Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1137
Squeak!
The iron door of the old warehouse was pushed open with a piercing sound.
Neil pushed the door open and switched on the lights. He was in an abandoned warehouse filled with a moldy and rusty smell. The moment he turned on the light, he could see the dust particles in the air.
Neil furrowed his brows and covered his mouth and nose. He strode in.
The ground was covered in dust and hay. The dirty- looking Theo was being tied to an iron pole on the ground. His face was covered in dried -up blood and bruises.
Feeling the piercing light in his eyes, Theo instinctively cowered. After a while, when he saw that no one came to beat him up nor did the other person make any movements, only then did he slowly lift his head.
The moment he saw that it was Neil, his eyes brightened.
He opened his mouth and spat out in an extremely hoarse voice. “Neil…“
Neil sighed. He walked over, bent down, and cut the rope tying Theo. He said, “You better still call me Jake. Although I like this name, mother does not like it. You better not call me that in the future, in case she uses this as an opportunity to torture you.“
Theo’s gaze was a little emotional. He sighed and continued saying, “Jake, why are you here?“
“If I don’t come to see you, should I just leave you to die here?“ Neil rolled his eyes at Theo, then he took some food out of his backpack and stuffed it in Theo’s hands.
Theo, who had been starved for a few days, immediately munched on the bread. His eyes sparkled.
Neil sighed while taking the first aid kit out of his bag and disinfecting Theo’s wounds. He sighed a little and said, “Uncle Theo, weren’t you living quite well with us? Why did you try to escape and contact the outside world? Don’t you know that my mother… has a bad temper?“
Theo, who was eating bread, suddenly stopped.
After a while, he laughed bitterly, “Didn’t I tell you before, I have my own family.“
