Anger, hate, and indifference were the emotions displayed on his face. His eyes widened as he glared at me, threatening to tear me apart and crush me to dust at any moment."Theowy, my leg hurts," Cindy cried loudly.Theo ignored me. He turned around, carried Cindy, and rushed out.I sat still rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do!"Miss Lane, your hand is bleeding!" Heidi exclaimed when she entered.It was only then that I realized that my right hand was still on the porcelain piece. Blood was coming out from my hand! I raised my hand, and there were many small porcelain pieces embedded into my wound.“That is a lot of blood. Does it hurt?” Heidi helped me up and carefully removed some big pieces of porcelain pierced in my palm."It is alright." It hurt very much, but compared to the hurt in my heart, the pain in my hand was nothing.“Wanda, is it worth it for you to go through all this?” Heidi asked me cautiously with tears in her eyes. She had been with me for three y
Ignoring her antics, I leaned quietly against the doorframe and watched them. My face was expressionless."There are no external injuries. Let us go and take an X-ray scan to see if there are any injuries to your bones." Mason stood up.Theo carried Cindy out while Mason followed.“Doctor Mason, can you help me bandage my wound first?” I asked in a gentle tone as I watched them leave.The blood was still flowing from my hand. No one cared about me, and I could not ruin myself just because of both of them.Theo stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me with a frown. He said to Mason, "You stay here."Mason did not say anything. He turned around and took out some tools. He then gently pulled out the remaining porcelain pieces from my wound using a tweezer before cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging the wound.As expected of a famous doctor, his movements were skilled and gentle."Miss Lane, the wound is very severe. To avoid infection, it is best to take some antibiot
"Theowy, I want to drink some water..." Even though it was painful for her, Cindy did not forget her lines.“Are you dead? Why didn't you pour her some water?” After Theo pressed the button on the bed, he turned around and shouted at me. His eyes and expression were terrifyingly dark.If it were not for Cindy who was still in his arms, he would have eaten me alive.I lowered my head and did not say anything. Although it was not my fault, this matter was ultimately related to me. I was the one who provoked Cindy and made her feel uneasy.That was why she had hurt herself to prove her place in Theo's heart.She did not even need to prove herself. Everyone knew how much he treasured her!Mason rushed over shortly after. A large group of people surrounded Cindy and started treating her burns. I quietly left the ward and walked out of the hospital.The rain was not as heavy, but it was still drizzling.Since I was not allowed to appear at the funeral, I had no reason to go to the ol
"I do not know how to either. But the Old Madam said that the Young Master knows how to open it." Miss Woods shook her head, looking troubled.I kept the box and thanked Miss Woods before leaving.Miss Wood's voice spoke out behind me. "Young Madam, you do not look too good. You must take care of your health. Before Old Madam passed away, she had always spoken about you and wanted you and Young Master to have a child soon. The Grant family's bloodline is in your hands now."At the mention of children, I could not help but stop in my tracks. I raised my hand to wave at Miss Woods and left without looking back.Grandma had three sons. The eldest son, Eastin, had a daughter. The second son, Sam, had chosen to not have any children with his wife. The third son was Theo's father, Nord. He passed away with Theo’s mother in an airplane accident when Theo was three years old.Although the Grant family had a big family business, they had very few family members. Grandma had always hoped th
I instinctively pulled back and closed my eyes. I dared not look him in the eye anymore. He reached out his hand to hold my chin and forced me to look at him. He then spoke up in a cold tone, “How dare you ask me that, you coldhearted woman?!” “...It wasn’t me.” I did not dare to struggle against him despite my face hurt from the way he held me. Cindy Reed was hurt. He would eventually ask me to pay for it. “How dare you deny what you’ve done? Wanda Lane, did you think that I wouldn’t dare to get a divorce just because you have that box?” He asked mockingly. His voice was icy cold. I was stunned. Theo found out about it so soon. “I didn’t smash the vase against her head. I didn’t splash her with water either.” Although there was no need for me to explain myself, I still felt like telling him everything. I felt slightly bitter as I told him, “I don’t want to open the box that grandmother gave me, nor will I use it to keep our marriage. Theo Grant, I promise you that we wi
I was taken aback by her words. I knew that she did it on purpose, but I could not stop the hurt from her words. I gripped the railing of the stairs tightly. My knuckles turned white from the force of me holding onto it. After some moments, I calmed myself down and turned around slowly. I then tried to say something. “Are you hungry? I can cook something for you.” Theo interjected, not giving me a chance to speak. He smiled while looking at Cindy. “Sure, sure. Theo, I want to have some of the fish cooked by you.” Cindy ignored me and looked at Theo with a joyous expression on her face. “Alright. Why don’t you watch some television while you wait for me? It will be ready soon.” I turned around and headed upstairs. I closed the door to shut out the noises from the living room. After returning to my room, I sat in front of the window wall. It was a hot day, but I was feeling so cold that I was trembling. I wrapped my arms around my knees and curled up on myself. .......
It was not easy for Theo to manage Grant Corporation. For the sake of Theo, I got up and said, “Fine, Miss Reed. What would you like to eat? I’ll buy them for you.” Cindy listed down a bunch of dishes straight away. I frowned and refrained from saying anything. “Please stay for lunch too. I’ll be back soon,” I told Mason, who was seated on the sofa. He had helped to change the dressing for my wound earlier. I should thank him. Because of my hand injury, I did not buy any ingredients to cook. Instead, I packed dishes from a few renowned restaurants in the city. It was almost afternoon when I returned home. As I entered the gate, I heard conversations coming from the garden. Theo and Mason were talking. It took more than two hours to return home from the city. I did not expect Theo to come home. “Her hand is slightly inflamed. You should not have gotten her to take care of Cindy,” Mason said. I could not help myself from turning around and looking into the garden.
He did not say anything and was staring at me silently. I could not help but feel nervous with the proximity of his angular and handsome face to me. The air inside the room seemed to have thinned out. I got up to open the windows. Suddenly, he pulled me into an embrace and wrapped both of his arms around me and held me tightly.“Theo Grant.” Although I did not know why he behaved this way, I did not like being hugged like that. Although I struggled in his arms, he still did not let go. The sharp stench of alcohol rose to my nose. Theo was drunk again. “Let go of me. I’ll pour a cup of water for you,” I spoke softly. “Will it become hate?” He asked as he hugged me tightly. I did not understand what he meant and could only look at him in confusion. His lips were slightly apart, and his dark eyes were quite dilated and out of focus. It seemed like he was heavily drunk. I did not understand how he managed to find her even in such a state. “Will it change?” He did not g
