The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1276

His words touched my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes, which then flowed down uncontrollably.

I held his hand and sobbed. "I should be glad that you're okay. How else am I supposed to explain it to Liz? Your child is about to be born. How can you do things without thinking twice?"

Matthew raised his hand with much difficulty and rubbed my head, then said with a smile, "I can’t control myself when it comes to protecting you. Besides, I'm honored to be able to protect you and keep you safe. If something happens to you, then I'm afraid I won't be able to keep living."

I shook my head. "Don't say that."

I simply had no way of responding to his burning affection. The more he spoke, the guiltier I felt.

After a long time, I finally calmed down.

The doctor came over to check on Matthew as I stood nervously on one side.

"His body is fine, but we'll need to conduct further checks on his head to know if things are really okay. But from the looks of his mental state right now, he should be fine."

I was relieved to hear what the doctor said.

I had stayed up all night. Since my period was here as well, I felt both tired and sleepy.

When Laney came in and saw that I was not in good spirits, she quickly persuaded me, saying, "You should go back to your room and rest, Ms. Lane. I'll take care of Mr. Zimmer, so don't worry.”

'Okay.

I did not plan to go back to the ward. I did not like the hospital and could not sleep well in hospital wards. I might as well just go home and sleep.

There was a Rolls-Royce parked in front of the hospital’s main entrance. It was Theo's car.

Keith saw me walking out and rolled down the car windows. "Let me take you back, Mrs. Grant.”

I pursed my lips. "Have you been waiting here this whole time?”

Keith made no reply. "Please get in, Mrs. Grant."

I looked at the backseat and wondered if Theo was in the car.

It would be too awkward to face him now. Knowing what I was thinking about, Keith blandly said, "Mr. Grant is away handling other matters, Mrs. Grant."

I was very sleepy and awfully drowsy, but my cramps were so bad that I woke up not long after falling asleep.

Left with no other choice, I climbed out of bed and planned to look for painkillers.

After failing to find any, I pulled up the delivery app to order one.

After about 40 minutes, the delivery man arrived.

I took the painkillers, and my cramps stopped.

Seeing that it was already five o’clock in the evening, the time when Theo was supposed to come home, I went to the kitchen to cook.

I planned to cook him dinner as an apology.

As the water was a little cold, I felt my cramps returning when I washed the dishes.

When I finished cooking at half-past six, Theo was still not home yet.
