Chapter 496

The sound of a car engine rang out outside the villa and gradually went away. I suddenly felt as

though all my energy had seeped out of my body. Miss Woods caught me in a timely manner. "Don't

be afraid, Miss Wanda. It'll be okay. You'll be fine."

She was not afraid if Cindy was okay; she was worried if I was okay.

How could it be okay?

Whether Cindy survived or not, neither Petra nor Grayson would spare me.

However, I was neither afraid nor concerned. I was only worried that Theo would hate me. I knew

now that I could never compare to Cindy. If he was given a chance to choose between saving Cindy

or me, I was sure that he would pick Cindy.

There was no way he could ignore Cindy. I was nothing to him.

I let out a bitter chuckle. "I've lost, Miss Woods. I've lost completely."

Quinn walked downstairs. "Why would you do something so foolish when you’re such a clever

woman? You obviously have many ways to retaliate against her yet you chose the most extreme

means."

I glanced at her but did not utter a word.

Knowing that there was no use saying anything now, she sighed and turned around to leave.

I pushed Miss Woods’ hands away and walked out of the villa.

Why would I even think that Theo did not love Cindy? They grew up together and relied on each

other for so many years, so how could they not have feelings for each other?

What he had for me was probably a sense of responsibility and guilt. If something bad happened, h

e would no doubt pick Cindy's side.

"Where are you going?" Mason appeared in front of me.

I looked down. "To the hospital."

Mason pursed his lips and pulled me back into the villa.

He pushed me to the sofa to take a seat and looked down at me from above. "Are you planning to

go to the hospital to feel Petra and Grayson's wrath?"

"What else can I do? Face you?" I said indifferently.

Mason sighed helplessly. "I'm not angry at you. I don’t care if Cindy lives or dies."

He was truly indifferent to Cindy.

"I'm here to see Theo but didn’t expect to come across such a scene." Mason smirked. "I'm pretty

lucky, eh?"

He was merely here to watch the fun. I was not in the mood to entertain him, so I zipped my mouth.

Half an hour later, Theo came back, walked up to me, and indifferently ordered, "Go to the hospital

with me."

I shook my head.

I initially wanted to go but not anymore after I calmed down. I was the one who hurt her, so would I

not appear insane if I went to the hospital to visit her?

Theo frowned. He suppressed the anger in his heart and grabbed my arm, pulling me up from the

sofa. " You must go."

Having said that, he quickly pulled me out of the villa.

After being forced into the car, I looked down at my reddened wrist and felt a stabbing pain in my

heart.

When we got to the hospital, Theo continued to grab m y arm as though afraid that I would run.

He was trotting and I could not keep up with his pace. My steps were messed up and I fell to the

floor on my knees.

"Theo..." I held back the urge to cry and said in a hoarse voice, "You can tell me straight away if you

want me to pay for Cindy's life and I won’t fight back. For the sake of our past relationship, I just

hope you won’t torture me unnecessarily."

Theo's pupils contracted abruptly as he yanked me up from the floor. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

I shook off his hand. "It's okay. This is nothing compared to Cindy who’s now lying in the emergency

room."
