Chapter 497

He frowned. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were bone-chilling. "I can't believe you'd

do something this radical. Her actions didn't warrant her to be killed.

"Didn't warrant her to be killed?" I sneered. "No, she deserves to die. I should’ve stabbed her twice

so she would've died instantly."

"You!" Theo was furious.

After taking a long time to calm down, he spoke between clenched teeth, "What’s it with you,

Wanda? Also, have you thought about how you'll have to pay for Cindy's life if she dies? No one

can help you if that happens."

I sneered. "I'll pay for her life, then. I'm avenging my son and have no regrets. Besides, there's

nothing I can’t let go of, so why should I be afraid of dying?"

"Nothing you can't let go of, huh?" Theo gnashed his teeth. "Wanda Lane, you’re a selfish and

indifferent person."

I pursed my lips and said no more.

He could judge me however he liked because nothing mattered anymore.

I sat on a bench along the corridor, then lowered my

head and shut my eyes.

Theo sighed helplessly at the sight of this. "You’re clearly a very sensible person, so why did you do

something so extreme? What did she say to provoke you?"

I opened my eyes and said indifferently, "She said you deliberately gave me medicine that's harmful

to the baby when I was pregnant. That the child wouldn't live long even if he was born."

I immediately observed his reaction after saying that.

He frowned. "You believe her?"

I sneered. "Judging from the result, do you think I believe her?"

"Wanda Lane!" Theo flew into a rage. "How could you believe such nonsense?!"

"Am I that untrustworthy to you?" Disappointment filled his eyes. "You never believe me yet you

keep saying you love me. Do you really love me?"

Did I really love Theo?

Two years ago, I would have answered yes without hesitation.

However, I was not sure anymore. I did not know if I loved him or if I was just used to loving him.

Moreover, I was beginning to question if my feelings for him in the beginning could even be counted

as love.

When I did not reply, Theo took a deep breath. "I understand now. I’ll ask the driver to send you

home. Stay there. Petra and Grayson won’t lay a finger on you as long as I'm around."

"No, I’ll bear the consequences of my own actions.” My voice was cold and indifferent.

There was undissolved ice and frost in Theo's eyes. He merely looked at me but did not say

anything else.

After almost ten minutes, Petra and Grayson arrived.

Petra had cried on the way here and her eyes were scarlet. She grabbed Theo’s arm and asked in a

quivering voice, "How's Cindy doing?"

Theo responded in a low voice, "The doctor's still giving her emergency treatment."

"How did this happen?" Petra covered her face and cried. "What happened?"

Before Theo could say anything, I said mildly, “I stabbed her."

Grayson abruptly turned to look at me with murderous intent in his eyes. "You again."

I looked back at him fearlessly. 1

"If anything happens to Cindy, Miss Lane, you'll pay for it." His gaze was vicious as though he would

rush over and kill me at any moment.

"You witch!" Petra was emotionally unstable. "How dare you hurt my daughter?! I won't spare you!"
