The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel 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."

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."
