The Woman From Hell

Theowy, I want to drink some water..." Even though it was painful for her, Cindy did not forget her lines.

“Are you dead? Why didn't you pour her some water?” After Theo pressed the button on the bed, he

turned around and shouted at me. His eyes and expression were terrifyingly dark.

If it were not for Cindy who was still in his arms, he would have eaten me alive.

I lowered my head and did not say anything. Although it was not my fault, this matter was ultimately

related to me. I was the one who provoked Cindy and made her feel uneasy.

That was why she had hurt herself to prove her place in Theo's heart.

She did not even need to prove herself. Everyone knew how much he treasured her!

Mason rushed over shortly after. A large group of people surrounded Cindy and started treating her

burns. I quietly left the ward and walked out of the hospital.

The rain was not as heavy, but it was still drizzling.

Since I was not allowed to appear at the funeral, I had no reason to go to the old mansion anymore.

However, I still took a taxi to the Grant family cemetery in advance.

Grandmother was my benefactor, and she treated me like her own granddaughter when she was alive.

I had to go to send her off on a final journey.

There was a small hill in the Grant family's cemetery. It was said that the ancestors of the Grant family

had especially sought out a master to find this strategic location that would help maintain the prosperity

in the family. The ancestors of the Grant family were all buried here and watchmen were guarding it.

As it was still early, there were only a few workers who had come to prepare in advance.

Grandmother's grave would be next to Grandfather's. I found a small bush that was higher on higher

ground. This way, I could avoid being seen by Theo and send Grandmother off in my way.

I sat on the wet ground in a daze and thought about my situation. Thinking of Theo's indifferent attitude

towards me, I felt uncomfortable.

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Grandmother's ashes and the Grant family members gradually arrived at

the cemetery.

Grandmother was a person of great virtue and prestige when she was alive. Other than the members

of the Grant Family, there were also countless other people from prestigious families in Salt City that

came to attend. The vast crowd had no end.

However, I still saw Theo in the long queue. He was always like a crane in a flock of chickens, and his

black clothes made him look even more handsome.

Theo was pushing a wheelchair. With a closer look, I saw Cindy was sitting in it! NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

He brought her along!

He brought her to attend such an event today because he could not wait to introduce Cindy to

everyone.

Although her feet and hands were wrapped in thick gauze, and she looked a little exhausted, Cindy's

eyes could not contain her excitement.

Haha, indeed Cindy's sacrifice was worth it. He did not leave her behind but even allowed her to

appear at the Grant family's funeral.

She finally got her wish!

My heart felt like it had been pierced by a needle. It hurt so much that I could not breathe.

Not wanting to look at the scene in front of me again, I turned around and left the cemetery. I stumbled

and my stomach churned. I could not help but throw up by a tree.

I was gagging for a long time, but nothing came out. Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything all

day except the cold plate of pasta from last night.

If I was alone, it would not matter if I had eaten. But for the sake of the child in my belly, I had to force

myself to eat something.

I turned around and went down the mountain. I walked toward the Grant family's old mansion, which

was close to the cemetery. I planned to ask Miss Woods for some food before going home while

everyone was gone.

I stood outside the mansion and looked at the tall building with tears in my eyes. This might be my last

time here. After the funeral, it would be time for me to fulfill my promise and sign the divorce papers.

The door suddenly opened from the inside. Miss Woods was surprised. "Young Madam, why are you

standing there?"

I raised my head and smiled. “Miss Woods, is there anything to eat? I’m hungry.”

"Yes. Come in quickly. I'll take you to the side hall."

Although I didn't say anything, Miss Woods was clear on what happened when I had appeared here at

this time because she was someone who had been by my grandmother's side for many years. She

took me to a deserted side hall.

I forced myself to eat something. My stomach felt much better in no time.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, Miss Woods took out a box and handed it to me. With a pitiful

expression, she said, "This is what Old Madam Grant left for you when she was alive. Keep it well."

After a pause, she continued, "The Old Madam said that if the Young Master should ever force you to

get a divorce after she departs from this world, you should give this box to him. After he sees it, he'll

have some reservations and won't divorce you easily."

I looked down at the exquisite little box in my hand. It was square but firm. I couldn't open it at all. I

looked at Miss Woods and asked, “How do I open it?”
