NovelEnglish"Ms. Lane is an honored guest of Mr. Hodds. She isn't someone you can meet as you like." The man at the door
looked difficult to deal with.
"Unless Mrs. Grant comes out and tells us that herself, how are we supposed to know if you're stopping her from
coming out?"
Looking at Keith's righteous appearance at this moment, | simply thought he was ridiculous.
I knew he had been working with Theo and was his confidant, so he was surely involved in helping Theo to
contact Alex. Perhaps he even knew all the details.
What | found ridiculous was that he even helped Theo by coming over and demanding to see me, looking not
even remotely guilty about it. | was truly impressed. "Mrs. Grant is resting upstairs. It's inconvenient forto
interrupt her. If you want to seek her opinion, then please contact her yourself."
The man standing at the door had his hands behind his back, his expression blank.
| stood in the distance watching everything unfold with a heart as dead as a pool of stagnant water.
| saw Theo's figure from afar yet did not feel a stir in my heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack then, | hoped he would have eyes foralone. Right now, | hoped he would never see me.
A split second later, the phone in my pocket started vibrating. | knew it was
Keith's call without taking a look.
I held my phone, not even wanting to spare a glance at it.
When | saw Keith lowering his head in disappointment and turning to look at Theo, | felt a little nervous.
| was afraid of receiving Theo's calls and worried that he would noticehiding in the small garden.
Fortunately, Theo's gaze did not sweep across the corner where | was. He merely turned around to grab his
phone from the car.
Almost the smoment he straightened his back, my phone started vibrating once more.
| glanced at the non the screen. There was still not a stir in my heart.
'Ms. Lane."
Ronny's voice suddenly rang out behind me.
"Mr. Hodds said that if you don't wish to see them, you can ask our men to ask them to leave."
| understood what he meant. After a long silence, | turned around. "There must be a back door in the hospital,
right?"
Ronny made a gesture of invitation, and | followed him into the hospital from the side door. | did not want to see
what was going on at the entrance nor listen to anyone's explanation.
At this moment, | hoped | had nothing to do with Theo.
Therefore, | chose to turn a blind eye.
As the saying went, out of sight, out of
mind.
When we got to the top floor, | went straight to Munchkin's ward. The nurse had cover for an examination
earlier and said that Munchkin was doing very well. Seeing his even breathing, | knew he was having a good
sleep.
| walked to the window to look out at the night view outside the window. Theo's car remained parked at the same
spot.
Before entering the ward, | had switched my phone to silent. When | picked it up, there were already hundreds of
missed calls from Theo.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs | stared at the screen, my phone rang once more. | was startled but quickly calmed down.
It was still a call from Theo.
| tapped the answer button hesitantly.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?"
| was silent. He probably knew the answer to this question better than | did.
When the other party heard that | did not say a word, he seemed reluctant to debate about it here. "Come
downstairs. Let's go home."
"You go on ahead," | coldly replied. | no longer felt any emotions in front of him.
"It's not what you think it is. I'll explain it to you when we get home." The voice on the other end of the phone
sounded furious.
"There's no need for that." An explanation was not important toanymore.
