The Woman From Hell
Chapter 916

Chapter 916

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the couple had a fight. Awkwardness suddenly lingered in the air.

Petra was an expert at livening up atmospheres and managed to resolve the awkwardness in just a few words.

Cassey and Caleb argued for a while before returning t o the hotel.

I asked Petra and Grayson to go back and get some rest too, but they insisted on staying back to keep me company. Seeing that my advice did not work, I simply gave up.

Although there were two beds in the ward plus a folding sofa, it was surely not as comfortable to sleep here as at home.

Though now that they were here, it was a lot easier for Theo to get up at night when the nurse came to dress his wound. I also got to sleep more.

The next morning, Grayson and Petra returned to the hotel.

I slept extremely well that night, and my complexion improved greatly.

The wound on Theo's arm was gradually healing, and

the doctor said that he was recovering really fast.

When it was almost noon, Cassey and Caleb came over to visit Theo.

Caleb expressed his worry about the airport being crowded in two days due to the festive travel period and that it would be unsafe for Cassey who was currently pregnant. Hence, he planned to take her back to Whaldorf City.

I persuaded Petra and Grayson to return to Whaldorf City too, but no matter how I persuaded them, they insisted on staying back to keep me company. After several failed attempts, I stopped persuading.

I must say that with them around, work was less heavy for me. At least, I was getting better rest every night.

The news that Bernard Lynch had passed away came just a few days before National Day.

He did not die of illness. It was because many of the industries under the Lynch were being investigated. Many were found to have violated rules and regulations, hence they were forced to close down. Coupled with Mason's incident, he grew too agitated and passed out, never to wake up again.

With the youngest son in jail and Bernard’s passing, the Lynches sank into chaos.

"The Lynches have taken over South Vasetine for so long. It's time they tone down," Petra blandly said.

I looked at her. "You know that too."

Petra poured me a glass of water. "What do you and Theo plan to do in the future?"

I froze for a moment and was a little puzzled by the question. I figured Theo and I were doing fine at the moment.

Seeing the puzzled look on my face, she said, "You're 3 0 years old, and it’s not a young age anymore.

Munchkin isn't your biological son, after all. Have you thought about getting one of your own?"

She had mentioned this to me once but I did not respond at the time. It was not that I did not want to answer her but it was because I did not have an answer.

I figured I probably had an answer by now.

Seeing that I did not say anything, she thought I had not figured it out yet and advised me, "I know young people like you think differently, but everyone wants t o live life peacefully and happily no matter how torturing it can be. As you grow older, you'd wish to have company, to have children and grandchildren. You raised Munchkin, and it’s not wrong for you to love him, but as a woman, you'll need to have a child o f your own in this lifetime or your life will be incomplete."

I deliberated her words over and over again, not finding them odd at all. After thinking about it, I said," We'll talk about having a baby when Theo recovers.”

Petra finally smiled. "Okay. While your dad and I are still in good health, we can take care of your baby for you."

I looked at the smile on her face and felt tremendously at ease. I thought that this was pretty good too.

When Theo and I had a child, he would grow up with Munchkin. Theo and I would watch them grow up, and we would live happily together as a family. That would be the happiest thing for a person.
