The Woman From Hell
Chapter 912

Chapter 912

I got up and poured a glass of water. I then found a straw and inserted it into the glass.

Theo bit down on the straw and drank almost half a cup of water. Seeing that his lips were moist now, I said, "Don't drink too much."

He nodded.

I put the glass of water on the bedside table and sat down on the chair to look at him quietly. "Does your arm hurt?"

Theo gave a faint smile. "I'm glad you’re okay.”

This man really had a knack for making me cry with his first words upon waking up.

I looked at him and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Theo, you're simply a bastard."

Theo sighed lightly. "Don't worry, it's just a small injury. It'll get better after I recuperate."

I looked at him angrily, "What’s a major injury, then?”

How could this be a small injury? He did not take his life seriously at all.

He smiled slightly and said, "I'm thirsty again." I was tempted to be a vicious woman and let him die of thirst.

Though when I saw his gentle eyes, I still picked up the glass. I felt both heartbroken and uncomfortable inside as tears unconsciously hit the back of my hand.

He saw that and could not help but sigh softly. "Why d o you have so many tears? Women shouldn’t cry all the time because you’ll get ugly from crying for too long."

I glared at him and spoke in a choking voice, "I’m already disfigured. I can't be any uglier.

"I don't need you to sacrifice for me. I don’t appreciate i t at all when you do that."

He gave a small smile. "I don't need you to appreciate me. Mason wanted to take revenge on me, and this is what I deserve."

I sneered. "I feel the same way."

Theo could not help but laugh. He touched my face with the hand that could still move. "You’ll always be beautiful in my eyes."

I pursed my lips. "You can ask the doctor to check on your eyes too later."

Theo laughed, then held my hand and said no more.

This was the first time his hand was cold.

He said, "I’m sorry, Wanda. I seem to have failed to be your hero. I failed to appear in time to protect you every time you were in danger, causing you to get hurt."

After saying that, he wanted to touch the scar on my face but I stopped him.

"The doctor told you to not move around." I put his hand under the covers.

The more he spoke like this, the more uncomfortable I felt. Tears started welling up in my eyes again. "I don't need you to be my hero."

When the corners of Theo's mouth rose up in a smile, his brows suddenly furrowed. I knew that his arm was hurting again.

"Does it hurt a lot?" I asked worriedly.

He shook his head and said softly, "I accidentally killed our child three years ago, and now, four years later, I almost killed you too. I know I was wrong. I'm also aware of the resentment in your heart. That’s why you sought Cassey and Tyler's help when Munchkin was in danger instead of relying on me. I understand. I didn't do a good enough job, so you felt no sense of security from me. That's why you can't trust me."

I opened my mouth to deny it but I realized that he seemed to be speaking the truth.

Unsure of what to say, I simply said, "Stop talking and close your eyes to sleep."

Theo smiled faintly. "But I won’t give up. Sooner or later, I'll become the person you trust wholeheartedly. I'll become someone you can’t bear to separate from."
