Chapter 799


    Theo''s breathing was slightly heavy. He was suppressing his emotions.


    I continued to speak like a puppet being manipted. "When I left three years ago, I truly hated you


    and thought that I would stay away from you forever. I figured that I was destined to be alone for the


    rest of m y life because I was already abandoned after I was born. Otherwise, the heavens would


    punish me.”


    After a pause, I took a deep breath and continued, "But I realized that I often dreamed of you, and I


    often had shbacks of the times we spent together. That''s why I conceded when I saw you in


    Zenon. If I can''t hate anyone, then I would have to bear the pain in silence. I would deserve it.”


    Though if resentment and pain were umted in my heart for too long with nowhere to vent out,


    they would start to grow wildly. It would be impossible to let go.


    Theo said, "After you left, I returned to the empty house and it was cold everywhere. I would jolt


    awake every night, and my dreams would be full of you and our child''s cries. I fell into endless


    regret. Keith advised me to move, but I didn''t want to because if I moved, I wouldn''t be able to feel


    your presence


    anymore.


    "Wanda, I was struggling painfully as well."


    I looked up at him and saw that his gaze was unusually soft. He grabbed my hand and ced it on


    his chest. "You’ve always been the only one here. I was just too foolish to do all those things I


    thought were good for you, only to end up hurting you deeply."


    I breathed a long sigh and realized that I should not have allowed myself to drown in the quagmire


    of the past, so I said, "Theo, I think I need to think very carefully about this myself."


    If Theo had not swapped the DNA report in the first ce, the child in my womb would not have


    died. Therefore, Theo was the one in the wrong.

    However, the only reason why Theo swapped the DNA report was that he was worried that Grayson


    would get in trouble and implicate me. Therefore, he was not wrong when looking at things this way.


    There were many things in this world where rights and wrongs were impossible to judge. When it


    came to family rtionships, how should one decide who to hate?


    Humans did things out of love, but the result of that left everyone scarred. Who exactly was in the


    wrong, then?


    Back in the bedroom, Theo headed for the bathroom.


    I called out to him, "Can we sleep separately tonight?"


    Theo fell silent for a very long time and turned around to leave the room without a word.


    We were separated by a door. It was like our worlds were brought apart.


    There was no end to the resentment, and a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped me.


    It started snowingte at night. I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the snow all


    night. When the sun slowly rose from the east, my lips moved slightly. "So be it.”


    With no end to the resentment and nowhere to vent it out, there was nothing I could do even though


    I felt tremendously helpless.


    I guess I was considered to have figured some of it out, right?


    I let out a self-deprecating smile and returned to my bed, nning to sleep.


    As soon as Iy down, Keith gave me a call. I was a little confused. Why was he calling me so early


    in the morning?


    I picked up the phone and before I could say anything, Keith said in an anxious voice, "Mrs. Grant,


    Mr. Grant refuses to leave the Louises’ residence. Can youe over and persuade him?"


    I froze. What was Theo doing in the Louises'' residence?


    I came back to my senses and quickly asked, "What is he doing in the Louises’ residence?"


    As though it was inconvenient to tell me, he hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mr. Grant said he


    wanted t o make amends with the Louises, but the gate of the Louises’ residence is shut and they


    refuse to let him i n. He has been standing outside for several hours and it''s snowing now. I''m


    worried that he''ll not be able to physically take it if this continues."


    I felt an ufortable lump in my throat, not knowing what to say. There would always be an


    obstruction that made it impossible for one to continue dwelling in the painful memories of the past.


    I spoke in a slightly sour tone, "I''ll go over there right now."


    It was snowing outside, and it was impossible to get a ride around here. Hence, I had no choice but


    to drive there myself.
