Chapter 69 When we got home, Miss Woods came out to greet us with a huge smile on her face Madam, you gave us all a fright! Go lie down quickly, Ive made you soup! What are you doing here, Miss Woods? I was genuinely happy to see Miss Woods.
She was one of the few people that had sincerely cared about me back in the old mansion, other than Grandma.
Young Master requested that I come.
Look at you! Why didnt you announce your pregnancy? Its such big news! What would we have done if something really bad had happened to you? Thank the heavens! Old Madam would be elated if she was here.
Miss Woods wiped some tears from her eyes.
It was obvious that she was genuinely happy for me.
I was slightly moved.
I thought no one wanted this baby or cared about it.
It looked like I had been mistaken.
Theo cast a glance at me, warmth filling his eyes.
Lets go up and lie down for a while.
I nodded.
I had not slept very well the previous night, so because of that and my already weary body, I felt weak and unwell.
Miss Woods was quick to agree.
Go on, o on! Ill let you know when lunch is ready.
Theo laid me on the bed and tucked mei n.
He got up to close the window and said, Rest well now, Ill finish up some work i in the study.
He left hurriedly after that.
It was clear his absence from work had caused some major delays in quite a few departments.
I had wanted to remind him about Cecilia but had to let it go for now, I did not know how much pressure he was going through running the entire Grant Corporation alone, but it seemed like he was always working, no matter rain or shine.
Theo woke me up around noon when lunch was being served.
Miss Woods had I did not have much of an appetite because I was still full from breakfast, and my anxiety about Cecilia made it hard for me to feel very hungry.

It had been 24 hours since Cecilia was dragged into the police station.
That fact flustered me, and after a moment of hesitation, I asked, Theo, could you accompany me to the police station, please? Eat first.
His face was emotionless and cold.
But… My initial plan had been to head t o the police station before noon, but because I had been too tired, and because I knew Theo would certainly not agree, I had waited until now to ask.
Finish all this, then well talk, he said solemnly.
I lowered my head to find my bowl filled to the brim with food, I wa s furiou s.
I struggled the entire way th ere as I shrieked, Theo Grant, you assh *le! Let me go! I wanna go to the police station now! Cecilia has been there for a day and a night now, I HAVE to see her! Te lovered his head and kissed me on the lips.
My lips were instantly covered with a warm, soft sensation.
I was no longer able to speak.
After what seemed like forever, he spoke.
If youre so worried about her, stay at home like a good girl.
Ill head to the police station.
I thought he had not wanted to help me.
Little did I know he had his own plans.
I laid down once again, quietly and obediently this time.
Youve gotta update me immediately if you have any news.
He nodded and pecked me on the forehead before leaving After Theo left, I could not sleep, so got u pand prepared to go to my office.
It was a few days before shooting was about to commence, so I needed to keep a close eye on everything I sneaked downstairs and was relieved to not find Miss Woods around.
Maybe she had left? I patted my chest and walked out the door, carefree A s I stepped into the office buildings elevator, I heard a cry, Wait up!, so I vator, I heard a cry, Wait up!, so I held the door open.
I soon saw that the cry had unexpectedly come from Zedd Nichols.
I should have read through my horoscope before I left the house today, so I knew to prepare myself to bump into such a disgusting person.
How unfortunate!
