Terence pushed Rena's arms away from him. He then abruptly shoved her away. His thin lips tightened as he frowned, but he didn't say anything.
He turned around and quickly walked out of the ward. "Terence!" Rena called after him. But he didn't look back or stop.
Terence was sullen. As it turned out, Theo also heard the news and came to visit Rena today. Suffice it to say, he was somewhat surprised to see Terence coming out of the ward. 'Isn't he supposed to be with Carla?'
"Hey, Terence, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Rena?"
Theo was puzzled. Rena was one of the girls he had been acquainted with for a long time ago. As a matter of fact, he was the one who introduced Rena to Terence when they were out at dinner one day.
Although they weren't very close, they were still acquaintances. So it was only right that Theo should visit Rena at least once since he heard that something bad had happened to her.
However, to Theo's surprise, Terence grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall. "Theo, what did you say to me before, huh? You told me that Rena was outgoing and cheerful. She was sophisticated enough to date casually so she would never do anything stupid. Then what the hell is she doing now?"
Initially, Terence was casually looking for a random woman to date and use as an excuse. He needed someone to accompany him to public occasions and business events. He also wanted someone to irritate Carla and make her jealous. Although, ultimately, he just wanted someone around so he could refuse his father's orders and avoid getting in trouble with him.
Who would have known that she would cause so much problems?
"What? Uh, uh… But I don't even know what you're talking about! You know that Rena and I don't know each other very well. When I introduced you to her, she seemed to have a good character at the time. You also said that you were looking for someone casual, so I thought I would match-make and introduce her to you. I don't know how she suddenly became like this!"
Theo protested strongly, with a look of innocence.
"But, well, don't worry. I'm here okay? I'll keep an eye on her for you and make sure that she doesn't do anything crazy. Everything will be okay!"
Theo couldn't help but reluctantly take responsibility for Rena. He inwardly shuddered when he looked into Terence's furious eyes.
What was Theo thinking? He must have been drunk when he introduced Rena to Terence, even though he had acted selflessly at that time. When Terence said that he was looking for a female companion to ward off familial troubles, he thought of Rena only because she seemed well-rounded and not clingy. But who would have known that she would end up causing such a big trouble for Terence?
Hearing his words, Terence breathed deeply. He slowly loosened his grip on Theo's collar. He smoothed down his clothes and calmly walked out of the building.
He then returned to the Seaview Villa.
