At that moment, Thea’s mind went blank.
She no longer had so many worldly concerns. She held Theo tightly, and with some unknown strength, her small body pushed through the crowd, pulling Theo away from the turmoil.
Her ears were filled with the furious shouting of her ex–father- in–law and ex–mother–in–law. The ex–mother–in–law’s voice was like a tearing scream, roaring angrily, “I married you for thirty years, I devoted my dowry, time, and energy to you without reservation, and what did I get in return? I got your betrayal. I could forgive you for kicking me out of the house, but you shouldn’t have wickedly plotted against our son, making him work for your illegitimate child and then kicking him out of the company. How could your heart be so cruel?”
Alaric’s face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled as he spoke, “Don’t be impulsive. Listen to me, Nathan is also my son. How could I treat him like that? Don’t worry, I will give Nathan a lot of money to start afresh. With his intelligence, he will surely make a comeback.”
Alaric’s inconsistent statements left Mrs. Hill devastated. “But you clearly said that the Hill Group would always be part of Nathan. And now you’re letting him start anew? You really have been deceiving me…”
She no longer believed Alaric, and she vigorously poured the sulfuric acid in her hand. The sulfuric acid splashed onto

screamed in pain. Of course, some guests were also affected by the unwarranted disaster. After being splashed with sulfuric acid, they fell to the ground, wailing.
The dance floor instantly turned into a battlefield, emitting horrifying screams.
Thea didn’t have time to sympathize with the injured crowd on the dance floor; she just carried Theo and walked towards the parking lot outside.
Half an hour later, Thea took Theo to the hospital.
The doctor took off Theo’s shirt and diagnosed his injuries.
Thea stood by the side, and when she saw the injuries on Theo’s back: the muscles corroded by sulfuric acid, about the size of a palm, flesh and blood blurred, revealing white bones. One can only imagine how painful it must have been. Tears. welled up in Thea’s eyes.
Theo’s face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Seeing Thea cry so sadly, he instead felt sorry for
her.
“Sister, I wasn’t hurt.” He wanted to pretend that he didn’t care, but his weak voice betrayed him.
Thea reached out her hand and gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “Theodore, who made you save me?” she couldn’t help but blame him.
Theo said, “Sister, even if it meant getting hurt for you, I would willingly risk my life.”
Thea cried so hard that she was out of breath. “You’re so

foolish. How can a pampered and privileged scion like you. endure such hardships? I’m different from you, I’ve been beaten since I was young, and even had holes in my waist. This kind of pain is normal for me. Who asked you to shield me from disaster?”
Theo felt sorry for Thea, and his eyes instantly turned red. “Ah… If I had known that you had such a difficult past, I should have come to find you earlier. From now on, I won’t. allow anyone to make you suffer.“”
Thea didn’t know whether she felt sorry for Theo or was moved by him, but suddenly she threw herself into Theo’s arms and burst into tears.
“My life was worthless, I didn’t deserve you to be so kind to
me.”
“No nonsense,” Theo rarely lost his temper. “Have you ever considered that while you belittle yourself, you are actually a precious gem in someone else’s heart?”
Thea was dumbfounded and couldn’t utter a word for a while
In one sentence, fragmented Thea, like she had taken a magical pill, underwent a spiritual and physical
transformation, transcending her tribulations and achieving metamorphosis. Her once cheap shell has now become invaluable.
Theo looked at her dumbfoundedly, without saying a word, but suddenly reached out and held her hand. This gesture warmed Thea’s heart.
The cherished feeling of happiness instantly burst.

The young nurse was moved to tears and said, “Your relationship is so beautiful, it’s really enviable! Ms., don’t worry, we will do our best to treat your brother’s injury and ensure that he doesn’t suffer too much…”
The doctor prescribed medication for Theo and instructed Thea, “These few types of medicine are to be taken orally, and these two ointments are to be applied topically. You should apply them to him once in the morning and once in the evening. With the combination of intravenous therapy, it shouldn’t take long for the injury to heal.”
Thea’s heart relaxed a little.
The doctor, being warm–hearted, said, “You go and complete the hospital admission procedures first, and we will immediately start intravenous therapy for your younger brother…”
Next, Thea handled the hospitalization procedures for Theo and paid the hospitalization fee. She also went all out to arrange a VIP single room for Theo.
After she finished all this, when she returned to the ward, Theo had already started receiving intravenous fluids. Due to his injury on the back, he could only lie on the bed. This position rendered Theo unable to do anything and he could only lie there dryly.
Thea was afraid that he was thirsty, so she quickly poured him
some water.
Theo complained, “Sister, it’s so boring. Will you talk to me?” Seeing Thea busy with this and that, she just couldn’t spare any time for him. Theo felt aggrieved.

Thea stopped her actions and sat on the bedside companion chair next to the hospital bed. She gently massaged Theo’s hand, who was receiving an infusion, and said, “Okay, sister will accompany you and talk to you. This way, you won’t feel as much pain. What do you want to hear?”
“I want to hear about your childhood,” Theo said, staring into her gentle eyes.
Thea hesitated for a moment and let out a heavy sigh.
Her childhood was either me being beaten or on the streets begging.
She didn’t want to reveal her numerous scars to Theo.
“When I was young, I did encounter an interesting incident,” she recounted with a smile. “I was around eleven or twelve years old that year, and every day after school, I would pick up recyclable trash along the street. One evening, just like any other day, I arrived at Rainbow Bridge. Normally, at that time, Rainbow Bridge was quite deserted. However, that night, it was bustling with activity, and I joined the crowd. It was then that I noticed a five or six–year–old child lying under one of the bridge pillars. I don’t know why, but when I saw that child, I felt an instant connection, as if there was some kind of bond between us. In that moment, I treated him as if he were my
own family.”
Thea said this and smiled shyly at Theo, “Do you think it’s strange? This sixth sense is particularly strong.”
Theo’s eyes filled with shock, and he suddenly tightly grasped Thea’s hand, appearing quite excited. “And then what happened?”

Thea recounted, “At that time, most of the onlookers were indifferent, but there were also a few kind–hearted people who suggested taking the child to the hospital. However, someone immediately objected in the crowd: Why did this child appear here for no reason? Who knows if this child has any serious contagious disease? Even if there is no contagious disease, if this child dies in our hands and the family holds us responsible, how can we afford the compensation?”
So the kind person retreated.
