Chapter 232: Gamble
"Where are you going?" Thea asked Chin who suddenly got up from her chair when Jeru entered her bedroom. Thea was already discharged from the hospital and was now back at Jeru’s house.
She and Chin had a heart-to-heart talk just a while ago. They talked about her circumstances and Chin had given Thea her honest opinion about the whole situation. She had given Thea some advice and told her what she would do if she was in her shoes.
Chin rolled her eyes and said jokingly, "I also need a break, you know? Just let me do my own things for a bit..." She then gave Thea a meaningful look before she turned around and greeted Jeru.
Chin was happy to start the new life that Jeru had promised her. She was hired to be a part of Jeru’s security team and she promised herself that she would not waste this opportunity that was given to her for a fresh new start. She would do her absolute best at her new job.
She turned around to give Thea one last meaningful wink. She only hoped Thea would heed her advice, because she truly believed that it would be the best for her. But of course, whatever Thea would decide in the end, she would always stay by her side and support her. Both of them were each other’s only family. She would stick with Thea no matter what.
After Chin left the room, Thea felt a bit nervous when she saw him walking toward her. ’Will he bring up the marriage proposition again?’ she mused. Because if he did, she would not know what to do, since she hadn’t come up with a firm decision yet.
Jeru sat beside her on the bed and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Thea gave him a half smile and answered, "I’m feeling okay... Just the usual first trimester thing. I would often feel nauseous, like my stomach churned, also tired..."
Jeru nodded and said, "Just tell me if you need or want anything, okay?"
