The Woman From Hell

I tugged on the corner of his shirt and strained to speak, "I don't want to go to the hospital. I want to drink water." My throat was so sore that it was a little hard to speak.

It would not be good to visit the hospital so frequently when I was pregnant.

He poured me a glass of warm water, and after taking a few sips, my throat finally felt better. However, my whole body was still sore. My head was heavy and aching, feeling like it weighed a thousand pounds.

Theo seemed a little flustered. He fed me a few more sips of water before pulling out his phone to call Mason. "She’s having a fever and it's a little serious. Come here quickly."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom to grab a wet towel to place it on my forehead. He then wiped m y hands and feet with alcohol wipes. He was sweating all over and did not even realize it.

With the help of Theo's cooling methods, I felt much better and fell into deep sleep again. I did not know when Mason arrived, but I could hear voices beside m y ear.

"Why is she suddenly having a fever for no reason?

She’s really weak at the moment and her baby is growing. You should be extra careful." Like every other doctor, Mason blamed the family member for not being attentive enough.

After a very long time, Theo's deep and low voice rang out. "She was in the rain for almost an hour until I came home."

"You fought again?”

Theo fell silent.

Mason sighed. "I told you that her emotions are unstable. Coupled with all the things that have been going on recently, she has been bottling up her feelings without venting them out. I thought things would get better after you come back. Why did you fight again?"

"Let's talk outside. Let her sleep.” The sound of the door opening followed, and their footsteps grew more and more distant. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

My head was still dizzy, and I fell asleep again in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning. My first reaction was to reach out and stroke my belly. I felt at ease as soon as I felt the bump.

There was no one in the room. My throat was dry and bitter, so I got up to pour myself a glass of water. Yet who would have thought that my legs were too weak t o support my body and I could not help but fall as soon as my feet touched the floor?

In a panic, I quickly used both hands to grab onto the bedside table to stop myself from falling to the floor and hitting my belly. Due to the strength I exerted, the cup on the bedside table crashed to the floor, making a crisp and clear sound.

The sound alerted Theo, who came rushing in with the documents in his hands.

Seeing me half-kneeling on the floor, he frowned and carried me back to bed. He said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

"I thought I could do it myself." It was just a fever. I did not expect myself to be this weak.

"You’re always acting tough. As a woman, you need to learn how to be protected." He frowned and put a pillow behind my back so I could half-lay on the bed. H e asked, "What do you need?"

"Water," I said. My voice was still hoarse.

He poured me a glass of water and sat by the bed, feeding it to me. I wanted to refuse but seeing how displeased he was, I clammed up and drank in silence.

"I told Miss Woods to prepare some chicken soup for you. Drink some later."

I nodded without a word.

After drinking water, I felt much better. I leaned against the bed, my gaze falling on the documents Theo had tossed to the floor. It was about the new product release.

It seemed that Grant Corporation was operating as usual. After putting it on hold for so long, the new product release was finally going to be put on the agenda again.

My gaze dulled and I retracted my gaze, looking ahead in a daze.

He noticed my behavior and picked up the documents, handing them over to me. "The new product release will happen soon. Do you want to take a look at the proposal?"

Although I was reluctant, I had, after all, left the company. Hence, I looked away and said indifferently, "That's top secret. I won't look at it."

Since I left, I had to let go of everything. Grant Corporation was just an irrelevant company to me now.

"If you like this job, then come back after you deliver the baby. I am at fault too. I'm sorry." His voice was very soft, and his tone sounded sincere.

I thought he would not mention this incident anymore, yet who would have thought that he was actually taking the initiative to talk about it. All of a sudden, I did not know what to say and simply zipped my mouth.

In the face of my silence, he continued, "Mid-Nutri is yours. I plan to put this company to good use and it might even have a bright future ahead. However, it’s still yours in the end. If you don't want to go back to

Grant Corporation, go to Mid-Nutri then."

I peered up at him and said, "All of this wasn't just a coincidence, was it? You planned everything, right?"
