Chapter 457
“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.
