After promising Frank, Theo took Nina and me to the police station to report our case. Then, the police brought Frank to their village while we went back to the villa.
"Nina, you can stay with me for a few days. You can return to Rosella City after the matter is over."
She nodded. "That's the only way. Can you lend me your phone? I want to call my family. I haven't contacted them for three months. They must be very worried."
"Of course." I gave Nina my phone and then took her to the guest room.
I could not wait to go to the children's room to see the two babies. I had not seen them for a few days. When I got there, I saw that their skin was getting fairer and tenderer. "Caroline has been taking good care of them."
"Yes, I’d been searching for you for the past few days. Caroline was the one taking care of them. It’s all thanks to her," Theo appeared in the room and said softly.
The two babies in the rocking cradle were sleeping soundly. I could not bear to disturb them, so I quietly left the room with Theo.
When passing by the guest room, I heard sobbing from inside. Perhaps Nina was unable to hold back her emotions while talking on the phone with her family. Theo took my shoulders and whispered in my ear. "Let's not disturb her. Let’s go down and sit down."
"Okay."
I had been exhausted these days. It made me feel physically and mentally tired. Leaning on Theo's shoulder gave me a feeling of rest.
He held my hand tightly. He was afraid that I would disappear if he let go.
Theo rested his chin on the top of my head and said, “It looks like I really need to assign bodyguards to follow you all the time so that I can feel at ease."
I looked up at him with a smile on the corners of my mouth. "That's a waste of manpower."
"This has happened twice. I really won’t be able to bear it if it were to happen a third time." His voice was shaking slightly when he said this. It was probably because he really would not be able to bear such a thing again.
"I don't want to go through it again. That’s why I’m telling you to stop being so charming. I’ll always be the one who suffers." I patted his chest jokingly with a smile in my eyes.
