Chapter 416

After a while, Theo lay beside me.

I frowned. I was about to go berserk when his low voice rang out. "I won't disturb you. I'll just

accompany you here quietly."

"Whatever.” My tone was icy-cold.

I wanted to quickly fall asleep, but I had just woken u p. How was I supposed to fall asleep again so

soon? Just lying here and not doing anything made my brain think of just about anything and

everything.

I thought about my baby who died and Cindy's baby who also died. I never wanted her baby to die

as well. No matter how wretched the baby’s mother was, the baby was innocent.

I thought about Cindy and came to the conclusion that she did not think babies were innocent. She

did not feel any remorse for killing my baby, so why should I feel guilty for the death of her baby?

"This isn’t." I bit my nails. "How can I think like this?"

Theo sat up halfway and asked quizzically, "What are you mumbling about?"

I took a deep breath. "I thought you said you’ll be quiet?"

"I didn't hear you clearly, so I was just asking..." Theo did not finish his sentence before he started

pulling his hair in frustration. "Whatever, I'm not going to talk anymore."

He lay down again and I got out of bed to look for some sleeping pills in the bedside cabinet.

I needed to sleep right this instant. If I did not, I would go berserk. Only when I was asleep would I

not have t o think of anything.

"What are you looking for?" Theo asked with a frown.

"Sleeping pills." My voice was quivering. "Where did you keep the sleeping pills?"

"In the first aid box."

He paused and asked again, "What do you want to do with the sleeping pills?”

"I want to sleep." I got up and started aggressively pulling my hair. "Stop asking so many questions.

Just stop talking, okay?"

Theo's expression sank.

I broke down and started wailing. "I beg you, just let m e be alone for a while. Please, I beg you!"

Theo quickly got out of bed and wrapped me in his arms. "Calm down, Wanda. I’ll bring you to see

the doctor.”

"I don't want to go to the hospital!" I was so agitated I felt like there were a million ants crawling on

my heart. "Theo Grant, my request is so small yet you can't even fulfill it? Just get out, please?”

Theo was so worried he started screaming, "How do you expect me to leave you alone when you’re

acting like this?"

"Theo Grant!” I kicked him in a frenzy.

Theo allowed me to beat him up. "Wanda, just control your emotions a little. I’ll bring you to the

hospital now. You’ll feel better after seeing the doctor.”

"I don't want to!" My emotions came flooding like water from a broken dam.

Theo wanted to reach out for the phone on his dresser. He could not hold me back with one arm. I

struggled away from him and ran toward the door.

I did not know where I wanted to go. I just knew that I had to go someplace where there was no one

else, somewhere with peace and quiet.

I opened the door and bumped into Miss Woods. I lost my balance and fell to the floor, but I could

not get back up. All I could do was stare emptily at the space i n front of me.

Theo rushed out after me and squatted before me. He held out his hand. "You wanted sleeping pills,

right?"

I looked at the pills in his hands, grabbed them, and desperately stuffed them into my mouth.
