Armand’s body stiffened abruptly as if he didn’t expect to meet Theresa suddenly. He almost wanted to let go of Phoebe by instinct. However, at the moment he lost his hold, Phoebe grabbed him and pretended to be in pain in her legs on purpose. She appeared to be on the verge of collapsing if she didn’t hold Armand.
Armand didn’t move anymore, and he didn’t push Phoebe away either. At this moment, Armand also wanted to see whether Theresa would become enraged because he was with Phoebe.
Although Theresa didn’t avoid him and visited Mrs. Leslie on occasion, her attitude towards him was very cold to the point where he felt that Theresa had no feelings for him.
Phoebe happened to be by his side at the time. So, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to test Theresa’s attitude towards him. If she was upset, it meant she cared about him.
Phoebe sneaked a glance at Armand. She didn’t expect that he didn’t push her away. She was happy in her heart but pretended to look sad, “Miss Theresa, don’t get me wrong. My leg is injured, and I’m unable to walk. So, Armand accompanied me to the hospital…”
“I don’t get anything wrong.”
Theresa’s hand, which was holding the prescription list, was clenched tightly. The nails pierced the paper and were embedded in the flesh of her palm. She could only keep her head clear if she were in enough pain.
She smiled lightly and peacefully, “I had nothing to do with Mr.… Armand now. It’s his freedom to be with whoever he wants to.”
Armand pursed his lips tightly and tensed his muscles throughout his body. He was overwhelmed with emotion in his heart and was unable to calm down. He seemed to be unable to accept Theresa’s serenity.
The calmer Theresa was, that meant the less she cared about him.
Phoebe was overjoyed in her heart.
But she didn’t dare to show it on her face. After all, she couldn’t quite understand Armand’s reaction right now. Was it that he had given up on Theresa, or was it something else?
She had to catch Armand this time.
Armand, who was repressing the disappointment and pain in his heart, didn’t say anything. He held Phoebe’s waist, “Let’s go.”
Armand shouldered Theresa when he walked right past her, not sure if he was intentional or unintentional.
Theresa had vomited so badly that she was out of energy. Armand’s shoulder charge nearly knocked her to the ground. Fortunately, there was a window on her side. She didn’t fall because she supported her body with her hands.
She slowly squatted down her body and covered her chest with her hands. She wished to conceal the sadness that was bursting from her chest.
Theresa’s only feeling was pain as if someone had dug a hole in her heart. The blood was flowing out unstoppably.
She was not sure if she would die because all of her blood had flown out and dried up.
Not sure if her emotions were too agitated, her stomach churned violently again. She covered her mouth with her hand and dashed to the restroom.
Outside of the hospital, Armand escorted Phoebe onto a taxi, “You go back first.”
Phoebe wanted to grab him, but she wasn’t brave enough to do so. She was afraid that Armand would be disgusted by her eagerness, despite Armand’s good impression of her that she had created with a lot of effort.
“You still have something to deal with, right?” Phoebe beat about the bush.
Armand hummed lightly. He didn’t want to say anything else and shut the door of the car. Phoebe was a bit flustered. Obviously, Armand didn’t want to go because he wanted to go back to find Theresa.
Phoebe lowered the car window immediately, “You want to explain to Theresa, right? Do you want me to help you in explaining it clearly to her? After all, nothing happened between the two of us.”
Armand was a bit impatient, “No need.”
He let the driver drive the car after he finished speaking.
Armand turned around and walked into the lounge after seeing the car sped away. Armand walked to the corridor where he had just met Theresa. However, Theresa was nowhere to be found in the corridor. He frowned and turned to walk towards the lounge. The lounge was bustled with people, but he couldn’t find Theresa.
