Chapter 447

He was cursing me, right?

He was definitely cursing me, right?

Theo helped me get to the couch and had me sit down on it. I looked at Mason. "I vaguely heard

Cecilia's name just now. Do you happen to know what she's up t o recently, Doctor Lynch?"

"Why would you ask me?" Mason shrugged. "How would I know what she's been up to recently?”

Those words made me furious.

Although he had no idea about the child, it was a fact h e once hooked up with Cecilia. After he

learned that I had lost contact with her and had no idea how she was doing recently, why was he

not the slightest bit concerned? He did not even ask me if I had reached out to her or how she was

coping.

I wanted to scold him, but I understood that I was in n o position to do so. I glared at him, looked at

Theo, and said, "Send me back to the bedroom.”

He glanced at Mason and felt that there was something wrong between both of us. He was

confused. He carried me back to the bedroom and asked hesitantly, "What's going on between you

and Mason?"

"The sight of him annoys me," I replied coldly.

U H

I did not return to the office in the next few days. I would lay on the bed all day like a maimed

person. I was only allowed to go out when I could walk on my own without anyone’s help.

Whaldorf City had been snowing in the past two days. Even though the snow was slow to melt, it

did not pile up on the ground. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground. I stood at the

entrance of the villa and played with the snow with my foot. It felt nice.

Upon remembering Jerome saying that he would come with Cecilia at the end of the year, I took out

my phone and called him. I wanted to ask him when he was coming. I could go pick them up at the

airport when I got better.

The call got through in just a moment. I smiled and spoke first, "Jerome, it’s New Year's soon. When

are you bringing Cecilia here?"

Jerome did not reply.

My nose started running. I had no idea why I felt like crying. "I miss you guys. If you guys aren’t

coming soon, I’ll fly there."

"Don't come," Jerome said impatiently, "We’re good here. We initially planned on going back before

the new year, but it's still winter in Whaldorf City and the temperature is too cold. We're worried that

the little one will find it hard to adapt and fall sick, so we've decided to fly back in spring."

I could not lie to myself anymore. With a sniffle, I said, "Jerome, I haven’t said one word to Cecilia

ever since the baby was born. Tell me truthfully, did something happen to her?"

"What are you thinking about?” Jerome sighed a little. "Cecilia is doing fine. She didn't get much

sleep last night because the baby was crying. She's trying to get some sleep now. I'll have her call

you back when she’s awake.”

"Really?" I was still doubtful. I had lost count of how many times Jerome said the same sentence to

me, yet I had never received a call from Cecilia.

"Really." Jerome's voice started to fade. "TH talk to you next time. The baby is almost awake."

"Wait." I was afraid that he might hang up, so I said in a hurry, "Send me your address first. I might

visit you guys soon since I have nothing going on."

Jerome said helplessly, "You’d better not do that. The condition of your body is still not stable. We'll

definitely head over in spring."

I pursed my lips. "Well then, get Cecilia to call me when she's awake."

I ended the call, but the worry in my heart persisted. Since we were living in different cities, there

was no way I could resolve that worry-unless I went to see them.

I opened Whatsapp and sent Jerome a text message.
