Chapter 198


    I tugged on the corner of his shirt and strained to speak, "I don''t want to go to the hospital. I want to


    drink water." My throat was so sore that it was a little hard to speak.


    It would not be good to visit the hospital so frequently when I was pregnant.


    He poured me a ss of warm water, and after taking a few sips, my throat finally felt better.


    However, my whole body was still sore. My head was heavy and aching, feeling like it weighed a


    thousand pounds.


    Theo seemed a little flustered. He fed me a few more sips of water before pulling out his phone to


    call Mason. "She’s having a fever and it''s a little serious. Come here quickly."


    After saying that, he went into the bathroom to grab a wet towel to ce it on my forehead. He then


    wiped m y hands and feet with alcohol wipes. He was sweating all over and did not even realize it.


    With the help of Theo''s cooling methods, I felt much better and fell into deep sleep again. I did not


    know when Mason arrived, but I could hear voices beside m y ear.


    "Why is she suddenly having a fever for no reason?


    She’s really weak at the moment and her baby is growing. You should be extra careful." Like every


    other doctor, Mason med the family member for not being attentive enough.


    After a very long time, Theo''s deep and low voice rang out. "She was in the rain for almost an hour


    until I came home."


    "You fought again?”


    Theo fell silent.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Mason sighed. "I told you that her emotions are unstable. Coupled with all the things that have been


    going on recently, she has been bottling up her feelings without venting them out. I thought things


    would get better after youe back. Why did you fight again?"


    "Let''s talk outside. Let her sleep.” The sound of the door opening followed, and their footsteps grew


    more and more distant.


    My head was still dizzy, and I fell asleep again in a daze.


    When I woke up again, it was already the next morning. My first reaction was to reach out and


    stroke my belly. I felt at ease as soon as I felt the bump.


    There was no one in the room. My throat was dry and bitter, so I got up to pour myself a ss of


    water. Yet who would have thought that my legs were too weak t o support my body and I could not


    help but fall as soon as my feet touched the floor?


    In a panic, I quickly used both hands to grab onto the bedside table to stop myself from falling to the


    floor and hitting my belly. Due to the strength I exerted, the cup on the bedside table crashed to the


    floor, making a crisp and clear sound.


    The sound alerted Theo, who came rushing in with the documents in his hands.


    Seeing me half-kneeling on the floor, he frowned and carried me back to bed. He said in a deep


    voice, "Why didn''t you call me when you woke up?"


    "I thought I could do it myself." It was just a fever. I did not expect myself to be this weak.


    "You’re always acting tough. As a woman, you need to learn how to be protected." He frowned and


    put a pillow behind my back so I could halfy on the bed. H e asked, "What do you need?"


    "Water," I said. My voice was still hoarse.


    He poured me a ss of water and sat by the bed, feeding it to me. I wanted to refuse but seeing


    how displeased he was, I mmed up and drank in silence.


    "I told Miss Woods to prepare some chicken soup for you. Drink someter."


    I nodded without a word.


    After drinking water, I felt much better. I leaned against the bed, my gaze falling on the documents


    Theo had tossed to the floor. It was about the new product release.


    It seemed that Grant Corporation was operating as usual. After putting it on hold for so long, the


    new product release was finally going to be put on the agenda again.


    My gaze dulled and I retracted my gaze, looking ahead in a daze.


    He noticed my behavior and picked up the documents, handing them over to me. "The new product


    release will happen soon. Do you want to take a look at the proposal?"


    Although I was reluctant, I had, after all, left thepany. Hence, I looked away and said


    indifferently, "That''s top secret. I won''t look at it."


    Since I left, I had to let go of everything. Grant Corporation was just an irrelevantpany to me


    now.


    "If you like this job, thene back after you deliver the baby. I am at fault too. I''m sorry." His voice


    was very soft, and his tone sounded sincere.


    I thought he would not mention this incident anymore, yet who would have thought that he was


    actually taking the initiative to talk about it. All of a sudden, I did not know what to say and simply


    zipped my mouth.


    In the face of my silence, he continued, "Mid-Nutri is yours. I n to put thispany to good use


    and it might even have a bright future ahead. However, it’s still yours in the end. If you don''t want to


    go back to


    Grant Corporation, go to Mid-Nutri then."


    I peered up at him and said, "All of this wasn''t just a coincidence, was it? You nned everything,


    right?"
