Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 151

At that moment, Thea's mind went blank.

She no longer had so many worldly concerns. She held Theo tightly, and with some unknown strength, her small body pushed through the crowd, pulling Theo away from the turmoil.

Her ears were filled with the furious shouting of her ex-father-in-law and ex-mother-in-law. The ex-mother-in-law's voice was like a tearing scream, roaring angrily, "I married you for thirty years, I devoted my dowry, time, and energy to you without reservation, and what did I get in return? I got your betrayal. I could forgive you for kicking me out of the house, but you shouldn't have wickedly plotted against our son, making him work for your illegitimate child and then kicking him out of the company. How could your heart be so cruel?"

Alaric's face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled as he spoke, "Don't be impulsive. Listen to me, Nathan is also my son. How could I treat him like that? Don't worry, I will give Nathan a lot of money to start afresh. With his intelligence, he will surely make a comeback."

Alaric's inconsistent statements left Mrs. Hill devastated. "But you clearly said that the Hill Group would always be part of Nathan. And now you're letting him start anew? You really have been deceiving me..."

She no longer believed Alaric, and she vigorously poured the sulfuric acid in her hand. The sulfuric acid splashed onto Alaric and his current wife, making a sizzling sound. Alaric screamed in pain. Of course, some guests were also affected by the unwarranted disaster. After being splashed with sulfuric acid, they fell to the ground, wailing.

The dance floor instantly turned into a battlefield, emitting horrifying screams.

Thea didn't have time to sympathize with the injured crowd on the dance floor; she just carried Theo and walked towards the parking lot outside.

Half an hour later, Thea took Theo to the hospital.

The doctor took off Theo's shirt and diagnosed his injuries.

Thea stood by the side, and when she saw the injuries on Theo's back: the muscles corroded by sulfuric acid, about the size of a palm, flesh and blood blurred, revealing white bones. One can only imagine how painful it must have been. Tears welled up in Thea's eyes.

Theo's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Seeing Thea cry so sadly, he instead felt sorry for her.

"Sister, I wasn't hurt." He wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but his weak voice betrayed him.

Thea reached out her hand and gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Theodore, who made you save me?" she couldn't help but blame him.

Theo said, "Sister, even if it meant getting hurt for you, I would willingly risk my life."

Thea cried so hard that she was out of breath. "You're so foolish. How can a pampered and privileged scion like you endure such hardships? I'm different from you, I've been beaten since I was young, and even had holes in my waist. This kind of pain is normal for me. Who asked you to shield me from disaster?"

Theo felt sorry for Thea, and his eyes instantly turned red. "Ah... If I had known that you had such a difficult past, I should have come to find you earlier. From now on, I won't allow anyone to make you suffer."

Thea didn't know whether she felt sorry for Theo or was moved by him, but suddenly she threw herself into Theo's arms and burst into tears.

"My life was worthless, I didn't deserve you to be so kind to me."

"No nonsense," Theo rarely lost his temper. "Have you ever considered that while you belittle yourself, you are actually a precious gem in someone else's heart?"

Thea was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a word for a while.
