The Woman From Hell

My eyes were still tightly shut when I finished speaking I did not dare to look a I Theo’s reaction

***Don’t worry, we will iry our best. Let’s get you to the emergency room right away and inform the

OB/GYN about this.” I was quickly pushed into the emergency operating theatre

Right before I was wheeled in, I caught a Elimpse of the pain on Theo’s face. His hands were balled up

into fisis and he was punching the wall repeatedly.

My heart hurt so much I could barely breathe. It was all my fault. It was all because of my stubborness

and my rashness which it came to making decisions. If the baby was gone, just like this, I would be the

greatest sinner of all time. I would never be able to forgive mysell.

When I woke up again, whiteness greeted me. I was laying in a thospital bed, and

Theo was staring at me intently. I had

never seen him look so tired and roughed up before. The memories of what had happened came

rushing back into my mind.

“My baby.” I jumped up from the bed and reached out to my belly.

“Lie still.” Theo’s voice was grave, his tone demandingly cold. Aside from his slightly messy hair, his

face was emotionless.

I was deathly afraid and laid back down. After a long pause, I timidly asked again,

Is my baby okay?”

I no longer felt pain in my abdomen, so I was not sure if my baby was still in my belly

He lifted his eyes to glare at me. His face was gloomy and dark. My heart was in 11 y throat as I

anxiously waited for him to answer me.

“Wanda Lane, who gave you the courage i o do what you did? Did you really think you could bear the

consequences of your decision?’ He did not answer my question, only reprimanding me sternly.

Grievance instantly flooded my heart. I tried hard not to bawl as I retorted, “You think I want things to be

this way? I didn’t know what to do! Cindy threatened me with her life, and if I didn’t abort the child, do

you think she would allow me to live in peace? I really couldn’t bring myself to do it, so…”

Towards the end of my rant, 1 lowered m y head

What about me? Can’t you trust me at least this once? Were you going to lie to m e forever?” Theo

raised his voice as he bombarded me with questions.

I knew he was burning with rage. My eyes red-rimmed, I continued, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, nor

did I think I could lie t O you forever. All I wanted to do was not burden anyone more than I needed to.

This is my baby, and I will take good care of them after the divorce. I won’t allow this baby to affect

yours and Ms. Reed’s

“Hah, I really had no idea you were this considerate.” He sneered, his icy gaze boring into me. “You

have no f*cking right to decide for me what is to be done NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

It was my first time haring him curse, and I was flabbergasted. I did not know hume to react.

As if he had come to his senses after that outburst, le solemned his lone and continued, “Take care of

yourself and our baby Lintil the baby is out. Don’t worry, I’m here!

I breathed a sigh of relief. If he was saying that, that meant that the baby was okay.

“I’ll take note of what’s happened. We’ll discuss how you can pay the consequences later.” He got up

and poured me a glass of water. His face was still cold and aloof, and his eyes were decp and

mysterious. It was impossible to read his thoughts.

I reached out for the glass of water and took a low sips. The emotions in my heart were unfamiliar and

odd, and I did not know how to put words to then

We did not talk for a while, and the atmosphere grew awkward. Fortunately, the doctors Game as they

were doing their rounds.

Timmediately asked the doctor about my condition and about what I had not had the courage to ask

Theo about earlier. I was worried about the baby since I knew I had bled a lot earlier,

“Don’t worry, since you were sent in just i n time, the baby’s doing fine. However, tsk tsk, young people

like you! You know it’s not recommended to have intercourse during the first three months. It’s just

common sense! Why can’t you guys just hold it in? Especially you, a respectable gentleman, can’t you

have at least a little self-control”

This was coming from an older doctor, and his voice was loud and clear, no subtlety at all within his

words. The nurses around us were snickering

I coughed awkwardly while Theo glared a t me with a distorted expression on his face. He nodded and

walked out.

That was probably his first-ever time being reprimanded. He was probably feeling ashamed since no

one had scolded him to his face like that before

After giving me a few pointers on what I

Oer giving me a few pointers on what I should take note of the doctors left, leaving a nurse behind to

change my dressings.

Your husband must love you very much. When you were in the emergency theatre, he was pacing

around all alone like a helpless kid that could only wait by the sidelines. He refused to leave.”

Was she referring to the same Theo I knew? The Theo that was always aloof and constantly had his

‘high and mighty facade up? I was in slight disbelief.
