Chapter 916
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.
I asked Petra and Grayson to go back and get some rest too, but they insisted on staying back to
keep mepany. Seeing that my advice did not work, I simply gave up.
Although there were two beds in the ward plus a folding sofa, it was surely not asfortable 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 came
to dress his wound. I also got to sleep more.
The next morning, Grayson and Petra returned to the hotel.
I slept extremely well that night, and myplexion 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 came over 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 nned to
take her back to Whaldorf City.
I persuaded Petra and Grayson to return to Whaldorf City too, but no matter how I persuaded them,
they insisted on staying back to keep mepany. After several failed attempts, I stopped
persuading.
I must say that with them around, work was less heavy for me. At least, I was getting better rest
every night.
The news that Bernard Lynch had passed away came just 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 vited rules and regtions, 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 time they tone down," Petra ndly
said.
I looked at her. "You know that too."
Petra poured me a ss of water. "What do you and Theo n to do in the future?"
I froze for a moment and was a little puzzled by the question. I figured Theo and I 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.
Munchkin isn''t your biological son, after all. Have you thought about getting one of your own?"
She had mentioned this to me once but I did not respond at the time. It was not that I did not want to
answer her but it was because I did not have an answer.
I figured I probably had an answer by now.
Seeing that I did not say anything, she thought I 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 havepany, 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 lifetime or your life will be iplete."
I deliberated her words over and over again, not finding them odd at all. After thinking about it, I
said," We''ll talk about having a baby when Theo recovers.”
Petra finally smiled. "Okay. While your dad and I are still in good health, we can take care of your
baby for you."
I looked at the smile on her face and felt tremendously at ease. I thought that this was pretty good
too.
When Theo and I had a child, he would grow up with Munchkin. Theo and I would watch them grow
up, and we would live happily together as a family. That would be the happiest thing for a person.
