StarNovelChapter 406
When | woke up, Theo was standing by my bed, staring at me. He was against the light, so | could not see the
expression on his face, but | could sense that h e was not in a very good mood.
He did not say a word toon the journey from the hotel to the hospital. When the doctor treated the wounds
on my body, he did not utter a single word. He kept mum. He was very unhappy, or to be more specific, he was
furious.
Even the nurse who cin to helpwith my IV drips felt the icy-cold air that he exuded. She left in such a
hurry after that as though she was escaping from something.
| looked at Theo and saw that he looked languished with his bloodshot eyes and ashen face. However, it did not
affect how good he looked.
"Do you have anything to explain?" Alas, he broke the silence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was there to explain? With how smart he was, h e should be able to make an educated guess on what had
happened.
Did | really have to spell out that this was all part of m y plan, even down to the fact that | would get hurt?
| was afraid that he would die of rage if | really did say it.
Lowering my head, | chose not to say anything. If he was angry with me, he should just yell at me. Yelling a t me
would not physically wound me.
Theo saw how | was ready to accept his wrath and let out a long sigh. "So you’re not going to explain anything?"
I nodded.
"You still have the audacity to nod?!" Theo bent down and clasped my chin tightly, angrily gritting his teeth.
"Look at all the injuries on your body. If you had miscalculated or there was just a slight delay, you could've
died!"
"He wouldn't kill me." | squinted.
Theo was so mad he laughed out loud. "How are you s o confident?"
"He wouldn't killthat easily because I'm your wife." Benny Sherman may have wanted to killand was
shrieking about killing me, yet I did not think he was daring enough to actually do it. After all, no one would push
themselves into a dead end while there was still a sliver of hope.
My words had probably calmed Theo's anger as he said helplessly, "You win this time."
"Don’t be angry anymore, alright?" | did not want to argue with him so late at night, so | softened my attitude.
"See, I'm so badly injured and there’s no spot 0 nthat isn't painful. You should be showingsconcern
instead of scolding me, right?"
Theo's breath hitched, and his temper calmed down.
He released my chin and asked faintly, "I thought you didn’t know what pain was?"
| pouted as | muttered pitifully, "I'm made of flesh and blood. How could I not know what pain is?"
"If you know, why did you still-"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed Theo could not hold back the urge to lecture me, so I quickly interrupted him, "I didn't expect Benny to
be such a violent pervert. | thought he would just givea few slaps and wouldn't hurttoo much."
"How smart of you." Theo did not hold back on his mocking words.
| smiled foolishly and did not say anything after that.
"There was another man in the room. Do you know him?" My expression becslightly complicated when Theo
asked about Lawrence.
| could not tell him that | knew that person. If | told Theo the reason why Lawrence kidnappedback then, he
might not believe me. Besides, | did not have any evidence.
"I don't know him. He cto look for Benny. If it weren't for his arrival that helped stall time, | might have..." |
thought my acting was pretty good, but it did not fool Theo.
His eyes narrowed as he bent down to pinch my chin tightly once more. | saw danger flashing in his eyes." Don't
you lie to me. Just be a good girl and tellif you know that person or not."
