The Woman From Hell

Back in the room, Zedd was openly gloating while Cindy was leaning against Theo

Theo coldly glanced at me before looking away. There was no emotion on his face.

There were still nine glasses of wine left o ni the table.

I felt awful inside. I closed my eyes and picked up another glass, wanting to get this over and done. I

just wanted to get out of there.

The wine was so strong that I choked. I could not stop my tears from flowing down my checks.

Perhaps I got used to the wine. After a while, I did not feel nauseous after downing the second glass of

wine. I only felt a slight pain in my stomach, and I had cold sweat on my forehead.

Mason could tell the omething was wrong with me. He held down the third glass of wine I had in my

hand and shook his head gently.

I stubbornly struggled to free my glass from his hand and put it to my mouth, ready to pour it down my

throat.

Suddenly, I felt my hand pressed down forcefully, and my body pulled into a familiar embrace.

“I will drink the rest on her behalf,” Theo said and took the wine glass from my hand. He drank the wine

quickly within seconds. He then proceeded with the next, and the next… Each glass of wine was drunk

in one gulp. He finished all the wine.

Cindy was so angry that her eyes turned red. She stood up and left without saying anything

Zedd looked at Theo with conflicted emotions before looking at me. Finally, he stomped his feet and

followed Cindy out.

cold sweat beaded on my forehead.

“Let’s quickly send her to the hospital.” Mason looked anxious.

Theo picked me up and rushed out of the nightclub. After he placed me in the back seat, my stomach

felt worse that I curled u p into a ball.

He frowned and gently rubbed his large hands on my stomach for a while. “Bear with it for now. The

hospital is just ahead.”

I was shocked when I realized that Theo was referring to the central hospital not far from the nightclub.

I panicked and held his hand while enduring the pain.” Let’s go to Doctor Lynch’s hospital.”

His face turned serious, clearly displeased.

I did not know how to explain to him. It did not make sense for me to request a hospital further away

while I was in such great pain.

At that moment, Mason, who had just paid the bill at the nightclub, said calmly, “Her surgery was done

in our hospital. Her medical files are already there as a reference. It would be a waste of time for the

hospital to conduct another examination on her. Let’s go to our hospital.”

His words were flawless. Although Theo was unhappy, he did not say anything and drove directly to the

Lynch Family Hospital where I had my surgery.

Feeling relieved, I closed my eyes and stopped talking

Theo drove very quickly. After ten minutes or so, the car arrived at the hospital. Mason had called

ahead earlier, s oa gurney was ready for me at the hospital entrance

I was quickly sent to the emergency room. Mason treated me with an emergency stomach wash.

“Is the baby okay?” I asked worriedly, feeling weak.

“It must be a pain being your child.” Mason did not answer my question directly

My heart sank as I struggled to get up.

“Liestill. Do not worry. You came in just i 11 time, so there is no major problem. You and the baby are

very weak now after going through the whole ordeal. If there is ever a next time, it would be hard to

say.” Mason sighed and sounded a little exasperated.

I let out a sigh of relief and closed my eyes in pain. What he said was true. I had caused this child too

much pain. The suffering had not stopped since the day I got pregnant

“I will get Theo to take you home. It is not safe for him to stay in the hospital.” After saying that, he

turned around and left.

Knowing that Mason was hinting about the baby and the risk of Theo finding out that I did not abort the

child, my heart was warm. There were still people who sincerely cared for me after all.

Shortly after, Theo came in and carried me to the car.

He did not say a word throughout the journey home and looked very angry.

When we got back to the villa, he carried me straight from the car to my bed. I was exhausted after an

eventful night and fell asleep straight away.

The next day, I was woken up by the ringing of my phone. My head was still dizzy from yesterday. After

a long pause, I sat up and answered my phone.

It was Cecilia. “Why did you leave the nightclub by yourself last night? When I went to look for you, that

little brother was still foolishly waiting for you. He was quite responsible.”
