My throat felt much better after drinking water. "You should go home. I can manage."
"I have nothing better to do at home anyway." Heidi put the cup on the bedside table and said with a smile, "It’s better if I stay here and admire my boss’ beautiful face."
I knew she was trying to cheer me up, and I knew I was supposed to go along with her and smile a little, but I just could not bring myself to smile.
Cecilia's death was a huge blow for me...
I felt drowsy again after eating. When the doctor came to check on me, he said that this was because I was psychologically exhausted. This was no big deal, and h e said I should sleep whenever I felt sleepy.
I slept until eight o’clock the next morning.
When Heidi saw that I had woken up, she breathed a long sigh of relief. "I was about to go and give the doctor an earful for being unprofessional if you had kept sleeping, Miss Wanda."
I sat up from the hospital bed. "I'm okay. I feel so much better than yesterday." "That’s good to hear.” Heidi picked up her phone and continued, "I booked you a flight ticket for noon. I'll go downstairs and buy you breakfast. I’ll take you to the airport after that."
"Okay."
The plane took off on time at 12 noon and landed on the tarmac of Whaldorf Airport at four in the afternoon.
I did not call Theo but got Tyler to come pick me up instead.
I was already in a bad mood and was worried that I would get into a fight with Theo again.
After getting into Tyler's car, I leaned back on the seat and shut my eyes in exhaustion.
He noticed my demeanor and teased me. "Did you go back to Salt City to dig a mine?"
I was not in the mood to entertain him.
Tyler chuckled. "Do you want to go and try out gowns o r go to my place and have a rest?"
I opened my eyes to look at him. "Tyler, I'm a little tired of living."
"What nonsense." His countenance changed instantly.
