Geoffrey and Xyla both fell silent after listening to Christopher.

Xyla glanced at Geoffrey, opening her mouth as if to say something, but she eventually kept her silence.

Geoffrey had never shown his vulnerable side to anyone, even when his son’s life was in danger in the operating theater.

He looked indifferent as he said to his wife and Christopher, “I need the washroom.”

Then, he turned to leave.

Xyla folded her arms over her chest, leaned against the wall, and sighed. “I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”

She didn’t look sad, but her expression was somber. If she were a stranger to Sebastian, her reaction would have seemed too much—but as his mother, her reaction was in fact slightly underwhelming.

Christopher stepped forward and asked, “How were things when you and Geoffrey were there?”

Xyla gave him a slight smile. “What else? We just sat around, staring at each other. Well, we did end up talking in the end. It’s been so many years since we had a good chat. Ou

    “Alright. No matter what decision you make, I’ll always support you. If you don’t want to hold out any longer, go ahead with the divorce. I’m sure you’ll find a better man,” Christopher said. Xyla smiled bitterly. “Why bother? I’m already so advanced in years.”“Just listen to yourself. You’re my sister, the daughter of the Jackson family, for goodness’ sake. Hordes of men vie for your attention, I’m sure.”Xyla looked at him, teary-eyed. “Chris, thank you for your support. I was a fool to insist on marrying Geoffrey back then. I was blind, and refused to listen to everyone’s advice.”Her remorseful expression broke Christopher’s heart. He approached her, and put an arm around her shoulder, patting her gently. “Should I teach Geoffrey a lesson for you? Just a word from you, and I’ll do anything you ask of me.”Xyla shook her head. “No. He has never mistreated me over the years. It’s just that he didn’t love me as much as I wanted him to. I really had it coming. I just want to q

    Sydney sneered, "After seeing that woman's true colors, you suddenly discover you love me? Why didn't you love me all those years before?""Sydney, I'm slow and an idiot. I've realized my mistakes, and I'll do my best to make it up to you. You’re my only wife," Wesley said humbly and sincerely."I'm still your wife," Sydney said, "and we've been together all these years. What more do you want?""I..." Wesley didn't know what to say. He feared that if he said too much, Sydney would find him annoying. Although they were still married and often spent the night together, this relationship felt more like two people merely fulfilling each other's needs. When they needed each other, they spent the night together; when they didn't, they ignored each other and pretended to be strangers.What kind of marriage was this?Wesley didn't want to discuss it further, afraid Sydney wouldn't even give him a little bit of attention."By the way, Sydney, someone just called you. He said it was ab

    The surgery lasted a full six hours. Finally, the doctor came out of the operating theater.Everyone rushed forward to ask about Sebastian. "Doctor, how is he?" The doctor, looking exhausted, took off his mask."Earlier, Mr. Carter was in a coma, and his condition was critical. We couldn't restore blood flow to his brain. Operating on him would have been too risky, and the current medications aren't effective at all. But this morning, we noticed some activity in his brain. After examining him, we found that blood supply had been unexpectedly restored in his brain. However, this also caused a brain hemorrhage, so we had to remove the hematoma, which is much less risky."Rosalie pondered the doctor's words for a moment before asking, "Now that the blood supply is restored to his brain, does it mean there's hope for him?"The doctor nodded. "This is a good sign, and it's also quite miraculous. We performed a successful brain hematoma removal surgery on him. Now he needs to be taken

    Geoffrey walked over. "Rose, do you want to go home with me? We can't go in to see Sebastian right now. We can only wait for news."He could see that Rosalie's concern for Sebastian was genuine.Rosalie turned around, and said, "You all go back and rest. I'll stay at the hospital. Someone needs to be here.""Then I'll stay here. You all go back," Geoffrey said."But I want to stay here with Sebastian. Even if I can't go in, at least I can watch over him," Rosalie insisted.Seeing Rosalie's determination, Geoffrey nodded. "Alright. Then, I'll stay too."Geoffrey would be restless if he went back, anyway."Let her stay here with Sebastian. You can book a hotel near the hospital. If anything happens, you can get here quickly. Staying at the hospital doesn't make much sense right now, since we can't go into the ward," Christopher said."Yeah, Mom and Dad," Yvonne said. "You've traveled a long distance. You must be tired. Go and rest first."Geoffrey looked exhausted as he nodded.

    Christopher nodded. "No problem. You must also keep what I've told you a secret. We're in this together now."Yvonne murmured an agreement, then finally said, "Actually, Rose and my brother's marriage is fake."She then recounted everything to Christopher.After hearing her story, Christopher fell silent. "I didn't expect that. If they divorce, it shouldn't be a big issue.""It won't be a big deal for Rose, but it will be for Seb. His feelings for her are real. If he finds out she’s his cousin, he won't be able to handle it. Given his current condition, even if he wakes up, he'll need a long recovery period and can't handle such a shock. Who knows what the consequences will be if we tell him!""Yes, this is a difficult situation. Let's keep this between us and play it by ear," Christopher said heavily."Okay." Yvonne nodded. "That's all we can do for now."She still couldn't believe that Rosalie was her cousin. Reality was indeed more dramatic than any TV show!-Rosalie stayed

    Theodore frowned. "What could I do to her? Eat her?""You..." Yvonne was about to retort, but Rosalie tugged at her arm. "Vonnie, ignore him. Let's go."Rosalie pulled Yvonne away, trying to leave."I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone?" Theodore said."We have nothing to talk about," Rosalie sneered."Just two minutes, right here. We don't have to go anywhere."Theodore stood in front of Rosalie like a mountain, making it clear he wouldn't let her leave without saying his piece.After thinking for a moment, Rosalie turned to Yvonne. "Vonnie, you go rest for a bit. I'll look for you once I'm done.""Rose, do you really want to talk to him?" Yvonne asked, worried."It's fine." Rosalie gave Theodore a cold look. "I'll be right here. I won't go anywhere.""Okay, but just for a couple of minutes! I'll be waiting for you." Yvonne shot Theodore a warning glare before leaving."Didn't you say you were transferring Cynthia to another hospital? Why are you still here?" Ros

    Everything was too much of a coincidence, to the extent that she was suspicious. Who else would go to this length to help her besides Theodore?Before, she might have suspected he was the one behind the attack on Sebastian, but that was just her being impetuous. When she calmed down, she thought Theodore wouldn't do such a thing. He might fight with Sebastian, but he wouldn't do something so vicious behind his back.However, both Sebastian and the injured man today had hearts that matched Cynthia's.She couldn't imagine Theodore being such a person, capable of doing something so cruel just to find a suitable heart for Cynthia. However, all of this was just her speculation. She had no evidence.Theodore looked uneasy. "Why are you looking at me like that? I know you don't care if Cindy lives or dies. I told you this not because I want to gloat, but because..."Theodore paused, wanting to say something, but then stopping."Because what?" Rosalie asked coldly. She wanted to hear wha

    This was the first time 48 hours seemed like a century to Rosalie, and she spent it in agony because she didn't know what the outcome would be. The only thing she could do was wait.Every second was agonizing. What frightened her more than the torment of waiting was receiving a terrible result in the end.If the outcome was destined to be tragic, Rosalie would rather endure the torment of waiting forever than hear an answer that would lead to her despair.Cynthia's surgery was also over; her heart transplant was very successful. She didn't know the donor, but was very aware of how that person died. No one knew how this came to be, except maybe the gods, her, and Yerick.Rosalie didn't know that from time to time, Theodore would secretly and silently watch her as she worried and grieved for Sebastian. He could only hide in the shadows, not daring to appear before her, and endure heart-wrenching pain.He had lost Rosalie by his own doing, and now, he could only hide behind the scene

    The two of them sat around the dining table, eating dinner as they chatted.Theodore looked disinterested as he chatted with Aurora. She could sense that as well, so she went silent and didn't bother him much.After dinner, he told her to do whatever she pleased before returning to his room. He never came out and Aurora wondered what he was doing inside.Aurora hovered outside Theodore's room, pacing back and forth many times. She wanted to knock on the door and talk to him, but she stopped herself many times for fear that he might be annoyed with her.Yerick said that he could make her get pregnant with Theodore's child.Although she managed to move to Theodore's place, he wasn't passionate with her at all, unlike in the past. He would never touch her.Aurora put her hand gently on the door as she whispered, "Theo, I'll do anything for you. I really love you."In the deep of the night, Theodore tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.He pulled out a drawer and ret

    Theodore sighed. "Rest and recuperate well. I'll send someone to find your ex-boyfriend. When I do, I'll use my network to make sure he sits in jail for a few years. I'm sure he's committed multiple crimes.""Thank you. If you really manage to find him, putting him behind bars is enough. But what should I do before you find him? He could come to me anytime. He said he'll never set me free and will kill me. He looked like he had gone mad.""I'll send someone to protect you. Don't worry.""Theo, can I…""What?" Theodore could sense that Aurora had something to say. "Just speak your mind. Don't beat around the bush.""Theo, I'm really scared. Can I stay with you before you find him? Don't worry, if you don't want me disturbing you, I won't. I'm just so scared to be by myself… I have nightmares when I sleep."Afraid that he might misunderstand, Aurora hurriedly added, "Don't worry, once he's found and put behind bars, I'll move out immediately. I'm just so scared right now. Please, I

    Theodore lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He felt a fire burning in his heart, his mind unable to stop thinking about Rosalie.Whether his eyes were opened or closed, all he could see was her.Frustrated, he flipped to his side to pull out a drawer and retrieve a bottle of pills. He couldn't calm himself down without medication.Just then, his phone rang. Theodore picked it up and saw the name on his phone screen—it was Aurora.He flung his phone aside.It kept ringing, irritating him greatly. Eventually, he answered the call. "What do you want?""Theo, save me! Save me, quick!"Shock registered on Theodore's face. "What happened?""He's chasing after me… Can I go find you? I really have nowhere else to go! I'm so scared!""Who's chasing after you? Where are you right now?""I…I'm now at… It's so dark, I can't tell. I'm hiding in a small alleyway right now. As I came here, I think I walked past a bar called Endless. I took a right turn and ended up in this alleyway. I'm

    Aurora collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed by the sudden force. Her head was pounding and she cupped her red, hot cheeks with her hands. "What…what did you do? Why did you slap me?" she asked, stunned. Yerick looked down upon her, his towering figure dark and frightening in the night. "Are you taking me as your hitman, ordering me around as you like?"It was enough that she ordered him to kill another. How dare she ask him to kill Rosalie?! She was digging her grave!"I didn't mean that," Aurora said agitatedly. "I'm just so scared! We're on the same boat, so we should help each other out.""Help each other out?" Yerick crouched down and pinched her chin. "Tell me, then. What have you helped me with so far? Why do you think I arranged for you to be by Theodore's side and allowed you to get to know him? What do you think is my motive?""I…I don't know!" Aurora said with trembling lips. The man before her was way too frightening, his eyes ghostly as he chuckled. "But I'll do wha

    Justin brought the baby home and saw Rosalie spacing out before the kitchen counter. She didn't even realize they were home."Mama," Steve called out to her.Rosalie heard him and turned to look at them. "You're back."She took Steve from Justin's hands and held him in her arms."Rose, are you alright? What did Theodore tell you?" Justin asked. "Aurora felt guilty and made Angie her scapegoat. Angie has been nabbed by the police," Rosalie replied.Justin frowned. "Angie surely wouldn't be a sitting duck. She'll expose Aurora.""That's not wrong," Rosalie said. "The problem is, Aurora is too good at putting up a facade. Theodore doesn't trust Angie and he said he'll investigate things and find out if Aurora was involved. At the end of the day, he refuses to believe that Aurora is capable of something like that. He subconsciously thinks that Angie was solely responsible.""That sounds like something he would do," Justin concluded. "Last time, I could tell he's very protective of

    Theodore turned around. "Is there something else?"Justin walked over. "Do you want to hold him? He seems eager to hug you."Theodore paused. Then, he gave a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth."No, you take him upstairs." The more he held Steve, the harder it would be to let go. He didn't even know why he felt such strong emotions for Steve. Perhaps it was because Steve was Rosalie's child, and thus, he couldn't help but care for the baby.Seeing this, Justin didn't insist. He was about to leave when suddenly, Steve started crying in his arms. Steve stretched out his hands toward Theodore, trying to reach him.Hearing the cries, Theodore's heart tightened. He turned around and saw Justin trying to soothe the child."Steve, what's wrong? Are you hungry? I'll take you back right away."Steve continued crying, louder and louder, and Theodore felt as if his heart were being squeezed. His feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move.Justin took a few steps b

    "And what about you?" Theodore countered. "Rose, when will you finally see what kind of people are around you? Sebastian's two-faced, pretentious, and full of lies. Justin has blood on his hands, with numerous enemies. He's like a ticking time bomb, and both of them will only bring you disaster."Rosalie sneered. "And how much disaster have you brought me? Do you think the mental torment you've caused me isn't enough?"Theodore gave a bitter smile. "Rose, do you want me to die to make up for the harm I've caused you?""No, I just hope you won't bother me anymore. I have my own life now. Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with you. Once upon a time, Grandma was the last connection between us, but now that she's gone, we have nothing left."She avoided Theodore's gaze. "You should go now."Theodore clenched his fists. "If this is what you want, then I understand. I'll stay away from you in the future and won't bother you again, because, as you said, we have nothing left."Wi

    Theodore was about to speak, but then he remembered he had important matters to discuss today and couldn't be sidetracked by Justin."Rose, I have something important to tell you. Let's talk privately.""If you have something to say, just say it," Rosalie replied. She knew he wanted Justin to leave, but she didn't mind if Justin knew what was going on.Theodore gave Justin a cold glance before continuing, "This matter concerns Grandma. I don't want anyone else around. It's something that should only be discussed between the two of us.""He's not an outsider," Rosalie replied without hesitation. "He can know about Grandma's matters too."Seeing the two of them about to argue, Justin immediately said, "I'll take Steve out for a walk and come back later."With that, Justin left.Rosalie quickly said, "Justin, you don't need to…""It's fine," he interrupted her. "I'll take him downstairs for a walk."With that, Justin left with Steve.Rosalie took a step back and said to Theodore, "Come in

    Aurora looked incredibly sorrowful, completely unlike someone who was acting. Theodore, for a moment, didn't know whether he should believe her or not.When Rosalie had first told him, he had only defended Aurora, completely ignoring Angie.Now, with Aurora telling him that it was Angie who killed Rebecca, Theodore couldn't be 100% certain that Aurora was not involved in this matter.It felt like a layer of mist had been added, blurring his vision and preventing him from seeing clearly.After a long while, Theodore released Aurora."Get better first," he said, turning to leave.Suddenly, he heard some movement behind him. Turning around, he saw Aurora stumbling toward the window in the ward. She forcefully pulled open the window and jumped straight down.Theodore's brows tightened, and with rocket-like speed, he rushed forward. He grabbed her from behind and pulled her back from the window ledge. "What are you doing?!""Theo, let me die! I don't want to live anymore. Just pretend I kil
