The Woman From Hell

After all these years, Theo had spoiled Cindy into a princess who lived a noble and proud life. At this moment, however, she completely abandoned her dignity, image, and limits... That made her look somewhat pitiful.

Love could make a person humble.

I sighed. I was the same in the past.

"You're awake?” There was suddenly the sound of a door opening behind me.

Startled, I turned around. Mason was clad in all-black attire, standing at the study while smiling at me.

“Shh, keep it down." I quickly ran over. "What are you doing here?” I was thinking of going to the hospital to meet him.

"Theo said he wanted to stay at home to take care of you, so he asked us to come over for a meeting." He shrugged.

"I happened to be looking for you. Let's talk inside." Afraid that Mason would find out that I was eavesdropping, I quickly entered the study first.

"What's up?" His tone was bland, his expression as usual.

"I need you to treat me." I sat on the sofa in the study, deliberating how to start the conversation.

Mason sat down across from me and gestured for me t o speak.

"I've been sleeping very poorly recently, which has led to a series of physical problems and poor mental health. I'm easily irritable, have extremely unstable emotions, lack appetite, and am

fatigued."

He looked up at me with a complicated look in his eyes before reaching out to check my temperature.

After a very long time, he said, "You have a pale complexion. If your insomnia continues, it's going to trigger you into depression."

I knew very well about the things that would happen t o me if this continued. "Do you have drugs that can promote sleep? Can you prescribe some for me?"

"I do, but you're not allowed to take them because it'll affect the growth of the fetus." He rubbed his forehead and said after a very long time, "I'll prescribe you some medicine. However, drugs can only treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem. Emotions need to be self-regulated, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

I nodded without a word. There were some things in life that I could not control.

"How did this happen? Have similar things happened before?" After a very long time, he stared at me and

asked.

I did not reply and stood up, saying, "I'm going back now. Thank you, Dr. Mason.”

I did not want to nor did I need to tell him what had happened in the past.

He did not speak further and stood up to follow me outside.

Downstairs, Cindy’s voice rang out once more. She no longer sounded as irritable as before and was much calmer now. "Theowy, I know you're a responsible man, but duty isn't something that

keeps a marriage going. A family without love is destined to be faced with a tragedy.”

I paused in my steps and stretched out my left hand to hold my right hand tight.

Mason stood beside me and said, "You should be thinking of your child. Certain things are better left unheard.”

I let out a wry smile and turned to look at him. "Dr. Mason, do you also think that I should be like before, tolerating everything until I drive myself crazy?"

He frowned, his countenance indifferent as he said no more. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Seeing that Theo was silent, Cindy seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope and continued, "Theowy, you know how much Wanda likes you. She's trying to win your heart by using the child. But you don't even love her. As time passes, you'll feel bored and annoyed. By then, she’ll have a breakdown because she couldn't get what she wanted."

I could not stand it anymore and walked downstairs. Mason reached out to stop me but eventually gave up.

"You're not me, Miss Cindy, so how do you know what I want?" I let out a small smile and looked at her from above.

"Were you eavesdropping on us, Wanda?" My appearance startled Cindy that she immediately accused me.

Theo glanced at me without a single expression on his face.

"You’re the one who came here this early in the morning to say these things to my husband, so why are you blaming me instead?" I looked at her and continued, "Also, I think there's a need to inform

you that I'm just an ordinary woman. In my opinion, happiness comes from staying with my husband and children together as a family.”

"Wanda Lane, are you sure you can secure Theowy’s heart with your child?" Cindy was exasperated, asking me while gnashing her teeth.

"I'm not sure, but at least the child is ours. Moreover, he's willing to change for the sake of our child. You’re afraid, Ms. Cindy, and showing up at our door to make a scene over and over again is the best proof of that."
