The Woman From Hell

Chapter 92

In a daze, I simply stopped struggling and forced myself to sleep.

The next day when I woke up, it was already sunrise and Miss Woods reheated my cold breakfastfor me.

I looked around me but did not see Theo.

"Mr. Grant went to the company early this morning and told me not to wake you up. He wanted youto sleep more. You would want to sleep more when you’re pregnant. When I was pregnant, I wouldsleep for 15 hours a day and still thought it was not enough 99

Miss Woods started yammering about her previous pregnancy. They said that a person loved to nagwhen they grew older and loved talking about their younger days. Time was unforgiving. MissWoods was slowly growing old too.

After having breakfast, I went to the company. Heidi told me that the director had confirmed thateveryone would be leaving tomorrow, which meant that I would have to go on a business triptomorrow.

"Should I come with you, Ms. Wanda?" Heidi asked, looking at me.

"It’s fine. Stay here and prepare the first draft of the

acquisition report. I'll come back and revise it." There were too many people in the director’s teamand my presence was already considered redundant, let alone Heidi’s.

I bustled about with work the entire morning and when noon approached, I received a text fromMason t o meet at lunch. He wanted me to take the medicine h e had prescribed for me.

I agreed since I needed the medicine for my business trip.

When I arrived at the address Mason sent me, I learned that Theo was here too. However, heignored m e and sat there without speaking. His entire being was engulfed in a dark and gloomyaura.

I ignored him too and sat down at the table across from him. I said to Mason, "Dr. Lynch, I’m goingon a business trip for a few days. Will it be okay to bring these medicines with me?"

Theo’s gaze darkened but he still did not say a word.

"You're going on a business trip? Is it for a shoot?" Mason asked.

"Yeah, it’s an outdoor shoot so I have to go along." Theo took a bowl of soup from the waiter andplaced it in front of me. I did not refuse and took a sip. It tasted pretty sour and quite suited mytaste. It seemed to have been specially ordered for me.

"Where will the shoot take place?” Mason asked while placing some refreshing dishes in front ofme.

Theo's already grumpy expression grew even darker and sullen. The chilly aura exuded from hisbody caused the air pressure around us to drop.

"The South Sea," I responded succinctly.

"You have issues with digestion and sleep, so remember to take this medication with you. Take itwith water every morning and evening. It'll relieve your symptoms.” Mason darted a glance at Theoand said with a smile, "Don't worry, this will not affect the fetus in any way."

"Thanks." I lowered my head to finish the soup, saying no more.

As Theo had a gloomy countenance the whole time, I was not able to eat my meal peacefully. I tooka few bites before making an excuse and leaving.

Nothing much happened in the afternoon. I spoke to Cecilia on WhatsApp for a moment and toldher that I had already seen a doctor and received my insomnia prescription. Only then did she stopnagging me and promised to come back earlier.

Theo was not around at night. Miss Woods made a table full of nutritious food again. I felt like I hadturned into a pig recently because I was eating all the time.

After dinner, I went back to my room and sat alone on the balcony, gazing at the moon. There was aflash of inexplicable disappointment. My heart felt empty but I did not know why.

It was normal for Theo not to be home and I should have long gotten used to it. However, I wasconstantly worried about losing him and it made me really tired.

I sat on the balcony the whole night. Seeing that it was nearly two in the morning and thinking that Iwould still have to go on a business trip tomorrow, I forced myself to lay down.

When I finally drifted off to sleep, my phone started ringing. I rejected it irritably but the other partyrefused to give up and called again.

I rejected it again but the other party gave me another call. This happened a few times, which mademe tremendously irritated. I finally picked up the phone and screamed in a fit of anger, "You'd betterhave something urgent to say or I'll f*cking teach you a lesson.”

The other party was clearly startled to hear me curse and did not speak for a very long time.

"Speak," I ordered impatiently.

"It's me, Wandy. What happened to you? Why do you sound so terrifying?” Xander's cautious voicerang out.

Xander? I checked the time. It was four in the morning. Was this guy sick in the head?

"It's you? What’s up?” My voice was still full of indignation.
