"The doctor only said that you're recovering well, not that you've recovered," I enunciated each word while still pushing the wheelchair.
"So, I don't need you to take care of me for the time being. Once you're in good health and have no problems at all, then I'll let you push me in a wheelchair."
I walked over to him and held out my hand. I could agree with him not using a wheelchair, but I still could not let him take care of me now.
I had to keep him in my line of sight until we left this hospital.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." The little guy happily took my hand, and we went to the garden.
Naturally, children would not stroll around the garden obediently like adults.
He trotted along the way, peeping here and looking there while I was chasing behind him while shouting, "Slow down!"
However, this was exactly what I wanted.
I did not need Munchkin to start running, but I really wanted to look around the garden carefully and find an exit.
When I was reading the news just now, I had a gut feeling that Theo had not appeared these few days partly because he was angry but also because he could not.
If he could not come, then I should go to him.
I could not go through the hospital’s main gate, but there should be a place for me to leave from among the grass in the garden. I rounded the garden with Munchkin a few times, and sure enough, we were rewarded. There was a bamboo forest behind the bush on the west side of the hospital.
The bamboos were tall and dense, but behind them, I found an abandoned metal door. There was no lock on the metal door but some metal wires that were tightly intertwined.
We could open the small door easily after cutting the metal wires.
Most importantly, there was no surveillance.
A wire-cutting tool was easy to locate. If that did not work, we could also try medical pliers.
After roughly going through the plan in my mind, I secretly made up my mind. I would come and take a look this evening. If there were indeed no issues, I would bring Munchkin and leave this place.
