Chapter 61
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 made it clear that he hadn’t slept well last night, Rosalie said, “You should go home and
rest now.”
Theodore looked at her, about to say something, when his phone rang.
“Hello.” His expression quickly turned annoyed. “How could that happen? How do you people operate? You can’t even take care of one
person properly. I’m coming over now!”
Theodore ended the call and said, “Rose, I have to leave. I’ve arranged for someone to take care of you, they’ll be here soon. Also, I’ll send you the divorce papers today. If you don’t see any issues, just sign them.”
Rosalie’s heart trembled. What was meant to happen would
eventually come to be. Even though this man sometimes treated her well, it was all just an illusion. The one he truly loved was Cynthia.
Theodore had just grabbed his coat to leave when Rosalie suddenly called out, “Theo.”
Theodore paused. “Is there anything else?”
“Are you going to see Cynthia?”
“Yes. She’s got a fever,” Theodore replied flatly.
“Oh, then go ahead.”
Rosalie’s voice was eerily calm. As his wife was lying on a hospital bed, he was rushing to leave because another woman had a fever. How nice. It was just a pity that Cynthia wasn’t his wife yet. If she was, everything he was doing would be reasonable.
With his back to her and without turning his head, Theodore said softly, “You said it yourself that you think of me as a brother. If that’s the case, then Cindy is your sister–in–law, isn’t she?”
Rosalie suddenly chuckled. She found it amusing that she wasn’t even angry hearing such words. She felt nothing but amusement. Being tormented by this man had forged her heart into one of steel.
Before Rosalie could respond, Theodore had already left, his footsteps fading into the distance.
from her mouth. Even a heart of steel could ache sometimes. Nothing was unbreakable.

Theodore was on his way out of the hospital when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the distance. After confirming it multiple times, he recognized Stephanie, who was dressed in a nurse’s
uniform and going about her duties.
Frowning, he strode over and asked, “Stephanie, why are you here?”
Startled by the voice behind her, Stephanie turned around, forcing a stiff smile when she saw who it was.
“Mr. Spencer, I see you’re still here.”
“I have another question for you. Are you working here?”
He hadn’t known about this.
“I… yes. Is there a problem?” Stephanie replied nervously.
Theodore was about to ask why she hadn’t told him about this, but paused. Why was he even asking this? What did Stephanie working here have to do with him? But something didn’t feel right.
“What’s wrong? Is it a problem that I work here?”
Stephanie’s heart raced. Did Theodore suspect that she was up to something and was using her position to meddle and prevent him from knowing about Rosalie’s pregnancy?
Theodore’s expression darkened. He was unable to pinpoint what
was off, but right now he didn’t have time to figure it out, as he had to hurry to check on Cynthia. In the end, he turned and walked away, leaving Stephanie shivering.
