Chapter 790

I once read a report about him a long time ago and the comments described him as opium poppy,

only to be seen from afar but not touched. It was because once touched, one would not be able to

back out anymore.

He was in a deep sleep, and I did not want to wake him. I pulled my hand away and picked up the

phone o n the bedside table, hoping to use my phone in silence for a while.

Halfway watching videos, I thought of Susan. I did not know how she was doing now.

However, there was probably no news yet. Otherwise, Carlson and Tyler would have told me.

Worried, I planned to give Tyler a call.

I was just about to make the call when an arm encircled itself around my waist.

I looked at the man beside me and saw that he was looking at me with a pair of cold eyes. I let out a

slight smile. "Did I wake you?"

Theo shook his head. "I woke up from my nap."

I thought about it and texted Tyler anyway. When I was done, I put down my phone and turned

around to hug Theo. "Why don't you sleep a little while more?"

Theo hugged me tightly and sighed softly. "Ever since you left, I would often wake up in the middle

of the night and reach out to hold you, only to feel the coldness on my fingertips. My heart would

feel incredibly empty, and I wasn't able to fall asleep anymore after that. I would stay awake till the

sun came up. My mind was full of the memories we once shared when we were together."

I looked down, a slightly sour feeling enveloping my heart.

Theo kissed my forehead, and a smile broke out on his face. "The moment I saw you in Zenon, my

head was full of thoughts about how I wouldn’t let go of you anymore. Even if you'll never accept me

again, I'll continue to pester you because not being able to see you every day is just too painful for

me."

I did not know why he was suddenly telling me these things. Maybe he just had a bad dream.

My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by a hand and it was hurting very badly. I raised my

head and rested it on his chest, saying in a hoarse voice," I'm sorry."

Over the course of three years, I had been healing in Zenon while he was living in agony every

single day i n Whaldorf City.

However, he was not the only one missing me because I was missing him too.

I once saw him in my dreams and also woke up in a daze searching for him.

Once a bond was created between two people, it would not be easily broken.

The media would not easily give up on the scandal involving Grant Corporation and Zimmer

Corporations this time.

It was now up to the two companies to decide how they would handle their public relations to get

through this crisis.

Theo still had a lot of things to handle this afternoon, s o I was in the lounge reading a book by

myself.

When I was tired from reading, I put down the book and picked up my phone. I saw that Tyler had

not replied to my text and could not help but worry.

I walked out of the lounge, and Theo was having a video conference. I walked over to the office

desk and found a piece of white paper. I wrote on it and raised i t for Theo to see.

Theo raised his eyebrows and made a stop gesture at the ongoing video conference. He then

muted himself and looked at me. "Are you very worried about Susan?"

I nodded. "I've been worried for the whole day."

He helplessly smiled. "I'll go over with you tomorrow."

I knew that he was worried about me going out alone, yet I was also aware of the fact that Grant

Corporation was now in a crisis. I should not delay his work.

"I can go by myself right now." I insisted. "I really like Susan, and the child in her womb will be my

niece or nephew, so I have to show them some concern. You know how unreliable Tyler is. What if

he didn't stay in the hospital to watch over Susan and left her there all alone?"

After a pause, I continued, "Don't worry, I’ll wear a face mask and sunglasses. If I keep a low profile,

no one will recognize me."

Unable to win the argument, Theo gently sighed. "Ask the bodyguards to follow you, then. Don't

stay too long in the hospital."

Seeing that he agreed, I was overjoyed and nodded constantly. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen."

I then left Grant Corporation's back door. When I saw two cars full of bodyguards following behind

me, I thought they were too showy.

However, I could not stop them from following me.

Otherwise, Theo would not allow me to go.
