With a cup in hand, Nicky walked toward Theo and said in a soft voice, "President Grant, you'll feel better after a cup of hot tea."
Theo did not say anything. He merely took the cup, drank it, and put it on the table. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. It’s late now. You should rest."
Nicky nodded slightly and walked in my direction. When she saw me, she slowly showed me a smile. "Wanda, President Grant had a bit too much to drink tonight, so I gave him a glass of hot tea.”
She explained to me, and I smiled back at her while shaking my head. “You must be tired from today. Head back to your room and get some sleep. I'll take care of him." "Okay." Nicky did not say anything else and merely gave me another look before going upstairs.
Theo heard our conversation and looked at me. I walked over in small steps and came to his side. He took my hand and brought me closer to him.
Then, he buried his head in my arms and murmured, "I don't feel too good."
I reached out and patted his back. “I’ll get you some water."
Afterward, I moved him away and walked to the dining room. I filled up a big bowl of water and walked out.
When I placed it down, Theo looked at it in bewilderment. "This much?"
"Once you drink all of this up, you'll no longer be drunk," I said.
"Wifey's always right. I'll drink up.
Theo started drinking the big bowl of water, and after a few minutes, he wiped the water off his lips and looked much more awake.
I sat across from him with a gloomy face.
He stared back at me and asked, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy?"
