The Woman From Hell

I had calmed down. I laid on the bed and looked at them coldly. I had a whirlwind of emotions in my

heart. I did not know if it was because I was feeling sad or because I was pitiful.

Theo looked at me. His eyes were still cold. He embraced Cindy and gently patted her back to comfort

her. “Be good and stop crying.”

“Theowy, you do not want Wanda’s child, right?” Cindy grabbed his shirt and asked desperately.

My heart clenched as I looked at him nervously, also waiting for his answer.

However, he did not even look at me and only focused on Cindy. He wiped her tears away and

remained silent.

Cindy cried even harder, almost losing her voice. She choked and said,” Theowy, you promised my

parents that you would take care of me for the rest of my life. They have left me behind, and now you

want to leave me too?”

“Cindy, do not say such nonsense D never said that I do not care about you.” Theo frowned, but his

tone remained gentle.

“But if she gives birth to this child, you will not get a divorce, right? How are you going to take care of

me if you have your own family and child? Theowy, you know that I only have you. I do not want

anything but you.”

Cindy cried buckets of tears like a baby. She looked weak, helpless, and especially pitiful.

Theo hugged her tightly and tried his best to comfort her. “Cindy, I have said that I will take care of you.

You will

never be alone. Do not be afraid, I will always be here.”

Cindy refused to let it go. With her red and swollen eyes, she pleaded,” Theowy, I beg you. Please do

not keep the child, okay? I will give you children i n the future. Please, or I will die.”

She was adamant and sounded serious.

Theo did not say anything. His eyes looked unhappy. After a while, he said, ” Cindy, do not be

stubborn.”

Perhaps he had never spoken to Cindy i n such a manner before. She was stunned for a moment

before she pushed him away. She dashed to the balcony and climbed onto the railing.

Her actions were too sudden and quick. I did not expect it, and neither did Theo.

He hurriedly got up and wanted to rush over, but Cindy turned around and shouted, “Do not come near

me! If you

take another step, I will jump down from here!

He was a little flustered, but he still listened and stopped. He said gently,” Cindy, do not be rash. Come

down first. Let’s talk things out.”

Cindy was adamant. She took another step forward before turning around. Promise me that you will not

want this child and will divorce her immediately.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I could tell that Cindy was determined not to give up until she got what she wanted. This time, before

Theo could speak, I said, “Do not worry. We will surely get a divorce.”

I swallowed the pain in my heart and paused for a moment before saying, “Id o not want this child and

neither do I want him!”

The words took every ounce of my strength in me to utter.

“Wanda!” Theo was utterly enraged. He glared at me angrily with fury burning i n his eyes.

I chuckled calmly. “If you do not agree t o this, you will regret it for the rest of your life if she jumps!”

My words made Cindy feel relieved and relaxed herself. She suddenly slipped and fell from the railing.

Theo quickly dashed forward and grabbed her tightly, afraid that she would break free again.

“You guys leave. I am tired.” After saying that, I laid back down.

Cindy was still sobbing. Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me with his cold eyes. Then, he

carried Cindy and left the room.

The room instantly fell silent. My heart sank as I looked down at the remnants o f the glass bottle on the

floor. u

I did not want to stay there any longer, s o I got up and went to Cecilia’s milk tea shop

Cecilia was also an orphan. We were the only family to each other. She had always been by my side

during my dark times. When I came to Salt City, she? followed me and opened this milk tea shop.

“Why are you here so early? What happened?” Seeing me there, she placed a cup of milk tea in front

of me out of habit. She was a person of few words, but she knew me best.

“Can we leave this place together?” I held the iced milk tea and looked at her.

“So you have finally made up your mind. You should have done this a long time ago. I told you that I

would be there for you no matter where you were.” Cecelia said with some relief. 2

From the day I married Theo, she had been persuading me to leave him. She just did not want my love

to go to waste.
