Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the couple had a fight. Awkwardness suddenly lingered in the air.
Petra was an expert at livening up atmospheres and managed to resolve the awkwardness in just a few words.
Cassey and Caleb argued for a while before returning t o the hotel.
| asked Petra and Grayson to go back and get srest too, but they insisted on staying back to keep me
company. Seeing that my advice did not work, | simply gave up.
Although there were two beds in the ward plus a folding sofa, it was surely not as comfortable to sleep here as at
home.
Though now that they were here, it was a lot easier for Theo to get up at night when the nurse cto dress his
wound. | also got to sleep more.

| slept extremely well that night, and my complexion improved greatly.
The wound on Theo's arm was gradually healing, and
the doctor said that he was recovering really fast.
When it was almost noon, Cassey and Caleb cover to visit Theo.
Caleb expressed his worry about the airport being crowded in two days due to the festive travel period and that
it would be unsafe for Cassey who was currently pregnant. Hence, he planned to take her back to Whaldorf City.
| persuaded Petra and Grayson to return to Whaldorf City too, but no matter how | persuaded them, they insisted
on staying back to keepcompany. After several failed attempts, | stopped persuading.
| must say that with them around, work was less heavy for me. At least, | was getting better rest every night.
The news that Bernard Lynch had passed away cjust a few days before National Day.
He did not die of illness. It was because many of the industries under the Lynch were being investigated. Many
were found to have violated rules and regulations, hence they were forced to close down. Coupled with Mason's
incident, he grew too agitated and passed out, never to wake up again.
With the youngest son in jail and Bernard's passing, the Lynches sank into chaos.
"The Lynches have taken over South Vasetine for so long. It's tthey tone down," Petra blandly said.
I looked at her. "You know that too."
Petra poureda glass of water. "What do you and Theo plan to do in the future?"
| froze for a moment and was a little puzzled by the question. | figured Theo and | were doing fine at the
moment.
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, she said, "You're 3 0 years old, and it’s not a young age anymore.

She had mentioned this toonce but | did not respond at the time. It was not that | did not want to answer her
but it was because | did not have an answer.
| figured | probably had an answer by now.
Seeing that | did not say anything, she thought | had not figured it out yet and advised me, "I know young people
like you think differently, but everyone wants t o live life peacefully and happily no matter how torturing it can
be. As you grow older, you'd wish to have company, to have children and grandchildren. You raised Munchkin,
and it's not wrong for you to love him, but as a woman, you'll need to have a child o f your own in this lifetor
your life will be incomplete."
| deliberated her words over and over again, not finding them odd at all. After thinking about it, | said," We'll talk
about having a baby when Theo recovers.”
Petra finally smiled. "Okay. While your dad and | are still in good health, we can take care of your baby for you."
| looked at the smile on her face and felt tremendously at ease. | thought that this was pretty good too.
When Theo and | had a child, he would grow up with Munchkin. Theo and | would watch them grow up, and we «
would live happily together as a family. That would be the happiest thing for a person.
