Theo pursed his lips. He refused to answer him as if h e did not hear what Matthew had said. He focused on staring at me, his eyes filled with suppressed pain and remorse.
I saw this and did not feel anything in my heart.
It was only right he felt the pain and remorse, was it not?
"Wanda Lane." Zedd returned to the ward alone. He stood at the door and glared icily at me. "There's no way Cindy would ever do something like that. If you dare to continue framing her, I won't let you go easily."
"Zedd." Mason frowned. "You can't be sure that it wasn't her doing. You can’t blindly take her side.”
Zedd ignored him and continued warning me. "Theo is also sorrowful over the loss of the baby. He’s not feeling any less pain than you are, so how dare you continue putting the blame on him and make it more painful than it already is for him?"
"President Nichols, you're such a faithful, protective, and loyal hound." Matthew was merciless with his words.
Zedd turned to look at him, his eyes were bloodshot. H e was clearly enraged.
"Enough." I did not want them to start arguing since it would only increase the irritation in my heart. "Zedd Nichols, I know you’re overprotective, but please, just use your brain to think of the situation rationally, alright?"
I looked at Theo and continued. "When I was kidnapped, it was during Cindy Reed's birthday party. When I was being tortured, your good friend over here was at her birthday party, where both of them were announcing their engagement."
"I’m not engaged to her," Theo replied hastily.
"Does your opinion matter here?" I sneered. "Everyone knows that you two are engaged and you're Cindy Reed's fiance. As long as I and the baby in my belly died, would it matter if you had a lawfully wedded wife? I don't think you're absolutely clueless about Grayson Louis' vile plans."
I did not want to look at the expression on Theo’s face right now. No matter how much pain he was in or how regretful he was, I did not care.
