The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1406

I did not know when she left. When Theo found me and saw how dispirited I looked, he asked with a frown, "What happened?"

I shook my head and held his hand, then lay in his arms as I took a deep breath before saying, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I really don't know what I should do now."

"What's wrong?" Theo lowered his head to look at me. Seeing that I was in a bad state, he asked worriedly.

I did not know how to start telling him about it and merely lay in his arms mumbling non-stop.

Theo took me away from here. When I got home, I lay on the bed like a deflated balloon. A sense of powerlessness surrounded me.

Humans often liked to stand up for themselves and search for countless excuses to prove that they were not wrong. Though many times, a mistake was a mistake.

I had been finding excuses for myself. I took Dazaray back home and even forgave her for deliberately discarding all of my documents at the airport. I forgave her for later hurting me again a few times and thought this was enough for her to stop hating me. I thought that I had no more reasons to feel guilty about what I did to her anymore.

However, I was not Dazaray. As she had suffered greatly because of me, she would never forgive me no matter how I tried to make up for it.

After laying in bed for a long time and thinking about a lot of things, I realized that Theo had not returned to the bedroom after a very long time. I got up and went to look for him in the study.

He was staring at the computer. When he heard the door opening, he looked up at me. "Do you feel better now?"

I nodded and sat down next to him, my gaze falling on the computer screen.

When I noticed the screen showing what seemed to be hospital surveillance footage, I asked in confusion, "Wasn't the hospital surveillance footage destroyed?"

Theo chuckled. "I found someone to fix it. The surveillance cameras in the elevator as well as the basement car park have been fixed. Although Dazaray and Milan were both wearing face masks, they're recognizable through their body types."

I hesitated a little before asking, "What do you plan to do next?"

He probably went to such great lengths to fix the surveillance cameras in order to send Dazaray to prison. Although Milan was already dead and could not be accused, this surveillance alone could easily land her at least a few years in prison.

Theo's expression sank slightly. Looking at the woman in the surveillance footage, he mildly said, "Her thoughts are too radical. She has no limits at all. She'll pose a danger to anyone if we let her roam freely in society."

I pursed my lips and fell silent for a long time.

Theo sensed my attitude and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You don't want to lock her up?"

I shook my head. "Can you not release this footage?"

Theo frowned slightly, not really understanding why. "Why?"

"I owe her. I caused her to get hurt when we were abroad. That's why she often targets me and tries to kill me."

I did not know if I was doing the right thing, but if she was sent to prison now, I might be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life.

If I had not made that decision, then she would not have been hurt so badly and her thoughts would not have gotten so twisted either.

Theo fell silent for a long time and helplessly said, "I promise you that if you want to let this drop, then I'll stop getting involved. But the footage must not be destroyed. I'll let you keep it, and when you're left with no choice one day, you can then take it out."
