Talking to Theo has been a good help to Andrea. She learned many things from the past to the present. Though some of it was lacking, some of her questions have been answered thanks to Theo. They spent the whole day chatting together like a pair of high school students. With this, Andrea can personally see that this person truly cares about her well being.
There are mainly three things Andrea learned just from listening to Theo; first, Andrea has no family left except for her greedy relatives that have been sucking off the remaining wealth that her parents worked for. Second, Andrea's plan before the accident was to travel far away in this city. And lastly is that…Theo is gay. It's not a bad thing but seeing his cute reactions and how he tried so hard to deny that he liked another guy without, even being asked, gave it away.
Remembering what she talked about with Theo, Andrea can't help but recall the last thing that Theo was unable to say properly.
…..
"Hmm, what a complicated situation I am in. And I left you a message that I will travel far from that person?" Andrea commented after hearing the long and dramatic explanation made by Theo.
The sun was almost setting outside the window as the sky was blanketed with bright orange to purple. Andrea was not able to take track of time after all the important conversation they had.
With a small knife on one hand, Theo sliced an apple as he was sitting on a circular chair beside Andrea's bed.
With his eyes following the blade on the half naked apple, Theo responded with firmness in his tone, "Yes. After hearing your voicemail, I immediately took the earliest flight to London. When I arrived here the next day, all that greeted me was the news of your accident."
After cutting the fruit into bite sized pieces, Theo set it on a small plate. Before handing the plate to Andrea, Theo's look turned a bit sour. Andrea immediately noticed his change of expression as she leered at Theo's side. With a troubled look on his eyes, Theo extended his arms to Andrea with a plate of peeled apples.
"So tell me Andrea. Did… did you really tried to kill yourself?" Theo carefully asked Andrea with a worried tone of voice.
Upon hearing that, Andrea was a bit taken aback with his question. Andrea grabbed the plate from his hands and placed it on her lap. With her eyes following the plate on her lap, Andrea then had a thought.
'It does make sense to think that I would kill myself after a harsh divorce. But for some reason, I don't feel like I intentionally tried to kill myself. It…doesn't seem to be me.' Andrea said to herself with pulled brows, clearly confused with the situation.
Seeing the expression that Andrea was making with her head slightly down, Theo instantly changed the direction of the topic.
"Y-you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I won't push it…" He stuttered with an alarmed tone of voice as he frantically waved his hands in front of her.
Theo was dismayed that if Andrea will try again to recollect her lost memories then she will have another head pain and knowing her, Theo knew that she will feel burdened for not remembering a thing.
Upon seeing the panicked Theo, Andrea lifted her head as she turned toward Theo. She then showed a small smile, "To be honest, I don't know for sure. But I have a feeling, I won't do that kind of thing after planning to live far away." Andrea answered truthfully with a bit of reluctance in her voice at first.
Hearing her response, it looked like Theo calmed down as he heaved a deep sigh of relief. Seeing the reaction he made, Andrea thought that Theo truly is a good person that cares for her.
"You do have a point with that. I was scared when the doctor said that you have been in a coma due to the severe blood loss. If it weren't for that person then maybe I won't have any idea that something terrible happened to you."
Theo then continued as he crossed his legs and arms, tring to sit in a more comfortable position after hours of sitting on a hard metal chair. Theo could feel his bottom feeling sore from sitting for a couple of hours.
"Who?"
"Blaze. He was the one who called and informed me about you." Theo answered indifferently as if this person is not that important to be talked about. But remembering after she woke up, this Blaze person was the first one who visited her.
Since mentioning his name, Andrea couldn't help but remember the face that person was making as soon as he saw her wake up. At first it was an anxious expression that was then contorted into something mysterious. But Andrea could read it clearly. It was a look of utter ecstatic.
"Blaze…Say, what's my relationship with him?"
Andrea then raised a question since his name was mentioned. Andrea was not able to properly talk with that person because for some reason, he left as soon as he talked with her doctor. With that question, Theo then raised his head slightly as he looked up, as if thinking carefully.
"Ah, that guy. He is—"
"Excuse me, I apologize for interrupting but the visiting time is over. Please do head out as soon as possible."
Before Theo could even finish his words, the female attending nurse opened the door and peeked her head over the door, informing the both of them about the current time-visit limitation. After that, the same nurse left as she closed the door
Upon hearing those announcements, Theo then got up from his seat and grabbed his white tote bag and hung it on his right shoulder. "I did not realize how much the time passed. Well there's always tomorrow. I'll start heading out now." Theo said after he checked the time on his wristwatch.
With that being said, Andrea nodded her head and said her goodbye before Theo left the room.
"Take care."
