"Ah, well, young man, you are awake. I saw you fall into a coma yesterday. Are you feeling better?"
"Well, thank you for your concern. Please come in and have a seat."
The old lady wanted to leave at first, but Jerome invited her. So she decided to go in and have a seat.
Anyway, she was here to observe. She would talk to her husband when she came back.
She just wanted to tell her husband that her guess was right. She really felt there was a secret relation
between Teresa and Jerome.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the bed was just a little messy. Only one man had slept in
this bed last night? No, she didn't believe it anyway.
But when she looked at Teresa, she found that the sofa was enough for only one person to sleep.
Teresa was sleeping on the sofa. Hearing the sound, she sat up in a daze.
Her hair was a little messy. She rubbed her eyes and opened them. Unexpectedly, she saw the
frowned face of the landlady. She took a deep breath unconsciously.
"Am I that scary?"
"No. Madam. Why are you here so early? What can we do for you?"
In the room, she inexplicably saw the landlady. Although she had seen her several times yesterday,
she was still awkward. Everyone would be awkward under this kind of situation.
"Why I am here? I'm here to get back the lunch boxes I gave you yesterday. I think you two haven't had
breakfast yet, right? I want to take the lunch boxes to wash and bring you some breakfast by those
boxes. After all, the breakfast outside is not as clean as the breakfast at home, isn't it?"
The landlady was not easy to deal with. Before she came here, she had made up her mind that if she
was caught, she would say that. Sure enough, she was a little complacent in her heart. It was not
wrong to be well prepared.
"Thank you for you kindness. We can have breakfast by ourselves..."
"Don't be so polite to me. If you really it is inconvenient for me, you can pay for the food and I can bring
it to you. After all, your brother is injured. You have to take care of him, and you don't have time to
make the food yourself, right?"
"Oh, yes, that's good. Mrs. landlady, I'll get you some money. Can you cook an old hen for my brother
this noon to strengthen his body?"
"Well, that's okay..."
Teresa turned around, took out five hundred from Jerome's wallet and handed it to the landlady.
"You can tell me when you run out of money. Thank you."
"You're welcome. My husband also said that, right? It's normal to have difficulties outside...."
The landlady left in a good mood and took away the three lunch boxes yesterday. Teresa touched the
cold sweat on her forehead. Of course, she didn't believe the landlady's words.
It seemed that she came to see whether they two were really brother and sister or a couple. Looking at
the exaggerated expression on Teresa's face, Jerome couldn't help smiling.
He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, nor had he felt so comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps, he should thank this time experience.
"Abby, is there anything between you and Mrs. landlady that you haven't told me?"
Teresa turned around and took a look at Jerome. She couldn't help laughing and waved at him, telling
him what happened yesterday.
Surprised, Jerome couldn't help laughing, but his smile hurt the wound. Teresa hurried to check, and
the two people were very close. At this time, the landlady had come with breakfast.
She cried out when she saw the two in the room.
"Ouch, did I disturb you two?"
"Oh, you are back. Come on in. I'm changing the wound dressing for my brother. Could you please give
me the gauze over there?"
Teresa meant to let the landlady go by herself to have a look. Teresa had never met such a gossipy old
lady.
"Oh, you two are just changing the wound dressing. I didn't say anything. Here, this is the gauze. I have
put the breakfast on the table. I have to go to the market to pick up the hen for you. I'm afraid it won't
be good if I go too late."
After the landlady left, Teresa was at a loss and didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. At the same
time, Jerome shook his head. He had never met such an old lady before.
"Brother, don't mind..."
"Well... You seem to have a good impression of Mrs. landlady?"
"I just think the landlord is a good man. He is very enthusiastic and kind to others. Well, brother, don't
pull the wound again. It will be troublesome if it is infected."
Perhaps it was because Teresa had become a mother, her tone of exhorting was like coaxing the baby.
After the two people had breakfast, Teresa went downstairs.
Jerome also wanted to go. Teresa didn't agree. However, Jerome insisted on it, so the two of them
went downstairs to the door of the landlady's room together.
The landlady was not at home. Coincidentally, the landlord came back after taking a walk with his bird.
Seeing the woman who rented the house yesterday standing at the door of his house, he thought that
she must have something to talk to them.
"Hey. Isn't you the tenant yesterday? What's up? What can I do for you?"
"Yes, sir. This is my brother. I didn't take him to see you yesterday because it was inconvenient..."
The landlord looked at Jerome and was stunned. This young man was so handsome. Yes, he liked
him.
"Is this young man your brother? You two are so good-looking. Come on, come in. Don't stand at the
door anymore."
Jerome nodded to the landlord as a greeting. The two entered the room, and Teresa helped Jerome sit
on the sofa.
Jerome felt like he was paralyzed. No, it should be Abby who made him feel like this. He really wanted
to say that his foot was not hurt.
"Come on, drink some water..."
"Sir, don't be so busy. We just want to borrow your phone to call our family. Our phone was lost..."
"Okay, okay. The phone is over there. You can use it."
The landlord didn't doubt it at all. Jerome nodded and dialed the number. Teresa held the receiver for
him. After a while, the phone was answered.
Jerome said something and asked Teresa to remember the phone number. His secretary answered the
phone and said that the general manager Tristan was not in the company.
Because of what happened to Teresa, Albert was sick and was still in the hospital. Hearing this, Teresa
felt a pang in her heart. They must go back as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Jerome asked Teresa to call Tristan. At this time, Tristan was comforting
the irascible and moody Lena...
