Chapter 451-460
Taking advantage of Theodore loosening his grip, Rosalie shook him off forcefully.
“It doesn’t matter if I give you time or not. It’s impossible for us to get back together anymore. What do you take me for? When you wanted a divorce, I had no choice but to leave. Now that you want to reconcile, I’m supposed to give up everything for you?” she sneered.
“Give up everything? Are you referring to Sebastian? Is he your everything?” Theodore spat furiously,
Rosalfe was tired of arguing with him.
After resuscitating Cynthia, the doctor walked out of the ward. “Mr. Spencer, Miss Zeller only has a few days left to live. There’s still no news from the organ donation bank, and hope is slim. However, we’ll try our best to minimize Miss Zeller’s pain.”
Theodore’s eyes were empty, as if he was drunk in a faraway dream.
Standing at the side, Rosalie was silent. She couldn’t make any sarcastic remarks, nor could she say any comforting words. In truth, she didn’t care whether Cynthia lived or died. She didn’t even feel the thrill of revenge.
“I understand,” Theodore said heavily, nodding. “Do your best to minimize her pain.”
“Mr. Spencer!” Yerick suddenly hurried over, holding a large box in his hands. “This is the wedding dress you ordered. Would you like to show it to Miss Zeller?”
Theodore frowned and turned to glance at Rosalie, who was looking at him mockingly. Her gaze gave his heart a terrible pang.
“Just put it in the ward for now. Cynthia is still in a coma. I’ll show it to her when she wakes up,” he said.
Yerick nodded. He noticed Rosalie, but didn’t dare to ask why she was here and kept silent.
Theodore walked up to her. “Rose… Considering that Cindy doesn’t. have long to live, can you let go of your grudges against her?”
“I can’t be bothered to hold grudges against her,” Rosalie said coldly, her head raised. “This is between you and her.”
Theodore felt his heart squeeze when he saw her cold gaze. Did she really not care anymore? She didn’t even seem jealous or envious.
“She’s so weak that she can’t attend a wedding. She’ll wear this wedding dress to her grave. This is the only thing I can do for her. Tell me you won’t be mad at me,” he said,
Rosalie sighed. “Why don’t you understand? I no longer care. Even if you marry Cynthia now, I wouldn’t care.”
“But I care!” Theodore held her hand, and pressed it against his heart. “Rose, I care deeply. What do I have to do for you to forgive me?”
Rosalie felt a lump in her throat, and she forced back her tears. “Stop talking.”
So many things had happened in such a short time, and she was overwhelmed by all the shocking news. She didn’t know what to do, so avoidance was instinctual.
At that moment, Cynthia’s attending physician hurried over. “Mr. Spencer, we’ve found a matching heart.”
Theodore’s grip on Rosalie’s hand loosened slightly. Stunned, he turned around. “Really?”
The doctor nodded. “The hospital has admitted a severely injured patient. His brain was severely damaged, resulting in a
eep coma with no hope of recovery. However, his heart is still beating.”
Theodore let go of Rosalie’s hand, and immediately asked, “And?”
A cold chill surged through Rosalie when she saw Theodore’s reaction. This was his true self. Look at how excited he was upon hearing
Cynthia could be saved!
Every single time, he would let go of Rosalie.
D
“The patient seems to have been attacked. We don’t know who he is yet. The police are trying to find his family. If we get the family’s consent, we can perform the surgery immediately!”
Seeing how excited they were, Rosalie felt a heavy weight on her.
From their perspective, they would naturally be happy. On the other hand, the injured person they mentioned would die. After all, it was one person’s life for another’s. As expected as long as the one dying wasn’t someone they cared about, it didn’t matter.
The doctor continued, “The patient’s organs are very healthy. If the family agrees, his corneas and all his organs, even his skin, can be donated. We could save many lives.”
“You said he was attacked?” Theodore asked.
The doctor nodded. “Judging from his injuries, yes. And he had not identification on him. He might have been robbed.”
“I see. Once you find his family, tell them that if they agree to donating his organs, I’ll agree to any condition,” Theodore said.
Rosalie felt dizzy, like she was about to faint. Her heart ached, as if something bad had happened. She felt very, very uneasy.
After the doctor left, Theodore grabbed her into a tight hug. “Rose, did you hear that? Cindy’s not going to die!”
Rosalie forcefully pushed him away “What does that have to do with me? Do you expect me to celebrate with you?”
“Rose, don’t you understand? Once Cindy’s better, I’ll make things clear with her. I won’t see her again.
“So as long as she’s alive, you can rest easy and break up with her confidently?” Rosalie sneered.
Theodore frowned. “Isn’t this what you wanted? Didn’t you ask me to
make a choice before? I’ve chosen now, so why aren’t you happy?”
“Why should I be happy? It’s too late! From the moment you asked for a divorce, you’ve had plenty of time to tell me and make a choice, but you never did. Not once! You waited until after Sebastian and I got married to tell me. You really have great timing.”
Rosalie felt that she and Theodore weren’t meant to be together. The timing was always wrong.
Immediately, Theodore’s expression turned cold. “It’s never too late as long as you know how you feel.”
“It’s too late. The world doesn’t want us to be together. Otherwise, why didn’t you tell me sooner? How many times do I have to say this? Sebastian and I are already married,” she snapped.
In truth, her marriage to Sebastian wasn’t the point. Since it was a fake marriage, they could divorce anytime. The real issue was that she couldn’t pretend nothing had happened.
The pain Theodore brought her was too agonizing. She was afraid.
“Do you love him?” Theodore demanded. “Tell me! Did you marry him because you love him and you two were involved long before, or because you were heartbroken and sought comfort in him?”
Rosalie couldn’t answer his question. Neither was true.
If she told Theodore she married Sebastian to help him, Theodore would never stop bothering her. But she couldn’t say she loved Sebastian either, because that was a lie.
Given Theodore’s current crazed state, if he went to cause trouble for Sebastian, the consequences would be severe
Seeing Rosalie’s silence, Theodore gripped her shoulders. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’ve told you all my thoughts, but you’ve never told me yours! So now, tell me what do you really think?”
“Enough!” Rosalie pushed him away, hard. “You’re really annoying! Go and take care of your Cynthia, and stop harassing me.”
She turned, and ran away.
“Rose!” Theodore shouted. He was about to chase after her, when a weak voice suddenly came from the ward.
“Theo, where are you…?”
Theodore sighed; he glanced at the ward, then looked in the direction Rosalie had left.
It seemed she really didn’t want to see him.
Forget it. He would give her some time to calm down. He was worried that if he pushed too hard, she would just run further away.
Theodore walked into the ward, and sat by the bed. “Cindy.”
Cynthia saw a beautiful large gift box placed not far away. “Theo, what’s that?”
However, Theodore changed the subject. “Cindy, I have good news for you. We’ve found a matching heart.”
“What did you say?” Cynthia’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Theodore nodded. “Yes. If his family agrees, you can undergo surgery immediately.”
“We still need to wait for his family to agree? What if they don’t?” Cynthia said, worried.
“I’ll make sure his family agrees no matter what,” he assured. After all, the victim couldn’t be saved and would have to rely on medical
equipment to live. He would be just like a zombie.
“Theo…” Cynthia was elated. She was really afraid of dying, and she could feel herself getting weaker by the day.
It seemed Yerick hadn’t lied to her. Then again, why was family consent still needed? It was strange.
In her excitement, she momentarily forgot about finding out what was in the gift box.
In the corridor, Rosalie was on the phone with Yvonne. “Have you heard from Seb?”
“I don’t know where he went. He isn’t answering my calls. I asked at the company, and he wasn’t there either. I’m so worried!” Yvonne replied.
Rosalie sighed. “What should we do? Could something have happened to him?”
“Don’t worry, Rose. Seb won’t let anything happen to him. He’s a grown man; he’ll take care of himself. Maybe he just wants to cool off.”
“Okay. If you hear anything, please tell me right away.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll let you know immediately!”
After ending the call, Rosalie put her phone in her pocket. Then, she heard voices from a ward by.
e was n
“Have you found the patient’s family?”
“He had no identification on him, and his face is badly injured. It’s hard to identify him. The police are still looking.”
“Even though his organs can save others, he’s really pitiful. I hope they find his family soon to confirm his identity.”
The medical staff were standing by the bed, blocking Rosalie’s view.

When they came out, they saw her standing outside the ward.
“Miss, can we help you?”
“No, it’s nothing. Can I go in and see him? I heard you say his family hasn’t been found. I feel sorry for him. Can I stay with him for a while? ” she asked.
The doctor glanced into the ward, and nodded.
“Okay.”
He thought that this young lady was really kind.
“Thank you.” Rosalie walked in, and saw the man lying in bed. His face was badly injured, and he was wearing an oxygen mask, relying on machines to sustain his life.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Poor guy! Who could have hurt him this badly? She hoped the perpetrators would be arrested soon. Her heart stirred with compassion. Seeing innocent people suffering made her upset.
She leaned over, and pulled up the blanket covering him. As she got closer, she noticed a black mole on his left ear. Stunned, she suddenly thought of something.
Rosalie carefully examined the man’s face. He was badly injured, making it hard to recognize him. She immediately pulled back the blanket to check his hand, and found wounds on the knuckles of his right hand.
Yesterday, Sebastian had injured his hand in a fight with Theodore. The wounds were an exact match.
Rosalie was thunderstruck.
“Seb, is it you?! I know it’s you!” she screamed.
A nurse saw what was happening, and hurried into the room. “Miss, what are you doing?”
Rosalie was extremely agitated. “Seb, wake up! Please wake up! How
did you end up like this?”
“Miss, do you know him?” the nurse asked.
“Yes! His name is Sebastian Carter!”
hapter 454
Soon, in the doctor’s office…..
“Mrs. Carter, I understand how you feel, but as a doctor, I must explain the situation to you. Mr. Carter suffered severe head trauma and has fallen into a deep coma. He has lost his pupillary light reflex, comed reflex, swallowing reflex, cough reflex, and tendon reflex
“He has no spontaneous breathing, and can only be outained by medication and medical equipment. Although his heart is still beating his brain is unresponsive. If the medical equipment is turned off, his heart will stop beating immediately.”
As Sebastian’s wife, Rosalie had the right to make medical decisions on his behalf in emergencies when he couldn’t decide for himself. If she signed the consent form, the organ transplant surgery could be performed immediately.
However, it would also mean she was giving up on Sebastian
Rosalie’s eyes were red and swollen from crying “Is there any criter way? Doesn’t he have any chance of waking up? With how advanced technology is nowadays, there must be another treatment, right?”
“Mrs. Carter, the human brain is complex. Mr. Carter’s brain injury is severe. With the current technology, we cannot restore Blood flow O his brain. We’ve done our best. His chances of waiting up are extremely slim. Even with machines and medication, we can’t sustain his heartbeat indefinitely. If we delay further, his organs w22 begin to fail”
Rosalie wiped away her tears, took a deep breath to calm herself, and asked, “What do you suggest we do now?”
“Mrs. Carter, I know this is very difficult, but there are currently three patients awaiting organ transplants: one needs a heart, one needs a kidney, and one needs a liver. If you agree, Mr. Carter would be a doner and save three lives.”
Rosalie trembled. “No! Even if the chances are slim, there’s still hope.
+15 BONUS
right? I’ve heard of people in vegetative states waking up. There’s still
a chance.”
“Theoretically, yes, but the probability is very low. He will most likely never wake up. It’s highly likely that his organs will fail before that happens, and then we will miss the optimal opportunity for organ transplants. Those three patients…” the doctor trailed off.
“So, you mean to save those three lives, I have to sacrifice Sebastian’s life?” Rosalie said pointedly.
She couldn’t accept it!
The doctor sighed.
“Mrs. Carter, I truly understand how you feel. I don’t mean to blackmail you morally, but the chances of Mr. Carter waking up are very slim. In my thirty years as a doctor, I’ve never seen a patient with injuries like his wake up. There’s no meaning to his life now; it’s sustained by medication and machines. Even the patient himself might not want to live like this. But if you agree, he can save three people and become a hero.”
“Don’t preach to me! I don’t care if his organs can save three people or thirty people. It’s his life we’re talking about! He never wanted this, and he doesn’t want to be a hero. In your thirty years of practice, did the families of patients like him hold on until the end, or did they follow the doctors‘ advice and choose to turn off the machines and give up?” Rosalie retorted.
She stood up with clenched fists.
“The chances of him waking up are slim, but that doesn’t mean there’s no chance. Even if there’s only a 1% chance, he wouldn’t want to die. He definitely wants to live! If this hospital can’t restore blood flow to his brain, I’ll find another hospital! There are so many doctors in the world. Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean other doctors can’t!”
“Mrs. Carter, please calm down. I can see where you’re coming from…”
“No, you don’t! The person dying isn’t someone you care about. I’m sorry to hear that the three patients are waiting for organs, but I can’t give up on this slim hope. Sebastian definitely doesn’t want to die; he wants to live!”
“I believe Mr. Carter wants to live. I’m not trying to pressure you, and no one is forcing you to make a decision now. But I hope you’ll consider this: one of the patients waiting for a transplant is a ten–year–old child who’s very III.”
“Enough! Stop talking! You say you would let me consider it, but you’re constantly pressuring me! I know what you’re thinking: one life for three. At seems like a good deal to you, right?” Rosalie snapped.
“Mrs. Carter, I’ve never seen it that way. Please don’t misunderstand,” the doctor quickly explained.
“If you don’t want me to misunderstand, then stop talking. I’ll think about it, but please don’t disturb me before I make a decision.”
She feared she would give in from the constant pressure and give up on Sebastian, so she needed to think for herself and not be influenced by
anyone.
Rosalle turned, pushed open the office door, and left.

Rosalie had just left the office, when a figure rushed toward her.
“Rose!” Yvonne had rushed here as fast as she could after receiving Rosalie’s call. She arrived to see Rosalie with tears on her face.
“Vonnie…” Rosalie hugged her tightly.
Rosalie then told Yvonne what had happened. They immediately went
to Sebastian’s room.
“Seb, can you hear me? Please wake up!” Yvonne wept. “It’s all my fault! I didn’t look for you hard enough!”
She had previously thought Sebastian, being a grown man, wouldn’t get into trouble and that Rosalie was over worrying. She never imagined something like this would happen to him. If she had
seriously looked for her brother and kept asking, maybe she could have found him and prevented this accident.
Rosalie gently patted Yvonne’s back. “It’s not your fault. Were you able to reach your parents?”
After recognizing Sebastian at the hospital, Rosalie immediately called. Yvonne and his parents, but only reached Yvonne. Sebastian’s parents were unreachable.
The hospital staff, upon learning she was Sebastian’s wife, had brought her to the office instantly. She thought they would be
discussing treatment plans with her instead, they talked about organ donation.
And now, only Yvonne had arrived.
“My parents went on a trip. They left abruptly yesterday. When they called me, they were already on the plane. I can’t reach them now; their phones are out of service,” Yvonne said.
“Why would they suddenly go on a trip?” Rosalie was puzzled.
+ İS BONUS
“I don’t know. It seems they went to a remote place. They asked Seb to handle everything, and not to disturb them until they came back.”
Rosalie knew about this arrangement, but she didn’t expect them to leave so soon.
“Rose, there’s a chance that Seb will wake up, right?” Yvonne asked.
Rosalie nodded. “Yes, he definitely has a chance to wake up. I won’t let him die, absolutely not.”
She wiped away her tears. If yesterday’s incident hadn’t occurred, would Sebastian have been safe? She had said those words to protect him and prevent a conflict between him and Theodore. But in the end, he still got hurt.
If she hadn’t known Sebastian, would he have been unharmed?
“Seb, you must hold on. I’ll always stay with you. Please keep fighting, “she murmured.
“Rose!”
Suddenly, a voice called from outside.
Rosalie turned and saw Theodore standing there. An ominous premonition welled up with her.
Theodore walked in. “Why are you here? Are you his family?”
Theodore had heard from the hospital dean that the injured man’s family had been found, and that the patient’s wife was here. At first, he had found it odd. He wanted to speak to the family directly, but the director insisted that it was better for the doctors to handle it.
According to regulations, the donor’s family and the recipients‘ families shouldn’t meat to prevent disputes..
Theodore hadn’t pushed it. He thought the patient’s family would eventually agree, since there was no hope for the patient.
–
However, the doctor told him the family was very emotional and refused to sign the consent form.
Theodore had no choice but to speak to the family himself. To his surprise, the wife of the patient was Rosalie–which meant the injured man was Sebastian!
The room fell into a deadly silence.
Rosalie stared at Theodore in shock. She suddenly realized that one of the patients in need of an organ was none other than Cynthia.
So, she wasn’t just ex–spouses with Theodore–they were now opponents!
“Rose.” Theodore stepped forward, and glanced at the man on the bed. “I didn’t expect it would be Sebastian. What happened?”
Rosalie wiped her tears away, and shook her head. “I don’t know. They said he was attacked.”
“I see.”
Theodore looked at Sebastian on the bed, feeling a bit shocked.
However, he wasn’t really affected, and he didn’t feel as sorrowful as Rosalie. Sebastian was his rival, after all.
Despite not feeling joy over Sebastian’son, deep down, he was
somewhat relieved that Sebastian was dying. This way, there would be no one to compete with him for Rosalie.
Humans were complex and contradictory. Good and evil constantly battled each other within, and which side won depended on the situation.
Seeing how indifferent Theodore was, Rosalie felt uneasy.
But how much could she expect from Theodore? He wasn’t related to Sebastian, and their relationship was hostile. She couldn’t expect him to feel as sad as she did.
Rosalie knew why Theodore had come. The doctor must have informed
him.
Theodore gave her a solemn look. “Rose, can we talk?”
Rosalie knew what he wanted to discuss, and immediately refused. ” No. There’s nothing to talk about. You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”
“I just want to talk to you.”
“Really?” Rosalie smiled sarcastically. “Aren’t you here to talk about. the heart donation?”
Theodore was momentarily speechless. He wanted to discuss that, but seeing Rosalie’s current state, she clearly didn’t want to talk.
However, he had to. Cynthia couldn’t wait much longer.
“Rose, I…”
“Didn’t you hear her? You’re not welcome here!” Yvonne stepped forward angrily. “Please leave!”
“What does this have to do with you? Move aside!” Theodore spat, cold. and harsh.
“You…!” Yvonne was furious.
Rosalie shoved Theodore away forcefully. “Why are you talking to her like that? You’re the one who should leave!”
“Rose, I know you’re upset, but can you calm down and consider what the doctor said? Sebastian’s coma is so severe that he can’t wake up. If you don’t let go, he’ll be hooked to the machines forever. He’ll be living like a zombie, with no awareness of what’s going on around him. No. one wants to live like that. You…”
“Enough! Stop it!” Rosalie cut him off. “I don’t want to hear anymore! The doctor already explained everything. I said I’ll consider it.”
Theodore didn’t believe her. “Will you really consider it? You’re just stalling! You won’t consider it!”
“So what? What do you want now?” Rosalie demanded. “Are you going to force me?”
CON BUN
“I’m not forcing you. I’m just trying to reason with you and discuss this amicably,” Theodore said.
“There’s nothing to discuss. You want me to use Sebastian’s heart to save Cynthia, right? Impossible!”
Hearing Rosalie’s resolute tone, Theodore had mixed feelings. “Why is it impossible? Are you protecting Sebastian? Or are you angry with me? Is that why you want Cindy to die?”
If it was the latter, Theodore, would feel some joy deep down despite his anger. It would mean Rosalie still cared about him, and that she was just jealous and upset–just like he was jealous of Sebastian. If Sebastian died, he wouldn’t lose anything.
“Hey, what are you talking about?” Yvonne snapped. “Don’t think I’ll let you use Seb’s heart to save your mistress! I won’t agree to it!”
“It’s not up to you!” Theodore snarled to Yvonne. Then, he grabbed Rosalie’s shoulders. “It’s all up to you, Rose. You’re his wife and the primary decision–maker. I promise you, if you sign the consent form, I’ll never see Cindy again. You can ask me to do anything, and I’ll stay by your side forever!”
He had already decided that regardless of Cynthia’s fate, he wanted to be with Rosalie. He no longer wanted to lie to himself.
However, to others, Theodore’s words were unacceptable.
Yvonne was indignant. “You’re such a scumbag! Rose is my sister–in- law now. Why should you stay by her side? You just want Seb to die! You’re cruel!”
Theodore snapped, “Your brother is dying. Do you want your so–called sister–in–law to be a widow for life?”
“You…” Yvonne raised her hand, shaking with anger. “You…!”
“Enough!” Rosalie interrupted, pulling away from Theodore. “She’s right. You just want Sebastian to die. How dare you speak so self-
righteously? When you wanted a divorce, I obediently signed the papers. Now you want me back, and I have to obediently return to you? You’re ridiculous!”
“Exactly!” Yvonne echoed, cheering Rosalie on. Despite Rosalie’s usually gentle demeanor, she was unyielding at crucial moments.
“So, you don’t want to come back to me at all? Even if Sebastian dies?”
“Shut up! He won’t die! He’ll survive! I’m not at your beck and call,” Rosalie snarled.
Theodore’s heart was breaking. “I never treated you like that. Why do you see me this way?”
“Because that’s exactly how you are!” Rosalie said in a hoarse voice.” Remember? How many times have you hurt me because of Cynthia? You always believed her over me. You say you love me, but I don’t believe it! How can you love someone and not trust them?”
“Then tell me, when did I not trust you? I trust you now. Tell me, and I’ll believe you,” Theodore pressed.
“Fine,” Rosalie said. “I’ll tell you now! Cynthia’s not a good person, and doesn’t deserve to be saved. Do you believe me?”
In the face of Theodore’s silence, Rosalie broke into cold laughter.
“Look at that! You just contradicted yourself!”
“Rose, that’s not the same! This is about her life. No matter what kind of person Cindy is, as long as there’s a chance, she should be saved. After all, she hasn’t done anything heinous,” Theodore tried to reason.
COMMENTS
“The chance you’re talking about requires Sebastian’s life. She doesn’t deserve this chance!” Rosalie yelled.
Between saving Sebastian and Cynthia, there was no doubt who Rosalie would choose. No matter how slim the hope, she would never give up on Sebastian. Whether Cynthia lived or died had nothing to do with her; she wasn’t that noble.
Everyone would prioritize protecting the people they cared about in crucial times. Only doctors, when facing two injured strangers, would prioritize the one easiest to save and abandon the one with the slimmest hope.
Theodore clenched his fists. “Do you hate Cindy that much? It’s my fault that everything happened. If you want to hate, then hate me.”
“My decision won’t change whether I hate you or not.”
She would make the same choice, even if the patient in need of an organ wasn’t Cynthia.
Theodore didn’t believe Rosalie would be this cold. “You’ve changed! You used to be so kind. You should know it’s not just Cindy waiting for a transplant. There are two other people. Sebastian alone could save three lives.”
Hearing this made Rosalie furious. “Does saving three lives justify sacrificing one? What did Sebastian do wrong? Are human lives elementary school math problems?”
“Don’t you understand? He’s already a zombie!” Theodore shouted.
“Don’t lecture me! I don’t care if he’s a zombie! I won’t agree!”
“Rose, it’s his fate to be lying here today. You’ve been married to him for only one day. Did you think about how selfish your decision is?” Theodore retorted.
1/3
Selfish?
Hearing this word made Rosalie laugh out of anger. It reminded her of when Theodore protected Cynthia and accused her, his very own wife, of being malicious.
This man never failed to disappoint her. No matter how righteous his words sounded, in essence, he always prioritized Cynthia.
Fortunately, he confessed his feelings for her too late. If he had confessed a month ago, she might not have seen his true colors.
“That’s right, I’m selfish. So what if I’ve been married to Sebastian for only one day? Even if we’ve only been married for one minute, I would still be his wife. I have the right to make decisions for him legally. If you don’t like it, sue me!” she spat.
Rosalie was now tired of arguing. In fact, Theodore was the selfish one.
“Exactly!” Yvonne echoed. “Even if they’ve been married for one minute, she’s still my sister–in–law. She has the right to make legal decisions for him and the right to inherit the family’s assets.”
Beep, beep, beep!
Suddenly, the monitor started to beep. Medical staff ran into the room. “Family members, please step out.”
They were forced to leave the room. The doctor pulled the curtain close, and started resuscitating Sebastian.
“Seb…” Rosalie pressed her hands against the glass window, crying as she watched the medical staff attempt to save Sebastian.
Her distress pierced Theodore’s heart. Did she really care that much. about Sebastian?
“Rose, if Sebastian doesn’t make it through this time, will you agree? I’m begging you.” Theodore’s voice was sorrowful.
This time, Rosalie broke down and shouted, “Why are you so cruel?!
Even in this situation, you still say such things! You clearly want. Sebastian to die!”
Suddenly, Rosalie remembered something. She saw the wounds on Theodore’s face, and recalled the fight they had yesterday. Before he left, he had told her something.
“Fine, I’ll go. I’ll give you some time to calm down, but this isn’t the end of it. I won’t stand idly by and watch you and Sebastian live your days as a married couple.”
Rosalie’s heart pounded violently, giving rise to a terrifying thought.

Chapter 459
Why did Sebastian have an accident right when Cynthia needed a heart transplant? And it just so happened that Sebastian’s heart was a match. for her. Could it be that all of this was Theodore’s plan?
Most people would have undergone medical checkups, and their data. was stored in the system. Did Theodore use his connections to conduct a thorough search for a matching donor to save Cynthia, eventually discovering that Sebastian was suitable?
But since Sebastian was still alive, he couldn’t become a donor. In order to save Cynthia, did Theodore resort to something as terrifying as this?
Theodore might be a scumbag, but he wasn’t completely evil. Rosalie didn’t want to believe he could be so wicked–but now, the facts made her consider this possibility.
All of this was too much of a coincidence. One coincidence might be believable, but multiple coincidences together could be a carefully planned scheme.
Even a good person might do something cruel when their interests. were at stake. Everyone had a dark side, and Cynthia was Theodore’s best excuse to commit malice.
Seeing the suspicion in Rosalie’s eyes, Theodore was shaken. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
At that moment, a cute voice called out for her. “Miss.”
Yerick ran over, carrying a backpack.
“Miss, what a coincidence! Why are you here too? What happened?”
Rosalie turned, and saw Yerick standing in front of her. “Yerry, what are you doing here?”
“I’ve been having trouble sleeping, so I came to the hospital to get
some medicine. Miss, what happened? Why are you crying so hard?”
Yerick glanced at Theodore, and seemed to understand something.
“Is he hurting you again? Didn’t you find a better husband? Where is he?” he said.
“He…” Rosalie glanced at the ward, her eyes filled with tears.
Yerick looked through the glass window. He was stunned when he saw the person inside. “Miss, what happened to your husband?”
Rosalie started crying.
“Don’t cry!” Yerick stepped forward, and gently patted her back.
“Who are you?” Theodore immediately stepped forward, and pushed Yerick away roughly. “Don’t touch her!” +
Yerick stumbled back a few steps, and fell to the ground with a thud,
“Theodore! What are you doing?” Rosalie moved to help Yerick up, but Yerick stood up on his own.
“Miss, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” He was well–behaved and polite.
Theodore sneered. He hadn’t used much force, but the kid had deliberately fallen down. He was clearly putting on an act.
Seeing Theodore’s menacing expression, Yerick trembled and hid behind Rosalie. “Miss, he’s so scary. It’s good you divorced him. He must have hit you often.”
Yerick’s words, whether out of anger or on purpose, were spoken through gritted teeth.
Theodore was infuriated. “Where did you come from?! What right do you have to comment on our marriage?”
He accepted being called a scumbag, but he couldn’t tolerate being accused of hitting Rosalie. That was slander!
“He’s my friend. Why did you push him?” Rosalie flared up.
Yerick, seemingly very frightened, grabbed her arm and clung to her. His head was lowered like a scared puppy, and he looked pitiful. Even though he was much taller than her, he looked like a fragile younger brother beside her, his eyes filled with fear.
In this situation, Rosalie didn’t shake off his hand but instead stood closer to him, like a sister protecting her brother.
COMMENTS
This upset Theodore deeply.
“Who’s really getting handsy here? I didn’t know you had so many male friends and were so close to them, Rose. You’re such a good actress! You made me feel guilty, but in reality, you were messing around! How many men do you have?”
In his anger, Theodore spoke without restraint. His heart was burning with fury.
Yerick mustered the courage to stand in front of Rosalie. “Hey, that’s too much! How can you say that about Rose? You’re the jerk who hurt. her and made her cry. How can you be so awful?”
Theodore suddenly laughed. “Rose, how many men have you found to comfort you? It seems like you’ve been telling our business to every man you meet!”
Seeing the mockery in Theodore’s eyes, Rosalie’s heart was torn in two. So, Theodore thought she was promiscuous and a hypocrite.
Rosalie didn’t know how to react anymore; she just found him utterly
ridiculous.
He couldn’t see what kind of person Cynthia was, no matter how much the latter was exposed. And yet, when it came to her… Just because other men spoke up for her, he immediately assumed she was cheating
on him.
“Theodore, you say you trust me, but this is your idea of trust? You’ve truly opened my eyes. I used to find you laughable, but now, you disgust me!” Rosalie sneered.
Her feelings for this man had shifted from deep love to heartbreak, disappointment, and now to disgust. Sadly, a decade of love had come
to this.
Theodore’s expression darkened in an instant. “Disgust? Rose, you
1/3
better explain yourself!”
He wanted to grab Rosalie, but Yerick stood firmly in front of her. Don’t touch her! You’re a jerk. You’re not worthy of her. It’s a good thing she married someone else. I think you…”
“Get out of my way!” Theodore lost control, and punched Yerick in the face.
“Argh!” Yerick fell to the ground once more.
Yvonne was shocked, and hurried to help him up. “Are you okay?”
Yerick touched his mouth, and felt some blood at the corner of his lips. He curled up, looking like a wounded puppy. He seemed really pitiful.
“Theodore!” Rosalie screamed, and slapped him hard. “You’ve gone too far!”
Theodore clutched his face, feeling the sting. He snorted. “You always hit me for other men when I’ve never laid a finger on you, but you indulge other men to slander me.”
“Never laid a finger? What did you do to me yesterday?! I just didn’t hold it against you, Theodore! Otherwise…” Rosalie didn’t finish her sentence, but it was clear what she was implying.
She stepped forward, and helped Yerick up with Yvonne’s help. “Are you alright? Does it hurt?”
She gently touched Yerick’s injured face.
“Miss, it’s okay. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you,” he assured.
Yvonne was also confused about what was going on. Since when did Rosalie take in a younger brother who loved to cling to her?
Just then, several police officers walked over. “Excuse me, are you Mrs. Carter?“!
Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”
“We are currently investigating Mr. Carter’s case, and have a few questions for you,” the officer said.
Rosalie nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”
“Do you know where Mr. Caster went before the incident?”
Rosalie shook her head. “I don’t.”
“Do you know if he has any enemies?”
Rosalie glanced angrily at Theodore before saying, “Before the
incident, my husband had a dispute with this man. They fought, and he told me this wasn’t over. The next day, my husband was hurt.”
