I did not know Theo could be this patient with me, but I could not feel moved about it at that moment. All I felt was annoyance. With all the emotions and pain I was experiencing, I could not be bothered about him.
I pulled my leg out of his palm, grabbed the tissue box on the bedside table, and threw it at him.
The tissue box hit his forehead. He looked up at me expressionlessly while I continued harshly, "Are you that shameless?”
Theo did not say a word. He picked up the tissue box o n the floor and put it back on the bedside table. After that, he got up, picked me up, and walked to the bathroom.
A strong sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of my heart. I looked at the ceiling listlessly. This time, I did not resist. It was probably because I was too tired, or maybe because I did not want to waste my energy.
Theo ran a bath and undressed me before putting me i n the tub. He did not stay and chose to go outside.
I let out a long breath and closed my eyes.
I knew I was just venting my anger out on Theo. After all, Matthew's death had nothing to do with him. At
the same time, he did not know why Matthew wanted Quinn dead, so he would not know how she was feeling.
It was just that I could not stand how indifferent he was about Matthew's death, so I took out all my selfblame and guilt, as well as my hatred for Quinn, on him.
The only person who deserved such harsh treatment was myself. I was the one who left Matthew behind and the reason everything ended up this way.
Half an hour later, I came out of the bathroom and glanced at Theo, who was smoking on the balcony. After that, I turned around and went into the cloakroom.
When I came out of the cloakroom fully dressed, Theo was no longer on the balcony.
I did not know where he had gone but I did not care. After that, I quickly left the room.
When I got to the staircase, Theo came up. When he saw that I was fully dressed and looked like I was about to head out, he frowned and asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
