The Woman From Hell

Theo leaned over and kissedon the cheek. His smile seemed a little helpless. "I simply don't know what to do

with you. Let's go to the hospital sother day, then. We should grab our dinner now." In the next few days,

Theo was busy almost every day, so the hospital examination was delayed indefinitely.

Grant Corporation had to hold a lot of meetings at the end of the year. There were meetings about this year's

revenue, the development plans for the coming year, and the documents that Theo needed to go through.

Things piled up one after another. He left the house early and chlate almost every day.

| resigned from Fredericks Corporation but had to follow the resignation procedures. Thanks to Cally's help, the

resignation procedures were done very quickly.

Initially, Theo and | planned to invite Shannon over for a meal, but he was simply too busy. Neither of us knew

when he would have the time, so | decided to invite Shannon over myself.

Though little did | know, when | gave her a call, she had already left Whaldorf City.

| sensed that she had things to say toon the phone, but it seemed inconvenient for her to do so. Hence, she

gave up in the end.

Carson was found innocent, so he was released and allowed to go home.

He was getting older and older and loved to have company. He called us as soon as he was released, inviting us

over to have a meal together.

When Tyler called me, | promised him that Theo and | would go over on Saturday night.

| asked him about Susan on the phone, but he seemed reluctant to talk about it, so | did not press him on the

matter.

On Saturday afternoon, | tidied up the house and changed into warm attire. | then left the house, driving straight

to Grant Corporation to wait for Theo to get off work so we could go to the Schumans' place together.

When | got to the entrance of the company and stopped the car to give Theo a call, he did not answer it. | then

called a few more times but he still did not pick up.

| figured he must be busy, so | did not continue calling him and started browsing videos on my phone in the car.

My phone suddenly vibrated. There was a notification from WhatsApp.

I clicked it and saw that it was a text from a number that wrote:

Michelle: [Hi, Wandy, this is Michelle Cobalt.]

Wandy?

Although Tyler liked callinglike that, it had been so long since | last heard it. | found it hard to get used to

being called like that all of a sudden.

| replied.

Wanda: [Hello, nice to meet you.]

Neither of us was very sociable, so after a quick greeting, she went straight to the point.

Michelle: [When are you coming over here? I'd like to have a chat with you.]

| thought about it. | did not seem to have tto go back recently, so | replied.

Wanda: [I'm not sure yet. Did you run into trouble?]

Michelle: [No.]

She sent one word only and nothing else.

Michelle and | had only met once.

Although she gave off a gloomy vibe, it was strange that | did not find her annoying. Fate was truly amazing.

In addition to that, | found that someone like her who did not care about what others thought and just focused on

being her true self was really cool.

Bang! | heard the sound of a car door closing beside me.

| subconsciously took a glance and saw a car parked beside me. After recognizing it to be Theo's car, | opened

the car door and got out.

Theo was walking toward the car while holding a woman. They both looked injured. The woman was already

unconscious and must be quite seriously injured.

There was plenty of dust on Theo's blouse and an obvious scar on his face.

| rushed up to him and asked worriedly," What happened? How did you get hurt?"

Hearing my voice, Theo looked at me. After freezing for a while, he said, "Someone caused her to trip. Why did

you cover?" "Carlson has returned. Tyler invited us over for dinner."

| looked at the woman he was holding after saying that and recognized her. It was Thalia, the company's

receptionist.

Theo put her in the car and said, "Okay, but we need to take her to the hospital first before we go over."

| nodded and saw a man running toward us not far away. He looked like the man who proposed to Thalia the

other day. "I'll go with you, Mr. Grant."

He kept staring at Thalia who had fallen unconscious in the car as he spoke, his face filled with worry and

anxiety.

Theo nodded and hinted at him to get in.

Seeing the injury on his arm, | stopped him.

Theo froze for a moment, then looked atin confusion. "What's wrong?"

"You're hurt. Letdrive."

| climbed into the driver's seat after saying that and started the car engine.

Theo sat in the front passenger seat without saying a word.

| had a lot of questions, but seeing how quiet he was, | remained silent as well.

In the backseat, Thalia was still unconscious. It was hard to say if she was seriously wounded. The man holding

her was very anxious.

He rushed to call the paramedics as soon as we arrived at the hospital.

When Thalia was pushed into the ER, he went to pay her hospital bills.

Theo and I stood in the corridor. He remained silent the whole time, looking like he was thinking about

something.

It was already dark and no doubt freezing outside by now. As Theo had removed his coat to drape it around

Thalia, he only had a black blouse on at the moment.

| approached a nurse and asked her to tend to Theo's wounds, whereas | went to the nearby mall and bought

him a coat.

When | cback, | bumped into the man who was pursuing Thalia.

He called out to me. "Thanks for taking Thalia to the hospital today, Mrs. Grant."

He was probably overly worried about Thalia because he looked very sweaty and wretched.

| smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to thank me. It's what | should've done."

After a pause, | could not help but ask, "Can you tellwhat happened today?" The man nodded his head.

"Amelia's brother cto the office and tried to injure Mr. Grant, but Thalia stopped him. He looked like he had

gone insane and no one could stop him. Mr. Grant was worried that something would happen to Thalia, so he

brought her out from the basement garage. I'm sure Grant Corporation is still in chaos right now."

He gave a clear description of what happened, so after learning about it, | becconfused. Was Anthony not in

Limbia this whole time? Why did he suddenly cback and give Grant Corporation trouble as soon as he came

back?

| looked at the man and nodded with a smile. "Thanks for everything today."

| carried the shopping bag to the inpatient department. Theo's wounds had already

been treated. Thalia had hit her head, but the injury was not serious. The wounds on her body were only minor.

Seeing that she had not regained her consciousness, | asked the doctor with concern, "When will she wake up,

doctor?"

"She has a mild concussion and shock. It may take a few hours for her to regain consciousness." The doctor went «

to the door to give the nurse instructions after saying that.
