The Woman From Hell

Chapter 752

"I understand," I responded wearily.

Perhaps he was really worried about me, so he clenched my hand for a very long time and sighed. He looked at the doctor and said, "Let's wrap it up here today. I'll bring my wife over some other time."

The doctor looked at me. "Better not be too long."

Theo's gaze dimmed. "Okay."

After taking me out of the hospital and getting into the car, I realized how gloomy Theo’s expression was. I asked with a bitter smile, "Am I a hopeless case?"

He smiled lightly, his slender fingers falling on my face as he said in a warm and tender voice, "Don’t think too much. Maybe you're just too stressed lately. When Keith is done with his work, I'll have him come over and prescribe some medicine first."

He sounded more like he was comforting himself. I fell into a long silence.

After returning to the villa, we headed straight for the bedroom.

I was tired, so after changing into my pajamas, I climbed under the covers.

Not long after that, Theo lay down as well and

embraced me tightly from behind as though trying to merge my body with his.

We lay quietly, neither of us saying a word.

Perhaps it was because of his presence that I felt a great sense of security and fell asleep not long after that.

Unsure how long I had been asleep, I woke up to the sound of Theo talking.

I opened my eyes and saw him on a call on the balcony. He did not speak loudly, though it was loud enough for me to hear.

"She's just too tired and stressed lately." There were suppressed emotions in his voice. I did not know what was being said on the other end of the phone.

His silhouette looked a little lonely and insistent. "No, I'll take good care of her."

"I won't send her for therapy because that will force her to face her deepest fears and the pain she’s most reluctant to touch. I don't want her to break down completely.”

After a pause, he continued, "When I met her again in Zenon, I knew after a few interactions with her that she was merely burying all her pain in the deepest part of her heart, sealing them up. This is all because o f Munchkin. Therefore, as long as Munchin is around, she’ll get better."

I got up and walked to the balcony. I could hear the voice on the other end of the call now. It sounded like Xander's voice.

Xander sounded a little anxious. "Theo, you're not the only one who loves her, and don't think that you’re loving her the right way. Do you know how dangerous i t is that you're putting her life on the line for a child? I think you already know this, but right now, just the thought of Munchkin leaving her has caused her condition to deteriorate to such an extent. What if Munchkin actually leaves her side one day? How can she possibly survive?”

There was a stifling silence in the room. Theo's back was shaking slightly. After a very long time, he said in a deep voice, “I'll not let things progress to that point."

Xander knew that it was impossible to reason with him, so he said discouragingly, "Theo, you're hurting her."

Theo seemed to not want to say anything else and removed the phone from his ear and hung up.

I stood behind him and watched his broad back. There was a stifling sensation in my heart.

This was how it was. It turned out that I was the only one unaware when everybody else was aware. My condition was not cured. Munchkin's existence made me think that I was.

When he turned around and saw me, his expression changed. "You just woke up?"

I cast my eyes down. "Are you going to work now?"
