Chapter 899
The Woman From Hell
I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I put on the clothes that I had washed and dried last night.
I was worried about Munchkin, so after going out and drying my hair, I sat on the sofa in a daze. I
occasionally looked at Theo, rushing him. "Hurry up."
Someone came and brought Theo some clothes. He handed a shopping bag to me, saying, "The
clothes here are new. Want to put them on?"
I shook my head. "It's too much trouble."
When Theo was done changing, I gave Mason a call.
The call quickly got through. The man's weary voice entered my ears. "Wanda."
He sounded like he had not slept all night.
I took a deep breath and adjusted my mood, saying," I'll send you an address. Let's meet up."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, I caught Theo staring at m e with a deep and dark gaze.
I was stunned, then I asked, "What's wrong?"
"Let's go to the hospital first,â he said, lifting his hand t o brush away the loose strands in front of my
forehead to the side.
"Forget it." I subconsciously refused. "We should find Munchkin first. This is our utmost priority right
now."
Theo frowned. "Your health is equally important."
I took a deep breath. "I said, we should find Munchkin first."
I got up and walked to the door after saying that.
The man grabbed my arm, and I looked back at him with a frown. "Theo Grant! I just want to find
Munchkin right now."
Theo gently sighed, his tone filled with helplessness." I'll look for Munchkin. Just listen to me and go
to the hospital. When you're done checking, weâll find Munchkin together, okay?"
I looked at him, unable to suppress the anger in my heart any longer. "What do you mean youâll look
for him? Just because he isnât your son and he's someone you've never sacrificed for or loved, you
think itâs enough to say that you'll go and look for him?"
After a pause, I continued, "Do you think I can go to the hospital now and get my health checked
without a single worry? If I canât find Munchkin anymore, why would I even want to be in good
health? Theo, do you think it doesn't matter even if we lose Munchkin for good?"
Humans would say impulsive things when they were mad, and once such impulsive words came out
of my mouth, it would usually leave me with regrets.
However, the words that were spoken were just like water that had been poured out. They were
impossible to take back.
Theo's gaze turned cold, and even his tone turned extremely chilly. "Wanda Lane, am I such a
coldblooded person in your heart?â
I pursed my lips and did not say anything.
I knew that my words earlier had hurt him. Perhaps I should not have said such things, but I refused
to apologize.
I took a deep breath and said, "I'm leaving.â
My avoidance angered him further. Before I could take a few steps toward the door, he grabbed my
arm in a very sudden and forceful manner. He said in an icy voice, "Am I no better than everybody
else around you?"
He was truly enraged.
Normally, I would have softened my tone at this moment, but I had no idea why I just could not
control my emotions and brain today. Hence, the words that came out of my mouth were said
without thinking.
"Thatâs right. Everybody around me is more important than you. They are the ones I can't part with.
Munchkin, the Schumans, and even the Louises are more important than you. You're the only one I
can give up at any time."
I acted as if I could not see the pain in Theo's eyes and continued to hurt him. "Can you please let
go of me? I'm going to find the person I canât part with."
Theoâs pupils dimmed. I squeezed my eyes shut and continued to turn a blind eye. I shook off his
hand and left the hotel room.
It was only until I entered the elevator did I realize how hurtful the words I just said to Theo were.
I slapped myself and crouched down in exhaustion. How could I say those words without thinking?
