The doctor rushed over and easily pulled out the chicken bone from my throat.
I coughed. After making sure that everything was alright now, I thanked the doctor with a smile. "Thank you, Doc."
"The chicken bone is too small and thin. No wonder it was stuck in your throat. But you need to be careful next time and slow down when you eat and drink. It won't be good if you hurt your throat."
My throat was still hurting. I glanced at the chicken soup on the dining table and rubbed my nose sadly.
This chicken was not to be blamed. I was the one who caused this.
Seeing that I was staring at the chicken soup, Theo raised his eyebrow and laughed. "Still want to drink more of it?"
"Not anymore." I quickly shook my head.
When the doctor left, Theo had things to handle. Meanwhile, I was tired, so I went upstairs to lay down and rest.
Half an hour later, Theo brought a plate of dessert into the bedroom.
When he saw me lying on the bed in a daze, he put the plate on the bedside table and placed his hands on both sides of my head. "Still unhappy?"
I looked at him mildly. "I don't feel like talking."
Theo chuckled as he pulled me up from the bed and into his arms. He then pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out a folder. "Here, it's a gift for you."
I eyed him skeptically and opened the folder.
I scanned the documents and was tremendously astounded.
These were...
"I don't want you to worry that I can't afford to take care of you and the child in the future, so I decided to prove it to you." Theo stroked my hair and said with a smile, "That's everything I have."
I froze for a moment and flipped to a real estate contract. The owner’s name turned out to be mine.
