The Woman From Hell

Chapter 9 “Theowy, I want to drink some water…” Even though it was painful for her, Cindy did not forget her

lines. “Are you dead? Why didn’t you pour her some water?” After Theo pressed the button on the bed,

he turned around and shouted at me. His eyes and expression were terrifyingly dark. If it were not for

Cindy who was still in his arms, he would have eaten me alive. I lowered my head and did not say

anything. Although it was not my fault, this matter was ultimately related to me. I was the one who

provoked Cindy and made her feel uneasy. That was why she had hurt herself to prove her place in

Theo’s heart. She did not even need to prove herself. Everyone knew how much he treasured her!

Mason rushed over shortly after. A large group of people surrounded Cindy and started treating her

burns. I quietly left the ward and walked out of the hospital. The rain was not as heavy, but it was still

drizzling. Since I was not allowed to appear at the funeral, I had no reason to go to the old mansion

anymore. However, I still took a taxi to the Grant family cemetery in advance. Grandmother was my

benefactor, and she treated me like her own granddaughter when she was alive. I had to go to send

her off on a final journey. There was a small hill in the Grant family’s cemetery. It was said that the

ancestors of the Grant family had especially sought out a master to find this strategic location that

would help maintain the prosperity in the family. The ancestors of the Grant family were all buried here

and watchmen were guarding it. As it was still early, there were only a few workers who had come to

prepare in advance. Grandmother’s grave would be next to Grandfather’s. I found a small bush that

was higher on higher ground. This way, I could avoid being seen by Theo and send Grandmother off in

my way. I sat on the wet ground in a daze and thought about my situation. Thinking of Theo’s indifferent

attitude towards me, I felt uncomfortable. At four-thirty in the afternoon, Grandmother’s ashes and the

Grant family members gradually arrived at the cemetery. Grandmother was a person of great virtue and

prestige when she was alive. Other than the members of the Grant Family, there were also countless

other people from prestigious families in Salt City that came to attend. The vast crowd had no end.

However, I still saw Theo in the long queue. He was always like a crane in a flock of chickens, and his

black clothes made him look even more handsome. Theo was pushing a wheelchair. With a closer

look, I saw Cindy was sitting in it! He brought her along! He brought her to attend such an event today

because he could not wait to introduce Cindy to everyone. Although her feet and hands were wrapped

in thick gauze, and she looked a little exhausted, Cindy’s eyes could not contain her excitement. Haha,

indeed Cindy’s sacrifice was worth it. He did not leave her behind but even allowed her to appear at the

Grant family’s funeral. She finally got her wish! My heart felt like it had been pierced by a needle. It hurt

so much that I could not breathe. Not wanting to look at the scene in front of me again, I turned around

and left the cemetery. I stumbled and my stomach churned. I could not help but throw up by a tree. I

was gagging for a long time, but nothing came out. Then I remembered that I hadn’t eaten anything all

day except the cold plate of pasta from last night. If I was alone, it would not matter if I had eaten. But

for the sake of the child in my belly, I had to force myself to eat something. I turned around and went

down the mountain. I walked toward the Grant family’s old mansion, which was close to the cemetery. I

planned to ask Miss Woods for some food before going home while everyone was gone. I stood

outside the mansion and looked at the tall building with tears in my eyes. This might be my last time

here. After the funeral, it would be time for me to fulfill my promise and sign the divorce papers. The

door suddenly opened from the inside. Miss Woods was surprised. “Young Madam, why are you

standing there?” I raised my head and smiled. “Miss Woods, is there anything to eat? I’m hungry.” “Yes.

Come in quickly. I’ll take you to the side hall.” Although I didn’t say anything, Miss Woods was clear on

what happened when I had appeared here at this time because she was someone who had been by

my grandmother’s side for many years. She took me to a deserted side hall. I forced myself to eat

something. My stomach felt much better in no time. Just as I was about to get up and leave, Miss

Woods took out a box and handed it to me. With a pitiful expression, she said, “This is what Old

Madam Grant left for you when she was alive. Keep it well.” After a pause, she continued, “The Old

Madam said that if the Young Master should ever force you to get a divorce after she departs from this

world, you should give this box to him. After he sees it, he’ll have some reservations and won’t divorce

you easily.” I looked down at the exquisite little box in my hand. It was square but firm. I couldn’t open it

at all. I looked at Miss Woods and asked, “How do I open it?”
