Timothy’s condition and spirit were much better the next day. There were bound to be some inconveniences staying at the hospital. I still thought that I would be better able to care for him at home.
“Baby, we can finally leave the hospital today. Mommy will take good care of you when we go home. If you don’t feel well, you must show me, alright?”
It was difficult for me to have a whole day’s worth of free time to accompany him and give him enough care and companionship when I was busy with work in the past. I was really appreciative of this hard-won opportunity to spend time with him.
My mood became brighter when I heard his squeaking laughter. “Goody boy. Mommy will take you home now.”
Although Theo could not stay with me because he had some company matters, he had instructed his subordinates to give him a detailed report of my situation.
Despite his wanting to take on the responsibility of being a husband and father now, he knew that I could not get along with him like before. It was like how when a crack had formed, it could not be completely fixed. The only thing we could do now was to silently respect each other's space.
When the car reached the gate of the main house, Caroline was already waiting anxiously. The tense expression on her face was immediately relieved when Timothy and I appeared in front of her safe and sound.
"Madam, why did you and the young master leave the hospital so soon? Why didn’t you stay a few more days to make sure all’s well?"
I passed the doctor's instructions on to Caroline. She then began working in the kitchen, cooking up many delicious dishes with the various nourishing ingredients that she had already prepared earlier.
We had no such treatment at the hospital, and Timothy fell asleep peacefully after eating.
Caroline finally expressed the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in her heart the past few days when we were left alone. "Madam, just what is the sir thinking to actually allow that woman to live here?
