Chapter 414

"Miss Woods..." I wanted to say something else, but I suddenly felt like there was no need to.

Hence, all I said was, "Fine, I’ll think about it. You can go ahead and do what you have to, Miss

Woods. I'd like to be left alone for a while."

Miss Woods knew she could not continue with the conversation, so she sighed and left.

I took the remote control from the table and turned on the TV. I did not know what to watch, so I just

switched to a channel showing an entertainment program.

However, no matter how funny the program was, it could not make me laugh. I reckoned my mood

could not get any worse.

I tried to watch for another couple of minutes when I realized I could not continue anymore. I was

really frustrated, so I got up and walked toward the door of the villa.

Whaldorf always seemed to make one feel sad and lonely when it was winter. There was no snow

on the ground, no green leaves on the trees, the skies were always gloomy, and the whole world felt

really lifeless.

"Wanda Lane!” A male voice roared, snapping me back

to reality.

I watched the man stride toward me, and there were n o longer flames of anger in my heart. I was

oddly calm. Perhaps I just felt like nothing really mattered anymore.

"You're just going to stand here in your pajamas? Are you nuts?" Theo lectured me as he quickly

carried me into the villa.

I raised my eyes to see his darkening face. I scoffed. "I f I weren't nuts, would I have followed you

hack?"

"You!" Theo became more enraged after hearing what I said.

He carried me back to our room and tossed me roughly on the bed. Then, he yanked the blanket

that was cast aside and wrapped me tightly with it." Wanda Lane, do you hate me so much? Are

you trying t o get me not to touch you anymore through selfharm?"

"I don't want to fight with you." I closed my eyes wearily.

I had not eaten anything since I woke up, so I really could not muster the energy to fight with him.

Theo spat out through gritted teeth. "You win this time."

Then, he pressed on the call button that was by the bed.

Miss Woods quickly came up. When she saw Theo's angered face, she spoke warily, "Sir, I tried to

ask Madam to eat just now and she refused. Why don't you talk to her?"

Theo frowned. "Prepare something. I'll bring her down to eat in a while."

After Miss Woods left, he looked at me silently.

He broke the silence with a sigh. "I was out of line and inconsiderate yesterday."

My head was down. I refused to respond to him.

Theo pulled out a bottle of ointment from the cabinet b y the bed. "I'll apply some for you."

I glared at him. "Theo Grant, are you deliberately trying to make me uncomfortable, both physically

and mentally?"

Theo tossed the ointment on the bed. "You do it, then."

I did not want to look at him, so I wrapped myself tightly with the blanket. "Leave me alone. Just let

me b e alone for a while, please?"

Even though I knew something was wrong with my emotions, I could not control them. The more I

tried to control my emotions, the more uncontrollable they became. I would only get more anxious

and my emotions would become worse.

I did not hear any sounds, so I thought Theo had angrily left the room. I was about to peek my head

out for fresh air when I was hugged from behind.

"I'm sorry." Theo's distinctive voice rang in my ears. "I know you can't control your emotions, but I

still went ahead and fought with you anyway. Get up and be a good girl. Eat something, then take

your meds. You can punish me however you want to when you feel more stable."

It was not an easy feat for Theo to say such soft things. My emotions were slightly disengaged.

He took away the blanket from me and carried me." Let’s go, let’s eat."
