The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1993

I saw Nicky smile in a sinister manner. Putting on a posture of extreme comfort, she said leisurely, "Of course, it's so that I can do it myself."

I did not know where she got a dagger from, but she slowly walked toward me.

With every step she took, the smile on her face deepened.

Although it was just a dagger, it looked especially intimidating under the moonlight as if it were shining with cold light.

I felt a little frightened and stepped back.

Seeing my movement, Nicky laughed out loud sarcastically. "So, you do know fear. It looks like you really do have the desire to live."

My eyes followed the knife in her hand closely, for fear that she would swing the knife down in haste.

"You've already got your wish. Why are you still trying to hurt me?" I asked her.

Nicky glanced at the two people behind her, her eyes narrowing. "Go outside and stand guard. Sound an alert immediately if you notice movement."

"Understood."

The two men disappeared from the second floor immediately after receiving the order.

Only the two of us were left here, and Nicky's eyes fell on me again. "You're asking me why I want to hurt you? Don't you know why?"

I frowned, not understanding what she was saying. "I don't understand."

She laughed coldly, and it was terrifying. "Theo is already an amnesiac from his injury, yet he still has feelings for you. It's so strange."

When Nicky said this, I realized that it was Theo's attitude toward me the past two days that made her anxious. She was thinking about getting rid of me as soon as possible to avoid future complications. "But he still obeys you."

"As long as you're still here, it's only temporary. With you here, you'll only restore his memory bit by bit. I can't let such a thing happen! Don't even think about succeeding with me here Nicky's gaze was hard and a ferocity flashed in her scarlet eyes.

If I were alone, I would have the guts to fight her, but I was now pregnant. If I were to be careless the moment I acted... I could not imagine the outcome.

Looking at her, I figured I could only buy myself some more time by keeping her calm.

"Nicky, if you lay your hands on me, they'll be defiled. If your acts are discovered, not only will you be separated from Theo, but you'll also have to go to court. Are you sure you still want to hurt me?" I knew that she valued living with Theo the most, which was why I said these words.

After hearing what I said, Nicky's face softened a little, but she still had not put down the knife in her hand. "What you said makes sense. I can't throw my life away just because of you."

Her gentle voice gave me a little peace of mind. Her voice raised again in the next second, however. "But I've already drawn this knife. can't just put it away without drawing blood. How about this? I took a knife for your child before, so why don't you pay me back now and let me slice your face?"

"That was something that you arranged yourself. It has nothing to do with me, Nicky. If you lay a finger on me today, I promise you the consequences will be serious." attitude was no longer soft. I

consequences.

Nicky's eyes widened. The smile on her face froze, and she looked at me with a grim expression. "You dare challenge me? The fact I dare to bring you here means that I have already figured out how to deal with your corpse. No one will know you died here."

First, she said it was not worth throwing her life away for me. Now, she was saying she would have me die here. How could this woman's words be so contradictory?

"Okay, do it, then."
