The pain in my leg rolled over like waves. Unable to hold myself up anymore, I fell over on the road.
“What's going on?” Theo immediately turned around and ran over to me after hearing my voice. "Why are you so careless?" He was looking at me with worried eyes.
I was a little aggrieved. I lowered my head and remained silent.
Seeming to find me somewhat pitiful, Theo said nothing else, but his hands were still rubbing my red and swollen foot.
“It hurts.” Theo was being a little heavy-handed.
“Bear with it.” He pulled the leg that I tried to retract and rubbed vigorously.
It hurt really bad, but it actually go better after he rubbed it for a while.
“It doesn't hurt too much anymore. You can stop rubbing it now.” I pushed Theo’s hand away. I stood up with a stagger, wanting to leave.
However, my foot hurt again after just taking a few steps.
Seemingly having noticed my discomfort, Theo suddenly carried me. “I'll send you back.”
He was about to carry me to his car and stuff me in when he said that.
The discomfort that I was feeling inside me kept me struggling. Afraid I would get hurt again, Theo could only put me down.
“There’s no need for that,” I answered him coldly but did not dare meet his eyes.
“You can leave first. I’ll get Marius to pick me up.”
Even if I did not want Marius, I could only call him at the moment to cut off Theo’s thoughts.
“Alright. Wait for me there.” Marius did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
Theo was standing beside me and could hear what Marius said. Still, he stood there and did not leave.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” I asked.
