Theo frowned and said in a deep voice, "You just underwent surgery, don't move around."
Cindy nodded obediently and shifted her gaze to my face. I could see viciousness in her eyes. "Theowy, this evil woman tried to kill me. Stay away from her. I'm worried that she'll try to kill you too.”
I sneered.
"How are you still laughing?" Cindy gritted her teeth. "I won't let this drop. I'll make you pay."
After a pause, she looked at Petra and Grayson. "Don't let her off the hook, Mom and Dad."
Petra and Grayson looked at her with complicated expressions and did not say a word.
She did not notice their strange reactions and grabbed the phone to call the police.
I looked at her with a blank expression, my emotions unstirred.
Cindy stated the name of the hospital and hung up the call before looking smugly at me. "The police will be here soon. I hope you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."
I snorted and looked at Theo.
His expression looked a little dark. It was uncertain what he was thinking about.
"Let's go.” Mason grabbed my arm.
"Why should I go?" I shook off his hand. "Wouldn't that make me an absconder, then?"
Besides, I would bear the consequences of my own actions.
Seeing how persistent I was, Mason gave up persuading me and turned to Theo, waiting for him to make a decision. However, Theo did not have the intention to say anything at all.
The police quickly arrived. When they saw Whaldorf City's distinguished figures in the ward, they were momentarily stumped.
