The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2368



My clothes were completely soaked after I had walked for just a short while.

I looked ahead with blurry vision. There was still a long way to go.

There was a small, Western-style building not far ahead, and there was a tiny shade to the side of the door. I walked forward and sheltered myself from the rain.

When would this rain stop pouring?

A gust of cool wind hit me, and I shivered.

However, it was not just my body that was cold. The chill in my heart was even more thorough than the cold outside.

I crouched down halfway and curled up my body.

Cats huddled themselves for warmth when it was cold.

Now, I was like an abandoned cat, huddled in a corner alone and ignored.

The phone in my pocket was vibrating so intensely. I fished it out and finally answered.

"Sis Wan, do you have time this afternoon? Could you come down to the Hyperspace this afternoon to discuss the progress of the project?" Marius' sunny voice registered in my ears.

My throat moved as I hesitated whether or not to speak.

My voice would probably sound very off if I were to speak now.

There was a moment's pause. When he heard no response, Marius spoke again, "Are you listening, Sis Wan?"

Sniffling, I took a deep breath and responded lightly, "Sorry, I may not be able to go over this afternoon."

Sure enough, my voice sounded nasal, so it was difficult not to arouse suspicion.

Marius was obviously stunned, and his concerned tone sounded over the receiver, "What's the matter? Are you sick? The rain sounds really loud over there. Are you outside?"

He bombarded me with a series of questions, but I could not answer him.

I bit my lip and hung up the call, burying my head in my arms. I tried really hard to control my emotions and calm down, but I could not help myself as long as I kept thinking about the scene from just now.

The more I thought about what just happened, the colder I felt. Even my hair was standing on end.

Everyone obviously had their own life to live, but why was mine so exhausting?NôvelDrama.Org content.

Perhaps the reason was that the person I married was Theo.

If I had married an ordinary person, I would probably be happier.

I looked up and watched the rain fall from the eaves in long trickles. Desolation filled my heart.

After letting out a long sigh, I hid my head in my arms again.

Time passed slowly, and the rain continued.

Feeling a slight numbness in my legs, I stood up slowly with my hands supporting the wall. I staggered, however, perhaps because I had been crouching for so long. At that very moment, I grabbed onto a hand and stabilized myself.

"Thank you."

"You fool."

It was a very familiar voice.

I looked up, and what caught my eye was Marius' familiar face.

He was holding an umbrella in one hand and supporting me with the other. His shoulders were wet from the rain, and he was looking at me with an accusatory expression. "Why are you here?"

"It's not easy for me to say."

How could I talk about that matter between Theo and Delia?

"How did you know I'm here?" I asked him before he could speak.

Marius exhaled a long breath. "I went to your house to try my luck. I didn't expect to see you on the way. Should I send you back?"

"No," I shook my head and answered without hesitation.

He looked me over. He probably knew that I did not go to the company today judging from my casual clothes and guessed that had something to do with Theo "Let's go. We can head over to my place and get you changed first. You're going to catch a cold," Marius said again.

"Okay," I did not refuse and followed Marius to his car.

Marius noticed my red eyes in the car. What moved me was that he did not ask anything. He just asked me to fasten my seat belt...
