Chapter 253


    Theo stopped mid-action and turned back to look at m e. He had an incredulous expression on his


    face that also carried anger and pain.


    I regained myposure, and my blurry vision gradually recovered. It was only then I realized it


    was Theo whom I had just struck with the bat. I subconsciously hurled it aside and wailed, "He''s


    going to die!"


    Disappointment emerged on his face briefly, but the murderous intent in his eyes was clear. His


    irises were deep like bottomless pools of jet ck. He parted his lips to speak but not a single word


    fell from the tip of his tongue.

    Tylery motionless on the floor in a supine position.


    I dared not linger another second by Theo''s side, so I dashed over to Tyler and squatted down


    beside him, examining his injuries.


    At present, he looked nothing like the handsome young man I knew. His lips were swollen to the


    size of sausages and not a single inch of his pale skin remained intact. Theo certainly did not go


    easy on him.


    "Get up. I''ll take you to the hospital." Amid my panic,


    tears rolled down my face uncontrobly. I reached out in an attempt to help him up.


    He slowly forced his eyes open and pulled his lips into a hideous smile. "Don''t cry. I''m fine."


    His strained smile tipped me over the edge and I burst out crying. "How can you say that you’re fine


    when you’re in this condition? Quick, get up. I’ll take you to the hospital."


    Without caring about my own body, I tried my best to support his weight.


    Theo strode forward and hauled me aside. In his deep voice, he instructed, "Leave him alone and


    come back with me!"


    At that moment, I knew that his heart housed immense wrath. However, I could not simply abandon


    Tyler and leave him to fend for himself in this state. I whipped my head to look at Theo and roared,


    "How could he possibly be fine? Can''t you see all the blood o n his face? Theo Grant, how can you


    be so cruel? You should’vee at me if you''re angry at me!"


    He tossed me a cold nce. I could tell that the ball of fury he had been suppressing was about to


    erupt again.


    Fearing that he would initiate a second round, I tugged at his shirt and pleaded, "Theo, I beg you!


    Leave him be. He’s almost dying.”


    "Wandy... Don''t beg him. I-I’m fine!” Tyler struggled to climb to his feet, but with every movement


    came a pang of pain that was apanied by fresh blood gushing out of his mouth.


    Fear consumed me. I tried my best to wriggle free from Theo''s grasp, but I could only dream of


    surpassing him in strength. He clutched both my wrists tightly in one hand.


    I was pissed. My brows were knitted together in a frown as I red daggers at him. “Let go!"


    He did not speak a word. Instead, he only showed me his terrifyingly icy gaze and tightened his grip


    on me.


    Once again, Tyler shut his eyes. The way he was sprawled out on the floor unmoving did not make


    things seem optimistic. Without a second thought, I lowered my head and got ready to bite the back


    of Theo''s hand. I peered up at him, signaling that I would bite him hard if he decided not to let go of


    me.


    As I continued to sink my teeth into his skin, his eyes flickered but his calm expression remained.


    He did not spare a glimpse at his hand while he stared fixedly at me. “Is this what you really want?"


    "You left me with no choice," I slurred.


    "Very well. Don’t me me for this." With a swift flip o f his palm, he pinched my lips between his


    thumb and pointer finger. Despite applying minimal force, the pain brought tears to my eyes.


    Nheless, I gave it my all to endure it. Swallowing the cries that threatened to escape, I red


    unblinkingly at him without a word.


    Eventually, he still caved in and released his grip on m e.


    As though spotting an oasis amid a desert, Itched onto him and howled bitterly, "Theo, I beg you


    to let m e go, please! I promise that I''ll return as soon as I drop him off at the hospital. You can


    decide what to do with me then."


    "You never cease to amaze me, Wanda Lane. Are you actually kneeling in front of your husband for


    the sake of another man? What do you view me as?" His rage peaked, and he gritted his teeth. His


    widened eyes were locked onto me.


    Disregarding his annoyance, I took advantage of the opening to fling myself free. I fled over to Tyler,


    squatted down by his side, and lifted him into a halfseated position in my arms. Sobbing, I cooed,


    "Get up slowly. Let''s go to the hospital."


    From afar, Miss Woods ran over from inside the house. The scene stupefied her, but she quickly


    recovered and joined me in helping Tyler up.


    With her help, we finally managed to prop Tyler onto his feet and lead him to his car one step at a


    time.


    At that point, I no longer had the courage to meet Theo’s eyes. I turned to Miss Woods and


    muttered, " Miss Woods, thank you."


    With that, I climbed into the driver''s seat, started the engine, and steered the car downhill.


    "Young Mistress, please be careful. Don''t stay out toote..." Miss Woods called out with unrest


    from behind me.
