Chapter 444: Chapter 446

Chapter 445 When Thea came to visit again, Sir Harris was somewhat surprised. “Miss Fletcher, didn’t you just visit yesterday?”

Thea stood still in her place. Suddenly, she had a sudden realization: Jewel must have been here before, and Sir Harris had heard it through the grapevine, so he got the identity wrong.

Thea explained, “The other day, it wasn’t me who came. It should have been my cousin Jewel.”

Sir Harris revealed a trace of an elusive expression.

“Miss Fletcher, please wait a moment. I will go and inform them right away.”

Thea nodded silently.

When she heard Sir Harris leave, she joked with her colleagues, “Two sisters falling for the same boy, this is truly eye–opening.”

Despite their voices being very low, Thea, with her acute hearing, managed to catch every single word.

“If it were me, I would choose the youthful and radiant Jewel. I have heard that Thea has been divorced and had an abortion, no man should be able to accept a woman like that, right?”

“No. 13 never spoke to Thea whenever they met in the pas.. However, the other day when he was with Jewel, he spoke a lot.”

O Thea read a hint of malicious teasing in their subdued voices, and a shadow immediately cast over her eyes.

My heart, however, seemed to have been doused with a bucket of ice water.

All the heat in the body dissipated instantly, seemingly driven to the face, which burned hot.

Thea had even thrown in the towel and was not planning to visit Thorne.

When she was struggling and hesitating, Sir Harris came back.

“Miss Fletcher, he agreed to see you.”

Thea nodded silently, which seemed extremely restrained.

She didn’t come to her senses until she sat at the visitation window and locked eyes with Thorne.

“Hard work.” Thorne saw her exhausted and weary face, which she couldn’t hide, and felt sorry for her.

Thea stared at him blankly and said, “You... don’t have to be polite...”

Thorne squinted his narrow eyes and said, “You seem to be in a bad mood.”

Thea only remembered her purpose of coming here, her head was burning, and she just wanted to finish it quickly and leave as soon as possible.

“Theodore, I probably won’t come to visit you in the future.”

“You must make a good transformation and strive to come 14665 Chapter 445 out early.”

“If you encountered any unsolvable matters, you could have Sir Harris deliver a message to me. I would find a way to assist you.”

“On the day you were released from prison, Thea came to pick you up.”

Thorne’s tall body stood stiff as a rock. Thea and he deliberately avoided each other, their intention to create distance too obvious.

“Why didn’t you come to visit?” he asked.

Thea kept her head down, in fact, she had been keeping her head down all along. She didn’t want Thorne to see her face turning purple.

Thorne couldn’t bear to trouble her, he just let out a gentle sigh.

The desolation in the eyes was so intense that it couldn’t be dissolved.

“I knew it.”

Thea’s eyes were slightly moist. Didn’t this guy even try to keep her?

In the end, she was just being sentimental.

She stumbled to her feet and said, “Well, then I’ll go. Take care.”

Thorne watched her as she impatiently disappeared behind the visiting window, and a hot tear rolled down his eye.

He weakly turned the wheelchair and suddenly angrily pulled off his sunglasses and threw them on the ground.

Crimson eyes, overflowing with watery gleam.

“No. 13. What’s the matter with you?” Sir Harris ran over.

He looked at the empty window and sighed, “What did Miss Fletcher say to you?”

She was avoiding him.

Thorne’s handsome face was adorned with a self–deprecating smile.

The broken desolation was heart–wrenching.

Sir Harris patted his shoulder and consoled him with his worldly–wise notions, “She has done enough for you by reaching this point. She is now the Miss Fletcher of the Fletcher family, with a promising future. It is not good for her to be entangled with you.

People always seek benefits and avoid harm, so you should look at it positively.”

Thorne fell silent.

The tightly clenched fist slowly loosened.

Yeah, at first, he didn’t want to interfere with her future. But why did he become infatuated with her after she gave him a little taste of sweetness?

“You are right,” he laughed bitterly.

“Wishing her a bright future.”

“That’s right.”

Sir Harris changed the subject, “No. 13, I came to see you today because I needed your help.”

No. 13 refused firmly, “I won’t help.”

Sir Harris became anxious, “I haven’t even mentioned what the matter is, how can you refuse to help?”

“Not interested.”

His heart died.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

And then, there was no longer any attachment to this world.

Sir Harris persuaded him, “Listen to me, help me complete this task, and you will be able to earn merit and receive a reduced sentence.”

“I was doing fine in this prison.”

He didn’t want to go out.

Sir Harris was dumbfounded.

He finally understood. “I get it now, Miss Fletcher hurt your feelings, so you didn’t want to go out?”

“Ah, this was difficult.”

Sir Harris originally thought that Miss Fletcher had nothing to do with No. 13, which was actually quite good. It saved her from constantly bothering them with this and that.

Now seeing No. 13 return to his previous aloof and distant appearance, he realized that he had made a mistake.

“Or, shall I help you call Miss Fletcher back and ask her why she suddenly wants to avoid you?”

The cold eyes of No. 13 twitched slightly.

He suddenly looked up and said, “I want to see Jewel.”

Sir Harris took advantage of the situation and said, “Then you must help me with a task first.”

No. 13 hated being threatened the most. “Forget it,” he said.

Sir Harris compromised, “Alright, I’ll do it. But let me be clear, after helping you, you must help me.”

The Fletcher Manor.

Thea, after experiencing this setback, fell ill as soon as she returned home.

Feeling weak, had a prolonged low–grade fever.

The doctor conducted a full–body examination for her, but there were no issues found. Finally, the psychiatrist came to the conclusion, “Miss Fletcher has experienced a severe relapse of depression.”

William suggested, “Jade, let’s go on a trip to cure your heart. We will change the environment.”

Thea shook her head, there was no Theodore elsewhere.

Where was the fun?

It would be better to stay at home.

William had no solution for his daughter’s illness.

70 435 All the sorrow in his heart turned into a factor of hatred, and he wanted to crazily retaliate against those who had bullied his daughter.

Jewel came over in the evening, carrying a delicate fruit basket and nutritious items. Under the pretext of visiting her sister, she knocked on the door. William, being negligent, let her in.

William was broad–minded and always felt that the conflicts between brothers should not involve innocent nieces. Moreover, he had selfish motives, always thinking that his daughter was the only child, with a sensitive and melancholic personality. If Jewel, his niece, could talk to her, would his daughter’s melancholy be lessened? He didn’t know that Jewel was the source of Thea’s melancholy.

Jewel came to Thea’s room because the Fletcher family’s townhouse was designed as a mirror image, with almost identical layouts. When she saw that Thea was living in the large room that her parents used to live in, Jewel was dumbfounded.

So the first thing she said when she entered the room was, “Your room is really big.” This statement carried a hint of sourness.

“It was my dad who chose the room for me,” Thea said casually.
