The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1532

Chapter 1532



Theo quickly hugged me in his arms. It was also at the sound of the gunshot that Keith and the others rushed to me and Theo as if they had received some order.

I felt a weight on my back. I realized when I turned around that Theo had fallen to the floor, his stance somewhat strange.

The crowd quickly rushed past us, and amidst the panic, I was pulled into a car.

I hurriedly searched for Munchkin when I saw that he had been picked up into the car. I quickly carried him from Keith's grasp and protected him tightly in my arms.

However, looking around me again, I did not see Theo's figure.

Far away, I saw a man kneeling in the hospital lobby. There was blood pooling on the floor.

I wanted to shout, but before the words could leave my throat, my eyes went dark.

Some time passed before I finally saw light again. I slowly opened my eyes after I had adjusted to the light and realized that I had returned to my home in Zenon.

I was a little surprised, not daring to believe that I was actually back.

Propping my body up with force, I looked left and right repeatedly to confirm that this was indeed Zenon.

I rolled out of bed. I opened the curtains and looked out the window. Everything was so peaceful and quiet.

Could everything from before be just a

dream?

Was I dreaming now?

I touched my belly subconsciously, but it was a pity that it was still too early in the pregnancy. I could not feel anything now.

How did I get here?

What happened at the gates of the hospital?

In my anxiousness, I heard the sound of the lock of the door behind turning.

I turned to look back and saw Theo coming in with a tray. "Are you awake?" His smile was gentle. He looked different from back when he was in the conference room before.

"Why am I here?"

He put the hot milk down on the table and walked up to me with a slight smile. "You got a shock when you were at the hospital and fainted. Fortunately, we were lucky. You and the baby are all right."

He came forward and wrapped me in his arms. His one hand was around me while the other was caressing my belly.

I heard this, and my heart that was suspended in the air finally eased.

"But back at the hospital, I clearly saw you...

I recalled the scene in my mind.

I clearly remembered the scene being chaotic at that time. I was taken into the car, then Munchkin was also carried into the car by Keith. I was so scared that I quickly wrapped him in my arms.

However, Theo disappeared when I was looking for him after that.

When I scanned the floor of the hospital lobby, I saw a man in a black suit lying there. I thought Theo was injured. Theo steadied me and led me to the bedside. Pulling away the blanket, he motioned for me to rest for a bit. "The person you saw was not me but my double, or the one you saw when you first entered the hospital." He explained to me, "It was deliberately done to confuse Alex, but I didn't think that he would actually open fire."

There was a hint of sternness in Theo's expression when he spoke till this point.

I knew that while he had all sorts of means when it came to business, he had always been kind in nature.

"We initially planned to have the

double go in and negotiate with Alex first. That way, we could buy some time. Then, I would sneak into the hospital and take you two away Keith was responsible for picking us up downstairs. We'd be safe as long as we got you."

Theo paused. "As for the double, he's of no use to Alex. Considering his person, it was impossible that he would conduct lawlessness. That's why we didn't think too much of it."

Theo picked up the hot milk and handed it to me as he said this.

"It could have been that the people under him became hasty when they saw me leaving with you and actually opened fire."

I could tell that there was another meaning hidden in Theo's smile.

"But don't worry, he wasn't hurt too badly. Keith managed to send him to the hospital in time after that. The doctor said he would be fine after a period of recovery."

My heart that was suspended in mid-air finally eased.

Theo continued, "After that, we also quickly made a police report. The one who opened fire has been apprehended. Since Alex is afraid of getting into too much trouble, he left the country the night after.

My face was expressionless. I did not even bother sneering internally.

This was practically expected. What would such a person do apart from running away?
