The Woman From Hell

We came to a large road after exiting the mountain road.

Theo said he was nearby, and after driving a certain distance, I saw several cars parked in front. It was probably them.

I stopped and got out of the car.

Theo was leaning against the car under the sun. The worry on his face was clearly visible. I walked toward him and called out his name, "Theo!"

Hearing my voice, he looked at me instantly.

He also came toward me on long legs and threw himself into my arms. I took in the familiar scent on his body, and my heart suddenly calmed down. I no longer had to worry about whether the pursuers would appear. It was over.

"Is everything okay?" Theo's voice was slightly low and hoarse. I looked at the dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days.

I shook my head and pulled out a smile. "I'm fine. How are the children?"

"Very good. I told Munchkin that you were on a business trip."

"That's good."

We could not let the children worry about this.

Theo stretched out his hand to touch my cheek. He felt my slightly pointed chin, and his handsome brows furrowed. "You've lost weight."

I was also aware that I had lost weight. After all, I had been blessed by that old hag, working every day and not getting enough to eat. Fortunately, I had gotten out now.

"You've lost weight too," I said lightly as I looked at his thin face. There was distress in my tone.

Both of us suffered every time something happened.

Theo took my hand, his eyes filled with guilt. "I'm sorry for not protecting you properly, Wanda."

"No, it's all an accident. Who knew Nicky would do it at the time?"

"She fled abroad, but I've already contacted the police. I'll catch her and bring her back no matter where she goes." Theo's tone was firm.

Behind me, Nina and Frank came one after another.

Seeing them, Theo tightened his grip on me, and his expression instantly returned to normal. "You are..."

"Don't worry, she's Nina. We spent time abroad together before. I didn't expect us both to be sent here... As for him, his name is Frank. He's from the village, but he's very kind. L wouldn't have been able to escape the village without his help.

After hearing my introduction, Theo's expression eased a little. He looked at Frank and nodded slightly at him. "Thank you."

He looked back at me. "Let's find a place to rest first."

"Alright."

There was a restaurant nearby, and we found a private room.

I told Theo everything that happened the past few days, and worry filled his face. "No wonder you lost so much weight."

"I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of the people in our village. But you must not forget what you promised me."

"What did you promise him?" Theo asked me.

"Theo, I think that village is very suited to be developed into a resort. So, I promised Frank that I would help him realize his wish if he helped me out. In addition, I don't plan to pursue the Fulmers for their treatment of me. But the Jams and the people they're working with should be punished for their deeds."

Hearing this, Theo nodded. "Since you've promised him, I'll find someone to evaluate this project as soon as possible. As for the others, I think the law will be the judge."

Frank looked at me. "You have such an amazing husband. No wonder you wanted to get out."

"He's one of the reasons. On the other hand, I have kids I can't leave behind."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Frank looked at me deeply after I said this. His eyes were dim and unclear...
