Chapter 827

Susan sighed softly. "The spectator sees more of the game. Mr. Grant has been getting so manycalls and didn't answer any of them but you didn't even ask him anything. You must be fighting."

Was this considered fighting?

I shook my head. "I don't know if we’re fighting or not, but we’re both somewhat uncomfortable witheach other right now."

Susan helplessly smiled and said no more.

After talking to Susan for a while more, Theo and I said our goodbyes after seeing that it wasgetting late.

After getting into the car and buckling up our seatbelts, I said, "Let's go to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital?" Theo frowned. "Are you feeling unwell?"

I pursed my lips. "We'll go and get the procedure reversed."

Delaying it for too long would not be good for him. As long as he did not reverse the procedure, Iwould keep thinking about it.

He was a little stunned but did not say much about it and drove to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, Theo learned that I had made an appointment beforehand.

He looked conflicted but did not say anything to me.

When he entered the operating theater, Keith gave him a call.

I was not supposed to answer his call without his permission, but because Keith had called toomany times, I was worried that it was about an urgent matter. Hence, I answered it.

Before I could say anything, Keith said first, "Mr. Grant, someone is already investigating ZimmerCorporations. If everything goes according to plan, Zimmer Corporations will be temporarily closedfor a period of time. Do you still think it is necessary to release the video of Mr. Zimmer’s mother tothe media?"

I frowned. "What video?"

"Mrs. Grant?" Keith was a little shocked. He probably did not expect me to be the one to answer thephone.

"What video?" I repeated.

Keith fell silent for a long time. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Grant."

I understood if he could not tell me, but there were things that I must say to him. "He's not able tocome to the phone for a while, that's why I’m answering it."

After a pause, I continued, "Keith, I’m in no position to interfere with Theo and Matthew’s battle. Butyou've been with Theo for so many years and have a say when it comes to work. You know whatthe repercussions are if he drives Zimmer Corporations to the edge. Abolishing a business is tabooamong businessmen. He didn't rely on his own abilities to achieve what he has achieved inWhaldorf City today. There's also the approval of the presidents from various industries."

It was normal to have arguments in the business world, but everybody knew that being too ruthlesswould raise concerns with one's allies for fear that they would be treated the same way one day.Hence, n o one was brave enough to destroy one another.

Keith fell silent for a moment and said, "Thanks for the reminder, Mrs. Grant."

After hanging up the phone, I sat on the chair in the corridor in a daze.

Theo's anger began during Cassey's wedding banquet. What exactly did Matthew tell him toinfuriate him so much that he was bent on destroying him?

However, I could not replace the answer to this question n o matter how hard I thought.

When the procedure was done, Theo came out of the operating room with a sullen face. It was hardto read his emotions.

He let out a smile when he saw me.

I held his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"

He smiled. "What will you do if I say it does?"

I smiled and planted a kiss on his lips. "Will this do?"

The doctor walked over and said, "Lome back for a check-up in a week. Try and hold back any kindof sexual activities for a month as it'll affect the recovery process."

I nodded at him. "Thank you, Doctor."

We stayed another half an hour in the hospital to make sure that Theo was not suffering from anyside effects before leaving.

When we got back to the villa, the sky had already turned dark.

After eating dinner, I received a call from Cassey.

She said, "I forgot to send you the box because I had things to do yesterday."

After a pause, she continued, "I want to ask you out for a walk. Are you free?"

I could tell that she was in a bad mood and agreed." Send me your location."

Theo was working in the study. I went upstairs and into the study. I saw him reading his files, so Isat down on the sofa so as to not interrupt him.

"Do you have things to say to me?" He noticed me, of course.

I nodded. "Cassey asked me out for a walk."

Theo closed the file in his hands and got up while saying, "I'll go with you."

I frowned. "You still have many things to do. I can go b y myself. You just finished your operationand shouldn’t move around."

He pursed his lips slightly and asked after a while," How long will it take for you to come back?"

Cassey was a newlywed, and her bad mood probably stemmed from a conflict with Caleb, so Ireplied, "I'm not sure."

Theo pursed his lips. "Send me your location after this and I'll go pick you up in an hour."

He was only allowing me to go out for an hour. I opened my mouth to protest but he gave me nochance to speak. He sighed and said, "I'll be worried if you go out for too long."

Since he had said so, I had no choice but to agree.

I went downstairs, grabbed my keys, and went out.

Cassey asked me to meet in a bar, which was under her name.

There were not too many people in the bar at this hour. As soon as I entered the bar, the waitercame over. "Ms. Lane, come with me."

I was a little stunned and followed him.

The second floor of the bar was full of cubicles. Cassey was sitting in one of them, drinking winealone.

I frowned and walked over to snatch the wine glass from her. I then ordered the waiter to bring overa glass of warm milk.

Cassey held her chin and said lazily, "I'm at a bar but you want me to drink warm milk? You must bejoking with me."

I glanced at her belly and said with a sullen expression, "Why are you drinking when you'repregnant? Did you hit your head or something?”

"But I'm upset." Cassey looked at the girls dancing on the stage on the first floor. "I should drinkwhen I’m upset."

Her tone sounded bitter, I could tell. I felt a little sorry for her. "Why are you upset? Did you arguewith

Caleb?"

Cassey smacked the table lightly and said to me," Wanda, have you ever heard of parents whoinsist on staying with their son after he's married?"

I answered honestly, "Theo and I don't have parents. When Grandma was still around, she wouldstay in the mountains most of the time, so I don't really know much about this."

She smiled a little sarcastically. "Sure enough, there are just so many terrible things in life. I wouldn'thave gotten married if I had known."

She was pregnant, so the slightest thing that did not g o as well as she wanted would trigger anegative

response in her toward her marriage and future.

I sighed softly and persuaded her, saying, "Perhaps they just want to stay and take care of you.You're pregnant, after all. You need someone to look after you."

Cassey merely sneered, seemingly disagreeing with m y words.
