The Woman From Hell

“Does Mrs. Grant not know? Mr. Hendrick is very famous and has been developing his business in

Whaldorf City. Countless rich and powerful ladies had tried to buy a bowl of his soup. I did not expect

that I would be able to drink it today, thanks to President Grant. I did not live for nothing!”

President John looked satisfied.

Before long, the door was pushed open, and the waiter served all the dishes. Unlike the traditional type

of banquet, which was mostly seafood and meat, the table was filled full of green food, but the

arrangement was very particular. Similar t o the garden, each dish looked exquisite i n terms of form

and color,

At this moment, an elegant voice spoke from outside the door. “Theo, I have been brewing the soup

you wanted for four hours. Let Mrs. Grant drink more.”

man she had met in the backyard earlier. Behind him were the little girl and a young and beautiful lady.

The lady should be his wife.

“You are Mrs. Grant?” He looked surprised

I smile and nod.

“You two have met?” Theo frowned and asked in a deep voice.

“We bumped into each other in the backyard just now. I have to thank Mrs. Grant for saving my

daughter.” The man smiled calmly and turned to his wife.” The waiter served the wrong dishes. Bring

out the soup I made in the pot.”

“Is that soup not for pregnant women? So Mrs. Grant is…” The madam looked at me and suddenly

understood.

However, before she could finish her sentence, her husband interrupted her. “I told you to go, so go.

Why are you talkings o much nonsense? Do you know better, or do I?”

look, and turned away.

Theo looked at me with an unreadable expression. I panicked and quickly said,” You have not

introduced me to the owner yet.”

Theo then turned around and introduced the man to me. It turned out that this man was Mr. Hendrick

whom President John was mentioning. His name was Cain Hendrick, and he was Theo’s high school

classmate. He came from a family who studied medicine and was currently developing his business in

Whaldorf City.

This time, I was asked to come with Theot o have my body examined.

I did not know what Theo was thinking. I was very nervous and worried that Cain would spill the beans

about me. Unexpectedly, he just smiled and did not say anything.

Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that I had gotten away with it, Madam Hendrick came in with a

pot of soup. She smiled and said, “Mrs. Grant, I see that you are pregnant. This soup is the most

suitable for you. It is especially good for the development of the fetus. Drink more.”

The room fell silent, and Theo’s gaze turned cold. I panicked and looked at Cain for help. Since he did

not mention my pregnancy, he must have guessed that something was wrong

“My wife knows very little. Mrs. Grant just had a miscarriage and even faked her pregnancy. She made © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

a mistake in her words. Please do not take it to heart. She had hit your sore spot,” Cain said without

changing his expression.

No one said anything. Madam Hendrick looked puzzled.

Cain continued, “Theo, do not worry. I will prescribe some medicine for Mrs. Grant to replenish her

body. You are still young, and it will be easy for you to have another child.”

misjudged you. I am sorry, but please eat. I t will not be as good if the dishes turn cold,” Madam

Hendrick understood and quickly tried to smooth things over.

Everyone stopped talking at the end and I started to eat the food. Because I had something on my

mind, I could not eat properly.

After the meal, President John left first. Theo chatted with Cain for a long time and only got up to say

goodbye when it was almost dark

Before we left, Cain took out a few packets of medicine and passed them to me. Cain smiled and said,

“Mrs. Grant, your body is a little weak. These are the medicinal cuisine packets that I had specially

prepared. When you bring them home, add them to a stew. It will greatly help your body recover.”

What Cain gave was good medicine that was beneficial to the growth of the fetus. I nodded my head

with gratitude. Theo seemed to have something to say, but he ended up saying nothing. He left after

bidding farewell to Cain and his family.

Back in the car, Theo’s face was dark and emotionless. I did not know what he meant by his emotions

and did not dare to speak

I knew very well that he had brought me here today to ask Cain to help me nurse m y body. It turned

out that the sentence he said, “You owe me a chilld’ wasngit a remark sail in dirunkenness. He truly
