Fear struck my heart, and I grabbed Theo's hand tightly.
Theo squinted his eyes, put an arm around my waist, and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
I bit my lip, fear gnawing at me as I left with Theo.
It was not until I got into the car that I let out a sigh of relief.
Theo started up the engine and got ready to drive off. I looked at him and asked, "When are we returning to Whaldorf City?”
He stared ahead and said plainly," Tomorrow.”
After pausing for a moment, he gave me a sideways glance. "What did Milan do to you
when you were overseas?"
I shook my head. "I don’t know why, but Jordan came to find me at that time, so Milan did not hurt me. But he was very cruel to Shannon and the others..."
Theo grabbed my hand tightly, then said in a serious tone, "Don’t ever leave my side again. No matter what, we'll face it together, okay?"
I nodded and smiled. "Okay."
Once I let down my guard, I started feeling sleepy again. I could not help but yawn a few times. "We should hurry and get back to the hotel."
Theo smiled and started the car.
He reached into his pocket with one hand and pulled out a gift, handing it to me.
I was taken aback. "You're giving me a gift?'
Why would he suddenly give me a present?
"Nope.” Theo smiled softly. "This is from Tory Zimmerson. He asked me to apologize on his behalf ."
