Chapter 921

Any woman who suffered that kind of humiliation would not have the courage to go on even if she

survived.

This was the reason why Samantha eventually chose t o commit suicide. It was because it would be

a relief for her.

For Theo and Mason, however, her death had become a lifelong pain in their hearts.

We did not say anything else after that and returned t o the hospital in silence.

The doctor performed checks on Theo. When he was done, he announced that Theo could be

transferred to another hospital.

After learning about it, Petra booked tickets back to Whaldorf City. She was over the moon probably

because she was going back to Whaldorf City, so she bought a lot of good food when she visited.

In the last few days, she and Grayson were almost always having meals with us in the hospital.

In her own words, food was more fragrant and sweet when more people ate together.

The food that Grayson and Petra cooked every time was so nutritional that I felt as though I had

gained

weight from these meals.

After dinner, Petra said with a smile, "It's going to be National Day in two more days. I've instructed

the caretaker at home to have everything prepared. She'll make a few dishes of different cuisines

the night before, so just dig in."

Looking at Theo, she asked with a smile, "Is there anything in particular that you want to eat,

Theo?"

He was probably feeling down ever since Samantha's death was brought up again, so he seemed

much quieter than usual.

He was almost deaf to every word that Petra said. I nudged at him, and only then did he snap back

to his senses. He asked dazedly, "What?”

Petra smiled awkwardly. "Is there anything in particular that you'd like to eat? Tell me so I can ask

the caretaker at home to prepare the ingredients."

He shook his head and said faintly, "I'm fine. There's nothing in particular that I want."

Petra was stunned and asked no more.

As there was something on Theo’s mind, he seemed very quiet. The atmosphere was somewhat

awkward.

Theo did not actually need people to take care of him now, so after staying for a while more, Petra

and Grayson returned to the hotel to get some rest.

Keith gave Theo a call. Theo then instructed him on several things regarding the company matters.

I sat on one side in silence and waited for him to get off the call.

About half an hour later, he hung up the call and looked at me, saying, "Keith found the best

ointment. B e sure to regularly apply it after we get back. The scar should fade in no time."

Sensing his gaze on my face, I realized that he was talking about the scar on my face.

I shook my head. "It's not going to leave an obvious scar, anyway. It's okay."

He held my hand and changed the subject. "In a while, the doctor will come and dress my wound.

You can have some sleep after that. My wound is nearly healed. You don't have to worry about my

wound tearing anymore. You can sleep well at night now."

He merely said those words to comfort me. I looked at his arm and felt a little heartbroken.

How could it be almost healed?

Thinking about what Theo said to me on the way back, I could not help but ask, "Are you worried

about Mason?"

He shook his head. "No. I’ve spoken to the guys at the prison. They won't give him a hard time."

I gently sighed. After pondering about it for a long time, I said, "If you're unhappy, I can choose not

to have dealings with the Louises."

He frowned, a little surprised. "Why are you suddenly saying such things?"

I pursed my lips. "Although the Louises weren't directly involved in Samantha’s death, they were the

ones responsible for her incident. I understand that you hold a grudge against the Louises, so if

you're unhappy about it, I can choose not to have dealings with the Louises."

He laughed. "Wanda, if I keep carrying the past on my shoulders, then our path ahead will be a

bumpy one."
