The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 448
Chapter 448
I never received a reply to that text message. I started t o worry. It seemed that I had to make a tripto France soon. Otherwise, my year might not end well.
The incident in the hospital had made Theo swarmed with work. Even though the media had rushedto report the matter and he knew that I would surely hear of it, he chose to remain silent with me.Maybe h e thought that I would be helpless if he told me about i t.
That acknowledgment made me feel a little lost...
"Madam," Miss Zuri came up behind me and said softly, "A lady came to visit you."
I frowned and turned around. "Cindy?"
Miss Zuri shook her head.
Who else would it be?
I pursed my lips and said, "Let her in."
When Quinn came in, I felt somewhat surprised as this was the first time she had ever come here.
Besides, Theo and I knew nothing about her visit.
"Wanda, Theo's not at home?" Quinn asked.
I stood up from the couch and replied faintly, "He’s quite busy recently and spends little time athome. If
you want to meet President Grant, I'm afraid you'll have to replace him at Grant Corporation."
Quinn frowned a little. "Wanda, I'm here to look for you. Are you still angry at me for what happenedthe last time?"
I looked down and smiled. "You're overthinking, Quinn. I’m not that petty. Besides, I understandwhere you were coming from when I put myself in your shoes."
Quinn took my hand and sighed. "Wanda, I really hope you can understand and stop being mad atme. Back when you told me you fought with Theo, you looked like you would never forgive himagain. I was worried that you both would never have another child.
"I must consider the issue regarding our family's heir since I'm a part of the Grant family. Cindycame looking for me and insisted that the baby inside her was Theo’s. She even expressed howmuch she loves him. I couldn't possibly ignore it."
Quinn looked like a gentle woman at this moment, and she even spoke in a soft voice. Her wordsworked on me. I sighed and said helplessly, "Quinn, we’re family and there's nothing that'sunforgivable between us. Besides, I've long stopped being angry at you.”
"That's good." Quinn smiled in relief.
I poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. I smiled while asking, "Did you come here today totalk about
this?"
Quinn leaned back on the couch and let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did I realize that shelooked exhausted. She had gotten a lot thinner than the last time I saw her. Her skin was no longeras delicate either.
"Wanda, there's a favor I need to ask from you." Quinn began talking about her purpose for cominghere." You know that the Zimmer household only has a small number of people to begin with, but
we’re down by two now. Matthew and I are the only people who are left to deal with the funeralmatters. On top of that, we can't leave the office, so that's why I hope you can give me a hand."
I was taken aback but said, "There's nothing I wouldn't do to help my cousin."
I wanted to help Matthew. Quinn's position in the Grant family was too insignificant. She must haveencountered a lot of difficulties while handling Marcus and Nancy's funerals. Matthew had not evenrecovered from the pain of losing his parents yet he already had to busy himself to arrange for theirfunerals. The thought of it was heart-wrenching.
Quinn smiled and nodded. "Then you should move to the Zimmer household and stay with me forconvenience sake. Just take it as though you're keeping me company. I’m alone in that huge housenow and I feel very lonely.”
Looking at her expectant eyes, there was no way that I could reject her.
Just as I opened my mouth and wanted to agree, she hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry aboutTheo. I'll talk to him. Besides, he's been so busy lately and has no time to take care of you. I’ll takecare of you well there. He can be less worried."
I hesitated for a long while before nodding.
It looked like there were no major issues, but I still felt that something was off. As for what waswrong, I had n o idea.
