“Why didn’t you tell me you went?” Theodore asked. He wondered if, perhaps, that was the night


    Rosalie soughtfort from Sebastian.


    Thinking of Sebastian, his eyes grew cold again. Sebastian naturally became his enemy right from


    their first meeting, like there could be no two rulers in one town.


    “What’s there to tell?” Rosalie was indifferent. “As soon as I saw how much you cared for Cynthia, I


    left.”


    “Why didn’t you go home? Why did you go to Sebastian instead?” Theodore pressed.


    Rosalie stayed silent. She didn’t tell him that it had rained heavily that night, and that she had


    copsed in the rain in pain. She had also


    nearly met with an ident.

    Sebastian was the one who came all the way to visit her at the


    hospital. At that time, Theodore was by Cynthia’s bedside, and didn’t leave for a second.


    She was very grateful to Sebastian for providing herfort in her moments of despair. She didn’t


    see a need to let Theodore know all this; he would only see her as even more pathetic.


    Silence fell over the room. Theodore didn’t say anything more, but his heart ached, as if something


    was wing it.


    After Rosalie reapplied his medication and wrapped new bandages around him, she put the medical


    kit away.


    “All done. You can sleep now.” Rosalie went back to the sofa to lie down.


    Laying on his side, Theodore stared at her fixedly.


    “Cynthia needs a heart, but we don’t know when the doctors will find a suitable one. I’ll probably


    marry her soon, before her surgery.”


    Rosalie was lying on her back, staring calmly at the ceiling. She clenched the hem of her clothes


    tightly under the nket, and said with a wry smile, “If you want to fulfill her wish, marry her soon.


    It’s difficult to get heart donors.”


    She felt pain, but the agony was mingled with a numbness. More urately, she had gotten used to


    it. Now that they were divorced, she shouldn’t expect things to change; she should just get used to


    the pain until it became numb.


    “If you ever want to marry someone in the future, I’ll give you the best dowry,” Theodore suddenly


    said.


    Rosalie raised an eyebrow and turned around. “What did you say?”


    “I’m your brother.” Theodore smiled gently. “So, I’ll take care of you for life. If any man mistreats you


    in the future, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson.”


    “So, you’re going to teach my future husband a lesson as my brother?


    Rosalie asked.


    Theodore nodded. “Yes.”


    Rosalie smiled mirthlessly. “Then can I, as your sister, teach Cynthia a lesson? If she does anything


    wrong, can I do that too?”


    Theodore’s expression stiffened.


    After a pause, he said helplessly, “I’m tired. You should sleep, too.”


    In the end, whenever Cynthia was mentioned, he had nothing more to


    say.


    Theodore slowly closed his eyes.


    Rosaliey down, facing the ceiling again. Tears slid down the corners of her eyes. She wiped them


    away, pretending those tears had never fallen.


    Time ticked by slowly.


    Rosalie couldn’t sleep. She turned to look at Theodore, and saw that he was fast asleep.


    Checking the time, she realized it was already early morning. Time sure flew by.


    Rosalie touched her abdomen gently.


    “Baby, isn’t your dad ridiculous? He wants to divorce me for another woman, but now, he’s


    shamelessly saying he’ll protect me forever. There’s no one more ridiculous than him.”
