The Woman From Hell

Chapter 396

I clenched my fists and lowered my head.

I never really wanted the child in Cindy's womb to die. To be honest, I was feeling guilty about it. Iwas a life, but I ended it.

As if Tyler was able to read my mind, he grabbed my hand and said slowly, "You’re not the one whokilled the baby."

"I was the one who told you to show her the photo." I was the mastermind behind all this—the realmurderer.

Tyler furrowed his brows. He put his hand on my head and turned my head to face him. "Wandy,look into my eyes. Listen clearly to what I’m going to tell you.

"Cindy hurt you. Do you think I'm going to let her get away with it? If it isn’t because you’re too soft-hearted, the child in her womb wouldn't be the only casualty. I wouldn't have used such a gentlemethod either."

The coldness in his words sent a shiver down my spine.

"So you don’t have to feel guilty." The corners of Tyler's lips lifted. "In fact, Cindy should be glad thatyou have a kind heart. Otherwise, she would’ve died tragically with the baby in her womb.”

The corner of my lips twitched. "Tyler, you have quite a skewed worldview."

Tyler smiled disdainfully. "What’s the correct worldview, and what's the wrong one? Who will be ableto differentiate it all?"

I had no idea what to say. I remained silent until we found a seat in the restaurant.

Tyler sent me back home after lunch.

I realized now that the only reason he showed up was that he found out his number had beenblocked on my phone. He did not know why, and he felt uneasy, so he came looking for me. Thatwas all.

Back at the villa, I got changed and went to the living room to watch television.

I suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since Jerome called me. I could not get throughto Cecelia’s phone either. I was getting restless and could not stop worrying.

Just then, Theo came back. I walked over to greet him. "I'd like to visit Cecelia in the countryside."

Theo raised his brows. "Have you called her?"

I shook my head.

"Give her a call first." Theo untied his necktie and sat o n the sofa. "It'd be better to give her a callbefore we g o."

I thought so too. I took my phone and called Jerome.

Soon, the call was answered.

I had no idea where Jerome was. It was noisy there. I furrowed my brows. "Go somewhere quiet."

"It's alright. I can hear you. Just tell me what's wrong,” Jerome shouted.

I let out a soft sigh. "I'm back in Salt City. I'd like to visit Cecelia and her baby in the countryside.Send me her location."

Jerome kept quiet for a long time.

I frowned. "Shen Chen, are you still listening?" 2

"I am," Jerome began to talk vaguely, "But... But we’re i n France now."

I was surprised. "Why are you in France?"

"We went to travel. We'll be back after some time. Probably around the end of the year. I’ll bringCecelia and her baby to look for you in Whaldorf City."

I was pissed. "Why didn't you tell me you were going t 0 France? And the baby is still young. Whydid you bring the baby somewhere so far to suffer in this winter?

"And why can’t I get through to Cecelia's phone? How long has it been yet I haven't even received acall from her. Tell me honestly, what happened to her? Are you beside her? Ask her to come on thephone."

I was so anxious that I started talking harshly. The words kept coming out of my mouth like amachine

gun.

Jerome let out a small sigh. "Wanda, just wait a little longer."

He hung up the phone after that. I lowered my head and stared at my phone. I felt suffocated.
