"Theodore... Theodore!" Aurora cried out his name, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you treating me like this? Why?"Aurora really wanted to chase after him and disregard all her concerns, but right now, she didn't have an ounce of strength left."Why did I fall in love with someone like you? Why?" Aurora didn't understand. It had only been a few days, and she had only met him a handful of times, yet she couldn't seem to let go of him."Why did you fall? How pitiful. Let me help you up."A man suddenly appeared in front of her and helped her up from the floor.Aurora raised her head, and saw a stranger standing before her. She frowned in confusion. "Who are you?""Lie down first, and I'll explain slowly."Yerick helped her onto the bed and tucked her in.Aurora wiped the tears from her face.Seeing Yerick looking at her with a half-smile, Aurora felt a bit uneasy. "Who exactly are you?""Do you remember that email?"Aurora's heart skipped a beat. "You sent that emai
Seeing Aurora's emotional state, Yerick quickly comforted her in a gentle tone. "Calm down. Let me explain everything to you slowly."Yerick took out his phone from his pocket, swiped a few times, and then handed it to Aurora.Aurora looked at the screen, and saw a photo of a beautiful young woman. Her gentle smile was like the warmth of the sun in spring, giving off a feeling of immense comfort. Her eyes were full of tenderness.Aurora stared at the woman in the photo, her heart trembling violently. "This...this is...""She is Theodore's ex-wife. Her name is Rosalie."Aurora stared at the woman on the phone screen in a daze, her eyes gradually filling with tears. So, this was what she looked like. No wonder Theodore couldn't forget her.If his wife was so beautiful, why did Theodore get involved with that woman named Cynthia?If it was really about looks, Cynthia didn't seem to be more beautiful than Rosalie. Could it be because of some other qualities?Yet, in the end, Theodor
Aurora couldn't believe it. She felt as if she was looking into a mirror; only with the comparison did she realize how much she resembled Rosalie."How can this be? How is this possible?"Suddenly, Aurora became aware of something. She turned to stare in shock at the man before her."Did you find me because I look like Theodore's ex-wife? Is this all part of your plan?" A strong sense of unease surged within her. "Who exactly are you?""I'm someone who wants to help Theodore, but I also want to help you. Tell me, do you love him?" Yerick looked at her with a half-smile.Aurora felt a bit nervous. "I… I've only known him for a short time. How could I possibly…""You love him." Yerick interrupted her, seemingly able to see through everything. "Don't avoid your own feelings. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just don't want to see Theodore get hurt anymore. You saw it when you tried to save him; he nearly died. All of this is because of his ex-wife and her current husband."Yeri
Seeing Aurora silent, Yerick straightened up and adjusted his coat. He remained calm and composed, showing no excessive expression or a hint of anger.Then, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, I won't force you. Don't worry. I won't disturb you again. Miss Payne, take care and rest well."Yerick turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, Aurora suddenly called out to him, "Wait a moment."Yerick stopped in his tracks."What… What's your name?"Yerick raised an eyebrow and turned back to say, "You can call me Sam.""Sam?" Aurora was doubtful. "Is that your real name?""Miss Payne, do you have any other questions?" Yerick changed the topic.Aurora's palms sweated as she was nervous. "Is there anything I can do to help Mr. Spencer?""Are you agreeing to my proposal?"Aurora lowered her head and said, "I don't know. I just don't want anything bad to happen to him. I want him to be well. If I can really help him, I'm willing to, but it seems like he doesn't want to see me
Cynthia left the hospital.After returning home, she hid in her room and cried. She had hoped Theodore would come after her, but he never showed up.Knock, knock.A series of knocking sounds came from the door.Cynthia's heart leapt with joy. Theodore really came! She knew he couldn't let her go.She quickly wiped the tears from her face, and tidied her hair before opening the door.However, when she saw the man outside, Cynthia's expression turned cold. "Why is it you?"Yerick walked in, and slammed the door shut behind him."What good is crying here? He can't see you."Cynthia clenched her fists. "You said you would help me, yet Theo still abandoned me.""Didn't I help you?" Yerick turned around, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Didn't I find a heart for you? And the shares of Farover Enterprise. Didn't I help you get those?"Now, the main person in control of Farover Enterprise had become Yerick. However, he was using a third-party proxy, so it couldn't be trace
In the blink of an eye, Rosalie was already nine months along in her pregnancy. During these months abroad, whenever she had free time, Rosalie would study. She would also go out for a walk often. No matter where she went, Sebastian was always by her side.Sebastian's treatment took place once a week. At first, Rosalie would accompany him to the treatment sessions, but as her belly grew larger, it became inconvenient, so she could only stay at the villa.After more than three months of treatment, Sebastian had indeed shown some improvement. He had regained some of his memory, and could remember his parents and sister. However, many things still eluded him, such as how he met Rosalie.Rosalie had also not been in contact with the Spencers for a long time. Over two months ago, Sydney had severed their communication. This was because Sydney had learned about the events surrounding Rosalie's kidnapping. The last time Sydney called her was two months ago."Mom, is Grandma okay?" Rosalie
A loud clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky. Theodore woke up abruptly at the sound. He turned his head to see strong winds outside, with curtains billowing and large raindrops pouring down, entering the room with the wind.The thunderstorm and strong winds completely erased Theodore's sleepiness. He got out of bed and walked to the window to close it. Looking through the glass at the torrential rain outside, a sudden pain shot through his heart.The pain came without warning. He raised his hand to cover his heart, which felt uncomfortable. It was as if something bad had happened.Suddenly, his phone rang. Theodore walked to the bed, picked up his phone, and answered, "Hello." Hearing the words from the other end, his expression turned serious.After hanging up, he quickly changed his clothes and left the house in the rain.…Theodore drove to the hospital. After the doctors finished emergency treatment for Aurora, they sent her to a ward. Theodore asked the doctor, "
"Ms. Payne, don't panic. Time is on your side. As long as you keep to the doctors' medical advice, artificial hearts might become a reality as medical science progresses. Don't be so pessimistic."Theodore's comforting words made Aurora feel slightly better."Mr. Spencer, I'm so sorry for bothering you and making you come over in the middle of the night.""It's fine."It was raining heavily outside. Theodore glanced at the raindrops clinging onto the window, and sighed."Ms. Payne, do you believe in telepathy?""Telepathy?" Aurora repeated doubtfully. "Why the sudden mention of it? Do you feel like you have telepathy with someone?"Theodore pulled out his wallet from his pocket, and retrieved a photo of Rosalie."For some reason, thoughts of my wife suddenly came to mind and I feel very sad. I even feel some stomach discomfort."Aurora leaned against the headboard, looking at Theodore's back doubtfully. "Are you missing her so much that it's messing with your mind?"Theodore
"Justin, why are you up?" Rosalie wanted to bring breakfast to him in his room.Justin saw Theodore in the living room, and immediately realized what was going on. "I'm fine. I feel much better," he said. Rosalie helped him onto a chair and sat him down. "You need a lot of rest right now. Have some food and take your medicine later."Justin nodded. "Got it.""Theo got a doctor last night to treat you. You really should thank him," she added.Justin glanced at Theodore and said, "Thanks.""Don't mention it. I didn't do it for you. I did it for Rose," Theodore said bluntly; he was very honest.Justin gave him a faint smile. Theodore was a bastard, but at least he was honest."Alright now, let's have breakfast," Rosalie said. She didn't want things to get too awkward. The three of them enjoyed breakfast in silence. Rosalie gave her sunny-side-up to Justin. "Justin, eat more." He needed nutrients to recuperate.Theodore handed his sunny-side-up to Rosalie.Rosalie passed
Dawn broke over the city.Rosalie slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little woozy. She turned around to glance at the clock, and saw that it was six and a half in the morning.Suddenly, she recalled something and immediately sat up on the bed. She rubbed her eyes, threw off the sheets, and got out of bed.When she arrived at the living room, she saw her baby lying on the couch, his two hands waving in the air. She hurriedly approached him. "Darling."Just then, Theodore walked out of the kitchen. "Rose, you're awake."Rosalie looked up to see Theodore donning an apron. "Did…did you not leave the entire night?""The baby refused to fall asleep so I stayed on. He slept a little when the sky started turning bright. Seems like he's awake again now.""Why didn't you wake me up?" She didn't expect him to stay through the night."You were so sound asleep, why would I wake you up? You're really tired, too. Go sleep a while longer. I'll call you up when breakfast is ready. Don't worry
Rosalie hurriedly handed the baby to Theodore.She was at her wits' end. What exactly was going on?Perhaps this was because they were truly father and son. Sometimes, there were no explanations for things that were simply amazing and mysterious.Theodore felt energized looking at the baby. Rosalie, on the other hand, was exhausted."Rose, why don't I stay here and coax the baby to sleep? You can go to bed first.""How can I make you do that? You need to rest early.""But Steve cries each time I put him down. If he keeps crying, it'll disturb you and Justin, or even our neighbors.""Well…" Rosalie didn't know what to do."How about this," Theodore suggested, "I'll give you Steve. If he doesn't cry, I'll leave. If he cries, then do as I say. I'll stay to coax him to sleep and I'll leave once he's asleep, okay?"Rosalie pondered for a moment before nodding. "Okay, then."She stretched her arms out to receive the baby.The moment Theodore put the baby in Rosalie's arms, the bab
Rosalie stood at the door, watching Theodore coaxing Steve. She paused in her steps.It didn't take long for Theodore to calm Steve down. When he saw Steve stop crying, a gentle smile appeared on his face."I'm leaving now. I won't disturb you. You and your mom should go to sleep early."He carefully placed Steve on the bed, but as soon as he let go, Steve started crying again.Theodore quickly picked him up again and soothed him. "What's wrong, baby?"After coaxing Steve for a while, Steve stopped crying and began giggling. "Steve, be a good boy and sleep, okay?"At that moment, Rosalie walked forward. "Theo."Hearing her voice, Theodore immediately came back to his senses and realized that he had overstepped his boundaries."Sorry, I rushed in as soon as I heard him cry. Here, I'll give him back to you."He wasn't sure why, but when he heard Steve cry, he felt sad. He had an urge to comfort Steve, almost as if it were a responsibility.Theodore stepped forward and handed Steve to Ros
Rosalie's heart trembled. She rushed forward and covered Theodore's mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with intense panic. "Don't say such things."He had a son now, but he was speaking of an end to his lineage. She also didn't want Theodore to die a terrible death.Theodore grabbed her wrist and suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her lips.Rosalie's eyes widened, and her mind felt like it exploded in that instant. In a panic, she stretched out both hands to push him away, trying to resist—but he wouldn't budge.Rosalie dared not struggle or shout too hard, fearing that Justin might hear. Justin would certainly come out to stop them. He was injured and running a fever; his body couldn't handle such an ordeal. He definitely wouldn't be a match for Theodore. Rosalie had no choice but to helplessly close her eyes, allowing him to kiss her.After a long while, Theodore finally let her go. He cupped the back of her head with one hand and held her waist with the
Theodore walked in, and Rosalie passed by him directly. She found a thermometer and went back into the room to take Justin's temperature. The thermometer read 104 degrees."Justin, you have a fever. We need to go to the hospital."Rosalie tried to help him sit up, but Justin grabbed her wrist. "I can't go to the hospital. I'll be fine after one night of rest.""No, your temperature is too high, and you're injured. Your wound is definitely inflamed.""I'm really fine, don't worry. Do you have any fever medicine here?"Seeing Rosalie's anxious expression, Theodore closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger within him. He walked over and said, "I can call a doctor to treat him."Rosalie turned to him and asked, "Will they talk about it?""I guarantee they won't. I know people who are professionals in secret treatments. They will not reveal a thing."Rosalie thought for a moment, then looked at Justin. "Can we call the doctor? Please? Otherwise, your life will be at risk
After Theodore hung up the phone, he walked to the liquor cabinet and opened a bottle of whiskey, pouring it into a glass.Just as he was about to take a sip, he suddenly thought of his stomach and put the glass aside. He had promised Rosalie many times that he would stop drinking. If he drank now, he would feel guilty.He walked over to the window, gazing blankly at the night sky. The city was especially bright, shimmering with light, as if the stars were hovering on earth.Why was Justin at Rosalie's place at this hour? Was he really sick? Or was it just an excuse?Furthermore, what was Justin's sudden arrival in Blencalgo about? With his status, he could only bring trouble and danger to Rosalie.Theodore became more and more troubled as he thought about it.He walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out his coat.-Rosalie was lying in bed, unable to sleep. She gently held Steve and stared at his face, thinking, 'Steve, if your grandmother wakes up, I will tell Theodore that you
Aurora tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.She turned over and asked, "Angie, how did Rebecca react after the injection?"Angie was holding her phone, reading a novel online. Hearing Aurora's question, she turned to her and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?""How could I sleep?""She didn't have any reaction," Angie replied.Aurora recalled what Yerick had told her. The solution was provided by Yerick, who had said that there wouldn't be any special reaction once it was administered. They just needed to wait. Aurora didn't know if the solution would work.She turned her head and saw that Angie was still absorbed in reading, as if nothing had happened."Angie, how can you still read a novel? After what happened, can you still concentrate?""What's so hard to handle? It's just a dead old woman. Nothing to worry about."Angie lay back on the bed. She started cursing again while reading a novel. "The female lead is such a saint, but now she's acting so promiscuously. Don't blame t
Rosalie helped Justin onto the bed, and he lay down. "Rest well. You can stay here as long as you need to recover."She took the blanket and put it over him."Justin, how long were you waiting outside my door?"Justin smiled faintly. "Not too long."In reality, he had waited for several hours. However, knowing she was busy, he didn't want to disturb her, so he waited quietly on his own."Why didn't you call me beforehand? If you had, I would have come back earlier."Despite his injuries, he had been waiting at her door. She felt he must have waited for quite a while."I planned to come after my wound healed, but I wasn't sure how long that would take. I wanted to tell you about this as soon as possible because I was worried about you. I needed you to think about whether there was anyone suspicious around you.""I can't think of anyone suspicious… Oh, by the way, Theodore lied to me earlier, saying he had stomach cancer. I really believed him. Later, I received an email with his medica
