In comparison, Petra was not that comfortable. She opened her mouth to speak a few times butonly ended up saying one sentence, "He’s really nice to you."

She was referring to Theo when she said 'he'. I nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Yes."

We fell into a long silence again after that.

"Yesterday, I heard that Mason is going to take Munchkin to South Vasetine," she spoke again in acautious manner.

I nodded, looking at the lines on my palm and feeling a little irritable.

Petra sighed gently. "You and Theo should take advantage while you’re still young to have anotherchild."

I looked up at her but did not say anything.

She was a little nervous from my stare and thought she had said something to make me mad. Shequickly tried to save the situation. "I don't mean anything else. I’m just worried about you."

I pursed my lips and felt uncomfortable inside.

We were clearly mother and daughter, yet we had to b e so cautious around each other. Should Icall this

ridiculous or pathetic?

However, how else should we get along if not like this?

Neither of us had an answer to that, hence we could only let it remain like this.

Not long after that, the nurse came in to administer the drip for Petra. With another person in theward, the atmosphere seemed less awkward now.

The nurse finished administering the drip and went out. Soon after, Theo came back after buyingbreakfast.

Petra had just undergone an operation and could only eat plain food, so he bought oatmeal andeggs.

Theo took out the oatmeal from the bag and said with a smile, "I asked the nurse and you’re onlyallowed oatmeal and eggs. You can only eat other things in another two more days."

Petra nodded and thanked him.

We were not people who often mingled together, so we fell silent when there was nothing else tosay.

I was not expecting Susan at all but she came bringing lots of things.

Although she usually seemed quiet, she was a woman who had worked alongside Tyler for manyyears.

Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere between Petra and me, she could not stop talking onceshe started.

Therefore, in the next few hours, Susan was instead the one who kept talking to Petra.

It was not until a look of exhaustion appeared on Petra’s face that she left.

When Grayson came back, Theo and I left as well.

I had nothing to do after that, so Theo suggested that I accompany him to work. Knowing that it wasuseless t o reject his offer, I went to Grant Corporation with him.

Maybe he saw that I was in a bad mood, so he held my hand when we were waiting at the trafficlight. He brought it closer to his mouth to kiss it. "You’re in a bad mood?”

I froze and said blandly, "I can't say that I'm in a bad mood. I don't know how to put it. You can saythat our interactions as mother and daughter are careful, and that's sad no matter how you think ofit."

Theo gently sighed. “So are you choosing to let go?"

"What choice do I have other than choosing to let go?" I looked at him with a hidden pain in mygaze.

We lived in the same city, not to mention that we were family members who shared blood ties.There was no way we could avoid each other forever.

Were we supposed to interact so awkwardly every time we met?

Theo smiled slightly. "There's no other choice and you know that."

There was indeed no other choice. Life was just so helpless sometimes.
