The Woman From Hell

Chapter 801 She took off her coat, shoes, and socks and walked barefooted toward the snowdrift. She seemed to be swaying with the cold north wind with every step she took.

Grayson looked at her, and even though his eyes were filled with pain, he did not stop her.

All of a sudden, I felt suffocated and my breathing beclaborious.

Everyone was punishing themselves in the way they were satisfied with. It was as though I should let the matter drop after they were done punishing themselves.

"What are all of you doing?" I asked in a calm tone.

I looked at Theo, who was about to freeze to ice, and clenched my teeth. "You know I love you and can't stand seeing you punishing yourself like this, so why are you still doing it? Why can't you just let the pain in my heart remain buried and insist on digging it out? Why are you forcingto tear my wounds apart and pull out all the bloody and rotten contents inside?" Theo's body trembled as he looked atwith a pained expression. "Other than doing this, I don't know what else I can do to help you let-" "Let go?" A mocking smile appeared on my face. "Are you hoping to seebe moved to tears and say that I forgive you? That I forgive you for changing my life and for killing our baby by mistake? What if I don't forgive you? Will that makethe most narrowminded person in this world?" Looking at Theo's complexion that was turning paler and paler, I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment. I said with much difficulty, "Can't I choose to not let go?" There was a choice to not bring this up again. As long as this was not brought up, I could pretend that none o f this had happened and spend the rest of my life with him peacefully.

Theo's lips were green and purple. He looked atand opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but did not know what he was supposed to say.

After a long silence, he lowered his head and let out a self-deprecating smile. "I've taken things for granted." I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down." Theo, I know you want to beg for my forgiveness and theirs. Then we can all live in harmony as if none of the bad things had ever happened. But do you think it's realistic to use this method?" The so-called atonement was not supposed to be done like this.

I looked at Petra, who was standing barefooted in the snow. I did not know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a very long time, I said, "Do you know what you're doing? You're using my sympathy to forceto forgive you. If I remain unmoved even after you're nearly frozen to death in the snow, I will seem narrow-minded and cruel. Everyone will despise me." After hearing what I said, Petra's complexion turned pale. The color of her lips lost their ruddiness.

I yanked off the plush coat from my body and handed it back to Cassey, saying mildly, "Thank you, but I don't need it." She pursed her lips and looked atwith a complicated expression. "Don't you want to cin withand take a seat?" I shook my head. "It's tI go back for breakfast." I turned around and left after saying that.

When I got back to the villa, the snowfall was heavier than before.

I went upstairs and entered the bedroom. I lay on the bed and pulled the covers over myself.

There was a knot between us. A dead knot.

How should one untie this knot? There was almost no solution to it.

After a night of heavy snowfall, Whaldorf City was covered in a blanket of white. Even the sunlight that streamed through the windows seemed brighter than before.

After lying on the bed for half an hour, I was still not drowsy. Hence, I put on a layer of clothing and went downstairs.

Theo had not cback yet. I did not want to call and ask about him.

There were two more hours until Munchkin left for kindergarten. I went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After making breakfast, I went upstairs and woke Munchkin up.

"Where's Theo, Mommy?" Munchkin askedcuriously when he noticed that Theo was not here for breakfast yet.

"He's not having breakfast with us this morning." I peeled an egg and put it in Munchkin's bowl. "Hurry up and finish your food. I'll send you to kindergarten after that." I had no idea how long it normally took to get from here to the kindergarten at normal driving speed, let alone when the road was slippery.

Therefore, I sent Munchkin to the kindergarten after breakfast.

We arrived at the kindergarten only to see that the gate was closed and there were no cars or people at the gate. Munchkin yawned and said helplessly," We're too early, Mommy." After saying that, he leaned in the seat and closed his eyes, trying to catch up on his sleep.

I smiled sheepishly. "Why don't you take a nap first and go in when it's almost time?" Almost half an hour later, ten minutes before class, I woke Munchkin up.

When Munchkin entered kindergarten, I sat in the car in a daze.

Was I supposed to head straight home? Though where could I go if not home? I felt a little helpless and started the car engine before driving back.

When I got back to the villa, Theo had not cback yet.

I pulled out my phone and was hesitating whether to give him a call or not when a news article popped up o n my screen.

When I saw Nadia's name, I clicked on the news.

I scanned through the article and played the video.

It was a video of a school bullying incident, and the bully was none other than Nadia.

In this digital age, humans would becmoral saints. They sympathized with the weak and despised abusers. Nadia was active on the inte, and because of her good looks and seemingly privileged life, she had gained lots of fans. She was considered a popular online celebrity.

Now that the news was out, she would probably disappear from the inte completely.

I returned to the hottest trending hashtag page and saw that my nhad disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Nadia's incident had helped divert many reporters' attention.

When it was near noon, Cassey cto see me.

She seemed like she was afraid of the cold as the down jacket she wore seemed particularly thick, ands e was the scarf around her neck. There were also gloves on her hands. She had wrapped herself up so tightly that she was practically airtight. She got in the house and took off her down jacket, patting off the snow on top of it. "It looks like Whaldorf City's roads are going to be sealed off." I took the down jacket from her and put it on the back of the sofa. I then poured her a cup of hot tea. "Have roads in Whaldorf City been sealed off before?"

She sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "There are many cars in Whaldorf City. There are There are alwaysm traffic jams even when it's not snowing, needless to say when it snows. So in the previous years when the snow fell, roads were sealed to avoid accidents." I nodded and remembered that there were fruits in the fridge. I was about to get up and get them. "I'll wash sfruits for you." "You don't have to." Cassey stopped me. "You don't have to do anything. I'm anxious to talk to you. You can serveafter that."

I knew what she wanted to talk about. I was resistant about it, m actually, but we were quite close. Now that she was here, it would be inappropriate forto avoid her. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked somewhat helplessly.
