The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1948

They both turned to look at me as they halted. Marius' gaze looked a little more panicked when he saw me walking over. He patted Marius as if signaling him to talk to me.

I was a little puzzled looking at how they were acting. "What’s going on?"

Drover smiled at me, then waved his hand. "It’s nothing. I'm just going to my office. I see you're up."

"Yes, yes, we’re going to Drover’s office." Marius was obviously just echoing Drover.

I rolled my eyes slightly and looked at them. Something looked off about them, and I frowned. "Did you hear something?”

"Hear what?" Marius was uncomprehending.

Catching his surprised gaze, I gave up. "It's alright. You guys go on, then."

"Alright, we’ll be back later. You should focus on resting," Drover said before leaving with Marius.

I only had Theo in my mind, so I went browsing the internet again, but there was no news.

How could there be no news for so many consecutive days when it was a living, adult person we were talking about?

However, I had no choice but to wait.

Time passed slowly, and noon came in the blink of an eye.

I had something simple for lunch, then I watered the garden. Looking at the flowers made me feel better.

Suddenly, the ringing of a mobile phone broke the quiet atmosphere. It was a call from Shannon. She had been comforting me a lot these days and was helping me keep an eye on news about Theo. It was still inconvenient for her to go out because of her impending due date, so she could only remain at home.

Thinking that she might have heard some news, I answered the call in a hurry. "Shannon, is there any news?"

"Wanda, Theo is back!"

Their conflicted expressions made me uneasy.

"Forget it. I’m not going to wait for you to tell me. I'll go and see it for myself." After I said that, I was about to head out, but Drover held me back.

"Wanda, I think you'd better not go." Drover held me back, and he spoke in a low voice.

I looked at Drover, then at Marius. He also nodded to me and told me not to go. "Yes, don't go, Sis Wan. You’ll be sad if you do."

Sad?

The more they were being like this, the more curious I was about what had happened. I shook off Drover's hand. "I'll go myself. Don't follow me!"

I hurried forward, started my car, and drove out...
