The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1000

Halfway through the night, there were thunderstorms and it started raining heavily outside.

I was somewhat afraid of thunder, not to mention that I was still in the hospital. I had no way of going back t o sleep after I woke up.

After lying on the bed for a very long time, I felt slightly uncomfortable and wanted to sit up.

However, my movement was a tad too big, so I knocked over the IV pole. The medicine bottle fell to the floor and shattered.

Outside the door, Stephan heard the noise and came i n. When he saw the medicine bottle that had shattered on the floor, he frowned slightly and turned around to leave. Soon, he returned with a nurse.

The nurse re-injected my IV, then explained a few things before leaving.

Stephan stared at me for a few minutes and turned around to leave. I quickly called out to him, "Wait, Mr. Stephan."

He looked back at me and asked politely, "How can I help you, Ms. Lane?”

I pursed my lips. "I want to know what sort of grudge there is between Theo and Milan."

Stephan frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to tell me. He fell silent for a very long time and merely said, "What you need now is plenty of rest, Ms. Lane.”

He turned around to leave after saying that. As I was i n a hurry to get out of bed to chase after him, I fell to the floor as soon as I stood up. My legs gave out.

I quickly said, "Since you're using my life to threaten Theo, can I at least die knowing what's going on?"

Stephan looked back at me, his face filled with displeasure. "You should cherish your life, Ms. Lane.”

I took a deep breath and said while looking at him, "I know you’re not from this country, Mr. Stephan.
