Chapter 223
“I do,” Nicolas said difficultly. It was not because it was against his will, but Thea’s pale and thin face made him pity her.
He added, “I’ve already stopped the source of the rumors online Thea, you don’t have to care about them. If you really feel terrible, you can cry in my arms.”
He hugged her with his large arms, his movements loving and careful. His palm rubbed against the fine and soft hair on Thea’s head.
Only at this moment could Nicolas truly feel Thea’s existence.
He said, “I was too careless. I didn’t even notice such a big thing in advance. Thea, I hope you can give me a chance… to compensate for the harm this matter has caused you.”
Nicolas’s gaze was too sincere. If not for the sweet fragrance of flowers and fruits that belonged solely to Stephanie, Thea would definitely be immersed in the warnith of this moment.
The lingering fragrance made her nervous.
Thea used all her strength to pull away from Nicolas. “Where were you just now?”
Nicolas couldn’t answer her.
He felt that it was definitely not a good time to tell Thea about Vergil ‘s child.
His stuttering made Thea nervous. She asked, “You just went to see Stephanie, right?”
Her face turned cold. “You said that you believe that the child is ours, but you still want to protect the murderer who killed our child…”
“Thea, calm down. Don’t hurt yourself.” Nicolas tried his best to comfort her.
However, it was useless. Every sentence was like rubbing salt into Thea’s wound.
He said, “I hate her too, but now is not the time to deal with Stephanie… Believe me, I will definitely make her pay the price
Thea did not believe a word Nicolas said. She asked, “Why do you have to protect her at this time?”
She clenched her fingers into her palms until it was bleeding, but she did not notice it. “If now is not the time, how long do I have to wait before I can avenge my child?”
Nicolas rarely saw her emotions shown in her eyes.
However, he was indeed silenced by Thea’s question.
“Just a little more time…” he managed to say.
Stephanie had yet to tell Vergil’s child’s whereabouts. She only said that she had to pick him up person so she could let down the guard of the mother.
At the very least, before Nicolas picked up Vergil’s child, he could not hurt Stephanie.
However, Thea was so angry that she laughed. “Nicolas, if you want to protect her, you don’t have to stall for time. After all, you owe her brother a favor. Additionally, you and her have been together for many years.”
Thea was not someone who liked to dwell on a dead end. This time was an exception.

Chapter 223

As long as she closed her eyes, she felt that she could hear the sound of her baby crying.
Her child who was covered in blood did not even have time to look at the beautiful scenery of the world.
If she did not avenge her child, she felt that no one else would remember the baby’s existence, including Nicolas.
Thea was emitting a cold aura. “Nicolas, you can continue to protect her. No one can touch the person you want to protect. But I swear that I will fight both of you till I die!”
She felt that she had to avenge her baby at all costs.
When Nicolas saw the determination on Thea’s face, he panicked.
He said, “Thea, I’ve never wanted to protect her… I only love you. It’s just that the situation now is special. Can you give me some time?”
He knew that if he did not try his best to salvage the situation now, he would probably lose her forever.
If it was in the past, Thea would have compromised. However, Stephanie had taken her baby’s life.
“No.” Thea’s voice became serious. “Nicolas, continue to protect Ms. Ralap… The so–called probation period between us is void. I will stay in Silvercreek during this period of time. When I have time, I will go back to settle the divorce procedures with you…”
Her resolute words did not give Nicolas any chance to redeem himself.
Thea smiled bitterly. “There are too many people who have been eyeing my position, but how would they know that this position is not so easy to keep!”
She looked determined, but there was still a tearing pain in her heart as she spoke It was because Nicolas was too charming and outstanding.
Though they had not known each other for long, Nicolas would always help her at the most critical moments and save her time and time again.
Her feelings for him were even greater than what she had for Jake.
Nicolas showed her what it meant to love But at this moment, she had to pull herself away from this relationship. This was a very difficult thing to do.
Thea met Nicolas’s dark and solemn eyes. She forced a smile with difficulty before saying, “I’ll let you go. You should understand what I’m saying, right? Also, let me remind you. You’d better keep an eye on Stephanie. I’ll definitely do everything in my power to make her pay with her life for my child!”
Thea was destined to go against Nicolas.
Her cold attitude completely shattered Nicolas’s heart.
He did not understand. Though they clearly confessed their feelings for each other, Thea was still able to casually decide to divorce him.
However, he also knew that he had really broken Thea’s heart this time.
Thea hugged the pillow and glared at him. “Nicolas, do I have to kick you out?”
She looked as if she was about to get up.
In this world, only Thea dared to be rude to Nicolas.

He softened his attitude. “Thea, I’ll leave… The doctor said that your wound hasn’t recovered yet and it’s not good for you to get out of bed. I hope you can consider the divorce carefully. I’ll wait until I can give you a clear explanation before appearing in front of you.”
Thea knew very well that Nicolas could not afford this explanation. No matter what Stephanie did, he could not punish her.
In the end, Thea felt that she would never be as important as Stephanie and Vergil in Nicolas’s heart.
However, she would avenge herself.
In the days that followed, Nicolas did not appear in front of her again. The caregiver did not leave.
Thea had the desire to revenge as support. Her body recovered faster than expected. Even the caregiver could not help but sigh. “Mrs. Hendrix, this is the first time I’ve seen someone recover as fast as you do. Unfortunately, you and Mr. Hendrix….”
She stopped talking, and Thea did not ask further.
However, she knew that Nicolas would come to stand outside her door every night.
Sometimes, he would come to ask the caregiver about Thea’s situation.
Sometimes, he would just stand at the door and stare at her for a while.
Thea pretended not to know.
She felt that there was nothing to talk about between she and Nicolas after what happened to their baby.
