Chapter 414


    "Miss Woods..." I wanted to say something else, but I suddenly felt like there was no need to.


    Hence, all I said was, "Fine, I’ll think about it. You can go ahead and do what you have to, Miss


    Woods. I''d like to be left alone for a while."


    Miss Woods knew she could not continue with the conversation, so she sighed and left.


    I took the remote control from the table and turned on the TV. I did not know what to watch, so I just


    switched to a channel showing an entertainment program.


    However, no matter how funny the program was, it could not make meugh. I reckoned my mood


    could not get any worse.


    I tried to watch for another couple of minutes when I realized I could not continue anymore. I was


    really frustrated, so I got up and walked toward the door of the vi.


    Whaldorf always seemed to make one feel sad and lonely when it was winter. There was no snow


    on the ground, no green leaves on the trees, the skies were always gloomy, and the whole world felt


    really lifeless.


    "Wanda Lane!” A male voice roared, snapping me back


    to reality.


    I watched the man stride toward me, and there were n o longer mes of anger in my heart. I was


    oddly calm. Perhaps I just felt like nothing really mattered anymore.


    "You''re just going to stand here in your pajamas? Are you nuts?" Theo lectured me as he quickly


    carried me into the vi.


    I raised my eyes to see his darkening face. I scoffed. "I f I weren''t nuts, would I have followed you


    hack?"


    "You!" Theo became more enraged after hearing what I said.


    He carried me back to our room and tossed me roughly on the bed. Then, he yanked the nket


    that was cast aside and wrapped me tightly with it." Wanda Lane, do you hate me so much? Are


    you trying t o get me not to touch you anymore through selfharm?"


    "I don''t want to fight with you." I closed my eyes wearily.


    I had not eaten anything since I woke up, so I really could not muster the energy to fight with him.


    Theo spat out through gritted teeth. "You win this time."


    Then, he pressed on the call button that was by the bed.


    Miss Woods quickly came up. When she saw Theo''s angered face, she spoke warily, "Sir, I tried to


    ask Madam to eat just now and she refused. Why don''t you talk to her?"


    Theo frowned. "Prepare something. I''ll bring her down to eat in a while."


    After Miss Woods left, he looked at me silently.

    He broke the silence with a sigh. "I was out of line and inconsiderate yesterday."


    My head was down. I refused to respond to him.


    Theo pulled out a bottle of ointment from the cab b y the bed. "I''ll apply some for you."


    I red at him. "Theo Grant, are you deliberately trying to make me ufortable, both physically


    and mentally?"


    Theo tossed the ointment on the bed. "You do it, then."


    I did not want to look at him, so I wrapped myself tightly with the nket. "Leave me alone. Just let


    me b e alone for a while, please?"


    Even though I knew something was wrong with my emotions, I could not control them. The more I


    tried to control my emotions, the more uncontroble they became. I would only get more anxious


    and my emotions would be worse.


    I did not hear any sounds, so I thought Theo had angrily left the room. I was about to peek my head


    out for fresh air when I was hugged from behind.


    "I''m sorry." Theo''s distinctive voice rang in my ears. "I know you can''t control your emotions, but I


    still went ahead and fought with you anyway. Get up and be a good girl. Eat something, then take


    your meds. You can punish me however you want to when you feel more stable."


    It was not an easy feat for Theo to say such soft things. My emotions were slightly disengaged.


    He took away the nket from me and carried me." Let’s go, let’s eat."
