Just as the door was closing , Hector called out , " Goodnight ." Teresa didn't get to finish , her words stuck in her throat . She gazed at the closed door , her mind swirling with thoughts . After quickly freshening up , she ended up lying on Hector's bed . The room was furnished simply , with no fancy décor at all . The sheets were a soft , uncomplicated shade of gray . Teresa wasn't really sleepy , but with her phone deliberately wrecked by Troy , there was nothing to help her kill time . She suddenly thought about Charles , who had left . ' I wonder what he's up to right now .

Is he with Naomi ? ' Teresa wondered to herself . He probably was . Teresa couldn't help thinking - in just three days , the divorce cooling - off period would be over . Thinking about all this , Teresa pulled up the covers and finally drifted off to sleep . Teresa woke up early the next morning . Maybe it was because she wasn't really comfortable in a new bed , but she woke up before dawn . She lay in bed for a while , listening to muffled sounds from outside . Curious about what Hector was doing , Teresa freshened up and stepped outside to take a look .

As she pushed open the bedroom door , sunlight streamed through the floor - to - ceiling windows , filling the living room with a warm glow . Hector was at the open kitchen , an apron tied around his waist , cooking with chopsticks as he worked something in the pan . Teresa tiptoed over , curiosity in her eyes , and asked , " Hector , what are you making for breakfast ? " 17:13 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 333 : 53 55 vouchers When Hector saw Teresa come over , he glanced her way with a slightly concerned look . " Did I wake you up ? " Teresa shook her head . " No , I've always been a light sleeper .

" Hector smiled at her . " I have a friend who works in sleep research . If you're interested , I can take you to meet them sometime . Maybe chatting with them would be helpful ." Teresa politely declined . " Thanks , but I actually developed this from those couple of years raising kids ." Hector chuckled . " Still , my friend might be able to help you treat it ." Teresa shook her head again . " Let's just save it for another time ." Seeing her refuse , Hector didn't say anything more . Teresa walked over and peeked into the pan .

Hector was frying eggs , and next to it , the porridge was already done , steam wafting up from the pot . Seeing Hector seemed so free this morning , Teresa asked , a little confused , " Hector , aren't you headed to the hospital today ? " Even though it was New Year's Day , Hector almost never got a proper break . Thing is , he's got way too many patients . Hector replied , " Holiday today , so I'm taking the day off . " Teresa grinned , " So you're actually giving yourself a break for once ? " Hector slid the eggs onto a plate , his face turning serious as he looked at her .

" It's because I used to work so much ... that I missed my chance to hold your hand ." Teresa was stunned for a moment , the words hanging in the air . She started to protest , her voice shaky . " Hector , don't say that . I mean- " But Hector cut her off . " Teresa , I'm right here . If you ever look back , you'll see me waiting ." Teresa shrugged . " Hector , I'm really not as amazing as you think I am ." Hector fell silent , just as his phone started buzzing , breaking the moment . He checked the screen - it was a number he didn't recognize .

After hesitating for a second , he decided to answer . " Hello ? Who's calling ? " Turns out , it was the hospital director from Ternton on the line . Hector sounded puzzled . " What's wrong ?

" Seeing how unfazed he was , Teresa couldn't help but be a little impressed . He was supposed to be enjoying a well - earned day off , but that call had just ruined his plans . Anyone else would probably be pissed . But Hector didn't even bat an eye . After Hector agreed , Teresa gave him a small smile and asked , " When are you heading out ?

" Instead of answering , Hector flipped the question right back at her . " What about you ? Want to tag along to Ternton ? " Teresa paused for a moment but still declined . " I need to head back to the Sullivan Mansion . " Hector didn't push it . " Alright ." To him , Teresa's wishes always came first .

" Alright ." Hector asked , " Do you want me to do the surgery ? " Teresa stood at the door , the cold wind biting at her , and she couldn't help but shiver .
