Anger, hate, and indifference were the emotions displayed on his face. His eyes widened as he glared at me, threatening to tear me apart and crush me to dust at any moment.
"Theowy, my leg hurts," Cindy cried loudly.
Theo ignored me. He turned around, carried Cindy, and rushed out.
I sat still rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do!
"Miss Lane, your hand is bleeding!" Heidi exclaimed when she entered.
It was only then that I realized that my right hand was still on the porcelain piece. Blood was coming out from my hand! I raised my hand, and there were many small porcelain pieces embedded into my wound.
“That is a lot of blood. Does it hurt?” Heidi helped me up and carefully removed some big pieces of porcelain pierced in my palm.
"It is alright." It hurt very much, but compared to the hurt in my heart, the pain in my hand was nothing.
“Wanda, is it worth it for you to go through all this?” Heidi asked me cautiously with tears in her eyes. She had been with me for three years and had seen many things.
I did not answer her because I did not have the answer for myself. All these years, I had been trying, but it was all in vain. Was it worth it?
Heidi did not say anything else. She took my hand and pulled me outside. “The wound is too deep. You need to go to the hospital.”
“I will go by myself. There will be a read-through of the script for the new movie. I will need you to go and supervise.” The blood kept flowing, so I had no choice but to find a clean towel to wrap my hand and hail for a taxi to go to the hospital.
Fortunately, the hospital was very nearby. Even so, the white towel around my hand was already dyed red with blood.
As I reached the entrance, I saw Theo carrying Cindy as he walked over.
"Wanda, why is there so much blood on your hand?" Just as I was about to pretend not to see them and lower my head to leave, Cindy's voice spoke.
I looked up. She was in Theo's arms, looking at me with a questioning expression as if nothing had happened in the office.
If she acted in films using her acting skills, she would likely win an Oscar award.
Theo glanced at me coldly and snorted before turning away.
