"Well," Theodore said flatly, "it's alright."

He had long gotten used to things.

It was impossible to not face any pressure managing such a huge company. He was only human; making mistakes and getting exhausted were inevitable.

However, he used to always have Rosalie by his side, and never felt tired because of her.

She would always be waiting for him at home.

Things have changed now, though. The house he returned to every day was empty, with nothing for him to look forward to. He found it exhausting, even without going to work. Theodore's physical fatigue was nothing compared to his mental fatigue.

"Mr. Spencer, I can tell that you're a responsible man, but no matter what, you need a healthy balance between work and rest. You have to take care of your own body," Aurora said. Theodore nodded. "I will."

Aurora shifted, looking rather uncomfortable.

Theodore asked, "What's the matter? Do you feel unwell again?"

Aurora smiled awkwardly. "I've been lying on the bed for too long, and my body feels a little stiff. If only I could head out for a stroll..."

"Let the nurse go out for a walk with you. Where is she?" Theodore suggested.

"No need," Aurora said with a wave of her hands. "I told her she should clock out. She'll only come in tomorrow morning. I wanted to give her some time to herself." Theodore nodded. "That's fine. Why don't I bring you somewhere around the hospital for some fresh air?"

"Really, you will?" Aurora asked, delighted.

"Of course, provided you're willing."
