The Woman From Hell



Marius looked around and then took a few steps back before saying to me in a voice that only the two of us could hear. "It's inconvenient because there are so many people here. There's a teahouse not far ahead. I'll reserve a private room, and you come over."

"Alright."

After hearing my response, Marius walked forward without looking back like we were just passersby who met by chance.

"Wanda, why are you all the way here?"

Aunt Nessa came looking for me after not seeing me for a long time.

Fortunately, Marius had left first. Otherwise, she would have informed Matthew.

"It's a bit hot over there. I'm here to enjoy the shade," I explained.

She did not doubt me. She grabbed my hand and wanted to lead me to the temple. "The ceremony has begun. Let's go in quickly." "What ceremony?"

"We can go over and join the sermon. Everyone will be chanting scriptures and offering worship." Aunt Nessa was very enthusiastic.

I thought it was a good opportunity, so I stopped and said with a smile, "Aunt Nessa, I'm actually not very interested in these things. Why don't you go

on ahead and participate in it? I see a teahouse ahead. I'll wait for you there. Come and find me after it ends."

"That works too. I'll leave you alone for now, then. You just stay still in the teahouse, alright?"

"I got it. Don't worry."

Aunt Nessa rushed to take part in the ceremony. I figured she was a believer, which was why she was so passionate.

Without restraint, I walked to the teahouse ahead.

I could smell the fragrance of tea the moment I entered through the door. I went up to the front desk and was about to ask my question when Marius poked his head out of the private room and waved to me. "Sis Wan, here."

Seeing him, I headed toward the private room. I could no longer hold back my joy after going in, and the corners of my mouth raised unconsciously. "How did you know I'm here?"

There was also a smile on Marius'

handsome face. He tilted his head and said, "After we learned your location yesterday, I immediately searched Anmead Village and located their privatework. There was an announcement on it saying that they would be coming here to offer blessings today. I made a guess that you might come, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to actually be here."

"I only told Theo about this. How did you know?"

Hearing this, Marius looked at me with bitterness and hatred. He sighed. "You've been gone forContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

almost half a month. Theo has gone mad missing you and has been getting people to search for you every day. We had everything squeezed out of us. We were all there when he answered your call yesterday. Knowing that Matthew had taken you, President Grant was worried that his goal might be bigger, so he had me come here first. Matthew doesn't know me,

after all. It's safer for me to be here."

This was to avoid alarming the enemy.

I nodded. "Is Theo sick? I heard his voice yesterday. He sounded terrible."

"He's sick. He caught a cold the third day you went missing, and it hasn't gotten better. It must be a sickness of the heart." There was also slight sentimentality in his words when Marius said that. "I think I would have gotten sick too if we still hadn't found you."

I did not hear what he said clearly, however. I was fixated on the first sentence, and my heart ached. "Let's go now."

I could not wait to see Theo.

"Okay, let's go."

Marius stood up and helped me out of the private room.

"Where's your car parked?"

"There's a parking lot under the temple. It's quite a distance. It doesn't matter if we take it a little slowly." Marius supported me carefully in case I accidentally fell. He kept protecting me.

We arrived at the parking lot. Marius was about to unlock the car when unexpectedly, a horrid voice reached my ears. "Wanda!"
