Chapter 1096

Theo suddenly grabbed my arm. I tried to pull it back but could not do it.

"Where’s the ointment?" he asked mildly.

I saw him staring at the part where my hand was scalded and said with a faint smile, "It’s fine. Thewound has nearly recovered now."

Theo frowned and took me into the villa.

My bag was placed on the sofa. He walked over to take out the ointment from my bag, applying theointment to my hand.

He looked up at me. "Does Jordan apply it better than me?"

How could I possibly reply to this question?

When he was done applying the ointment for me, I looked at him and said, "It's getting late. Youshould go back."

"Are you chasing me away?"

I gently sighed. "Are you planning to stay here, then?"

"Am I not allowed to?" He looked like a scoundrel at this moment.

I was a little speechless now. "Whatever."

Seeing that he did not plan to leave, I ignored him and turned around to go upstairs.

Jordan would come back after sending Shannon home anyway. He could keep staying here if he didnot feel awkward.

After going back to my room and washing u p, my stomach was hurting more than before. I felt veryweak, so I planned to go straight to bed. 1 completely forgot about Theo.

I fell asleep not long after laying down.

It rained in the middle of the night and I forgot to shut the windows. The cold breeze entered thewindow and I woke up freezing.

I wrapped myself in the blanket and planned to get out of bed to shut the windows when the splittingsound of thunder boomed in my ears and a flash lit u p the room. I was startled and started breakingout in a cold sweat.

Although I was not as scared of thunder as I used to be, I was still a little afraid.

I was in a hurry to shut the windows, but because I was not wearing my shoes, I accidentally trippedand crashed heavily to the floor.

A sharp pain was felt in my knee and I gasped.

I attempted to stand up but my knee was hurting too much and I was unable to stand up after tryingfor a long time.

Another lightning flashed, and the wind gushed into the room even fiercer. It was easy to feel afraidin such an environment.

I had no way of switching on the lights or shutting the windows. Fear made my heart beat faster.

A strike of thunder boomed in my ears again and I covered my ears, screaming uncontrollably.

Like a raging wave, fear kept coming at me until it swallowed me up completely.

I cowered and trembled, my consciousness started getting blurry.

I could hear the sound of a baby's cries in the dark, and terrifying images started flashing throughmy mind. I was gradually breaking down and started screaming because I could not bear it.

"Are you okay, Wanda?” A man's voice rang out in my ears.

I screamed in horror. "Don’t touch me!"

"Don't be afraid, Wanda." I felt myself being pulled into a warm embrace.

“I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of.” Words of comfort entered my ears, and the thunderoutside the window gradually stopped.

I calmed down and looked up.

The lights in the room had already been switched on and it was a little glaring to

look at.

I looked at the window. The curtains that were blown around by the wind were tied u p and thewindows were closed. I was put i n a trance, as though everything that had happened earlier wasjust a dream.

However, the man in front of me made me realize that it was not a dream.
