The Woman From Hell

The doctor rushed over and easily pulled out the chicken bone from my throat.

I coughed. After making sure that everything was alright now, I thanked the doctor with a smile. "Thank you, Doc."

"The chicken bone is too small and thin. No wonder it was stuck in your throat. But you need to be careful next time and slow down when you eat and drink. It won't be good if you hurt your throat." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

My throat was still hurting. I glanced at the chicken soup on the dining table and rubbed my nose sadly.

This chicken was not to be blamed. I was the one who caused this.

Seeing that I was staring at the chicken soup, Theo raised his eyebrow and laughed. "Still want to drink more of it?"

"Not anymore." I quickly shook my head.

When the doctor left, Theo had things to handle. Meanwhile, I was tired, so I went upstairs to lay down and rest.

Half an hour later, Theo brought a plate of dessert into the bedroom.

When he saw me lying on the bed in a daze, he put the plate on the bedside table and placed his hands on both sides of my head. "Still unhappy?"

I looked at him mildly. "I don't feel like talking."

Theo chuckled as he pulled me up from the bed and into his arms. He then pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out a folder. "Here, it's a gift for you."

I eyed him skeptically and opened the folder.

I scanned the documents and was tremendously astounded.

These were...

"I don't want you to worry that I can't afford to take care of you and the child in the future, so I decided to prove it to you." Theo stroked my hair and said with a smile, "That's everything I have."

I froze for a moment and flipped to a real estate contract. The owner’s name turned out to be mine.

"All of my properties have been transferred to your name, and all my wealth has been given to you. You'll be responsible for me for the rest of your life," Theo said with a chuckle.

I looked at him with extremely complicated feelings.

"What's wrong?" Theo leaned forward. "Not happy?"

"I don't want these things.” I knew Theo would be upset if I rejected his good intentions, but these were not things I should take.

Theo wanted to expand his business in Whaldorf City and needed the money. What was he supposed to use t o expand his business if he gave these to me?

"Why?" Sure enough, Theo was upset. "What's mine is yours as well. Why don't you want these?"

I pursed my lips and pushed him. "I don't want them. I’m a noblewoman myself. Besides, I don’t usually spend money. You should keep these for yourself. Moreover, you’ll need to use the money for many things. What are you going to use to expand your business if you give me all your money?”

Seeing that I insisted on refusing, Theo frowned slightly and was about to say something when his phone rang.

He answered the call and said a few words to the other party before leaving the door in a rush. It seemed that something urgent had cropped up at work. I did not ask for the details.

When he left, I was bored and had nothing better to do so I went downstairs to chat with Miss Zuri and Miss Woods. I listened as they spoke about their parenting experience.

We were having a great time chatting when the doorbell rang.

Miss Woods went to get the door, and a familiar voice followed. I stood up from the couch and walked toward the living room.

When I saw Matthew standing at the door, I was a little astounded.

What was he doing here?

Matthew looked over Miss Woods' shoulder and smiled slightly at me. "Long time no see."

Long time no see, my foot!

My mouth twitched. However, I wore a polite smile on my face. "Please come in, Mr. Zimmer."

Matthew entered the living room and sat down. I sat across from him and said indifferently, "What brings you here, Mr. Zimmer?"
