"You…"Theodore was about to step forward when Rosalie shoved him away hard. "He's right, every word of his. Theodore Spencer, I was captured by a bunch of hooligans. When they were about to humiliate me and kill me, Vincent rescued me. Where were you then? Why didn't you come running to me to save me then? Oh, I know! You were holding hands with Aurora, walking down the streets, licking her ice cream, and savoring the taste of her saliva! You might even have had a roll in the hay with her! How would you even have the time to save me?"Theodore remained silent."Listen up, Theodore Spencer. I don't need you to save me. I'm perfectly fine right now. You're just kicking up a fuss over nothing!""Kicking up a fuss over nothing? Rosalie Young, I went to such great lengths to find you and was worried about you being in danger. I'm even putting my life at risk, and you're calling it kicking up a fuss over nothing?!"He couldn't stand the pain of having his effort and heartache being s
"It's fine. At least he's here to save you and you'll be fine."Vincent no longer feared death, having lived life so dangerously with the risk of dying hanging over his head constantly. Dying today or tomorrow made no difference to him.In fact, dying early meant quicker relief for him.Rosalie tried her best to help Vincent stand up and said to Theodore, "Theo, can you…"Before Rosalie could complete her sentence, another bunch of men rushed in."Rose, are you alright? Quick, come to me! I'm here to save you!"Sebastian saw Rosalie standing with Vincent and noticed the blood on her. He was frightened out of his wits and immediately fired a few shots at Vincent. "No!"Rosalie yelled hysterically as she saw Vincent collapse on the floor, shot by Sebastian's gun."No, no!"Rosalie knelt on the floor and cried in agony, "Vincent, Justin…Justin, don't die! Please, don't die!""Sebastian, you mad dog!" Theodore held him back. "What are you doing?""I'm saving Rose. She's in dan
Rosalie couldn't care less right now. Even if the doctor were to call the police, all she wanted to do now was to keep Vincent alive. If he were to die right here, right now, all would be lost.Vincent lifted a hand and gently caressed Rosalie's face, wiping her tears away."Don't cry. We don't know each other very well, anyway. It's fine even if I die.""No, I won't allow you to die! I won't! Vincent, hold on. I beg you, hold on a while longer.""If I die, I can go find my sister. Don't be sad. Seems like both of them love you very much. But… I still hope that you can be happy. Don't get tied down just because the other party loves you. Rose, don't trust men so easily.""Justin, open your eyes! Open your eyes!"Rosalie tried so hard to pry his eyes open.She gritted her teeth and carried Vincent from the ground with all her might."I'll bring you to the hospital. You won't die. I won't let you die! Youngie won't let you die, either!"Theodore snapped back to reality and immed
"Yes, sir." A few of his subordinates stepped forward in a bid to receive Vincent.Theodore immediately said, "Rose, leave Vincent to me. I know a hospital that's safe for him where the doctors won't call the police. I'll handle his case with secrecy."With that, Theodore shot his subordinate a look.An outrageous scene unfolded.Sebastian and Theodore's men started fighting over who would save Vincent."Sebastian Carter, don't cause trouble. Saving him is of utmost priority, and I have what it takes to do it.""Theodore Spencer, don't I have what it takes too? You underestimate me. I can send him to a safe hospital with my people, too. Rose, hand Vincent over to me.""Rose, don't trust Sebastian. He's cunning and will cause harm to Vincent. Hand Vincent over to me and I'll save him for sure.""Rose, hand him over to me. Don't trust Theodore, he's not worthy of your trust. Did you forget all that he did to you previously?"Theodore and Sebastian started arguing with each other
Where did it all go wrong? Was it because he hadn't been sincere enough?Sebastian slumped, as if he had lost all his strength and hope. His fists were clenched tightly, nails digging into his flesh.No, things couldn't be this way. Absolutely not!He and Rosalie had finally reached this point, and then this Vincent guy suddenly appeared. Where did this man come from? He had disrupted his plans! Sebastian wouldn't allow it.-Darkness enveloped the entire car. The bulletproof vehicle moved steadily through the shadows. The car was jet black, resembling a silent and fearless beast, its steel body gleaming with a cold, metallic light.Inside, Rosalie held Vincent tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with deep concern.The car was filled with blood-soaked bandages.Outside the car window, the cityscape under the night sky was hazy. The tall buildings were faintly visible in the dark, like a dreamy, elusive vision.Streetlights cast a faint glow, creating fragmented, mysterious shadows.
Although Theodore had also shot at Vincent, Rosalie hadn't seen that kind of viciousness in his eyes. Moreover, when Sebastian made his move, Theodore had stopped him.If Theodore truly wanted Vincent dead, he could have easily let Sebastian handle it without interference. Considering all of this, Rosalie chose Theodore.Seeing Rosalie remain silent, Theodore pressed on, "Rose, you haven't answered my question. If you don't trust me, why did you choose me?""Please stop asking, alright? I just picked someone at random. I didn't think too much about it."She couldn't speak badly of Sebastian in front of Theodore. Besides, this was just her feelings, not necessarily the truth.Theodore took a deep breath. "Fine, I won't ask. But Rose, if he really dies, what are you going to do?""Stop saying that. He won't die. He absolutely won't die!"Theodore said nothing. Vincent was severely wounded, and Theodore didn't hold out much hope. The man was likely to die, but judging from Rosalie's react
Seeing Rosalie covered in blood, even though it wasn't her own, Theodore was shocked. He immediately carried her in his arms and prepared to leave."What are you doing? I want to stay here! I have to wait for him!""Rose, the surgery will take a long time. Let me take you to wash up first. Once you're clean and changed into fresh clothes, you can wait here for him. When he wakes up and sees you then, he'll feel at ease, okay?"Rosalie bit her lip and nodded. "Alright."Theodore found a VIP room for Rosalie. The room was unoccupied. He had someone bring over a set of clean clothes for Rosalie.The person delivering the clothes was still on their way.Meanwhile, Rosalie continued to cry.Theodore held Rosalie in front of the sink, his arms wrapped around her from behind. He turned on the faucet and used a towel to wipe her hands and face."Be good and stay still. Let's clean off the blood. It'll be gone soon.""Theo, there's so much blood… He lost so much blood. Has he lost all of it?" R
Rosalie felt light-headed. "Theo, my head hurts so much. I really want to sleep."Theodore's eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow. He knew that she must be exhausted, both physically and emotionally.He gently stroked her face. "It's alright. You can sleep. I'll take care of everything else.""Theo, he can't die! He's my savior! If it weren't for him, I would be dead. It was so terrifying when those men captured me. They wanted to hurt me. He risked his life to save me. He even took a bullet for me. Please don't let him die!" Rosalie said weakly, her eyes full of tears as she pleaded with him."Alright," Theodore held her tightly, whispering into her ear. "I won't let him die."Rosalie slowly closed her eyes.Theodore sighed and kissed her forehead. "Rose, what should I do with you?"She was so heartbroken over another man, but he had to go along with her and promise her that man wouldn't die.Theodore knew he had no right to ask Rosalie for anything. He and Rosalie were alrea
