Chapter 65


    Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow.” He caressed my back gently i n an attempt to coax me


    back to sleep.


    “No, this is urgent, I need to ask you about it tonight.” I shook his arms fervently.


    He pecked me on the forehead, his eyes still closed. “Okay, then tell me. I’m listening.”


    Cecilia was used of drunk driving and a hit-and-run, but it’s all a setup! I’m begging you, can you


    help her, please?”


    He shuddered a little and slowly let go of my arms. When he opened his eyes, they were icy cold. Theo


    asked me coldly, “Is this why you came home tonight?”


    I felt timid as his icy stare bored into me intently. I wanted to deny it, but I could not find the right words


    to say.


    “Was that why you initiated things with me tonight?” His voice was cold, a clear bloodlust in his tone.


    “Wanda Lane, do


    you think that I’m that revolting? So you had no reaction at all, but you had to force yourself to please


    me?”


    I shook my head quickly, answering hastily, “No… it’s nothing like that…”


    I could admit that I hade back for Cecilia, but I had not initiated anything with him just to get what I


    wanted. I just wanted him to not have to hold himself back so much…


    Despite that, I knew that to him, whatever I said would just sound like me trying to defend myself. I kept


    quiet and begged in a soft voice, “Theo, please, I beg of you, please help me. I’ve only got Cecilia,


    she’s my only family. I can’t let anything happen to her.”


    Your only family? Wanda Lane, you really constantly change the impression I have of you.” Theo


    scoffed, his tone bone -chilling


    I knew he was furious. He was angry about what he thought I had done to try t o get what I wanted, and


    he was also angry that I had said things that hurt him.


    However, I was telling him the truth. He was the only person whom I could seek help from


    I ignored the iciness he was emitting and his bulging, angry eyes. I apologized profusely, a lump in my


    throat. “I’m Sorry, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean for my actions toe off like that.”


    Theo looked at me apathetically, the looki ni his eyes sharp and unfamiliar. I instantly felt the hair on my


    body stand u p from the coldness that he exuded.


    After a while, he spoke. “If you’re begging me for help, you’ve gotta be more sincere than this.”


    His voice was low and mocking now, his eyes filled with an inexplicable gleam.

    After he finished talking, he flipped me upside down and pressed me beneath


    him.


    I suddenly understood what he meant by myck of sincerity. He wanted me to give him my body in


    exchange for him helping me in the Cecilia matter.


    A feeling of humiliation crept up as well. I I was just like what he had said: if I wanted to beg. I had to


    have the right begging attitude. This was the attitude I should be showing him, right?


    I suppressed the mncholy in my heart and sniffled, “Theo?”


    I was worried about my child. The doctors had warned me that I should not have intercourse during the


    first three months. I had tried to reject him with all kinds of excuses, but now, for Cecilia, 1 had to take


    the risk.


    Not long after that, several pangs of sharp pain seized my abdomen. The bed was being stained red by


    my blood.


    The pain did not subside. I struggled to speak “Quick.. Send me to the hospital!”


    The pain this time felt different from previous times.


    Theo panicked. He grabbed a bedsheet and tried to wipe the blood away. He hastily put his clothes


    back on and carried me down the stairs at lightning speed


    The nearest hospital was usually a twenty -minute car ride from the vi, but he sped the entire way


    there, running Several red lights. We got there within eight minutes


    Before the car had evene to aplete stop, he jumped out, carrying m e with him as he sprinted


    into the hospital, yelling for a doctor toe quickly


    Soon, a troop of doctors rushed forward. Amidst the chaos, someone asked, What’s wrong with the


    patient?


    Theo looked at me, his lips pursed into a thin line. His eyes glinted dangerously as he stared coldly at


    me. You tell then.”


    I closed my eyes and said through gritted teeth, “I’m two months pregnant. I’ve been feeling some


    sharp pains in my belly and I just bled. Please, doctor, please save my baby.”
