StarNovelChapter 262 When Jernoticed the shift in my gaze, he hurriedly said, "Don't listen to Cecilia, nothing is going on between us. We're just friends, aren't we?" Then, he glared at Xander.
"Yes, just friends!" Xander's eyes were the only part of his face that could be seen, and they seemed less bright than usual as the light in them dimmed.
At the end of the day, these were their private matters. I smiled and changed the topic, saying to Jerome," You cat just the right time. I might be heading to Whaldorf City tonight and won't be able to accompany you any longer. Helptake care of Cecilia these few days if you're not going to leave yet." "Holy sh*t, how dare you! You madecback here, and you're running off now? Then what am I supposed to stay here for?!" Jerome's reaction was a little over the top as he stared at me.
I massaged my temples and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry about all of this. It all happened all of a sudden." When I asked him to return, I had not expected Theo t o want to set out to Whaldorf City so soon.
"Ah, whatever. I won't hold a grudge against you because you're a woman. Is Theo taking you there for a checkup?" He winked at me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI immediately understood what he meant by 'a checkup'.
Worried that he would say something even more shocking, I blushed and hurriedly said, "Your treatment plans have been very effective. We can continue through video calls once I've settled down over there." "Yes, I was thinking the sthing. This is a longterm process, and these issues won't go away in a day. I'm working on curating a plan even more suitable for you. We should be able to start once you return." As expected, he straightened his face and began speaking solemnly once treatment was mentioned.
"I'll be going to Whaldorf City in two days too. I'll contact you when I get there," Xander said from beside me.
I nodded. "Alright, remember to callonce you're there." Being able to meet a good friend in a foreign city was something to be happy about.
Now that I had finished talking to Jerome, I walked back to the bed and tugged on Cecilia's hand as I said," I still don't feel great about leaving you here. Why don't you calong with me?" "Silly, I have arms and legs that still function. What is there to worry about? I'll return to the countryside once you guys leave and visit you when you give birth.
When that tarrives, I'll stay with you and keep you company then, alright?" Cecilia said comfortingly. "Then I'll get Miss Woods to take care of you for these few days." "That works. I get along well with Miss Woods, and the food she prepares tastes amazing. Well, that's settled then. Miss Woods will accompanybefore I return to the countryside." Cecilia got excited when Miss Wood's nwas mentioned.
When Theo returned from making his phone call and saw that everyone was present, he suggested having dinner together.
He rarely paid attention to forming connections and hated social niceties. I was surprised that he had suggested something like that.
"But the two of them are patients. How are they going to get out of her?" I was a little worried about Cecilia and Doctor Lynch. After all, they were hospitalized.
"Mason is a doctor. He will know what to do." When he finished speaking, he went off to look for Mason. Cecilia had long since gotten bored of the hospital and was over the moon to hear she could get out.
Because Doctor Lynch and Cecilia were both still patients, we decided to eat at an Italian restaurant nearby the hospital.
It was a weird dinner party including both Theo's friends and my friends. Although everyone except Jeralready knew each other, there was still something odd about the entire thing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo one explicitly made any seating arrangements for the room, but everyone already knew where they should sit.
Theo pulledto sit next to him, while Cindy dashed over to sit on his other side. Naturally, Zedd sat next to her, while Cecilia immediately sat Επ down next to me. Jerhad wanted to sit next to Cecilia, but Doctor Lynch quietly sidled into the seat beside her. Jershrugged and did not seem to mind as he sat on the opposite side of the table with Xander.
The dishes were soon served. Zedd took good care of Cindy, continuously putting food on her plate for her.
However, Cindy did not spare her plate a single glance, instead trying various ways to put food on Theo's plate, ignoring all of his refusals.
On the other side of the table, Mason's face was pale a s he did not O.I eat anything and merely sat quietly. He had always been someone who did not talk too much, so we did not find his behavior today odd.
His deep-set eyes landed on Cecilia's fork and remained there for a long tbefore he finally said," You're stil hospitalized. Don't eat stuff that's too oily." X
