Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 861 Theodore Comforts Susan

In the end, Justine and Susan compromised and went to catch some sleep in the room. But Susan left right after she walked Justine there. She left along with Justine only because she wanted her to take a break. She wasn't in the mood of sleeping, for fear that she could never see Manuel once she fell asleep. So she returned to the CIU.

Theodore was there for Manuel. She used to think Theodore was a shaky playboy, who was good at nothing but playing around. It changed her mind when she saw him standing beside Oscar in a suit and tie. Theodore was more mature and reliable than she had thought.

She went over. Theodore also saw her. She was exhausted but still insisted on being there for Manuel. Theodore couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Susan had asked Manuel to stay the night before, and Hannah must have asked Susan to do her the favor. Hannah was always a smart cookie. She knew it would be dangerous to escape, so she tried everything to make Manuel stay to save her.

Nevertheless, Hannah hadn't imagined that Manuel would throw himself in danger to save her and that he could die for her. Theodore would also risk his life to save Hannah. It was all for Oscar. Since they were young, they had been told to save someone Oscar loved and cared about at any cost. They lived for Oscar and the reign of the Wells family.

"Why not get some rest?" Theodore calmed himself and said. Normally, he looked playful and unreliable, but he turned out to be calm and reasonable when it came to something big.

"I can't sleep." Said Susan.

"You can't help here." Said Theodore coldly. He was still mad at Susan for keeping Manuel though he had figured out the whole thing.

Susan swallowed slightly. It was true that she could do nothing to help Manuel. On the contrary, she had brought him so many misfortunes.

Theodore glanced at her and looked back at Manuel, "Manuel wanted to stay."

For one second, he wished to kill her for Manuel lying in there. He had seen it coming that Susan would get Manuel killed someday. But he didn't have the heart to hurt her when she was so down. Manuel loved Susan and would feel bad even when Theodore shouted at her. Well, the Wells family were fated to be screwed by women, just like Oscar and Manuel, he thought.

"I didn't know it would end up like this." Said Susan, who didn't know who she should turn to and get it off her chest since Manuel was injured in the accident.

She couldn't talk to Hannah because the latter might feel guilty. She knew Hannah was suffering no less, and didn't want to upset her more. She couldn't talk to Justine, either, not because she was afraid of being blamed, but because she didn't want Justine to feel worse. Anyway, her only son Manuel was in a coma because of her, who wasn't worthy of him. So, Theodore was the only possible listener. To her, Theodore was strange but familiar. For the first time, she felt he was a reliable man, who could take a lot that others couldn't.

"I didn't imagine he would be in life danger. I thought he'd get slightly injured and would be fine in a couple of days." Susan said with her eyes swelled with tears, "I'm a damn fool. I've been too naive! I didn't see things would end up so bad!"

Theodore could understand her feelings. One could never see how dangerous it could be unless he went through some terrible things. Susan was an innocent girl who was brought up in a beautiful world. That was why she couldn't see the dark sides of the world and didn't know a lot of shits couldn't be settled by law.

"Manuel won't blame you." Comforted Theodore. He just told her Manuel's mind that he saved Hannah willingly, and he wanted to stay for Susan.

"Maybe I'm a jinx!" Susan said in tears.

Because of her, Manuel had been injured a lot. For her, he had once disabled his legs. For her, he had almost fallen off the roof. Now he was unconscious in bed because she had told him to stay. Maybe she should simply stay away from him.

"If he survived, I would stay far away from him. I can do anything as long as he lives..." Susan choked with sobs and murmured in grief. She couldn't cry her heart out since Manuel was injured. She was afraid she couldn't get herself together before Manuel woke up.

"You fool!" Theodore swore and said with concern, "Manuel wouldn't survive if you left him."

He patted her on the head lightly, "Would you like to cry on my shoulder?"

Susan stared at him. For the first time, she got the feeling that Theodore was so gentle and sweet. For God's sake, he was loathing before and she used to hate him a lot.

"We're good friends, right?" Theodore smiled lightly. He didn't forget that they got drunk and swore to be good friends but just refused to admit it.

Susan looked at him and began to weep. For such a long time, she was all on her own and sucked it in silence. She had learned and forced herself to be strong. But she still wanted someone to be there for her and warm her heart. Tears dropped down non-stop.

Theodore opened his arms and indicated her to come. Susan choked with sobs and could vaguely see his broad and strong chest, which was someplace like a shelter for her.

However, she wiped her tears the next second, "No need. I'm good. Thanks."

Theodore frowned slightly. Susan looked like she would collapse any minute. He could even see in her eyes that she longed for comfort and care. It surprised him when she turned him down.

Susan managed to calm herself, "I'm afraid that Manuel wakes up and sees that. I don't want him to think I'm a loose woman."

Theodore was speechless.
