Theodore's eyes were filled with hostility. Sebastian didn't back down either, staring back with an equally intense gaze that even held a hint of disdain.Sensing the tension between the two men, Rosalie hastily asked, "Theo, why are you here?"Theodore turned to look at his wife. "I went to your room to see you, but you weren't there. The servant said you had gone out, and you kept rejecting my calls. Your friend lied to me and said you were at her place. Why would you do that?"Theodore had been really frantic at that moment, afraid that something had happened to her."How did you know I was here, then?""I heard a doctor talking about a blood transfusion on the phone, so I guessed you were in the hospital. You once mentioned that you often visited Delta Hospital, so I figured you might be here."Even if you don't want to see me, you can't risk your own life. What if something had happened to you on the way here?"Rosalie could clearly see the concern in her husband's eyes. Th
Even though Rosalie knew she couldn't get worked up, how could she control herself in a situation like this?Seeing Rosalie's trembling fists, Theodore suddenly felt like he had been doused in cold water. He had almost forgotten that she was sick!He quickly held her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'll stop. Please don't be angry."The sudden apology made Rosalie pause for a moment. But indeed, he seemed to have calmed down. Her tight grip on the blanket slowly relaxed.Rosalie noticed Stephanie lingering at the door, so she said, "Steph, come over here."Truth be told, Stephanie was a bit afraid of Theodore. This man had a natural aura of intimidation, and wherever he went, it felt like the Grim Reaper was passing by.As a small fry herself, she naturally felt crushed by this influential man. But thinking about her best friend being tormented by him made Stephanie angry, so she straightened her posture and shot him a dirty look.Stephanie walked over to Rosalie's side, leaned in, a
Rosalie's anger made Theodore uneasy, making him feel like a child who had been caught misbehaving.Worried that Rosalie might make herself sick with anger, Stephanie was about to comfort her friend, when suddenly, a voice broke the silence."Ms. Carter, I'm sorry."Stephanie thought she had misheard, until she looked up and met the man's apologetic gaze. Although he didn't seem remorseful, the fact that he had apologized to her for Rosalie's sake was already surprising enough.Stephanie was so surprised that she momentarily forgot how to respond. After a few seconds, she regained her composure and grinned."It's alright."As Rosalie's close friend, she felt obligated to accept his apology, as it would put Rosalie in a difficult position if she didn't."Ms. Carter, I meant to say that you don't have to worry about Rose because I'm here. It's late, so you should head home and rest," Theodore said, his voice noticeably calmer than before, resembling his usual composed self.Seein
The next day, Rosalie opened her eyes to find the room empty. Before falling asleep last night, she had still held onto a glimmer of hope that Theodore would stay with her. But he had left after all.That man was really ridiculous. He had come to the hospital all angry and driven away her friend, only to leave in the end. But it made sense. She had asked him to leave, so he did. But why did she feel so aggrieved?Just then, the bathroom door opened and Theodore emerged. Seeing the woman on the hospital bed awake, he approached."You're awake.""Why are you still here?" asked a surprised Rosalie, who thought he had left."I was going to leave last night. I planned to wait until you were asleep, but I got a bit tired and dozed off in the chair. When I woke up, it was already morning.""I see."After hearing his explanation, Rosalie felt a bit down. So, that's what happened. He had only stayed because he had accidentally fallen asleep.Noting her husband's pallor complexion, which
When Theodore arrived at Cynthia's place, she was lying in bed. Concerned, he immediately sat by her bedside."How are you feeling?"Cynthia looked pale and was clearly very ill, even trembling when she breathed."Theo, you're here. I told them not to call you. I know you're busy. What's wrong with them?"A furious Cynthia tried to get out of bed."Don't move." Theodore immediately pressed Cynthia back onto the bed. "They were right to call me. How did you get this sick?"Cynthia coughed a few times as she shook her head. "It's all my fault. My body is too weak. I really hate myself. I might as well just die and end this suffering.""Stop that nonsense."Theodore frowned, his eyes filled with worry. He took a towel that a servant had brought and placed it on Cynthia's forehead, patting it gently."Don't worry, you'll get better soon.""What's the point of getting better? I'll just keep getting sick. Theo, I don't know how much longer I can endure this," Cynthia said as she ti
Theodore didn't want to believe that Cynthia was capable of such things. He had even blamed Rosalie for what happened with the bracelet, but her demeanor at the time didn't seem like she was lying either."That bracelet... Well... I told her it was very beautiful and perfect for her. Theo, don't you remember? After you bought that bracelet, I accidentally saw it and thought it was for me."But then, you told me it was for Rosalie. I just praised how beautiful it was and said it was a perfect gift for her. Did she misunderstand? It's my fault for not explaining properly. Should I go talk to her and clear things up?"Cynthia looked anxious and ashamed.It wouldn't make a difference even if Theodore confronted the two women. There was no evidence — only Cynthia and Rosalie knew what happened in the office. Cynthia could spin the story however she liked.Theodore pondered momentarily before finally coldly saying, "Next time, don't bring up such matters. It's better not to say anything
The next morning, Theodore lay in a hospital bed. There were bruises on his face and bandages on his forehead, but he looked alert. Yuvan sat on a chair next to the bed, peeling an apple for him."Mr. Spencer, it was a really close call. The car was damaged, but you came out relatively unscathed. It's a blessing in disguise. Please, never drive when you're tired again."Last night, having heard a loud bang while on the phone with Theodore, Yuvan had been scared out of his wits.Theodore shot a cold glance at the apple in Yuvan's hand, a trace of irritation in his eyes."Who told you to buy apples? Get rid of them!""Huh?" Yuvan paused in the midst of peeling an apple. "Then, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it."Yuvan didn't understand why Theodore was suddenly upset. What was wrong with the apples?Theodore coldly gazed at Yuvan. "Do I need to explain myself to you?""Oh, no. Of course not," Yuvan said, quickly picking up all the apples and taking them out of the room.
Just a few minutes later, the door suddenly swung open and Wesley strode in."Theodore."Theodore turned, frowning when he saw his father entering. "Dad, why are you here?"What was Yuvan doing?! Theodore’s family wasn't supposed to know about his accident!"You don't want me here, right? Well, keeping this incident quiet was the right thing to do. We can't let anyone find out that the CEO of SK Enterprise crashed his car into a lamppost like a fool."Wesley had been trying to reach Theodore due to some urgent matters, which is how he had found out about his son's accident.Theodore shrugged. "I didn't crash on purpose.""I just checked your medical records — fatigue while driving. Wasn't that your own doing? Come on, what have you done now?"Theodore didn't bother to explain further, simply saying, "It happened, I'm fine. Don't tell Grandma and Rose about this.""Did you even consider how your grandma and your wife would feel if something happened to you? Is it because of tha
