Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 140

Until the effect of the medicine wore off, the intense itchiness disappeared, but what remained was boundless agony.

"You might as well kill me," Madam Moore despaired.

Theo stood with his hands on his hips, looking down on Madam Moore with disdain. "Can't you bear this little pain? After all, you have thick skin and can endure this."

Madam Moore was stunned into silence by Theo's kingly aura that ruled over everything.

"Hmph, back then Thea was so young and had to beg everywhere, raising you, this useless mother. Do you know how many disdainful looks she received, do you know how many beatings she endured?"

Theo suddenly bent down, and the hot, moist breath blew into Madam Moore's ear. It felt as if the devil's sword was lingering on her throat. It didn't cause any harm, but it filled her with immense fear.

"Do you still remember, that day Thea desperately ran barefoot to escape from a bully's prank, and in the end, a steel nail pierced through the sole of her foot. But when she got back home, how did you treat her?"

Madam Moore's distant memory was brought back by Theo, and the scene of that day seemed like yesterday.

Thea returned home and actually saw the trail of blood behind her. Her tender feet were still oozing fresh blood. However, she had no words of comfort; her attention was solely on her empty hands. She frantically beat and scolded herself, but gained nothing.

Madam Moore shook her head desperately, wanting to cover up her mistakes. "I don't remember. I don't remember anything."

Theo straightened up, his tone filled with a sense of desolation and remorse. "Do you know how sad she was back then?"

Madam Moore's expression remained numb. "She is my daughter, shouldn't she help me with some things? Children from poor families have always worked hard since they were young. As for the things she encountered during her begging process, it was not me who brought them to her. She should reflect on why it was her who encountered those thugs, and not someone else."

Theo's handsome face suddenly turned ferocious, and he angrily grabbed Madam Moore's neck with one hand, saying, "A tiger does not eat its own cubs. You are even worse than an animal."

"Ava."

Ava, who had been standing by idly, immediately stepped forward and said, "Here you go."

Theo suddenly thought of something, let go of his hand, and smirked, "You help her, let her retrieve those fragments she can't remember."

Ava said, "Yes, sir."

She deliberately dressed up Madam Moore and then pushed her wheelchair out of the door.

Theo stood still for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He took out a disinfectant tissue, wiped the hand that had just touched Madam Moore, and disdainfully threw them into the trash can.

Then Theo lifted his foot and walked upstairs.

I knocked on Thea's door, and she almost instantly opened it.

Theo entered the room and saw that his favorite Longjing tea had already been brewed on the tea table. He couldn't help but smile charmingly and said, "Sister, you're treating me with such good tea? It's too extravagant." He looked as if it was a waste of precious resources.

Thea couldn't help but laugh and said, "It wouldn't be too much to serve my home Theodore with the best tea."

Theo smiled contentedly and said, "Since sister loves Theodore so much, I believe she will also agree to whatever Theodore asks, right?"

Thea joked, "So you were waiting for me here? I knew it, today this noble Mr. Theo would go through all the trouble to help me fight for justice and not get any appreciation."

Theo burst into laughter and said, "Sister, so are you agreeing or not?"

Thea stopped laughing and straightened her expression, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Theo exclaimed in distress, "It's not even my grandfather, yet he insists that I represent the Sanchez family and attend Mr. Caleb's birthday banquet."
