The Woman From Hell

I had been to Susan's apartment before, and it could be said that I knew my way around this time.

I put the cradle somewhere I could see it then put in a clean underlayer. After that, I put Timothy and Wendy in and started cleaning the house.

No one had lived here for a long time, and the furniture was covered in dust. Just when I was about to change the water in the pail, the doorbell suddenly rang.

I walked over and looked through the peephole. A familiar face came into view.

It was Marius.

I gave it some thought before opening the door anyway.

"Sis Wan, why did you move away without even telling me anything? Is there something wrong with me? Tell me, I can change." Marius was standing at the door with eyes filled with hurt. His voice was trembling when he asked. I lowered my gaze. I did not know where to start.

"It's not because of you." I did not intend to hide anything from Marius. I did not ask him how he found out about this place either. I just said, "You remember how I said that I'm the reason Shannon got hurt, yeah-" Marius interrupted me before I could even finish. "Sis Wan, that's your own guess. There's no proof that you're the one who caused that car accident!"

Marius was really agitated and reached out to grab my shoulder.

His grip was a little strong, and I could not help but squirm. Marius noticed my pained expression and retracted his hands as if he had touched electricity. "I'm sorry, Sis Wan. I lost my composure for a little bit there." "I don't blame you."

I was the one who left without saying goodbye. The one who should be apologizing was me.

"While there's no proof, my guess is probably right. I'm the reason Shannon got into the car accident. It's a blessing that nothing bad happened. I can't just..." I paused and continued after calming myself down, "I can't drag you into this as well. You've already helped me with so much. I'll only be entrapping my benefactor if I don't leave. Not to mention you've already gotten hurt because of me."

I laughed. It was best that we parted ways.

Marius looked at me in disbelief. I was not aware that to him, my leaving was not something he saw as being better for him. He saw it as me abandoning him.

"That's why we should meet less for the both of us in the future."

""Not possible!" Marius refused.

He ran a hand down his face. Marius looked unrestrained now, dissolute. "Sis Wan, don't look down on me. Who am I? I'm Marius Klein. No one disrespects me after meeting me."

He tapped the ground with his toes. "Anyone who wants to hurt me will have to be capable enough to do so.

"So, Sis Wan, don't worry."

I looked at him and said nothing.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marius sensed my adamance and smiled wryly. Unable to change my mind, he looked inside the door and rolled up his sleeves. "Sis Wan, let me help you clean up."

The apartment was quite big, and I

did not manage to get much done after working on it for an hour. Understanding that I would not be able to refuse him, I stepped aside and opened the door.

Cleaning was much faster with Marius around. The house looked brand new by the time the sun had set.

Marius was lying on the sofa, tired. His hair and clothes were all messed up, and he looked different from when he first arrived.

One could tell he had given his all. Thinking about the groceries that had bought before I came, I figured that it would be unreasonable of me to not cook him a meal as thank yout

"Stay for dinner."

"Thank you, Sis Wan."

Timothy and Wendy were still deep asleep. I prepared two simple dishes, and after we were done eating, I sent Marius on his way. Standing at the large door, I looked at his back and said my thanks.

Marius waved his hand and did not look back.
