Chapter 86 Cecilia did not reply to my text. It was three in the morning and she was probably still on the plane! Lying on the bed, my head felt dizzy. I wanted to get a good night's sleep but I just could not. The harder I tried, the more irritable I got; the more irritable I got, the clearer my head was. It all formed a vicious cycle.

I ignored Theo when he cin and pretended to be asleep.

He gently got in bed and embracedfrom behind before quickly falling asleep.

I, on the other hand, did not drift off to sleep until it was almost dawn.

When Cecilia gavea call, I was still very groggy.

"Where are you? I don't care where you are right now, I want you to go to the hospital immediately. I'll buy a ticket hright away." On the other end of the phone, Cecilia sounded nervous.

"I'm okay, don't worry. Go and enjoy yourself with peace of mind. I'll go to the hospital in a while." I sat up from the bed, Theo's warmth from his side of the bed still lingered.

"How can I not be worried? You haven't been yourself lately. I thought your condition would slowly get better. I shouldn't have left." "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself. I have to stay strong for my child. I've already pulled through and I'm just suffering from insomnia now. It's nothing..." I comforted her.

I regretted sending the text to Cecilia and spoiling her vacation mood. However, I was truly upset at the tand she was the only one I could talk to.

"Promisethat you'll go to the hospital immediately. Contactif anything's wrong." After reassuring her over and over again, Cecilia finally agreed to not cback for now.

After I ended the call, I climbed out of bed. Although I was reluctant to go to the hospital, I had to go. It was not just to give Cecilia peace of mind but it was also for the sake of the child in my belly.

I opened my room door and was just about to walk downstairs when a voice from the living room stoppedin my tracks.

"What are you doing here this early in the morning?" It was Theo. His voice sounded a little surprised and displeased.

"Zedd said that you plan to sendabroad, Theowy?" It was Cindy's anxious voice.

"Mm. If you don't wish to shoot movies or participate in variety shows, then you might as well go abroad to further your studies for a period of time. Go there and hone your skills," Theo said in a deep voice.

"No, I'll not go abroad. Please, Theowy, don't letgo abroad alone. I'm scared. I can give up being a star." Cindy's voice was filled with fear as she pleaded with him.

"It's fine if you don't wish to go abroad now and stay i n Salt City. I'll support you in everything you do. But there are two rules you need to follow. Firstly, Wanda i s pregnant so please don't cto my house in the future. If you like villas, I can buy you one." After a pause, he continued, "Also, I'll take responsibility and take care of you to the end. But this doesn't include being in a romantic relationship. I have a family of my own, so you should observe your limits." Theo spoke very slowly, yet every word he said pierced her heart.

Cindy froze, and after a long time, she said in a shrill voice, "Take responsibility? Is this what you mean by taking responsibility, Theowy? You're going to tossaside and leaveto die? This wasn't what you said to my parents when they handedto you."

"I promised them to take care of you until the end but that doesn't mean you can interfere with my life without knowing your limits. Cindy, we're adults now. We should lead our own lives and have relationships of our own," Theo said mercilessly. "Do you love Wanda? No! It's only because she's pregnant with your child and you think you're obligated to take care of her. You don't know what love is at all, Theowy. You won't fall in love with her!" Cindy screamed those words out. She squatted down on the floor and wailed, her entire body trembling.

I nearly lost my balance and reached out to hold the stairway railing. My fingertips slightly turned white because had exerted too much strength. I had to admit that what Cindy said was the truth. After a very long time, Theo said in a slightly exhausted voice, "You should go back first. I still have things to do."

Cindy got up and grabbed Theo's shirt, pleading with him, "I don't want anything, Theowy. I don't want you t o do anything either. Don't driveEn away, just letstay beside you like I always have and I promise that I'll not disturb Wanda anymore. Please, I can't live without you..." X
