The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 807

Why should everything be brought to light?

Mother once told me that the happiest way to live was by muddling through life.

One had to know how to forget and let go, then look forward and determine whether one would be happy.

I let out a self-deprecating smile. "Different personalities, I guess.”

Some people loved getting themselves into a dead end. I was one of those people.

At nine at night, I received a call from Petra.

The woman on the other end of the call was choking with sobs. She sounded like she was holding back her pain. "Wanda, it's... Mom."

What was my state of mind?

I never examined it closely. There was a slight pain in my chest. This was not resentment or anger, it was just helplessness.

How was I supposed to face her when she had caused the loss of my child?

I never found an answer to this question.

After a long time, I asked, "What is it?"

I tried my best to control the tone of my voice. I sounded neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.

She sighed weakly on the other end of the phone. "If you don't wish to see me, then I'll not force you. But you have a long way to go in the future. No matter what happens, don’t do things that you’ll regret. Theo and I are both at fault. We’re not in the position to blame anyone. You're the only one who can make a judgment. I hope you can both think it through and live a happy life together.”

I fell silent and made no reply. It was not that I had nothing to say but it was because I saw the man who had just walked into the study.

It had only been a little over ten hours since we last met, but the man's face was pale and his dark pupils looked powerless and sickly.

"I’m hanging up," I said into the phone.
