"Theo,” I called out to him. My voice was not very loud but it was loud enough for him to hear it from this distance.
However, he did not seem to hear me as he continued t o stand there.
I sat up from the bed. Just as I planned to get out of bed to go to him, he turned his head. His eyes were dark and deep, carrying traces of coldness. "You're awake?"
I nodded. "When did you come back?"
He did not reply and merely walked up to me in silence. He looked at me.
I was flustered by his gaze and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
He spoke slowly, his voice filled with coldness, "If it weren't for Munchkin, would you have left me without a second thought?"
I frowned. "What are you talking about?”
"You met up with Matthew?” he asked in an exceedingly calm voice.
Although he seemed calm, I knew he was exploding with anger.
I pursed my lips and explained, "I wasn't feeling very well so I went to the hospital to get myself checked. I ran into him at the entrance of the hospital."
He fell silent for a very long time before sitting on the bed and lifting his hand to stroke my hair. "Promise m e that you'll never see him again."
No matter how soft his voice was, I knew through my many years of being with him that he was very mad at the moment.
Moreover, Theo seemed especially terrifying when he was suppressing his anger in his heart like this.
Therefore, I could only nod my head in compliance. I tried my best not to infuriate him further. "I didn’t want to see him either. We happened to run into each other this time, so I had no way of avoiding him."
"I'll deal with it," Theo said in an icy tone.
My heart tightened. "What do you plan to do?"
"Wanda!" Theo's sharp eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't make me angrier."
I pursed my lips and said no more.
He touched my forehead and said blandly, "Your fever i s down. Take your pills after you have your meal later and get some rest. I'll come back earlier tonight."
I nodded. "I'll take care of myself. You go deal with work."
I would be suffocated to death if he did not leave.
After Theo left, Caroline brought the dishes upstairs.
After having my meal and taking my pills, I felt sleepy in no time. However, I could not sleep no matter what. My mind was in a mess.
Just two days ago, I had watched a short video about relationships. In the video, it was said that when a woman left a man when he was most in love with her, that man would love her forever. Otherwise, it would b e difficult to escape the ending where both end up in mutual distaste.
Although this was a saddening way to put it, it was not entirely wrong either.
Matthew was right. The Grants needed an heir of their own bloodline. It might be fine if I did not give birth in the next two years, but what about the two years after that?
Quinn would start to pay special attention to this and bring it up to Theo often. Perhaps she would even persuade him to divorce me straight away. I could not say for sure that Theo would not be unhappy with me.
No matter how close the bond between two people was, it would still be difficult to withstand the deliberate destruction that came from others.
