Rosalie felt light-headed. "Theo, my head hurts so much. I really want to sleep."
Theodore''s eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow. He knew that she must be exhausted, both physically and emotionally.
He gently stroked her face. "It''s alright. You can sleep. I''ll take care of everything else."
"Theo, he can''t die! He''s my savior! If it weren''t for him, I would be dead. It was so terrifying when those men captured me. They wanted to hurt me. He risked his life to save me. He even took a bullet for me. Please don''t let him die!" Rosalie said weakly, her eyes full of tears as she pleaded with him.
"Alright," Theodore held her tightly, whispering into her ear. "I won''t let him die."This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
Rosalie slowly closed her eyes.
Theodore sighed and kissed her forehead. "Rose, what should I do with you?"
She was so heartbroken over another man, but he had to go along with her and promise her that man wouldn''t die.
Theodore knew he had no right to ask Rosalie for anything. He and Rosalie were already divorced, and it was he who had insisted on the divorce. He had hurt her.
It was his fault that Rosalie had found another man, but he still couldn''t stop the pain.
She was truly his rose, and now she was in his arms. How could he let go?
Theodore gently traced his thumb along her delicate lips, unable to resist lowering his head and kissing her. How long had it been since he kissed her like this?
They said when you kissed someone you loved, you closed your eyes. This time, Theodore kept his eyes open because he couldn''t bear to close them. He wanted to look at her a little longer. To him, every moment was a gift. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes for even a second, this woman would disappear.
His lips lingered on hers for a long time. He was unwilling to pull away, wishing time would freeze at this moment.
Before, when he kissed Aurora, he closed his eyes and imagined her as Rosalie, but she was not Rosalie.
He had done the most despicable
thing-he had found a subset
rece
the woman he loved. In
doing so, he had wronged both
dora and Rosalie.

He knew he shouldn''t have done it, but he couldn''t resist. This was perhaps the dark side of human nature. Even though he knew it was wrong, he still did it, all because he desired her.
"Rose, I love you." Theodore kissed her lips once more, then reluctantly let go of her.
He gently unbuttoned the clothes she was wearing and took them off, and then carried her to the shower. He used warm water to clean her body.
Rosalie had stretch marks on her abdomen. Having recently given birth, there was a bit of extra flesh. Theodore gently caressed it.
"Rose, why did you have a child with. him? Do you know how much pain I feel? The thought of Sebastian bing the father of your child. hate it. Why him?" he muttered. "If we had a child together, how
ve
wonderful would that be? If we had a
child, would we have stayed
together instead of divorcing?"
Theodore carefully washed every inch of Rosalie''s body.
As his palm brushed across her skin, he couldn''t help but recall the intimate moments they once shared. His eyes began to redden.
She had given her body, her heart, and her love to Sebastian.
Just thinking about it made Theodore feel a sharp pain in his chest.
The bathroom was filled with mist, the air heavy and damp.
