The Woman From Hell

After lying down for a while, I still could not sleep, so I said, "I can’t sleep, Theo. My body’s aching all over. Can you give me a massage?”

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Here?"

"Yes, my arms and thighs too. Also, my...

"I still can't sleep, Theo. Why don't you sing me a song?"

"Okay, I'll sing you a lullaby!”

"You know how to sing that?"

"Mm, I learned it some time ago so I would know how t o coax the baby in the future."

While listening to his deep and low humming, I finally fell asleep in his arms with a smile.

When I woke up the next morning, my arm was sore. It was probably because I was sleeping too soundly that I forgot to turn around and switch sides. Lately, to avoid soreness from sleeping in the same posture for too long, I would frequently turn over in my sleep.

As it was too late last night, I slept a little too soundly and forgot to turn over. Hence, half of my body was aching a lot at the moment.

I lay flat on the bed for a very long time before finally

feeling better. Theo was no longer in the room. Looking at the time, it was nearly nine in the morning. Although I was very tired, I still got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

When Miss Zuri saw me coming downstairs, she immediately served the breakfast she had prepared.

"Mr. Grant went out to handle some business, Mrs.

Grant. He ordered me to make breakfast and wait for you to wake up before he left. Come and have something to eat."

I nodded gently and drank a glass of milk. I forced myself to eat some eggs as well. Having absolutely no appetite, I then got up and went to the garden to take a stroll.

The sky was clear after the rain. The morning sun was not particularly glaring, so I sat on a lounger in the pavilion to soak up the sun. In no time at all, I dozed off.

In a daze, I felt something warm licking my leg. As I was wearing a dress, the heat and moist sensation felt uncomfortable. I retracted my legs instinctively.

However, that thing followed me and placed two legs o n mine while panting.

I immediately woke up and felt my heart drop. The panting came from a dog!

I opened my eyes and saw a fluffy husky staring back at me with its eyes wide open.

Staring at each other, I shuddered and cried out involuntarily, "Ahh!"

With no regard for anything else, I screamed while jumping up from the lounger before dashing out of the pavilion.

The husky chased after me from behind. The faster I ran, the more delighted it was to chase after me... 1

When everyone else in the house finally heard me, I had already fallen to the ground from running too fast. All of a sudden, everyone’s complexion paled and they did not know what to do.

I hugged my head and cried at the top of my lungs, " Hurry up and c-chase it away!"

It was only then did they come over to catch the dog. The doctor came out as well and immediately checked on me while saying anxiously, "Hurry up and send her to the hospital!"

I froze and looked down, only to see red stains on my white dress.

I had yet to recover from the shock and was now struck by fear once more. I clenched the doctor’s hand and asked in a panic, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the baby?"

The doctor motioned the bodyguard to pick me up and said while walking, "We're not sure yet. It’s best to get i t checked in the hospital. Does your stomach hurt?" "I don’t feel a thing.” My heart was taut. I was so nervous that it felt like my breathing was about to stop.

"Relax and take a deep breath. Getting nervous will not do any good for the baby. We'll be at the hospital soon." The doctor patted my back gently, consoling me.

We arrived at the hospital in no time at all. After a round of check-ups, they said I was fine. I was just excessively shocked, so there was some slight bleeding. The doctor suggested that I stay in the hospital for a period of time in case of premature birth. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Half an hour later, Theo rushed in with his forehead covered in sweat. He approached the doctor to ask about the specific details, then consoled me before asking the bodyguard, "Where did the dog come from?”

The bodyguard looked terrified. "You ordered that no animals should appear in the house, so we would patrol the area several times a day. Half an hour before Mrs. Grant went out, we had just finished doing a full check. We had also checked the surveillance footage and found no dogs coming in."

Theo frowned and said to Keith who had also arrived," Investigate this! I want this to be investigated thoroughly!"
