The Woman From Hell
Chapter 558

Chapter 558

"Theo..." I lowered my head and clasped my hands around it. "What I'm doing right now is nothing but torture for you. Can we just get a divorce?"

Between the two of us, I felt like I was the one with bigger problems. My emotions were unstable and I sometimes did not have the ability to deal with problems calmly, which led to meaningless arguments between us. It was a form of torture to Theo.

I did not want Theo to be the one to ask for a divorce i n the end because he could no longer tolerate being tortured by me. If that happened, I feared that there would not be the slightest bit of affection left between us.

"You're not torturing me." Theo sat on the bed and took me in his arms. "I know I'm not doing well in many things. You can point it out and I'll change."

After a pause, he continued, "If you want to do anything next time, just let me know. I'll not stop you from doing anything and put you on the spot. You can choose not to forget about Matthew, and you can also meddle in the Zimmer and Nietzsches’ affairs.

However, please don't put too much energy into those matters. Can we please lead a normal life from now on

with no more arguments?"

He was compromising. It was a complete, total compromise.

He was right; I was wrong. He wanted to solve the problems, yet I wanted to run away from my problems.

I was the one who was wrong...

Somehow, I fell asleep in Theo's arms and woke up only the next morning.

I was stunned when I woke up to a pair of smiling eyes.

I blushed and pushed the covers aside before getting out of bed to go to the bathroom.

I felt unwell after taking the medicine.

Theo suddenly pushed the bathroom door open and walked in. Our eyes met. One was smiling in a baffling manner, whereas another looked absolutely awkward.

"What are you doing?" Theo asked in an ambiguous manner.

"Nothing." I wanted to leave.

I hoped he would stop asking. I really did not want to tell him that I was stimulating lactation.

However, how could Theo possibly give up asking?

He grabbed my arm and stopped me from leaving. " Are you going to tell me or do I want to find it out myself?"

The secret was impossible to hide. I sighed helplessly. "Cecilia left a child behind and his development isn't ideal because he has only been drinking infant formula instead of breast milk. I’m trying to see if I can still..." i

I did not finish my sentence. I was sure that Theo would understand even if I did not say it out loud.

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose with a slight headache. "You went to see the doctor?"

I nodded. "The doctor said that it's still possible to produce breast milk six months after birth, hence I want to try."

If I did have some left, then Nimue would be able to drink breast milk.

"What did the doctor ask you to do?" Theo asked without a single expression.

I felt a little uncomfortable. "She told me to drink some lactation tea and take some medications, paired with massage and artificial stimulation."
