The Woman From Hell

After Keith left, I sat down by the seaside for quite some time before returning home.

When I got home, Theo was already there, and Caroline was done preparing dinner. They had been waiting for me to come back for dinner.

"Where did you go this afternoon? You're back so late." Theo looked at me and asked, concerned.

I looked at him. For a moment, my words failed me, so I coughed lightly. "I just went to the beach to feel the breeze and watch the sea to release my stress. Let's eat now."

We sat down and had dinner together. I saw that Caroline was a little worried when I glanced at her. "What's wrong, Caroline? You don't seem very happy?"

She sighed before fishing out a piece of paper from her coat pocket and handing it to me. "Madam, you'd probably understand better. Could you please read this examination report for me?" "Examination report? Are you sick?" I asked as I opened it.

Caroline waved her hand. "It's not mine. Nina went to the hospital for a check-up but didn't tell me. I found this in her pocket when I was doing the laundry. Could you help me look and see if she's sick and that's why she wouldn't tell us?" "Alright, let me look."

Nina had gone to get a pre-pregnancy test. I looked at the report. The inner wall of her uterus was thinner, and it might be hard for her to conceive. It was probably because she had undergone an abortion. However, how should I tell Caroline?

"How is it, Madam?"

Caroline urged me, and I closed the report. "It's nothing. Just a routine examination. She's fine."

Caroline let out a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good. I've been worrying for so long. It's good that she's fine."

Seeing her relax, I felt conflicted. If Caroline were to find out about what happened to Nina in the mountains, the outcome would be unimaginable. A conservative woman like her might find the situation hard to accept.

I finished dinner absent-mindedly before heading back to the room. I lay down in bed with a sad expression on my face. "Why are so many things happening?"

I heard someone opening the door

and entering and then heard Theo's voice. "You didn't look too good when you came back today. You looked even worse after reading Nina's examination report. Is there something wrong with that report?"

"It says that Nina has a lower chance of getting pregnant. I can't tell Caroline that."

"I see. You shouldn't be the one to say this to her to begin with. You did well." Theo sat down on the side of the bed and touched my head. "Did that man Samuel Aster from before show up again? He has information on you and Nina, after all. We have téget to it as soon as possible."

My heart skipped a beat when he mentioned Samuel, "No, no, he didn't look for me again."

"I haven't found anything about him yet. The surveillance footage from the hotel has been deleted. They did well securing their tracks."

Theo was not only busy with the company's affairs but was also helping me with my investigation.

Distress filled my eyes as I said to Theo, "There's no need for that anymore, Theo. I'll just investigate that person myself. You should focus on dealing with the company's matters now. Nibel won't let you goNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

so easily, I'm worried..."

I looked into Theo's firm gaze and desperately wanted to believe him, but I really could not ignore what Keith told me during the day. Nibel's methods were ruthless. What should I do if something were to really happen to Theo? Should I tell Theo about this? What if they targeted the children as well...

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Just trust me."

My heart felt as if it was entangled in a spider's web.

"Wanda, is there anything else you haven't told me?" Theo suddenly asked while he looked at me.

I did not dare meet his gaze and turned my face away. "I..."
