The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1096

Theo suddenly grabbed my arm. I tried to pull it back but could not do it.

"Where’s the ointment?" he asked mildly.

I saw him staring at the part where my hand was scalded and said with a faint smile, "It’s fine. The wound has nearly recovered now."

Theo frowned and took me into the villa.

My bag was placed on the sofa. He walked over to take out the ointment from my bag, applying the ointment to my hand.

He looked up at me. "Does Jordan apply it better than me?"

How could I possibly reply to this question?

When he was done applying the ointment for me, I looked at him and said, "It's getting late. You should go back."

"Are you chasing me away?"

I gently sighed. "Are you planning to stay here, then?"

"Am I not allowed to?" He looked like a scoundrel at this moment.

I was a little speechless now. "Whatever."

Seeing that he did not plan to leave, I ignored him and turned around to go upstairs.

Jordan would come back after sending Shannon home anyway. He could keep staying here if he did not feel awkward.

After going back to my room and washing u p, my stomach was hurting more than before. I felt very weak, so I planned to go straight to bed. 1 completely forgot about Theo.

I fell asleep not long after laying down.

It rained in the middle of the night and I forgot to shut the windows. The cold breeze entered the window and I woke up freezing.

I wrapped myself in the blanket and planned to get out of bed to shut the windows when the splitting sound of thunder boomed in my ears and a flash lit u p the room. I was startled and started breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Are you okay, Wanda?” A man's voice rang out in my ears.

I screamed in horror. "Don’t touch me!"

"Don't be afraid, Wanda." I felt myself being pulled into a warm embrace.

“I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of.” Words of comfort entered my ears, and the thunder outside the window gradually stopped.

I calmed down and looked up.

The lights in the room had already been switched on and it was a little glaring to

look at.

I looked at the window. The curtains that were blown around by the wind were tied u p and the windows were closed. I was put i n a trance, as though everything that had happened earlier was just a dream.

However, the man in front of me made me realize that it was not a dream.
