NovelEnglishChapter 243 "It's not your fault that you're blind, President Nichols, but it's your fault if you speak without thinking. Don't you dare accuse others without finding out the truth. She had ill intentions first. I was merely protecting my friend!" "I didn't! I was kind enough to visit Miss Shane but Wanda threatenednot to meet Theo ever again. I refused and she got angry, so she pushed me." Cindy's acting skills improved each tshe put on a show. Her pitiful tone of voice, her sad expression, and her tears that cat just the right teven madesuspect if there was something wrong with my memory. 1 Zedd was righteously angry. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, and it was as if he could not wait to skinalive.
I sighed. Oh well, this was not the first tthis happened anyway. I already knew what Cindy wanted to say next. I ignored her and turned to Theo. "Are you done with the paperwork?" He nodded and turned to Zedd. "Is this the tto be arguing? There's no one at the operating room. Go and be on standby there. Callif anything happens." Zedd may be upset, but once Theo gave his orders, he would still listen. Zedd glared spitefully atand pulled Cindy out of the door. When he walked past me, he muttered, "I'll make you pay for this." I did not speak. I watched them leave with no expression on my face.
In other people's eyes, Cindy must seem like an angel who everyone pampered. She had Theo's unconditional understanding, Zedd's blatant, fierce love, and now, a pair of powerful parents.
She was the moon that was worshipped by the stars around her, and she never had to feel powerless. How nice! "Come, sit down." Theo pointed at the stool beside him and looked atapathetically.

That was true,l. He could not leave yet.
In that moment of silence, I started nodding off while I was leaning against the back of the chair. Theo angled my head into his embrace. That was when Zedd called and informed him that Mason was out from surgery.
Theo rushed there, while I waited for Cecilia to wake u p Not long later, Cecilia woke up. Her eyes scanned her surroundings before she asked, "Why am I in the hospital? How is he doing?" She must have lost consciousness right after the incident happened, but I did not expect her to ask about Mason the first moment after waking up. I held her hand and said, "Don't worry, he's fine." Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief, then she remained quiet as she stared at the ceiling. I broke the long moment of silence by asking, "Did you meet to talk about the baby?" She shook her head. "No, he doesn't know about the baby." "Then what did you two talk about?" If they were not talking about the baby, I reckoned they were talking about their relationship.
"Nothing much." Cecilia lowered her gaze, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
It was ultimately between the two of them, so if she did not want to say, I would not ask more. All I could d o was accompany her and talk about unrelated things.
Jercover while we were chatting.
He was covered in sweat, looking like he had run all the way here. After checking Cecilia's wounds, he said in relief, "This shouldn't be a huge problem. I'm relieved. When I got Wanda's call earlier, I was almost frightened to death!" Jerpatted his chest in fear, and I could clearly understand where he was coming from. When I first got the news, I nearly died of fright too.
"Don't worry, I'm still alive." Cecilia smiled as she comforted him. They may squabble every tthey met, but they were full of love for each other during serious moments.

After calming his worried heart, Jerstarted being cheeky again. He looked at Cecilia with a gossipy face and asked, "I heard you were with a man when the incident happened. It was a date, right? Who is he? Do I know him?" Cecilia refused to talk about this, so she snapped." Just a friend I bumped into, so we decided to grab a drink together. Who knew how unlucky we would be?" "Hah, save it. This friend must be really special since you castaside just so you could meet him," Jersaid with smug confidence.
I changed the topic since I saw that Cecilia was reluctant. "Say, you're here to visit a patient, so why didn't ja you bring sfruits or flowers? You really cempty-handed?"
e "It's your fault! You were so vague on the phone, so I thought she was badly hurt. Where could still find the tor mood to get fruits or flowers? I was rushing so I could say my goodbyes." "Tsk tsk, is this what you should be saying right now? Quick, knock on wood!" I hammered his head exasperatedly.
The chaos worked well to distract Jerfrom asking more questions.
When Theo cin, we were still chatting fervently.
