Iris' heart flipped from calm to panic in an instant. Who sent that mysterious message? What was their motive? Did Theo know about it?
She was swamped with questions, but now wasn't the time to ask — Theo needed to return to the hospital for further treatment, and her flight was in a few hours, with her luggage still unpacked.
Iris had no choice but to suppress her doubts. There would be time to discuss this with Theo later.
In the car to the hospital, Antony broke the silence. He wasn't just Theo's assistant but also a close friend who had been by his side for years.
"Did she ask why you weren't answering your phone all afternoon and evening?" Antony inquired.
Theo gazed out the window, lost in thought, and sighed deeply before responding, "She didn't ask anything about that. She just couldn't stop crying the moment she saw my leg and even considered giving up her job opportunity in the US, and stayed here to take care of me."
