The Woman From Hell

Chapter 801

She took off her coat, shoes, and socks and walked barefooted toward the snowdrift. She seemed to be swaying with the cold north wind with every step she took.

Grayson looked at her, and even though his eyes were filled with pain, he did not stop her.

All of a sudden, I felt suffocated and my breathing became laborious.

Everyone was punishing themselves in the way they were satisfied with. It was as though I should let the matter drop after they were done punishing themselves.

"What are all of you doing?” I asked in a calm tone.

I looked at Theo, who was about to freeze to ice, and clenched my teeth. "You know I love you and can't stand seeing you punishing yourself like this, so why are you still doing it? Why can’t you just let the pain in my heart remain buried and insist on digging it out? Why are you forcing me to tear my wounds apart and pull out all the bloody and rotten contents inside?"

Theo's body trembled as he looked at me with a pained expression. "Other than doing this, I don't know what else I can do to help you let-"

"Let go?" A mocking smile appeared on my face. "Are you hoping to see me be moved to tears and say that I forgive you? That I forgive you for changing my life and for killing our baby by mistake? What if I don't forgive you? Will that make me the most narrowminded person in this world?”

Looking at Theo’s complexion that was turning paler and paler, I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment. I said with much difficulty, "Can't I choose to not let go?"

There was a choice to not bring this up again. As long as this was not brought up, I could pretend that none o f this had happened and spend the rest of my life with him peacefully.

Theo’s lips were green and purple. He looked at me and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but did not know what he was supposed to say.

After a long silence, he lowered his head and let out a self-deprecating smile. "I've taken things for granted."

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down." Theo, I know you want to beg for my forgiveness and theirs. Then we can all live in harmony as if none of the bad things had ever happened. But do you think it’s realistic to use this method?"

The so-called atonement was not supposed to be done like this.

I looked at Petra, who was standing barefooted in the snow. I did not know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a very long time, I said, "Do you know

what you’re doing? You’re using my sympathy to force me to forgive you. If I remain unmoved even after you’re nearly frozen to death in the snow, I will seem narrow-minded and cruel. Everyone will despise me."

hearing what I said, Petra's complexion turned pale. The color of her lips lost
