Chapter 197
ויל,
Charlie went back to his room and saw Theresa lying in bed. Her jacket and shoes had been taken off. In the wheelchair, he looked at the woman who was curling up on the bed. “You’re sleeping? Her muffled voice came from under the covers. “Yeah, I’m feeling unwell and want to have a rest.” She was indeed feeling uncomfortable. Those bad memories came flooding back. Under the covers, she had a
splitting headache.
Charlie wheeled himself over and looked at the quilt. “How are you feeling?”
“Bad.”
He frowned, propped his hands on the edge of the bed, and lifted the quilt. She was lying there with her eyes
shut and her face crinkled. Charlie had thought that she was upset about Rose’s pregnancy. Now it looked like
she was really ill.
His voice softened all at once. “Should I call a doctor for you?”
“It’s okay.”
Charlie took out his phone to make the call. Before he could dial the number, Theresa grabbed his hand and
said, “I’m fine. You can go ahead with your work.”
“There is no work for me to do.” He couldn’t walk away like that. He was not that dull.
“Then stay with me for a while,” she said.
Charlie was stunned and then felt flattered. He nodded, sat on the side, gazed at her for a while, and asked,
“Are you sure you won’t see a doctor?”
“Yeah, it’s an old problem.” She had been used to it.
