Chapter 624

I cast my eyes downward and raised my hand to touch my sore and swollen eyes. "It was all a

mistake from the start. I regret not stopping this mistake in the beginning. It’s time we end this. I

don’t want to live in this mistake for the rest of my life.”

Theo sneered. "Are you giving me a death sentence?"

I looked up at him, my emotions unstirred. "I don’t want anything from the Grants including the

companies that Grandma transferred to my name. I’ll leave this marriage with nothing. This will be

my repayment to Grandma for taking care of me back then."

His dark eyes were deep as the ocean. His thin lips trembled slightly, and I could hear suppressed

anger i n his voice. "What's the reason?”

The reason?

I let out a bitter smile. After everything I had been through and all the pain I suffered, I was almost

rid of emotions. I would bottle up my feelings every time I was going through something, allowing

them to disintegrate in my heart along with time.

"From the day I stepped into the Grants, I knew that Cindy had a special place in your heart. I was

prepared for your departure one day so you could be with her. I could accept it. Because if it were

not for m e, you would’ve been married happily ever after and have children of your own."

Meeting his dark eyes, I had the urge to laugh but did not. "I don't blame you for failing to protect me

and love me. I'm incapable. But you shouldn't have used m e so unrestrainedly and without any

principles because I was foolish and in love with you, nor should you have let my child and I pave

the way for Cindy to have a better life."

"What did Cindy tell you?" Theo's voice became a little hoarse.

I pursed my lips and clenched my hands into fists so hard that my nails were digging into my flash.

"She told me everything that I can and can't know.”

After a pause, I continued, "I did look forward to finding my parents when I was young, but not

anymore after I grew up. If you wanted Cindy to take over my identity and give her a bright future,

then I wouldn’t have anything to say about that. I would have accepted it even if you had told me

about it straight away."

Theo said, "I couldn't bring myself to tell you-”

"You know full well that Petra would hurt me because of Cindy yet you pretended that you didn't

know anything, allowing them to hurt me. You're so selfish, Theo!”

My emotions were finally out of control. "You could've talked to me! If you could have just told me,

then we would've gotten a divorce and I would’ve moved elsewhere with the child. I would never

appear in front of your eyes ever again."

"Wanda..." he said, his eyes dark and gloomy. They seemingly carried a million emotions.

I took a deep breath. "You messed my life up and made me go through life and death again and

again, even implicating the people around me. Yet you still wouldn't let me go. What exactly did I do

wrong to make you resent me so much that you're keeping me b y your side to torture me so

badly?"

"I..." he said, his voice choking.

I let out a bitter smile. "I beg you, Theo. Let me go."

His eyes turned scarlet, and I saw him hesitating to speak.

I closed my eyes. "There's nothing left to say between u s. Let's just end things here."

Mom once told me that life was short. Many people muddled through their lives up until the day they

were about to die, only to recall that muddling through life was not so bad either. Somehow, they still

managed to lead happy lives.

I wanted to muddle through and live life happily for the rest of my life, but everyone refused to spare

me. N o one wanted me to be happy.

He looked at me and remained silent for a very long time.

The light in the ward was so glaring that my eyes hurt. I closed my eyes and pulled the blanket over

myself, closing my eyes so I would not see anything.

Petra and Grayson rushed over and saw Theo standing beside the hospital bed looking defeated.

His entire being was terrifyingly grim and sullen.
