Chapter 242 Cindy saw that Theo was sitting besideand holding my hand, so she stopped what she wanted to say and turned her eyes away silently.
After a little while, Cecilia was wheeled out of the operating room and sent into a ward. She was still unconscious, so Theo went to help with the registration matters while I stayed with her in her ward.
I called Jeras I looked at the bandages on Cecilia's head. I could imagine how terrified she must have been when everything happened.
Holding her hand tightly, my heart quivered in fear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCindy had followedinto the ward and was leaning on the door frwhile hugging herself. A ferocious glint flashed before her eyes as she said, "Looks like you two are living pretty harmoniously lately." I was worried about Cecilia so I did not want to pay Cindy any attention. I glanced at her coldly. "Miss Reed, please don't concern yourself with whatever that's happening betweenand my husband." "Wanda Lane!" Cindy was enraged. She gritted her teeth and snapped. "Don't you dare think that he's completely yours now. Theowy is only taking care of you because of the baby. As long as I'm willing, he'll return to my side sooner or later!" I lifted my head and looked at her. "You're right, Miss Reed. He won't reject any of your whims and fancies. I'm fully convinced of that. So, if you want him, just go straight to him. You don't have to letknow.
"If Theo really wants to be with you, I'll let him go and back off. If a man's heart isn't with me, why would I want to keep a mere shell?" After I was done, I glanced at her meaningfully.
Cindy was no fool. She understood what I was implying, but her stubborn arrogance would not allow her to back down after I said a few provoking words. Hence, she marched into the ward. From her face, it looked like a storm was brewing.
"Wanda Lane, you're now pregnant with Theowy's child, so I won't be able to do anything to you. Are you smug about it? However, have you ever weighed the consequences of fighting me? I have a hundred other ways to get back at you, for example...Why don't I take it out on her?" Right after she was done talking, her sinister gaze scanned Cecilia who was in deep sleep. The threatening intent in her voice could not be clearer.
I shot up to my feet, wary and cautious.
Unfortunately, I was still a step too slow. I watched the despicable Cindy Reed raise her hand to smack Cecilia on her injured head.
I did not have tto reconsider or bother with the details when I pushed her out of the way with all my might. Almost immediately, I heard a crash as Cindy was slammed into the corner of the wall. She then knocked into the table beside her. The force she carried was so strong that the glass on the top of the table toppled over and crashed onto the floor with a loud noise.
The commotion startled Zedd, who was outside.
When he clamored into the ward to find Cindy sprawled on the floor, his eyes were red with emotions. He glared atand approachedslowly while asking through gritted teeth, "Did you push her?" His expression was intimidating, and the killing intent in his eyes was thick, making him look like a man-eating demon. It was my first tseeing him like this.
Even though I was a little afraid, I did not deny it. I feigned composure as I nodded. "Yes." "How dare you hurt her over and over again?!" Zedd exploded. His hand was balled into a fist and it swung toward me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the height of the moment, Theo barged in and caught Zedd's arm while he pulledinto his embrace. He roared, "Zedd Nichols, what are you doing?!" As I was in his arms, I could feel that he was trying very hard to suppress his rage. If I were not in his arms, I reckoned he would have given Zedd a good beating.
"Brother, are you blind? Didn't you see that evil wench pushing Cindy to the floor?" Zedd was flustered. He yelled without a care in the world.
Theo frowned and glanced at Cindy, who was still sprawled in the corner. His tone had returned to its usual composed state. "Why can't we talk things out? She's my wife, so ctoif there's a problem. What kind of man are you to hit a woman?"
"Hah!" Zedd scoffed. "So you're gonna turn a blind eye t o Cindy for m her now? You want to protect her, 190 and want to protect Cindy. They're both ladies, so why must she be the one who always hurts the other?"
I strongly disagreed with what Zedd said. What did he mean bybeing the one who hurt Cindy every time? Which of these times did she not start the argument first? I wiggled out of Theo's embrace, looked at Zedd, and retorted coldly.
