Chapter 473
“Theo, I don’t want to die! I want to be your wife and live on. I don’t want to be your wife just for a few days. Save me, won’t you? Please save me!” Cynthia pleaded.
She couldn’t care less about getting married to Theodore at this point. She was originally elated to hear gun promise to marry her, because she was certain she would have a new heart.
Yet now, he was suddenly telling her that the heart was no longer available.
In that case, what was the point of him marrying her? Even if he married her today, she might die tomorrow or the day after that!
She didn’t want to use her life to bet on just a short-lived moment of having her dream come true. She wanted to live on as Mrs. Spencer and be a loving couple with Theodore their entire lives.
“If I could give you my heart, I would,” Theodore said solemnly as he held Cynthia’s hand. “But Cindy, there are some things that we just can’t control.”
If his heart was a match with hers, he would gladly get into a car accident and donate his heart to Cynthia.
After all, his heart was already in a bloody mess. Just the mere thought of Rosalie made his heart almost stop pumping; the heart-wrenching pain ate away at him, making him utterly miserable.
He didn’t want to live anymore.
If he were the one lying on a hospital bed, would Rosalie be sad for him?
Jealousy and anger ate at Theodore. He couldn’t bear the thought of the woman who was once his, to cry her heart for another man.
And yet, he had it coming. What a huge irony it all was!
Tears streaked Cynthia’s face.
“I’ll take you to another hospital later. I promise you, it’ll be better, and you won’t suffer,” Theodore went on.
“Are you sending me to a hospice?” Cynthia asked in a trembling voice.
Patients sent to a hospice usually had no hope of being cured.
Theodore didn’t reply to Cynthia, but his silence said it all.
“No, I’m not going!” Cynthia shook her head profusely. “Theo, I’m not transferring to another hospital. I’m staying here!”
She couldn’t go to a hospice. Going to a hospice meant that Theodore had given up on her!
“Cindy, calm down. Staying here doesn’t do you any good.”
If she found out that Rosalie was here too, she might become even more agitated. Theodore had no choice but to take her away.
“I’m not going,” Cynthia repeated as
she clutched her chest. “I’m not
I
going! Theo, I’m begging you. I want to stay here. Please don’t send me elsewhere… Please!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Cynthia’s cheeks were wet with her tears. Theodore couldn’t bear seeing her cry so sorrowfully.
“Please, Theo. I’m begging you,” Cynthia said as she hugged him tight. “Don’t send me elsewhere. Don’t you want to fulfill my wish? I wish to stay here!”
Theodore sighed. “Alright, Cindy. I promise you, I won’t transfer you to another hospital.”
He was worried Cynthia might die from getting too agitated even before getting transferred to another hospital. The only thing he could do right now was to keep her in her best mood possible. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Theodore stayed by Cynthia’s side for a while longer. She looked weak and feeble, slipping in and out of consciousness while hugging the wedding gown in her arms.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She didn’t even have the energy to even get married to Theodore.
Right now, what was most
important to her wasn’t getting married to Theodore, but surviving this ordeal. Without her life, what
good was being his wife for a couple of days? Content belongs to

Given her condition right now, they couldn’t even consummate their marriage.
“Theo, go back and rest,” she urged.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay with you,” Theodore said.
Cynthia shook her head. “No, I can’t bear to see you like this. Go back and rest. Come back and be with me after you’re well-rested.”
“It’s alright. I want to be with you.”
“Theo, I want to be alone for a while and think through things quietly. Come visit me tomorrow, alright? I just want to be by myself and calm down for a while now.”
This was Cynthia’s first time asking Theodore to leave.
Theodore pondered for a moment before nodding. “Alright, then.”
It was reasonable for Cynthia to request for some time alone after hearing such news.
Soon after, Theodore left.
Not long later, Cynthia pulled out her phone from under the pillow and secretly dialed a number.
