“Don’t you understand what I mean? Seems like all that studying you’ve done has gone to waste,” Rosalie said coldly.The elevator doors opened again, but Theodore grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the elevator. Rosalie struggled with all her might. “Let me go! Theodore Spencer, what do you want?”He ignored her resistance, and forcefully pulled her to an empty ward. He opened the door and locked it before pressing her against the wall, his eyes spewing fire. “Rosalie Young, I’m giving you one chance. Take those words back!”“What words?” Rosalie sneered. “Are you referring to what I said about Cynthia’s heart? Are you mad because I hit the nail on the head?”Theodore clenched his fist, and smashed it on the wall next to her ear.Rosalie’s heart was racing. She was very scared, but beyond fear, she felt anger. If Theodore really was the culprit, it proved how terrifying he really was.Fire burned in Theodore’s eyes as his chest heaved, panting heavily. He glared at Rosalie
“That’s the problem!” Theodore grabbed her shoulders. “The fact that such a possibility even came to your mind! We’ve known each other for so many years, and this is how much you don’t trust me. Even after ten years, can’t you tell the kind of person I am?”Cynthia did suggest to him to buy a heart from the black market, but he rejected that outright. He could very well have gotten his hands on a heart via illicit means, but he didn’t do so.He was very upset that someone was wrongly accusing him of doing something that he himself despised and hated! He could swallow it if Rosalie misunderstood him with regard to Sebastian. He did look like the prime suspect in other people’s eyes. Yet, how could she put the blame of other people’s death on him?Theodore’s indignant expression made Rosalie conclude that she might have gone overboard in her speculation. On the other hand, she found it rather hilarious.“You said it yourself—we’ve known each other for ten years, but before, you mis
Theodore kept harping on things between her and Sebastian, and Rosalie was getting annoyed by it. They were clearly divorced. She was free to do anything she pleased.Despite that, she had to tolerate Theodore’s judgment of her and Sebastian, as if whatever they did was immoral and indecent.They were both single, so what if they grew close? Even if they really slept together, who had the right to comment? Why was Theodore allowed to be entangled with Cynthia while he was married, while she had to be blamed for getting close to Sebastian after her divorce? Why were men tolerated for whatever they did, while women had to be blamed? If she forgave the man who hurt her, she would be called cheap.If she got close with another man, others would call her frivolous. She would be attacked no matter what she did! Everyone was biased and had double standards, and unable to be objective and fair.Theodore remained silent for a long while. He didn’t know what to say. Rosalie was thoro
“What’s the matter?” Rosalie asked, puzzled. “You don’t have a good relationship with your family?”Upon seeing Yerick’s silence, she understood the situation. “I’m sorry, I had no idea. If your relationship with your family isn’t good, I won’t contact them.”Everyone’s family situation was different, and not all family was worth keeping in contact. She didn’t want to pretend to be a saint and force Yerick to contact his family. Oftentimes, poor familial relations weren’t due to the children themselves.Yerick smiled helplessly. “Rose, I… I don’t have family.”“What did you say?” Rosalie was shocked. “You don’t have a family?”Yerick nodded. “Yes. My parents haven't been around since I was very young. I lived with my aunt and uncle, but they find me a burden,” he said with a bitter smile. “Whatever it is, I grew up and ended up living on my own.”“I see.” It must have been tough on Yerick, given such circumstances. She always thought that his family must have been proud of him
Rosalie was stunned by Yerick’s question, but soon after, her face turned serious. “Yerick, how could you think that way?”Yerick was shocked by her response. “Are you angry? Did I say something wrong?”“I am a little annoyed,” Rosalie admitted. “Am I the kind of idiot who will judge others based on my own experience?”“That’s not what I meant! Please don’t misunderstand. You’re the smartest person I’ve ever met.”He didn’t think Rosalie was idiotic. Theodore was an idiot, and so were Sebastian and Cynthia. Everyone in this world was an idiot, with the sole exception of Rosalie. Yerick thought she was wonderful. She was kind and beautiful, and trusted him so. Although he was lying to her, he didn’t find her stupid at all. She was simply too kind-hearted to believe a scoundrel like him. He truly enjoyed being with her, it made him feel good—he wanted to be with her forever.As for everyone else, he wished they would all go to hell!The shock on Yerick’s face made Rosalie laugh o
Yerick couldn’t bear to see that happen, so he did something sneaky to restore blood supply to Sebastian’s brain.The hospital staff were so stupid. Their many years of medical experience were nothing compared to a few months of research from him. If the world had to depend on these idiots, it would eventually be destroyed in the hands of extraterrestrial beings.Anyway, the survival of other men didn’t affect him because they were all morons unworthy of Rosalie. He was capable of killing them anytime he wanted.When Yerick looked at Rosalie, he smiled just like an angel—an innocent and harmless young man. No one could tell how wicked and frightening this boy was inside.“The doctors all say that it’s a miracle. I don’t know if the heavens were helping me out, but whatever it is, I feel grateful. Sebastian sacrificed too much for me. He stayed by my side at my lowest, protected me when I got hurt, and took care of me through the night when I was sick. He even risked his life to fig
Sebastian was lying on the bed, his eyes shut tight and cold sweat beading on his forehead.He was trying to recall his memories.Some of his memories came as fragments, but he couldn’t piece them together no matter how hard he tried. The harder he tried, the more his head hurt. Many times, he wanted to stop and do as Rosalie said, and not think at all. However, he felt very uneasy and was bugged by a nagging feeling he had forgotten something important he must recall. It was a matter of life and death.He had forgotten someone important, and he was dangerous.No, he had to recall that person. For Rosalie’s sake, he had to!When Rosalie returned to Sebastian’s ward and saw him with his eyes shut and breaking out in cold sweat, she hurriedly grabbed a napkin and gently wiped the sweat away from his forehead. “What’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?”“Honey, you’re back.” Sebastian opened his eyes, then reassured her, “I’m fine.”Seeing Sebastian putting up a strong front, Rosali
Hearing the call connect successfully, Rosalie sighed in relief—he hadn’t blocked her number. At least he was quite magnanimous in this regard.However, no one picked up the call. After about half a minute, the call was cut off.Rosalie sighed again. How was she supposed to take Theodore to visit Rebecca?“Do you need something?” A cold voice sounded behind her.Rosalie turned around to see Theodore standing there. She felt relieved. “So you’re still at the hospital. I thought you had left.”“Why did you call me?” Theodore asked expressionlessly.Clutching her phone, Rosalie stepped forward anxiously. “I promised Grandma I’d join her for dinner tonight, and she expects us to be there.”“That’s what you promised. I never agreed.” Theodore’s indifferent tone made it clear he hadn’t agreed to this.Rosalie, knowing she was at fault for promising without asking him first, didn't get angry. Instead, she said, “I know things are tense between us, but none of this should affect Gran
