming over?"
It would be September soon. School started in September. If he wanted to come over, then it would
be in the next few days.
Theo stuffed the apple into my hand and asked calmly, "Don't you plan to go back to Whaldorf City
to see him?"
I subconsciously clasped my hands together and said in a rather flustered tone, "The Fredericks'
project has just begun. My illness has delayed several days of work. I can't leave now."
