The Woman From Hell
Chapter 458

Chapter 458

When Quinn heard what I said, she was incredibly pissed. She grabbed Theo's arm and saidangrily," Didn't you hear what she said? Aren't you going to say something?"

Theo looked at me, and his lips moved as if he was going to say something. In the end, however, hechose not to say anything.

It was good that he did not speak up for Quinn. Otherwise, I would have scolded him too.

When Quinn saw that he was not saying anything, she left in a huff.

After that, Theo and I went home. We did not say anything the entire way back. When we got home,I locked myself in the bedroom while Theo was smart enough to not follow me in.

I hid under the covers, curled up, and hugged my legs. My mind kept replaying the scene ofMatthew getting hit by a car and the image of him talking to me before he died.

Tears flowed from my eyes, and I felt incredibly remorseful. If I could have accompanied him a littlelonger and guided him, he would not have tried to kill Quinn. This tragedy would not havehappened.

Why did I care about what Theo thought and leave him alone?

Did I forget that he was the one who got me through the hardest time of my life?

No, I had not forgotten, but I had ungratefully chosen t o leave him behind.

I slapped myself hard before crawling out of bed from under the covers.

It was freezing cold outside, but I left the villa without a coat.

The coldness spread throughout my body. I lay down o n the snow, punishing myself. I looked at thedark sky and wondered if Matthew was also looking down at m e from above the sky.

Miss Woods came out of the villa and ran up to me. She urgently told me, "Young Mistress, why areyou lying in the snow in the middle of winter without a coat? Are you trying to get sick?"

"I don't care," I said bitterly.

"Nonsense." Miss Woods squatted down to help me up. "Come on, I'll help you up. You'll get sick ifyou keep lying there."

I pushed her hand away. "Don't worry about me."

I could only think clearer in the cold. If I was alone in a n enclosed space, I would just keep thinkingabout how Matthew looked before he died. I... I would go

crazy.

Miss Woods sighed and turned to leave.

Not long after, Theo appeared in front of me. He was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black suitpants which made him look extra serious. I indifferently looked away. "Leave me alone. I just needyou to let m e be for a while.”

Theo pursed his lips without saying a word. He bent down and picked me up from the snow.

I did not resist him because I had no strength left and my head was dizzy.

He carried me back to the bedroom and put me on the bed. He held my cold, ice-like hands andsaid in a cold voice, "Are you so sad that he's dead? Are you hoping t o go with him as well?"

"Are you saying that his death is not worth me getting sad over at all?" I questioned him back.

Theo's expression remained indifferent.

I suddenly realized that he indeed did not think Matthew's death was something worth being sadover. He might even be happy about it. After all, he had never liked Matthew.

He and Quinn were exactly the same-extremely selfish and self-centered people.
