The Woman From Hell

Chapter 445

"What?" Zedd’s tone was filled with disbelief. "Why should I apologize to her? How is she worthy of my apology?"

Theo was slightly irritated. "How can she be unworthy when she's your sister-in-law?"

After a long pause, Zedd finally asked hesitantly, "Do you honestly think she's my sister-in-law?”

The second implication of this question was whether Theo truly took me as his wife.

Theo’s voice was bone-chillingly cold. "You'll only ever have her as your sister-in-law in this life.”

That one sentence was enough to clarify what he meant, and Zedd understood it well. "Very well, I understand. I'll personally apologize to her once I have time.”

Theo hung up nonchalantly.

Zedd no longer mentioned anything concerning the hospitals to him. I felt somewhat disappointed because I had hoped to get more information.

Although simply asking Theo would be a good choice, I knew he would not tell me the truth.

"He’ll express his heartfelt apologies to you eventually, so you need not be upset any longer." Theo crawled

into bed with me and pulled me into his embrace.

I nodded and said, "Zedd previously said that he had something urgent to tell you. Why didn't he bring it up when you called him back?"

Theo remained silent for quite some time before answering, "It's probably nothing of importance."

He was still reluctant to say anything, and all I felt was a sense of powerlessness. "You should get on with your work. I'm going to sleep for a bit."

Theo gave a nod in return and said, "Try not to move your ankle too much when you're sleeping."

"I know." I motioned for him to leave with a wave of m y hand. 1

I could not sleep after he left, so I requested Miss Zuri t o assist me in going to the bathroom. After a quick washing up, I had her help me go downstairs.

Miss Woods was preparing breakfast while I waited o n the sofa in the living room.

"Has Theo gone out?" I asked Miss Zuri, who was standing nearby.

Miss Zuri smiled as she shook her head. She answered, "Mr. Grant went to the study."

I nodded and said, "If that's the case, do inform him once breakfast is ready."

Before Miss Zuri could inform Theo that breakfast was ready, he had already made his way downstairs.

Meanwhile, Mason had appeared in front of the villa's gate.

I caught a glimpse of Mason and noticed that he was wearing a glum expression.

Was he really the person responsible for all of the problems the hospitals are facing?

Theo sought his presence mostly because he had something to discuss, and at the same time, he wanted Mason to check on my ankle. However, I refused. I just had a sprained ankle, so I only needed t o apply some ointment and wait for it to recover.

Since I was unwilling, Theo did not insist either. Hence, he proceeded to join Mason in the study.

Their talk continued for a long time, so I started eating my breakfast without waiting for Theo.

I had finished my meal for quite some time but there was still no sign of them coming down, so I asked Miss Zuri to assist me in going upstairs. I was on my way back to my bedroom to relax when I stopped in m y tracks. We were passing by the study. Miss Zuri stared at me, confused. "Madam..."

"Shh." I signaled for her not to speak.

Miss Zuri nodded, turned, and walked a little farther away.
