    "Theodore... Theodore!" Aurora cried out his name, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you treating me like this? Why?" Aurora really wanted to chase after him and disregard all her concerns, but right now, she didn''t have an ounce of strength left.


    "Why did I fall in love with someone like you? Why?"


    Aurora didn''t understand. It had only been a few days, and she had only met him a handful of times, yet she couldn''t seem to let go of him. "Why did you fall? How pitiful. Let me help you up.''


    A man suddenly appeared in front of her and helped her up from the floor.


    Aurora raised her head, and saw a stranger standing before her. She frowned in confusion. "Who are you?"


    "Lie down first, and I''ll exin slowly."Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Yerick helped her onto the bed and tucked her in.


    Aurora wiped the tears from her face.


    Seeing Yerick looking at her with a half-smile, Aurora felt a bit uneasy. "Who exactly are you?"


    "Do you remember that email?"


    Aurora''s heart skipped a beat. "You sent that email?"


    Yerick nodded. "Yes."


    "Why did you send me that email?"


    "Because I wanted you to save Theodore."


    Aurora stared at him in shock. "What are you saying? You wanted me to save him? How did you know he was going to die? What exactly is going on?"


    "Yes, I know Theodore almost died there. I didn''t want him to die, which is why I contacted you and had you go save him."


    "Who exactly are you? You...you..." Aurora seemed frightened.


    Yerick quickly poured her a ss of water. "Calm down. Let me exin slowly."


    After Aurora drank half a ss of water, she calmed down. Yerick sat down in the chair beside her.


    "Theodore must have told you about his ex-wife, right?" he asked.


    Aurora nodded. "Yes. What''s your rtionship with Mr. Spencer?"


    "My rtionship with him isplicated. I made mistakes in the past, and as a result, we cut ties." Yerick sighed softly.


    "So, you were very close before? Were you good friends?"


    "We were more than good friends. That''s why when we had a fallout, it was not reversible. He refuses to see me now, so I can only help him this way."


    "Help him?" Aurora asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"


    "Since he mentioned his ex-wife, he must have also told you that she''s married to someone else now, right?"


    Aurora nodded. "Yes."


    "His ex-wife hates him deeply. Time and again, she''s tried to make him pay with his life," Yerick said seriously. "What did you say?" Aurora eximed in shock. "How could this be?"


    "When a woman is betrayed, she''s capable of anything. So, his ex-wife has always wanted Theodore to suffer."


    "But Mr. Spencer has already apologized! He knows he was wrong. He—"


    "Apologies are meaningless," Yerick interrupted her. "Not all mistakes can be forgiven."


    He continued, "Many times, I''ve


    warned Theodore to be careful of his ex-wife, but he wouldn''t listen to me. That man is too foolish and too in love. He''s willing to let her hurt him Even though he knew he''d be injured or even die if he went there, he still went."


    Hearing what Yerick said, Aurora seemed to understand something.


    "Are you saying that the reason he nearly died at that time was because of his ex-wife?"


    Yerick''s expression grew solemn. "Yes."


    "How do you know all this?"


    "Theodore knows it, so how could I not?" Yerick said. "I tried every way I could to stop him, but he was willing to do anything to win back his ex-wife I could foresee what she what she was going to do, which is why contacted you. I thought you could save him."


    Aurora was overwhelmed and couldn''t process all she heard at once.


    Out of instinct, she asked, "Why did you think I could save him? I didn''t even know him at the time."
