The Woman From Hell

"Don't worry, Munchkin will be okay," Theo slowly said.

I knew he was trying to comfort me, but the firmness in his tone could not give me any reassurance at all.

After all, I did not even know where Munchkin was right now.

I chose to trust him when it came to love, but common sense told me that I could only treat his words of comfort as a lie.

"Theo, I'd like to visit Cecilia tomorrow." I suddenly did not know what to do. It was useless to keep waiting like that, so I figured I should just visit Cecilia. Maybe I would feel a little better that way.

Sure. I'll go there with you tomorrow. It's late now. Get some rest first." He stroked my abdomen as though reminding me that even though I could stand it, the baby in my belly needed rest.

I nodded in silence and lay on the bed.

Usually, I would habitually turn my back toward him and press my back against his chest to feel his warmth. However, today, I could not help but feel that such a posture would make me realize how empty my arms were. In order to get more rest, I rolled over and embraced Theo.

He was clearly stunned, then gently patted my back and coaxed me to sleep like he was coaxing a child.
