Chapter 121
Since she had had the kids, she dared not let herself get sick, because she had to take care of the two children. If
she fell ill, there was no one to look after them. Sometimes when she got sick, she would find some medicine,
take it and sleep. Never had she been looked after like this. At this moment, seeing Charlie’s concerned eyes,
perhaps more vulnerable than usual due to illness, she had a warm feeling in her heart. She bit her lower lip
and whispered, “You can go about your business. I’ll be here by myself.”
“I’m done.”
Theresa couldn’t believe it, “Are you very idle?”
Charlie glanced at her and didn’t agree with her. “Because you are sick, I specially stay to look after you. Why
am lidle?”

Charlie sat in the wheelchair and looked at Theresa with a complicated expression. Theresa was a little
uncomfortable and said, “Really, you can go about your business!”
However, Charlie did not leave. After a while, Brenda brought the food up. As soon as she appeared at the door
with the lunch, Theresa frowned. The feeling of greasiness came over and made her feel sick. She hadn’t had
such a bad cold in the past that she still could have a good meal after taking some medicine. But today she had
no appetite at all.
Charlie didn’t miss her subtle reaction and said to Brenda, “Give her something light.”
“OK.” Brenda went to change a bowl of porridge, a bowl of soup and some simple dishes soon. It looked much
better this time.
Charlie then told Theresa, “Just eat.”
“Don’t you eat?” She asked.
“I’m not hungry yet. I’ll wait when you’re finished.”
Theresa sat and watched Charlie. She could see that he was here to take care of her out of guilt. She was unable
to drive him away, so she let him go.
Seeing Theresa have eaten all, Charlie asked, “Do you want any more?”
“No. You should go to have a meal, too!” It was twelve o’clock. “Go to work after meal! I’ll go home after a
rest.”

Leonard and Ben finished class at 3:40 p.m., and she was about to go there a little earlier to pick them. first

Charlie listened to her and went out in the wheelchair. Theresa set the alarm on her mobile phone, and planned. to

heavily and dreamed about some past events when she and Jimmy had not divorced yet. Jimmy had forced her to
abort the baby but she hadn’t wanted to, then they had divorced… For years, these events had been
recurring in her dreams like nightmares.
Charlie sat and watched her lying on the bed, frowning and her lips trembling. She did not look well because of
her illness and seemed to be more haggard than usual. Her hair was wet with sweat and looked a little pathetic.
Perhaps she was dreaming of something, she seemed scared. He reached out and took her hand, trying to calm
her down.
Jonathan was also there. He stood and watched Charlie take care of Theresa. He had never seen him look after
others, it was always others who attended to him. Now, seeing that he was so concerned about a woman,
something bold came to Jonathan’s mind. ‘Won’t Master Charlie really like Mrs. Cameron?’ Perhaps because
of his admiration for Charlie, Jonathan was under the impression that the women Charlie liked should be very
excellent to match him. Jonathan couldn’t imagine that Charlie liked Theresa. After all, in his opinion, Theresa
had nothing to match Master Charlie.
