Theodore kept harping on things between her and Sebastian, and Rosalie was getting annoyed by it. They were clearly divorced. She was free to do anything she pleased.
Despite that, she had to tolerate Theodore''s judgment of her and Sebastian, as if whatever they did was immoral and indecent.
They were both single, so what if they grew close? Even if they really slept together, who had the right toment? Why was Theodore allowed to be entangled with Cynthia while he was married, while she had to be med for getting close to Sebastian after her divorce?
Why were men tolerated for whatever they did, while women had to be med?
If she forgave the man who hurt her, she would be called cheap.
If she got close with another man, others would call her frivolous. She would be attacked no matter what she did!
Everyone was biased and had double standards, and unable to be objective and fair.
Theodore remained silent for a long while. He didn''t know what to say.
Rosalie was thoroughly exhausted. "I really don''t want to argue and fight with you anymore. It''s too frustrating. Quiet harassing me, I''m begging you!" Theodore was bing too heavy a burden for Rosalie now.
When she wanted him, he kept looking for Cynthia, no matter how much she tried to make him stay. Yet now, when she no longer wanted him, he kept clinging to her.
Life was funny like this-you don''t get what you wanted no matter how hard you tried, and then you get so manying along when you didn''t want
it.
It was exhausting.
Theodore said he loved her and she believed him, but she was even more convinced that his love for her was weaker than his love for himself.
True love would drive one to let go and not insist on giving the other party something she doesn''t want. True love wasn''t forcing things upon the other party, and feeling all noble about it while ming the other party for herck of response.
That wasn''t love. That was possessiveness!
Theodore was at a loss as to what to do. He wanted to approach her and give her a hug, but he knew it would only hurt her even more, so he didn''t dare to do it. He could only take a few steps back and open the door of the ward.
"Go and do what you need to do. I won''t bother you anymore."
Rosalie wiped her tears away, and ran out the door.
Afterposing herself, Rosalie went to Yerick''s ward.
Coincidentally, the doctor was on his rounds there. The operation was a sess, and Yerick was fine. He just needed to rest in the hospital for a few days, and he could be discharged.
After the doctor left, Rosalie sat on the chair next to Yerick''s bed. "Yerry, how do you feel today? Does it still hurt?"
Yerick shook his head. "I''m not in pain anymore. Do you feel unwell? Why are your eyes red?"
Rosalie smiled. "I''m fine."
"Are you tired from the pregnancy?"
Rosalie nodded. "Probably so."
"It''s been tough on you. I know it''s not easy being pregnant. Many things have happened during this time, and I''m sure you''ve been under tons ofpressure. You''ve been so brave, shouldering everything and persisting through it all."
"Thank you, Yerry."
She hadn''t known Yerick for a long time, but this 18-year-old seemed so kind and understanding.
"Rose, promise me to go for a prenatal check-up. I know you really love the baby in your tummy, so you can''t be careless about it."Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Rosalie nodded. "Okay, I''ll go for a
check-up as soon as I can. Oh yes, Yerick. Let me help you contact your family members. Now that you''re unwell you need them to be around. It''s too much to take it all byo yourself."

She knew too well how that felt, to not have a loved one by your side at your lowest and most painful. It almost made her lose all hope.
Thankfully, Sebastian was by her side when she was in much pain. She didn''t want Yerick to be all alone right now.
"Well..." Yerick said hesitantly. "There''s no need for that. I can handle it alone and take care of myself."
"Yerry, it''s alright. I know you''re good, but your family''s probably worried about you, too."
Yerick suddenly sighed. "Things aren''t what you think they are."
