Chapter 152


    "Wanda Lane, what do you mean by that?!” Cindy was s o angry that her eyes had turned


    bloodshot. However, she still had to maintain her sophisticated demeanor i n front of Theo, so she


    did not dare rush up to me and p me.


    "I meant what I said. I really don''t get it, why do you have to cling to Theo? Don''t you still have


    Doctor Lynch and Zedd Nichols by your side? Well, I guess Doctor Lynch won''t like an arrogant,


    spoiled, and unreasonable brat like you."


    I looked at Zedd and continued, "As for President Nichols, he''s loyal and faithful to you, only for you


    to treat him as a bootlicker. You hand him your boot to b e licked when it''s necessary and chuck him


    away when he''s not needed. Your act of keeping him as a backup while you go after a better man is


    despicable."

    I was mad, so I did not filter my words.


    Zedd, who was at the side, heard my words and his expression changed. "Wanda Lane, watch what


    you’re saying."


    "What double standards you have, President Nichols. I have to watch what I say after a few


    sentences, but Miss Reed is openly going against me and fighting me for my husband. Besides, I’m


    speaking up for you out o


    f goodwill. Are you really happy being the backup?"


    "You..."


    Zedd was about to say something else when Theo spoke up, "Zedd, bring Cindy back."


    The two red at me angrily before they resentfully left.


    It was just the two of us in the ward now. He looked at me with a trace of amusement in his deep


    eyes.


    I did not understand what he meant, so I said coldly," Sorry I spoke without a filter and hurt your


    beloved lover once again.”


    He cocked his eyebrows. His initially rxed jawline was clenched tightly as he sighed


    exasperatedly." What do you feel like eating?"


    "Air." I was in a foul mood, so I did not have the nicest tone.


    "Great, I''ll eat air with you tonight, then," he replied swiftly.


    "Theo Grant, are you getting a kick out of torturing and annoying me the entire day? If you’re really


    bored and need someone to talk to, Miss Reed would be eager toply. Why can’t you just let me


    go?"


    As soon as I was done, the atmosphere changed drastically. Theo''s face was initially pretty serene


    but i t became piercingly cold, and chilly air emitted from his body. His eyes turned dangerously dark


    as he red at me in silence.


    His gaze was so stern, and when it was paired with his menacing facial expression, I shuddered in


    fear as it had been a while since Ist saw him like this. I instinctively took a step back.


    It wasmon for human beings to subconsciously want more than they could ask for. The change


    in Theo recently was so huge I forgot what his initial attitude was like.


    "Do you really hate spending time with me?" he asked, his tone dripping with ice.


    "Not really.” I shrunk back shamelessly. I lowered my voice and said, "I''m in a bad mood and was


    tired the entire day. I don’t have the energy nor strength now."


    My attitude calmed the snowstorm on his face. He did not reply to me. After a long time, he reached


    out and pulled me by his side while muttering, "Are you still angry because I got into an ident


    when I was with Cindy?”


    "A little, but not entirely," I did not hide anything as I answered him truthfully. I was already used to it


    after all these years. I may be angry, but I would not hold a grudge.


    "So you''re in a bad mood because of the pregnancy?” H e was patient as he continued asking.


    I rolled my eyes at him and did not answer. There were many things that had caused my mood to


    be bad, and there were also psychological aspects involved.


    Suddenly, Keith pushed open the door and appeared with a few huge bags in his hands. From the


    logo of the bags, it looked like they were all takeaways from the ''Cauldron of Latymer'', which was


    quite far away from the hospital.


    Keith arranged all the food on the table after taking them out and left after that.


    Theo looked at me, and his lips gently parted. "Eat up. Didn''t you say that you like the food from this


    restaurant? They’re all your favorites."


    I nced at the food in front of me. About seven or eight of them were foods that I had previously


    mentioned I liked.


    I was hungry, so I did not wait anymore and grabbed the fork to dig in.


    Theo did not move. He sat there quietly watching me.


    I ignored him and continued enjoying my meal. After a long while, my cheeks were flushed red from


    all his staring. I looked up at him and asked, "You’re not eating?"
