Chapter 298

Theo laughed after hearing this and reached out to pinch my face. Stop pretending to look pitiful.”

I snorted but did not say anything else.

The car drove back to the villa, and I was so drowsy that I could no longer open my eyes. Theocarried me upstairs and I fell into a deep sleep the moment my head touched the pillow.

The next morning when I woke up, Theo was not in the bedroom. Thinking that he might have goneout, I tried to replace my phone to call him.

However, I searched for a very long time but still could not replace it. After thinking about it, I figured Imight have left it in the Zimmers' villa.

After washing up and going downstairs, I planned to borrow Miss Zuri's phone. However, I saw MissWoods walking out of the kitchen. I widened my eyes in surprise. "What are you doing here, MissWoods?!"

"Of course it’s because Mr. Grant is worried that I can't take good care of you alone,” Miss Zurireplied first.

"I see your belly is getting much bigger now, Mrs. Grant." Miss Woods walked over with a smile andasked, "Have you checked the gender? Is the baby a boy or a girl?"

At this moment, the smell of chicken soup wafted out of the kitchen. I stroked my belly. "I'm notgoing to check it. This baby will be precious to me regardless if it's a boy or a girl. Are you makingchicken soup in the kitchen? Just the smell of it is making me so hungry!"

Miss Zuri patted her thigh and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll go serve it right now."

She soon came out holding a bowl of chicken soup.

I drank half a bowl and looked at Miss Woods. "What time did Theo go out?"

"Mr. Grant went out at six in the morning. It looked like it was for something urgent.”

I nodded but said no more.

Theo had been very busy lately. He was probably hoping to gain a firm foothold in Whaldorf City assoon as possible and open up the international market.

I knew how ambitious he was, and logically speaking, I should be helping him at this momentinstead of asking him to take the time out to keep me company.

If it were Cindy, would things be easier for Theo?

A deep sense of resentment floated to the surface of m y heart. I picked up the bowl and downed it,disregarding the fact that it was still boiling hot.

"Mrs. Grant!" Miss Woods exclaimed after seeing this.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

I felt a strange object in my throat and put down the bowl, coughing.

"She may be choking on a chicken bone," Miss Zuri said in a panic.

Miss Woods quickly fed me water and patted my back. “How do you feel now, Mrs. Grant?”

I looked up at her, my eyes filled with tears. I pointed a t my throat and shook my head.

Seeing that things were not getting better, she quickly pulled out her phone to call an ambulance.

At this moment, Theo walked into the living room.

When he saw how flustered Miss Woods and Miss Zuri were, he asked with a frown, "What's goingon?"

"Mrs. Grant is choking on a chicken bone," Miss Zuri quickly answered.

Theo's countenance froze. He walked up to me and crouched on the floor. "Open your mouth.”

I opened my mouth obediently. He looked at it for several seconds and then turned to look at MissWoods. "Get the doctor."

"It hurts..." I closed my mouth. My eyes were filled with tears.

"Why did you eat so fast if you knew it'd hurt?" Theo chided. "You’re an adult now yet you're chokingon a chicken bone?"

I felt extremely aggrieved after hearing what he said." All you do is lecture me."

Theo sighed and stroked my face, his tone softening immensely. "Alright, just pay attention nexttime. The doctor is coming, hold on a bit longer."

I pouted and rested my head on his shoulder without a word.
