But what difference did it make? Theodore felt nothing for Cynthia-at most, just guilt.
"Theo, I'm not asking to be with you again, but I hope that I can see you often. That's all I want. As long as I know you're alright." "I just want to be alone for a while. Please leave," Theodore replied weakly.
"Can I still visit you?" After a moment of silence, Theodore said, "Maybe in a few days. I just want to be alone now." "Alright, I'll give you sspace to calm down. I'll visit you again. I hope we can still be friends. Oh, by the way..." Cynthia took a small gift box from her bag and placed it on the bedside table. "This is a gift I made for you." "What's this?" Theodore asked.

"I made this for you. Can I put it on you? It'll keep you safe and bring you good health." Theodore was indifferent. "Do you really believe in this kind of thing?" "Theo, whether you believe in it or not, it's still my sincere wish. I spent the whole night making it, and while I was making it, I kept praying for you. Please lethave speace of mind. Letput it on for you. I'm not asking you to wear it forever. I'm just asking you to wear it until you're discharged from the hospital." Seeing Cynthia's tearful face, Theodore sighed and extended his hand to her.
Cynthia finally smiled with joy and put the woven bracelet on his wrist. The bright red color stood out sharply against Theodore's wrist.
"Are you satisfied now? Go hand get srest." Cynthia didn't look good. Theodore could tell she hadn't slept well.
"Then I'll leave now. I'll cback to see you in a few days." With that, Cynthia stood up and left, looking back at him several times before she finally walked away.
Theodore let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and leaned back against the headboard. He clutched his chest.
