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
Painful screams of a woman sounded from the delivery room."Take a deep breath! The baby is almost out, you're almost there!""Ahh!"Rosalie felt a heart-wrenching pain that tormented every bone and sinew in her body. She shut her eyes tight, her pale face twisting with pain and forehead beading with sweat."Rose." Sebastian insisted on staying by her side. He couldn't possibly leave her all alone at a time like this.Rosalie held Sebastian's hand tight, almost forcefully. Sebastian's fingers hurt from how hard she was grabbing his hand, but he bore with the pain.That minor pain was nothing compared to the pain Rosalie was experiencing as she gave birth."Ahh!"Rosalie opened her mouth wide, panting as she took in big gulps of air.The doctor continued encouraging her.However, the baby's head was stuck, requiring tools to pull the baby out.Rosalie was in such pain she was on the verge of passing out."Rose, the baby is almost out. Hang in there!"Rosalie turned around,
Theodore sat by her bedside, lifted her hand, and caressed her cheeks, looking at Rosalie tenderly. "Silly, why didn't you tell me about it earlier?""I'm sorry, Theo. I thought you wouldn't have wanted the child, so I didn't dare tell you about it.""Rose, I should be the one apologizing for making you suffer. Don't worry, I won't ever leave you from now on. Our little family of three will never be apart."Theodore bent over and kissed Rosalie's lips ever so gently before wrapping her up in his arms.When Rosalie heard Theodore mention their family of three, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up abruptly."Rose, you're finally awake."Sebastian had been by Rosalie's side all along. He was so glad and relieved to see her finally waking up. "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"Rosalie realized that it was Sebastian by her bedside.She stared at the ceiling as she returned to reality. She was dreaming just now, thinking that she really saw Theodore just now.Perhaps she had such a
Rosalie wanted to give the baby a name as soon as possible.She had promised Sebastian to let him name the baby, and she wouldn't go back on her word. She couldn't give Sebastian anything else, but he stayed so faithfully by her side, even through her labor.Rosalie felt immensely guilty. Letting Sebastian name her child was the only thing she could do for him."I thought of a name long ago. What about Steve?""Steve." Rosalie subconsciously turned to look out the window as she mumbled the baby's name.It was early in the morning and bright sunlight shone down, peeking through the towering trees that were dancing in the morning breeze.What a beautiful morning. It felt like a new beginning, and Rosalie almost forgot all of her troubles.Rosalie turned around to look at the baby in her arms. She gently caressed his little cheeks as tears blurred her vision once more."What's the matter, Rose?" Sebastian asked anxiously. "Do you not like the name? I can think of a few more."Seb
"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
