    "Ms. Payne, don''t panic. Time is on your side. As long as you keep to the doctors'' medical advice, artificial hearts might be a reality as medical science progresses. Don''t be so pessimistic."


    Theodore''sforting words made Aurora feel slightly better.


    "Mr. Spencer, I''m so sorry for bothering you and making youe over in the middle of the night."


    "It''s fine."


    It was raining heavily outside. Theodore nced at the raindrops clinging onto the window, and sighed.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ms. Payne, do you believe in telepathy?"


    "Telepathy?" Aurora repeated doubtfully. "Why the sudden mention of it? Do you feel like you have telepathy with someone?"


    Theodore pulled out his wallet from his pocket, and retrieved a photo of Rosalie.


    "For some reason, thoughts of my wife suddenly came to mind and I feel very sad. I even feel some stomach difort."


    Aurora leaned against the headboard, looking at Theodore''s back doubtfully. "Are you missing her so much that it''s messing with your mind?" Theodore sighed. "Perhaps."


    He slipped the photo back into his wallet. Aurora''s eyes dimmed ever so slightly.


    Theodore turned around, and nced at Aurora. "Get some rest."


    "What about you?"


    "I''ll leave after you fall asleep. Get some rest now." Theodore returned to the couch, and sat down.


    He clutched his chest, which hurt so much he felt as though someone was digging his heart out.


    He suddenly stood up from the couch, and rushed out of the ward.


    Aurora didn''t even have time to react before Theodore disappeared.


    Didn''t he say that he would wait till she fell asleep? Why did he just leave like that?


    Bam, bam!


    Sydney was deep in slumber when she was rudely awoken by someone pounding on her door.


    She jumped out of bed in fright.


    She came to the door and looked through the peephole, only to find Theodore standing right outside her door, all drenched.


    Sydney hurriedly opened the door. "Theo, it''s sote! What are you doing here?"


    "Quick,e in," Sydney said as she immediately pulled Theodore into the house and shut the door.


    She grabbed a clean towel to dry Theodore''s face and hair.


    "Why didn''t you take an umbre with you? You''re all drenched, and it''s so cold outside. What if you fall sick?!"


    Sydney was very worried about him. "Quick, remove your wet clothes. I''ll get you some clean and dry clothes to change into." Sydney pulled Theodore to her bedroom, but his feet remained rooted to the floor.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Where''s Rose?"


    "What?"


    Theodore suddenly grabbed Sydney''s shoulders and asked in agitation, "Mom, tell me where Rose is right now, won''t you?"


    He desperately needed to know right


    now.


    the


    sudde didn''t know why he felt t


    nurgency, as if somethi happening to Rose.


    "Why do you suddenly want to know where she is?"


    Sydney nced at the despondent look in Theodore''s eyes, and felt greatly uneasy and worried.


    "Theo, everything has been fine this far. Why did you suddenly mention her? Did she contact you?"


    "Why won''t you tell me where she is?"


    "Theo, I..."


    Theodore cut her off, and asked solemnly, "Where exactly is she?"


    Sydney tightened her hold over the towel in her hand and admitted, "She''s with her husband right now Are you going to look for her? I can give you her address, but what are you going to do when you go there?"

    Theodore slowly released Sydney, and took a few steps back.


    Hopelessness filled his eyes. His


    heart throbbed with excruciatinget


    pain, a kind of pain piercing through his chest that he almost couldn''t bear.


    He clutched his chest, and turned to leave.


    "Theo," Sydney called out to him, trying to stop him from leaving, but Theodore was already gone. Sydney leaned against the door. "I''m sorry, Theo."
