Cruel World novel Chapter 27

Theo

He was still shocked as hell. Sarah is helping to heal him ...but why...even if he is nice to him nowadays it doesn't mean that she forget those days when he used to beat the hell out of her, starve her, scarred her whole body...insult her and recently slap her and investigate her like a criminal...what this woman wants....she is the women who kidnapped her sister...reason behind his sister death ...and after Theo has put her through so much misery she still wants to take care of him...what she is playing at.

When Theo was settled down in his room...Tom was with him and he was confused too 'Theo ...what's the game of your wife she is playing now?'

'The hell I know ' Theo scratch his head

Tom shakes his head 'It's was so unexpected... I mean two things that I can imagine, first you're being nice to her makes her fall for you or something that we call Stockholm syndrome or second she is really playing a game '

Theo looked at disgust 'Stockholm syndrome? Really, dude, are you reading that fantasy drama shit....and I, do not that heck is happening here..I'm more worried about that gala thing ...it was so important for the company and I made the commitment to them I can't go back to my words now'

Tom replied 'Theo you're getting frustrated...I'm hoping you will be fine before that ..you still have like 3 weeks ... so chill'

Then they both heard the room door to be open...it was Sarah who was holding a cup of medicated Tea and breakfast with a newspaper.Tom looks her in a suspicious way...which makes Sarah uncomfortable...Theo looked at both of them and raised his eyebrow

Sarah softly said 'I brought your breakfast'

Tom said in a whisper but sarcastic tone 'Yeah we can see that' but both Sarah and Theo heard that. Sarah looks embarrassed and Theo glare at his brother

Sarah brought the foldable table and placed on Theo lab and then put his breakfast. Theo was looking at her...to found a moment in her eyes where he can see if she is enjoying Theo helpless situation as he can't properly eat through his fractured hand but he found non.

Sarah stand awkwardly and said to Tom 'Mr grey told me that you have the all medical report and medicine description...if you can give me that I will arrange it accordingly'

Tom eye bulge out in surprise and arrogance he gives her the file which contains everything 'It's written which medicine to give and when but if you can't understand those simple medical terms don't you dare to use that improperly on my brother..ask me immediately or Theo he will guide you' Tom said rudely

Theo fell in an anger but don't know he felt about him or his brother...Sarah node 'Of course I will ask..but I did my major in psychology where some of the medical terms were taught to us...but if I'm unsure I will ask you ' Sarah said softly but confidently...Theo felt his lips to twitch, he like this side of his wife...Tom stun but angry too 'Theo I will see you later'

Sarah then open the file and read and took out this medicine.. 'What is this' Theo looked at strange looking Tea

Sarah relied 'it's a medicated fruit tea. It's very good in vitamins and energy, when I got a fracture on my leg ...my mom used to give me this..It's very soothing and good for healing'

Theo looks away. Why she is helping him...he used his right hand to eat but since the whole movement disturb and pain the left arm which was effected make him awkward to eat...he cursed

Sarah holds the tray to steady it and then said 'Are you in pain... I can help you with this...it's better that you don't move now..it's fresh'

Theo get irritated because of pain and his helpless situation 'I don't fucking need your help to eat my food....don't think now you have the upper hand and you can enjoy my misery ...I'm still the one who controls you' he yelled

Sarah flinched and Theo saw the hurt in her eyes like she remembers something.

Theo felt bad but don't show it when he heard Sarah voice 'I know..Sir, I never forget my place...and I'm not enjoying the situation you are in...I just want to do what's required of me...you still have the upper hand and if you tell me now to do something I will do it... I know you don't like me but plz sir you have to eat then this thing will remove let me help you' Sarah said this all looking downward

Theo scroll his eyebrows and was little touched after all the time he strives her and did horrible things she wants to help him ...oh god this girl is messing his mind..but Theo said 'Ok but I can hold the cup.I don't want to treat like a kid'

Sarah smiled and Theo was mesmerized with that sight...he never saw Sarah smiling at him...well he never give her a reason.But she is so fucking beautiful that it knocks the wind out of him...wish he can tell that...but Theo body tense when he realized what the hell he is thinking like that about Sarah

Sarah the hold the piece of food and feed him after helping him holding his teacup and she heard Ava crying sound. She went to check her.Theo took a sip of tea and Sarah was right it was so light and refreshing...he felt a headache to be little less now.

Sarah brings Ava who was now active and changed into an onesie and had a pacifier on her mouth who she was sucking so adorably that Theo felt his heart to feel differently when he saw Ava.

Since his room was quite big as it is almost equal to 3 bedroom, he saw how Sarah place her daughter in the middle of the carpet and covered her with a cushion around her and then put some selective toys that he has been seeing since Ava is born and Ava pick on the toy and giggle 'yoo eu eu' ...did Ava don't have new toys? They look so old and used one...he felt guilty that he earns in billion and he never took care of Ava things...but then why should he, he try to make understand himself.

Sarah took the tray and placed it on table and give him his medicine and when she saw he was looking at Ava Sarah become scared 'Oh I'm sorry...she usually spends her time here on that spot. I didn't realize you are resting. I will take her to her crib she can play there

But Theo stop her 'No need..if she is quite like that then I'm ok'

Sarah just awkwardly node

Sarah

'Ava don't.. leave it ...don't eat your toys come on eat this and be quite a daddy is sleeping' Sarah was trying to make Ava eat her baby food but she was more focused on her toys

She feeds Ava and then decides to give her milk she will be less fussy. Sarah sits down in one of the recliner chairs and looked at Theo who has been sleeping after taking his medicine.

She still don't why she is doing this.Why he makes her feel like that..even she wants to be happy she can't be...but it hurts her....oh god she is really a drumhead and fool...she looked at Ava who was attached to her breast and was looking at her with sleepy eyes...she smiled at her maybe things changed...he might not change all together but now they had a child she has to take care of Ava father...he made the first step towards moving on..then maybe she can too...oh this is so confusing what's happening to her

Sarah was softly singing to her daughter who was sleep completely when she looks up she saw Theo was looking at her weirdly like he is seeing someone else...Sarah blushed for no reason and then she said 'Do you need something' She stands while holding sleepy Ava

Theo looks away and said in a heavy voice 'no I'm fine'.....Sarah said ok then she gone to drop her sleepy daughter.

When she comes back she saw Theo trying to get up from the bed but looked very tired ...she runs towards him and said 'Let me...just don't put pressure on the left arm'

The shakes his head 'I need to go to the washroom'

Sarah hold his good arm and let him stand 'Then I can help...oh god you have a fever' Sarah felt when she touches his arm

Theo shrugs 'it's nothing..it's doesn't affect me that much'

Sarah thought this man ego is in cloud seven...why can't he drop his attitude

Theo walked towards the washroom and Sarah walk with him...Theo gets angry 'I sure as hell can pee...are you so desperate to see my dick'

Sarah felt some slap her they way he said it in a crude and disgusting way... Sarah felts those stupid unwanted tears

Theo opens his mouth but then closed it...Sarah sit down in one of the chair and wipe those tears...he will never change...it's all temporary...

He will hurt you again ...that's what Sarah's brain is telling her but her heart was telling her he is sick that's why he is cranky, give him some time.

When Theo come back after five minutes Sarah bring his lunch and put it in front of him. Theo sit in the reclining chair and have his lunch with help of Sarah but Sarah was not looking at him all the time she was looking down ...it makes Theo feel angry ...he wanted to see her.

Sarah then gives him orange juice and medicine 'These are the pain medicine which might help you to reduce the fever but they will last for hardly 3 days. I might have to tell Tom to got that for you as he knows better..'
