This was already obvious enough. He wanted to wash my feet.

I was reluctant to, of course, so I pressed his hand down and refused. "I'll do it myself."

He pursed his lips, and his gaze was deep. "Your foot injury isn't healed yet and it requires a good massage and ointment after. Washing your feet yourself won't b e convenient."

After saying those words, he put both of my feet, as well as those good-looking hands of his, into the basin.

I looked at the whorl on top of his head, as though I was put in a trance.

Some people seemed destined to be together. It felt as though I could never free myself from his entanglement.

He gently rubbed my ankle and I pursed my lips." You’ve been here for so long. You should go back and take a look at things.”

He raised his eyelids, his gaze deep. "Are you driving me away?"

I did not answer for a very long time. Just as Theo's expression was gradually sinking, I said, "Grand Corporation is really huge now. You've been away

from Whaldorf City for too long and many people must be eager to have you back. I don't want to hold you back from your work.”

Speaking of which, he had been away from Whaldorf City for nearly a month now. I would often catch him having video conferences after coming home from work. His documents came in piles, and there were several times I overheard Keith calling him and asking him when he was coming back as there were many things he needed to solve in person.

I was used to the quietness that the small town of Zenon could offer and wished to live here all the time, but he could not. He did not belong here. He would have to go back one day.

Theo grabbed a towel to wipe my feet. "You don't need to think about this. I can handle it."

I pursed my lips and said no more.

I lay on the bed at night and looked at the stars, thinking about Munchkin's future.

Jerome gave me a call yesterday and spoke about it. Munchkin could not stay in Zenon forever. He needed a better educational environment and a better living environment.

I always found myself having a hard time disagreeing with his statement. I should not be selfish when it came to the child’s education. At my age, it did not matter where I lived, but not Munchkin. He needed a better educational environment to enrich himself.

However, I was reluctant to return to the bustling city.

The more I thought about it, the stuffier my heart became and the less sleepy I felt. I left the room to go t o the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water.

Then, I went to the yard.

I looked up at the starry sky with a dazed look in my eyes. How should I choose?

If there was not an emergency in Whaldorf City which required Theo’s presence, he probably would not have even left.

Before he left, he hugged me and instructed me, "I'll be back once I've handled the problem. Take care of yourself when I'm not around. You and Munchkin should remember to take your meals on time and don’t stay up too late at night."

I nodded. "Be safe on the road."

When the car drove far away, I went upstairs and planned to give Munchkin a shower.

After giving Munchkin a shower, I watched cartoons with him.

I was not interested in kids' shows, so after watching for a while, I grabbed my phone.

As soon as I unlocked my phone, a piece of news popped up on the screen. Its content was particularly striking.

'Grant Hospital overcharges patients, indiscriminate use of drugs led to the death of patients. There is still n o clarification until now.'

My pupils contracted slightly. Why was this matter being reported again?

The reason why this news had not gone out of hand back then was surely because Theo had handled it in private. I did not ask him about the specifics of how h e had handled it.

Now that this matter had been blown up again, could i t be that someone was deliberately trying to mess with Grant Corporation?
