The Woman From Hell

The pain in my leg rolled over like waves. Unable to hold myself up anymore, I fell over on the road.

"What's going on?" Theo immediately turned around and ran over to me after hearing my voice. "Why are you so careless?" He was looking at me with worried eyes. I was a little aggrieved. I lowered my head and remained silent.

Seeming to find me somewhat pitiful, Theo said nothing else, but his hands were still rubbing my red and swollen foot.

"It hurts." Theo was being a little heavy-handed.

"Bear with it." He pulled the leg that I tried to retract and rubbed vigorously.

It hurt really bad, but it actually go better after he rubbed it for a while.

"It doesn't hurt too much anymore. You can stop rubbing it now." I pushed Theo's hand away. I stood up with a stagger, wanting to leave.

However, my foot hurt again after just taking a few steps.

Seemingly having noticed my discomfort, Theo suddenly carried me. "I'll send you back."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He was about to carry me to his car and stuff me in when he said that.

The discomfort that I was feeling inside me kept me struggling. Afraid I would get hurt again, Theo could only put me down.

"There's no need for that," I answered him coldly but did not dare meet his eyes.

"You can leave first. I'll get Marius to pick me up."

Even if I did not want Marius, I could only call him at the moment to cut off Theo's thoughts.

"Alright. Wait for me there." Marius did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

Theo was standing beside me and could hear what Marius said. Still, he stood there and did not leave.

"Why aren't you leaving?" I asked.

"I'll leave when he comes."

I said nothing in reply. Theo did not move to ask anything either, so we just stood and waited for Marius to come to pick me up. Fortunately, Marius drove fast and arrived in the next few minutes.

Marius thought Theo was harassing

me again when he got out of the car and saw him. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab Theo's shirt.

I hurriedly stopped him. "Leave him alone. Let's go." I pried Marius' hand away after I said that and pulled him away forcibly. I did not once look at Theo. .

Seeing that I was limping, Marius carried me into the car.

Marius wanted to ask more when he saw my red, swelling foot but said nothing in the end when he noticed the tight furrow of my brows.

He immediately drove to the clinic without saying another word.

The old holistic physician gripped

my leg and looked over it for a long time before saying, "It's nothing

serious. You should just focus on et

resting in bed fo the next few days. Don't get up and walk around. give you a few medicinal band-aids. You should be able to recover soon."

With that, the old physician unfolded a piece of band-aid and stuck it on me.

The cooling sensation calmed my heart.

Seeing that I was fine, Marius voiced his doubts. "What happened?"

I told him everything about meeting the men in black and how Theo rescued me.

His handsome face was in a frown, and he said nothing for a while. He looked like he was thinking of something.

"You'd better leave Whaldorf City for a bit. They came after you even after you moved out. Just do it for the children." Marius looked at me worriedly.

"It's fine. I've already sent the children to a safe place. I need to stay here a bit longer."

I said with finality. Marius still wanted to say something, but he knew that I would not change my mind once I had decided on something. Helpless, Marius could not change my mind and could only keep silent as he escorted me back home.
