The Woman From Hell

Chapter 948

Normally, | would have snuggled into his arms and softly told him to stop smoking, but now, | merely dried my

hair and lay down on the bed.

A faint scent of tobacco wafted into the bedroom. | had caught a cold and there was discomfort in my throat, so |

started coughing uncontrollably when | smelled the smoke.

Perhaps | was coughing too hard and Theo heard it, so he put out the cigarette and cin to poura glass of

water. He helpedup from the bed. "Drink swater first."

When | finished drinking the water, Theo grabbed the medicine on the bedside table. "Take two tablets for your

cough."

"No." | pushed his hand away. "I took them after dinner. The doctor said that this is just a common cold. Taking

too much medicine can be harmful, so there’s no need to take too much."

Theo frowned slightly but did not insist that | take the medicine anymore.

Seeing that | had stopped coughing, he got up and went to the bathroom.

| lay back down on the bed and closed my eyes to

sleep, but | did not feel sleepy at all. Though if | did not sleep, then | had no idea what to say to Theo when he

cout of the shower later.

After about ten minutes, Theo cout of the shower.

| thought he would reach out to holdto sleep but h e did not.

The large bed seemed extraordinarily spacious and wide. This must be marital dissension as they called it.

When | woke up the next day, Theo was no longer around.

It tooka long tto fall asleep last night, so | felt a little sleepy when | woke up. | grabbed my phone and

saw that it was not seven o'clock yet, so | figured | should sleep a little while more.

| closed my eyes and was just about to go back to sleep when someone walked into the bedroom.

"It's tto wake up." The man's soft voice rang in my ears.

| opened my eyes to look at him. When | saw him in a suit, | asked, "Are you going to the company?"

He nodded.

"Go on, then." | yawned. "I'm going to sleep a while more."

Theo helplessly smiled. "Do you have any plans for today?” "I might go and visit Cassey," | said sleepily.

"Hurry up and get up, then." He pulledup from bed. “Go early so we can have lunch together."

| closed my eyes again. “Okay.”

Theo smiled and lifted his hand to pinch my chin, sucking my face somewhat mischievously." Sleepyhead."

| opened my eyes to look at him and let out a puff of air, saying, "You should go to work."

| could not even sleep even if | wanted to!

After Theo left, | lay back down on the bed, not wanting to listen to him.

What | did not expect was that Theo cback again.

He sawlying on the bed and put on a knowing expression. "You leaveno choice."

As soon as he said that, he walked over to lift the covers and pickedup from bed. "Let's go out together. I'll

drop you off at the Louises' on my way to work."

| was a little speechless. "The Louises' mansion is in the east while Grant Corporation is in the south. They're not

nearby at all!"

"| can still drop you off at the Louises' even if it isn’t near."

While he spoke, he had already carriedinto the bathroom. He poureda glass of water to brush my teeth.

This scene looked just like a father taking care of his daughter who had lost her mobility.

After washing up, | went downstairs to have breakfast.

After having breakfast, Theo and | went out the door.

| did not have enough sleep, so | rested my head on the back of the chair and planned to take a nap.

Not long after | fell asleep, Theo wokeup.

| looked at him with a face full of resentment. "Are we there yet?"

Theo shook his head.

Why did he wakeup, then?

About to lose my head, | was just about to go back to sleep when Theo said, "Cassey delivered.”

"She delivered?" | was instantly awake.

Theo nodded. "Let's go straight to the hospital."

When Theo and | arrived at the hospital, Cassey had already delivered. It was a healthy baby boy.

We ran into Petra at the door of the ward. Her eyes lit u p when she saw me. She trotted over with a smile on her

face. "Cassey’s water broke not long after she got off the phone with you. | was so busy at the tthat | forgot

to give you a call. Cassey was mad when she learned about it. Why don't you go in and coax her?"

I nodded with a smile and walked into the ward.

Seeing that | was here, Cassey grew a little emotional and planned to sit up when the caretaker pressed her

down in time. "You can't move yet, Miss."

Cassey pouted and looked at me, saying aggrievedly," Look at how pitiful I am now, Wanda."

| echoed. "Really pitiful, indeed."

"And you're only here now?" Cassey’s expression changed so quickly that | did not manage to react in time.

| helplessly smiled and went over to sit on the chair in front of the hospital bed. "It's my fault. | should have

csooner but | was truly unaware of it. | cas soon as | heard. Because | was worried about you, | ran to

the ward as soon as | stepped out of the elevator and nearly tripped. Can't you forgiveseeing how worried |

was about you?"

Cassey could be persuaded by reason but not coerced. Her expression improved drastically after | said that.

There was a crib in the ward, and my gaze fell on the baby. | said with a smile, "How adorable."

"Adorable?" Cassey looked at her baby and said with a face full of disgust, "He's so ugly. He didn't even inherit

my good looks."

Although Cassey said so, no mother would actually think about their child that way.

| looked at her and secretly envied her. "This is what a newborn baby looks like. He'll look better when he

grows up."

Cassey nodded. "I hope he'll look likewhen he grows up. He'll definitely be the dream guy of thousands of

girls in the future."

| could not help but laugh. "He will."

Theo still had things to do at the company, so he did not stay long before leaving.

Cassey and | talked about things related to the baby. While we spoke, she suddenly asked me, "When do you and

Theo plan to have a second child? You've returned to Whaldorf City for so long now, so why isn't your tummy

showing any signs yet? Don’t tellthat Theo is too old?"

| was a little speechless. "He's only in his early 30s. How could he not be capable? Cut the nonsense."

Cassey twitched her mouth. "Why aren’t you having a second child, then?"

It was not that we did not want to but it was because w e could not.

| could only say, "Having Munchkin alone is more than enough."

Cassey frowned. "Wanda, Theo is a man, after all. Although the elders of the Grant family aren't rushing him, I'm

sure they're anxious about it. You should hurry up and have one."

| pursed my lips. "Why don't | see Caleb?"

"He went hto grab the baby’s things. He's been gone for quite stnow. He'll probably be back soon."

| nodded and breathed a sigh of relief to have finally changed the topic of conversation.

Cassey had just given birth and was still weak, hence she fell asleep in no tat all. &
