Chapter 458


    When Quinn heard what I said, she was incredibly pissed. She grabbed Theo''s arm and said


    angrily," Didn''t you hear what she said? Aren''t you going to say something?"


    Theo looked at me, and his lips moved as if he was going to say something. In the end, however, he


    chose not to say anything.


    It was good that he did not speak up for Quinn. Otherwise, I would have scolded him too.


    When Quinn saw that he was not saying anything, she left in a huff.


    After that, Theo and I went home. We did not say anything the entire way back. When we got home,


    I locked myself in the bedroom while Theo was smart enough to not follow me in.


    I hid under the covers, curled up, and hugged my legs. My mind kept reying the scene of


    Matthew getting hit by a car and the image of him talking to me before he died.


    Tears flowed from my eyes, and I felt incredibly remorseful. If I could have apanied him a little


    longer and guided him, he would not have tried to kill Quinn. This tragedy would not have


    happened.


    Why did I care about what Theo thought and leave him alone?


    Did I forget that he was the one who got me through the hardest time of my life?


    No, I had not forgotten, but I had ungratefully chosen t o leave him behind.


    I pped myself hard before crawling out of bed from under the covers.


    It was freezing cold outside, but I left the vi without a coat.


    The coldness spread throughout my body. Iy down o n the snow, punishing myself. I looked at the


    dark sky and wondered if Matthew was also looking down at m e from above the sky.


    Miss Woods came out of the vi and ran up to me. She urgently told me, "Young Mistress, why are


    you lying in the snow in the middle of winter without a coat? Are you trying to get sick?"


    "I don''t care," I said bitterly.


    "Nonsense." Miss Woods squatted down to help me up. "Come on, I''ll help you up. You''ll get sick if


    you keep lying there."


    I pushed her hand away. "Don''t worry about me."


    I could only think clearer in the cold. If I was alone in a n enclosed space, I would just keep thinking


    about how Matthew looked before he died. I... I would go


    crazy.

    Miss Woods sighed and turned to leave.


    Not long after, Theo appeared in front of me. He was wearing a ck shirt and a pair of ck suit


    pants which made him look extra serious. I indifferently looked away. "Leave me alone. I just need


    you to let m e be for a while.”


    Theo pursed his lips without saying a word. He bent down and picked me up from the snow.


    I did not resist him because I had no strength left and my head was dizzy.


    He carried me back to the bedroom and put me on the bed. He held my cold, ice-like hands and


    said in a cold voice, "Are you so sad that he''s dead? Are you hoping t o go with him as well?"


    "Are you saying that his death is not worth me getting sad over at all?" I questioned him back.


    Theo''s expression remained indifferent.


    I suddenly realized that he indeed did not think Matthew''s death was something worth being sad


    over. He might even be happy about it. After all, he had never liked Matthew.


    He and Quinn were exactly the same-extremely selfish and self-centered people.
