"Well," Theodore said flatly, "it's alright."
He had long gotten used to things.
It was impossible to not face any pressure managing such a huge company. He was only human; making mistakes and getting exhausted were inevitable.
However, he used to always have Rosalie by his side, and never felt tired because of her.
She would always be waiting for him at home.
Things have changed now, though. The house he returned to every day was empty, with nothing for him to look forward to. He found it exhausting, even without going to work.
Theodore's physical fatigue was nothing compared to his mental fatigue.
"Mr. Spencer, I can tell that you're a responsible man, but no matter what, you need a healthy balance between work and rest. You have to take care of your own body," Aurora said.
Theodore nodded. "I will."
Aurora shifted, looking rather uncomfortable.
Theodore asked, "What's the matter? Do you feel unwell again?"
Aurora smiled awkwardly. "I've been lying on the bed for too long, and my body feels a little stiff. If only I could head out for a stroll…"
"Let the nurse go out for a walk with you. Where is she?" Theodore suggested.
"No need," Aurora said with a wave of her hands. "I told her she should clock out. She'll only come in tomorrow morning. I wanted to give her some time to herself."
Theodore nodded. "That's fine. Why don't I bring you somewhere around the hospital for some fresh air?"
"Really, you will?" Aurora asked, delighted.
"Of course, provided you're willing."
"I am, I am!"
Of course she wanted to go for a walk with Theodore! She wanted it more than anything else in the world.
"Give me a moment. Let me grab a wheelchair here."
With that, Theodore turned to leave.
"I don't actually need a wheelchair," Aurora said. "I can walk. I have a heart problem, not a leg issue. Walking will be beneficial for me."
"Really?" Theodore felt rather uneasy about it.
Aurora pulled open the sheets, got out of bed, and took a few steps. "See? I'm fine. Walking moderately isn't an issue. The doctor gave me the green light to do so."
"Alright then," Theodore said. "Grab a jacket. It's a little chilly outside."
"Jacket?" Aurora forced a smile. "I don't have one."
After arriving at the hospital and changing into the hospital gown, she didn't have her own clothes and no one delivered new ones for her.
Upon hearing Aurora's words, Theodore smiled, "Pardon me. I forgot about it."
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
