Bang! The bathroom door was slammed open.
Theo hugged me, despite the fact that he was still wearing clothes.
"Let go of me, Theo!" I suddenly broke down emotionally, pushing him away with all my strength.
Theo hugged me tight and refused to let go. His tone was firm. "I won't let you go. I'll never let you go."
My body went stiff as I began wailing non-stop. Like a broken tap, my tears began flowing endlessly as though they could reach the ends of the world.
After a very long time, I stopped crying. Theo turned off the shower and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll find out who did this. No matter who that person is, I'll make him or her pay a heavy price."
I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment as an aching feeling rose in my heart.
Who exactly was it?
Why did that person do such sickening things to me?
Theo carried me out of the bathroom and put me on the bed, leaning down and kissing my forehead. "Get some sleep. I'll be here with you."
How could I possibly sleep right now? When Theo saw
me staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, he clenched his fists. "You must be hungry, right? I'll ask the servants to bring some food upstairs."
I shook my head.
Bang! The door of the room was pushed open.
Tyler stood panting at the door of the room, glaring fiercely at Theo.
Later, he came over and swung his fist at Theo. The two men began waving fists at each other.
Like a puppet, I was unresponsive to their fighting and did not even spare them a glance. It was only until the two of them were tired did they finally stop.
