Miss Woods, who was paying attention to all the commotion outside, quickly approached Theo and exclaimed with fright, “Why are your injuries so serious? Quickly get them checked in the hospital.” I looked up to see the corner of his mouth still bleeding and his eye was bruised. The rest of his face had patches of black and blue. The back of his right hand was blood red, but it was uncertain whether the blood was his or Tyler’s. Although he was badly hurt, he did not show one bit of exhaustion. He remained tall and straight with a cold aura. He glanced at me and finally said, “It’s okay. They’re just some minor injuries.” Miss Woods found a first aid kit to treat his wounds. I finished the last bit of chicken soup, put the bowl down, looked at Miss Woods, and said, “I’m done. I’ll go up first.” Theo’s dark eyes sank, and his face became even gloomier. I pretended not to see it and got up to go upstairs. Miss Woods looked at me for a moment, hesitating to say something. In
Only then did Theo take out his phone in a hurry. His voice was quivering, “Someone fell down the stairs and she’s pregnant. There’s a lot of blood. I need an ambulance, quick, now!” After hanging up the phone, he stumbled back upstairs and came back down with some clothes and towels in his hand. I looked at him very calmly. My vision was blurry. However, I still saw his fear and helplessness. I did not pity him but found it amusing instead. If I had known this earlier, would I have bothered in the beginning? He used the towel to wipe the blood under me, but it was pointless. It started flowing again right after every wipe. All he could do was help me put some clothes on, carry me off the floor, and rush out the door. I could obviously feel that his hands were trembling hard, but his pace was quick. He ran a long distance.His breathing slowly became heavy, but he did not give up and continued running. Sirens were finally heard from a distance away. The ambulance was her
“Wanda, can’t you talk nicely?” Theo spoke. His facial expression looked terrible. I turned to look at him and smiled. "President Grant, you’re right. How dare I not talk nicely? Otherwise, if President Grant is unhappy, I might lose my life with just one push.""You…" He looked at me. At last, he fell silent but still looked extremely unhappy. Cindy, who was standing beside, said, “Wanda, don’t blame Theowy. I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of him…” "I'm tired. Can you please get out of here!" I refused to hear another word from Cindy and drove them out. Then, I turned around, unwilling to even look at them. Cindy still wanted to talk, but she was dragged out of the ward by Theo.I felt depressed all of a sudden when I saw them leave. Despite having survived the fall and operation, I was sad.I stayed in the hospital for the next few days, living a life of isolation. No one knew that I was in the hospital.I watched the news every day, so I was still able to know wha
I shook my head gently. “The matter of the spokesperson hasn’t settled yet, as well as the acquisition case. I’ve been handling it all this while. I don’t want to give up halfway.” In fact, the biggest reason was that I was reluctant to go anywhere. I even hated going to crowded places. “Alright. Just tell me if you’re tired. I’ll ask someone to replace you.” Theo did not persist.I leaned on the window and kept quiet. Recalling what I had done these 20 past years, it seemed that I had been living a life of fear. Before I got married, I was overwhelmed by tons of stuff. After I got married, I lived my life fearfully and cautiously. There was no sweet romance. I did not get to enjoy the feeling of loving someone and being loved either.What a failure! I could not help but shake my head as I smiled bitterly at the thought of this.“What are you laughing at?” Theo was confused and asked me.“Nothing. I just thought of something funny.” He wanted to talk to me but I had no intent
What I said hurt his feelings. His pupils shook, and his aura reduced in intensity. He seemed to be at a loss all of a sudden. Then, he leaned into me and spoke in a deep voice. "So, in your heart, I’m a wretch and a cold-blooded murderer?”I remained silent, which was an indirect admission. He took a step back, looking disappointed. He spoke faintly, “Wanda, when you said you love me, I didn’t expect it to mean this.”I replied calmly, "I've already said that I’ll take my love back and not bother you anymore.”“Great! You’ve got some galls!” After he spoke, he did not look at me anymore. He slammed the door hard and left.If it were before, I would be worried and frightened every time he left in anger. However, I was surprisingly calm now. I slowly stood up and started to pack my luggage again.Miss Woods brought the chicken soup upstairs. When she saw me leaving, she panicked and pulled my hand, refusing to let me go. "Madam, you're pregnant. It's dangerous for you to be outsi
She nodded her head and smiled. “Yes. We were just classmates at first. After we got into a relationship, our parents kept rushing us to get married. So, we’re getting ready to marry. I wanted to introduce him to you previously, but so many things have happened these days. I couldn’t find a chance to tell you.” That was nice. Women who were in a relationship had love in their eyes, and their gazes would sparkle as well.Indeed, many things had happened these days. I smiled and said, “I wish you happiness. We should eat together someday if we have time.” “Sure, Wanda. I’ll leave first.” Heidi looked so happy. She turned and left. I looked at her back while feeling envious. How good it was to be young, and how nice it must be to be in a relationship.That was when the phone rang. It was Cecilia, who invited me to go shopping in the evening. She had been staying at home these days because of Tyler. It seemed that she was bored. I hung up the call after I promised to meet her in
Cecilia turned her head around, looked at me, and spoke in a serious tone. "So leave Theo. I can take care of both of you." I was stunned for a moment when she suddenly said that. I hugged her and said, "Why are you suddenly talking about this? But I’ll definitely divorce him and leave. It’s just a matter of time.”She broke free from the hug, patted my shoulder, and smiled. "Alright, I just suddenly feel a little emotional. I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes. And I've found a place in Rosella City. The living expenses are lower there. When the time comes, we'll buy a villa and our lives will be better than they are here.”Looking at Cecilia’s tearful eyes while she pretended that she was having it easy, I suddenly realized that she had changed. She had changed into someone who had a lot on her mind and who was keeping things in her heart.Maybe it was because of Xander. I did not think much of it either. I held her hand and said, “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me. We s
He paused and halted his footsteps. His bottomless eyes tinged with icy coldness.“Wanda, who are you talking to?” Cecilia heard noises and asked. “Someone came to check on the gas.” After I said that, I raised my hands and pushed Theo out of the door before closing it.He raised his brows, and I saw anger in his icy-cold expression. It was probably the first time he was pushed out of the door. "It's late. What's the matter?" I ignored his unhappiness and asked. He stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets, fixing his gaze on me. There was no expression on his face. It took him a long time to finally speak. “I came to bring you home.” I was depressed, but it was not the time to fight with each other. I lowered my voice and spoke softly, "Didn't I tell you that I'll be staying here for a while? Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby.""And I've told you, you can only stay at the villa until the baby is born. At least there’s someone at home who can take care of
