"Theo Grant!" | turned around abruptly and glared angrily at him.
Munchkin's incident had annoyedenough. | had no tto coax another person.
Though seeing the look on his face, | could not bring myself to be mad at him and could only sigh. "I'll handle
this myself. You don't have to worry. Besides, Chief Royce said that if family members are there, they're not
allowed to interfere with their business. I'll just go and have a look. You can't be of any help if you go, so stay
here and accompany Mom and Dad."
| admitted that | was lying because | simply could not bring myself to tell him that I did not wish to see him. | was
also worried that saying these things would makespend more texplaining to him. | did not want to do
that anymore.
"Why aren't you the one staying back to take care of Mom and Dad, then? Besides, | believe Chief Royce
reminded you that you're in no condition to go with them."

Theo seemed to have found a hold on me. His tone sounded a little angry.
"So what? I'm Munchkin's guardian. | have the right to go."
| started rummaging the closet for my coat.
Chief Royce merely said to keep in touch but did not restrict my freedom.
| had the right to go anywhere | wanted. Even the police officers could not stop me. Surely not Theo either.
Theo sneered behind me. "You're right, but don't forget that you're not his biological mother either."
"What do you mean by that?" | turned around and glared at Theo with unquenchable anger in my eyes.
"Wanda, you're only so concerned because of the relationship Munchkin and | share, isn't it? I'm not his biological
father, but don't ever forget that you're not his biological mother either." He said the first half of the sentence
mockingly, but now, it sounded more like a reminder.
"You're only so concerned and angry now because of my identity, right? If | were related to Munchkin by blood,
do you think you'd excludeto this extent?"
I was stunned.
Theo sounded reasonable. If it were in the past, | certainly would not have doubted his feelings for Munchkin.
| had completely lost the ability to reason.
"I don't know if | know you anymore."
While | was stunned, Theo slowly spoke. After that, he turned around and left the ward.
The door was gently closed behind him without a hint of resentment, but | knew that the more Theo did so, the
more it showed that he was disappointed.
| grabbed my coat and squatted on the floor, never feeling so desperate before.

In less than 24 hours, there was only one thing occupying my mind-find Munchkin.
Excessive worry had blinded my ability to notice the things around me, but this was precisely most
disadvantageous for Munchkin.
After pondering for a moment, | gathered myself and repacked my luggage. When | saw Theo's coat in the closet,
| hesitated for a few seconds before putting it in my luggage in the end. After closing it up, someone outside
knocked on the door.
"I'm your attending nurse, Mrs. Grant. I'm coming in to give you an examination. Is this a convenient time?"
| dragged my luggage to the door without a second thought and pulled the door open straight away. "We're not
doing an examination today. Cancel the rest too. I'm getting discharged." | walked around the young nurse and
planned to leave after saying that.
The young nurse was dumbfounded by my actions and chased afterin a hurry." Mrs. Grant? Mrs. Grant! You
can't leave yet."
After taking less than a few steps, | bumped into Petra and Grayson. "Where are you going, Wanda? Why are you «
wheeling your luggage? What's going on?"
