The Woman From Hell

I was looking at him, but Theo's gaze stayed on my wound.

He did not answer me.

He was not ready to answer me.

I lowered my gaze and did not ask again.

Neil returned after a while, panting. "He got away, but I'll find him. Don't worry." When he saw my injury, Neil quickly crouched down and asked, "Wanda, are you okay? You're bleeding. We have to deal with your wound." Theo pushed him away. With his side profile facing Neil, he said, "We don't need you meddling in our affairs. I'll look for that person just now."

Theo picked me up after saying that and went toward the entrance.

I looked back at Neil. He was standing there, alone as his eyes trailed in the direction we left. He looked so lonely that it made me feel sorry for him.

I redirected my gaze to Theo's face. The chill to his usual indifference was much more intense now as he exuded a ferocity everywhere. Even I dared not ask him any more questions.

He carried me to the car and fastened the seat belt over me. "You were drinking. Why not let me drive?" I was a little concerned about his condition.

Theo shook his head, his gaze much softer now. "I'm fine."

He closed the door and went to the driver's seat before glancing at me. "Let's go home."

I did not ask him about Neil as we made our way home. Occasionally, I would glance at him carefully. He seemed to have gone back to his usual, expressionless state, but he still exuded a coldness.

Did this mean he was no longer angry or should I endure a little longer and ask him again when we got home?

I straightened myself but accidentally rubbed my leg against the seat. The action scraped my wound, eliciting an exclamation from my lips. "Ouch!"

Theo turned to look at me when he heard me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I just accidentally touched my wound."

"Silly." The corners of Theo's mouth were hooked in an adoring smile.

Seeing the smile on his face, my mood brightened somewhat. "Did I have to hurt myself for you to be happy?"

f you do it again, I'll feel bad."

"If y

Theo rotated the steering wheel as

he said this. Although he was not looking at me when he said that, I could sense the intense emotions hidden in his words. It warmed me.

After we arrived at the villa, Theo carried me into the living room and deposited me on the sofa before going to fetch the medical kit.

"It's just a small wound, nothing serious. Just put on a band-aid."

Theo came over with the medical kit.

He lifted my foot and settled it on his leg. Under the light, the wound was a ghastly sight. I was not able to see the injury clearly in the dim light outside just now. It looked a tot

more severe now.

His movements were gentle as he was afraid of hurting me. "It's going to hurt a bit when I disinfect it. Please endure it a little." "Alright," I replied gently.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Theo took out a cotton swab, dipped it into some alcohol, and wiped itzon my wound, The moment the cotton came in contact with my wound, my entire body abruptly straightened as a hiss escaped me.

It felt like a knife cutting through my flesh.

Theo's movements became even more gentle when he heard me wince. He blew onto my wound as he wiped the cotton, easing quite a bit of the pain. Theo..."

"Hm?" He looked at me with a query in his eyes.

I gulped. I wanted to ask him about that issue with Neil just now but did not know where to start. "Right, so..." Theo looked away and went back to tending my wounds. "You want to ask me about what happened just now?" "Yes. Can I?" My eyes scanned Theo as I asked tentatively.
