The Woman From Hell

There was a feeling of familiarity from returning to the familiar villa.

Theo helped me onto the sofa in the living room. The moment Caroline heard that I was back, she ran out of the kitchen. "Madam, you're finally back. Are you alright? How's the child?"

Seeing her nervous expression, I felt warm on the inside. I looked at her with a smile. "I'm fine, Caroline. The child is fine too."

I rubbed my big belly. Caroline noted that I was in good spirits and gradually felt relieved. "That's good. I'll go buy some groceries and prepare something that'll help replenish your body tonight. You look too think recently, so does the sir."

After she said that, Caroline left.

My eyes turned toward Theo. His pointed chin was obvious. He had really lost a lot of weight. I took his hand and put it on my stomach. "We're back. Your illness should get better soon."

"My illness will be cured soon as long as you're back." Theo hugged me. His voice was still nasally, and it was distressing.

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Munchkin has been anxious to see you, so I asked Keith to pick him up."
