"Are you still mad at me?" asked Theodore.Rosalie's expression suggested that she hated him to the core. It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry. Her heart was filled with resentment towards him."Would I dare to be mad at you? Go back to Cynthia's side so you don't have to see a malicious woman like me and feel upset!"Upon hearing the word she used, a sudden pang of pain struck the man's heart. She had taken everything he said in anger to heart.While Theodore was at a loss for words, Rosalie started coughing again. He quickly pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.His voice was soft as he said, "Can I take your temperature? Be good, okay?""Let go of me," Rosalie said, pushing against his chest.However, Theodore held onto her tightly, not letting her move."If you let me take your temperature, I'll let you go. If not, I'll keep holding you like this."He would hold her like this all night if he had to.Rosalie pushed at his chest forcefully. "I don't want
With a thermometer in her mouth, Rosalie looked tired but also pouty. It was kind of cute, yet really heartbreaking. When enough time had passed, Theodore took the thermometer from her mouth and checked the temperature.Thirty-eight degrees. She had a slight fever.Seeing this number, Theodore's brow furrowed with worry. "I'll take you to the hospital for some IV fluids.""No, I don't want to go to the hospital," Rosalie firmly refused."But you have a fever, you need-""Theodore, why do you want to take me to the hospital again? You've already traumatized me. Don't you remember? It's because of you I ended up like this. What else do you want?"Rosalie was deliberately being harsh as she was terrified of going to the hospital. If he found out she was pregnant, it would be a disaster.Theodore paused, then said, "Okay, you don't have to go to the hospital. I'll have a doctor come over instead.""Anthony gave me medicine, and I've already taken it. I just want to sleep now."In
Theodore didn't get a wink of sleep all night. He stayed by Rosalie's side, checking on her whenever she made a sound, making sure she wasn't uncomfortable and giving her water if she needed it.As dawn broke, Theodore raised his hand to Rosalie's forehead to check her temperature yet again. Seeing that her fever had finally gone down, he breathed a sigh of relief.Exhausted, Theodore sat up and pinched the bridge of his nose. As he walked drowsily to the bathroom, he accidentally kicked the trash can, startling himself. He was afraid that the sound would wake Rosalie, but thankfully, she was still sound asleep.When he bent down to push the trash can back into place, he noticed two pills in it, puzzling him. Didn't Rose say she had taken the medicine? Then, why were the pills in the trash? Why would she lie to him? It was just two pills, so why wouldn't she take them? She wasn't the type to refuse medicine.Feeling uneasy, Theodore turned his head and stared deeply at the woman sl
Rosalie wished she hadn't made that call. Just hearing Yuvan's words was enough to make her vividly imagine what must be happening between Theodore and Cynthia. Unable to bear it, she abruptly ended the call and tossed her phone aside, collapsing on the bed in tears."Theodore, you jerk!"Thinking about what Theodore might be doing in the bathroom with Cynthia, whether they were just washing up or showering together, Rosalie felt like her whole world was crashing down on her.She had thought she was beyond hurt. She thought it would be fine as long as she didn't see it or think about it. But hearing it made it impossible for her not to. She felt tightness in her chest, making even breathing hurt. For the sake of the child in her belly, she forced herself to take deep breaths.Lunch was quickly prepared, and Rosalie went to the dining room to eat. She had no appetite, but for the child's sake, she forced herself to eat. She stuffed the food into her mouth and swallowed hard, but her
Theodore frowned. "You were clinging to me last night, and now you won't let me touch you. What's with the attitude?""I'm throwing a tantrum! Don't you remember? I splashed water on Cynthia's face! Go to her. She's better, isn't she? Don't come to me!" said Rosalie, her voice filled with bitterness."Are you still upset about last night?""I don't want to talk about last night!"Rosalie realized that she was more angry about this morning's incident than what happened last night."I admit I was too impulsive last night. Cindy attempted suicide, and I didn't think too much at the time. I don't know what exactly happened between you two. Let's both take a step back and not bring it up again, okay?" said Theodore, trying to make peace.Rosalie snorted coldly. "You dragged me out when you were angry and tried to force me to apologize to her, but now you say we shouldn't talk about it? So, everything has to be according to your wishes.""Then, I apologize to you. If you blame me, go
Theodore ignored her refusal and said, "When you called me, I was indeed in the bathroom with Cindy.""Stop talking, I won't listen!" Rosalie covered her ears. "I don't want to hear what you did for her in there!"Theodore grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled it away from her ears. "Why won't you listen? What do you think I did with her?""You know very well what you did," Rosalie said angrily.Theodore suddenly chuckled. "Rose, do you finally understand how it feels?"Rosalie was puzzled. "What are you talking about?""Last night, at the hospital, you blamed me for not listening to your explanation, but now you're also unwilling to listen to mine."Rosalie froze. She was indeed unwilling to listen to his explanation, but did he need to explain anything between him and Cynthia?"That's different!" Rosalie protested."How is it different? You only heard that I was with her in the bathroom, but you don't want to hear why I was in there. Just like last night, I only heard that yo
Every time he brought this up, it hurt Rosalie. She didn't mean what she said back then. She loved him to death, so how could she have had enough of him?"If you don't like me, why keep a grudge? You don't have to get jealous when I'm with Cindy," he said."Why aren't you happy when I'm with Sebastian, then? If you think you can be with other women just because I don't like you, then I should be able to do the same, right? Fine! I'll go see Sebastian now! And there are plenty of men on the streets I can find! I'll look for one right now!" she retorted."Rosalie!" Theodore suddenly grabbed her shoulder, his voice somewhat angry, "Don't you dare say such things again, got it?"Staring at his angry face, Rosalie was somewhat surprised. Her heart pounded heavily in her chest, but she quickly said defiantly, "Why not? You're always like this, having double standards!""It's not about double standards. You're a girl! Safety comes first. How can you go looking for random men everywhere?
"You were sick. Why wouldn't I come back?" Theodore was puzzled by her question. He was her husband, after all. It seemed odd that she even had to ask."But Cynthia’s also in the hospital, isn't she?" Cynthia had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, while Rosalie only had a slight fever. Though Rosalie felt Cynthia's attempt was likely insincere—people who genuinely wanted to die rarely chose to cut their wrists—she knew Cynthia was important to Theodore."Are you asking me to go back to the hospital?" Theodore stared at her coldly, somewhat displeased."Well, you could. Your darling might be waiting for you." Hearing her sarcastic tone, Theodore felt exasperated. He couldn't tell if she genuinely wanted him to leave, or if she was just jealous.He sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing his weary expression, Rosalie softened. He hadn't slept all night, and he must be exhausted. She remembered the last time he had a fatigue-induced accident. She didn't want a rep
