Chapter 304
When he said the word “friends“, it was clearly in quotes. Cynthial

knew this no one in the world would make friends this way.
Ulterior motives like these were only driven by self–interest.
Cynthia suddenly burst into laughter
“Of course Theo is very important to me! You’re ridiculous to think that you can get me a heart. Theo hasn’t even managed it yet, but you say you can.”
The man took a phone from his pocket, and tapped it a few times. Suddenly, the hospital alarm blared, the sound shrill and ear–piercing.
Cynthia became tense, and her face turned pale. “What did you do?”
“Nothing, just playing with the alarm. Listen to how nervous people
outside are.”
He stood up, and straightened his coat.
“It seems you truly love Theodore, Miss Zeller. You don’t doubt his sincerity at all. In that case, we can’t be friends–though I admire you. Love is more important to you than your own life. It’s commendable. Maybe when you get to the underworld, the King of Hell will show you
mercy.”
He walked to the door, and opened it to leave.
Cynthia clenched the bedsheet; instinctively, she blurted out, “Wait!! don’t even know who you are! How do I know if you’re telling the truth? If you want to be friends with me, you have to prove it!”
The man turned, and asked slowly, “If I can prove it to you, will you accept my proposal?”

Cynthia said nervously, “That depends on how you’ll prove it to me.” The man raised his hand, and pulled down his hat. “I’ll come find you again. Remember, don’t play tricks with me. I know everything about you, including what you did abroad.”
When Cynthia heard this, she was thunderstruck.
How did this man know?!
No, it was impossible! He must be trying to scare her!
Knowing she had been abroad wasn’t difficult, but how would he know what had happened there?
Just then, the medical staff burst into the room and announced, Miss Zeller, we need to transfer you.
They were about to move Cynthia’s bed when suddenly, the alarm stopped.
A voice came over the intercom. “Due to a system malfunction, the alarm was triggered. The issue has been resolved. It is safe, so don’t worry. Staff, please return to your posts.”
Cynthia recalled how the man had tapped his phone earlier. It seemed. he had some control over the hospital.
Who was he? Could he really find a matching heart for her? Where would he go to look for it?
Cynthia was shocked.
This was what the doctor told Theodore when he called.
Today, the hospital alarm malfunctioned and scared Cynthia.
Her heart was already weak, and this scare worried Theodore even

more, prompting him to rush to the hospital.
Cynthia looked haggard. “Theo, you’re here… I thought I’d never see you again.”
Theodore asked the doctor about her condition. Fortunately, Cynthia
had stabilized.
“It’s good you’re okay,” he said. “The hospital has assured me this won’t happen again.”
“Theo, let’s not fool ourselves. I’m not okay. I’m not going to get a heart in time, right?”
“I will find one for you!”
“How?” Cynthia asked. “I know how hard it is to find a heart, unless…”
