Chapter 25
I closed my eyes instinctively. If this slap could help him ease his hatred, I was willing to take it.
In the end, the slap did not happen.
He said hatefully, “Wanda bane, you sure have guts!” With that, he turned around and left.
Looking at his back I sighed. This ending would be the best for everyone.
“Theo will hate you forever.” Mason’s cold voice could be heard from the door.
He came in with my medical record and checked on my current condition. He said calmly, “The truth will come to light eventually. This trick of yours will not last long. With his ability, he will find out very soon.”
“By the time he finds out, perhaps the
baby will have been born already.” I sat up on the bed and took the medical record from Mason. I looked at it and said, “I have to thank you for your help this time!”
“It is the first time I betrayed my brother, and I cannot believe it is for a woman like you!” He mocked himself.
“You meant well. Theo will surely understand.” Putting the record away, I got ready to get out of bed and leave.
Mason stopped me and looked at me.” You have to continue putting on this show. At least you have to stay in the hospital until tomorrow morning.”
He was right. If I headed back now,
Theo would kill me in a fit of anger. It would be safer to stay in the hospital for
now.
I laid back on my bed and looked at Mason. “I am afraid Theo will check on the medical record. Just be careful to
not let anything slip.”
