Rosalie almost dared not pick up the call, but she bit the bullet and answered it anyway.
“Hello, Grandma.”
“Rose, what happened? I heard out the wedding. Is it true? Theo caused trouble at the wedding?” Rebecca asked.
“Grandma, things are a little complicated. I’ll explain things to you the next time I meet.”
“Just tell me if it’s Theo’s fault. If it is, I’ll teach him a lesson,” Rebecca said, with a tinge of anger.
“Theo was rash, but this wasn’t entirely his fault. I’m a little busy right now. I’ll pay you a visit next time and explain the entire situation in person. Don’t worry.”
“Where is he right now? Why can’t I reach him by phone?”
“He’s with me right now, we’re discussing some work–related things. I’m a shareholder of SK Enterprise now, after all. I have to be in the know about some things, so I’m seizing this chance to talk through things with him,” Rosalie explained.
“Alright,” Rebecca said. “Have a good talk with him. Whatever it is, he has to give me a good explanation. I didn’t make him attend the wedding just so he could ruin it! He actually broke the couple up, he’s mad!”
Rebecca sounded furious.
“I know, Grandma, but he didn’t do it on purpose. That groom really did cheat on the bride, and his whole family hid it from her. I think it’s good they didn’t go through with the wedding. It’s a good thing for your friend’s granddaughter. Time will heal all wounds.”
“That might be true, but what he did caused such a huge uproar. He could very well have brought it up in private! Why announce it in public? I heard he was reeking of alcohol at that time. Did he drink a
lot?” Rebecca said.
“He didn’t drink much, and he did it so I wouldn’t have to. Grandma, don’t blame him.”
Rebecca sighed. “You keep defending him, I don’t even know what to do about you! I won’t force you now. I’ll wait for you to have the time to visit me and tell me all about this.”
“Alright Grandma. I got it.”
With that, they hung up.
Rosalie stared at the sign above the doors of the operating theater, wondering when Theodore would come out. There was no way she could go back to Sebastian for the time being.
She called Sebastian, wanting to tell him that she would be back late. He answered the call very quickly.
“Rose.”

“Seb, how do you feel today?”
“I feel a little empty because you’re not with me, but I’m fine. I need to learn how to be independent.”
Rosalie felt like she was taking care of two children.
Sebastian was like her older son, who was slowly growing up and becoming sensible. He was no longer clinging onto ‘Mommy‘, and his growth pleased her.
Theo was like her younger son whom she hadn’t weaned off yet, and was kicking up a fuss and being difficult every day.
“Seb, I still have some things to settle and might go back late. Are you okay alone?”
“Yes, no problem. I’m not alone, I have someone taking care of me. Don’t worry about me, go and do what you have to do.”
Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. Sebastian didn’t sound upset at all.
Her ‘older son‘ had grown up and become sensible indeed, making things easier for her. But…
She looked at the operating theater.
Her ‘younger son‘ Theodore was still causing her much trouble, and she wondered when he would grow up.
Chapter 562
“Rose? Rose. ?” Sebastian couldn’t hear her voice.
“I’m here.” Rosalie said. “I’ll rush back as fast as I can. Don’t worry about me.”
“Yes, honey. I’ll be good.”
Sebastian’s voice sounded pleasant to the ear, and he was being so obedient that Rosalie’s heart
ached.
People often say it was the squeaky wheel that got the grease, while the quiet wheel gets no attention. At this moment, Rosalie found Sebastian so obedient that her heart ached for him. On the other hand, Theodore was so clingy that is frustrated her deeply.
Despite her mounting frustrations, she couldn’t simply ignore him. She had to consider Grandma, too.
“Alright, I’ll get going. Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything.”
Sebastian said, “Yes, honey.”
After hanging up, Rosalie walked to the seats. She was about to sit down when someone appeared before her. Yvonne stood in front of her in her heels, a solemn look on her face.
Rosalie was very shocked to see her. “Vonnie, what are you doing here?”
“Do you not want to see me?”
Seeing Yvonne’s solemn expression, Rosalie said, “What I meant was, I don’t understand why I’m seeing you here. Is it a coincidence? Or…”
Rosalie knew mid–sentence that it was certainly not a coincidence.
“Vonnie, did you follow me?”
“Why did you lie to me?” Yvonne asked her with furrowed brows.
“What did I lie to you about?” Rosalie asked her back.
“You told me you went to attend a wedding by yourself, but why did I see you with Theodore? Does Seb know that you went to a wedding with Theodore? He certainly didn’t know about it. You lied to
him, too!” Yvonne snapped.
“Vonnie, do you really want me to tell Seb that I’m attending a wedding with Theo? You clearly know about your brother’s current situation!”
“So you think it’s okay to be with Theodore.”
“I’m not with him! I just went to a wedding with him.”
“Why must you attend the wedding with him?” Yvonne pressed.
Rosalie was getting angry at Yvonne’s interrogations.

“I did hide the truth from you, but I did it to avoid problems! If I told you I’m attending a wedding with Theo, I know you’d get womed, so I didn’t tell you about it. I attended the wedding with him because the couple is my grandma’s friend. They don’t know that Theo and I are divorced. We pretended to still be married for my grandma’s sake.”
“You two are divorced, so why bother putting up a pretense? Isn’t it very normal for couples to get divorced nowadays? It’s not anything worth hiding,” Yvonne argued.
“You might think so, but not Grandma,” Rosalie said.
“Even so, why did you behave so intimately with him? Don’t forget that you’re my brother’s wife right now. Was it appropriate for you to behave that way?” Yvonne retorted.
“How was I intimate with him? I made things very clear to him! I sent him to the hospital because he had too much to drink and had gastric pains. How is all that inappropriate? If so, was it appropriate that you followed me in secret? That you’re here questioning me like this? Don’t forget, the marriage between Seb and me isn’t real! What right do you have to question me?” Rosalie fought back.
If Yvonne had asked her nicely, Rosalie would patiently explain things to her and wouldn’t get angry. However, Yvonne had to question her like she had done something wrong and that she had caught. her red–handed.

Rosalie’s conscience was clear. Everyone knew about her marriage with Sebastian, and the two of them had never done anything to cross the line.
What’s more, she and Theodore didn’t do anything bad attending the wedding today. She had been rejecting Theodore all along, so it mo her uncomfortable that Yvonne had misunderstood her that
way.
“Even if your marriage with my brother isn’t for real, you shouldn’t have gotten involved with your ex- husband again. You know how he treated you before, Yvonne said.
“I’m not getting involved with him again! Since you followed me, didn’t you see what happened? I told him I don’t love him anymore,” Rosalie said, defending herself.
“What’s the point of just saying so? He keeps pestering you. What if he goes to Seb and shoots his mouth off? A man like him is capable of anything!” Yvonne argued.
“Is it my fault that he pesters me non–stop? What’s the point of questioning me like this? Vonnie, I have my own life and my considerations, as well as things that I have no control over. I grew up in the Spencer household. I can’t possibly make a clean break with their entire family! Things are very complicated as they are. Many things and relationships in this world aren’t a clear black and white situation.”
“Are you saying you’ll continue getting involved with Theodore?” Yvonne pressed further.
Rosalie’s mind was reeling from the conversation.
“Vonnie, why do you not understand what I’m trying to say? It’s not that I want to be involved with Theo. I was raised by the Spencers, and I can’t cut off ties with them just because I divorced Theo. All the more I can’t abandon my grandmother, who brought me up. I might not even be alive today without her. I can’t possibly not have any interactions with Theo, either. If you think I did wrong or acted inappropriately because of these interactions, I can only say you’re judging me based on your own perspective.”
Yvonne didn’t experience what she had gone through, and naturally wouldn’t understand. Her parents died when she was a child, and her aunt spent all the compensation money before abandoning her. If the Spencers hadn’t rescued her, she couldn’t imagine what state she might be in right now.
No matter what, she was indebted to the Spencers. She couldn’t possibly see them or even Theodore as enemies just because of the divorce.
“I’m judging it based on your perspective!” Yvonne said angrily. “Theodore hurt you! Even if you’re close to Grandma, there shouldn’t be a need for you to continue seeing that bastard.”
“Vonnie, don’t say that of him.”
“What, are you angry now? Trying to defend him?” Yvonne exclaimed. “Did you forget how he treated you in the past?”
“I didn’t forget, and I won’t ever forget it. I’m not defending him, but my relationship with Theodore

isn’t a matter of right or wrong. I can think of him as a bastard who hurt me, but you don’t understand him. You weren’t the one who spent ten years with him. You only see his bad side, but I can’t just see the bad things about him.”
“If you must criticize him, I can only say that Theo just doesn’t know his own heart and was being a fool. He divorced me and hurt me for another woman, and that was very cruel of him. Conversely, he also gave me a lot and didn’t mistreat me in any way aside from in our relationship. What’s more, after our divorce, he apologized to me and begged me, but I didn’t go back to him. This is enough–there’s no need for me to hate him to the core and act as if he killed my entire family, just because of our relationship problems. That’s too extreme!”

Yvonne clenched her fists. “That’s what you think, but not what Seb thinks! Do you know that my trother…”
Rosalie’s brows furrowed “What’s with your brother
Yvonne swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue. Even Sebastian didn’t tell Rosalie the truth it wasn’t appropriate for her to do so on his behalf.
in her anger, Yvonne ranted, “Seb became like this because of you! You’d better not let him know about this, or it’ll be entirely your fault if he has a meltdown!”
With that she turned and stormed off
Rosalie wanted to call her back, and even went after her. Recalling Theodore, who was still in the operating theater, she stopped in her tracks.
Yvonne was still at the peak of her anger, and they would only fight even if she managed to catch up to her. Rosalie would talk to Yvonne again after she calmed down.
Three hours later, the doctor came out of the operating theater. Bosalle approached the doctor, and asked, “Doctor, how is he?”
“The operation was a success. We’ve patched up the hole, but the patient won’t be able to drink alcohol for at least the next three years. Otherwise, it would cause severe damage to his stomach walls *
“How severe would it get?” Rosale asked further.
“if something like this happens again, he might find difficulty eating or drinking normally in the future. He will have to be on a liquid diet. He won’t be able to take solids for the rest of his life. He has to

protect his stomach for at least three years, and not touch alcohol. It would be best to avoid food with alcohol in it as well, including spicy food or food that can irritate the stomach,” the doctor explained.
Rosalie was a little worried. Can Theodore tolerate not drinking alcohol for three years?
Just then, Theodore was wheeled out on the bed. She hurriedly followed him.
By the time Theodore woke up, the sky was getting dark. Rosalie leaned back on the chair by the bedside, almost falling asleep.
Theodore opened his eyes. When he saw her nearby, the corners of his lips lifted in a smile. It was great to be able to see her the moment he opened his eyes.
Theodore stared at her, worried that she might disappear when he blinked.
He couldn’t bear to wake her up. He looked at her for a full ten minutes, and she slowly stirred awake.
Upon realizing that Theodore had woken up, Rosalie sat up straight.
“You’re awake. How do you feel?” she asked.
“Miss, have you been keeping me company all this while?”
“Very funny,” Rosalie said coldly. “Why else would I be here?”
Theodore smiled bitterly, yet there was happiness in it. “Thank you for not abandoning me.”

Rosalie sighed. “Just listen to yourself! Don’t say such things anymore. Oh, yes. Grandma called me, but I didn’t tell her about your operation. Don’t tell her that first. I’ll cover up for you about the wedding.”
“Thanks. I was too rash.”
After sobering up, Theodore realized how rash he had been at the wedding. However, he didn’t really regret what he did.
If he had another chance, he might do the same thing. People often did rash things, and life was bound to have its highs and lows, like the waves on an electrocardiogram of a living heart.
“You finally realized how rash you were,” Rosalie said coldly. “You completely threw caution to the wind when you were drunk.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
The guilty look on Theodore’s face and his apology made Rosalie’s heart soften, but only by a little. Reason told her she couldn’t soften her stance toward him.
“You’re always like this, apologizing after making a mistake.”
Theodore looked innocently at her. “Should I remain stubborn, then?”
Rosalie said helplessly, “Alright, let’s not argue over this now. Things got quite serious this time. The doctor said you can’t drink alcohol over the next three years, or your stomach will be in big trouble. You’ll never be able to take solid food.”
“Is that so?” Theodore smirked.
His indifferent expression infuriated Rosalie. “Theodore Spencer, you have an attitude problem right
now!”
Theodore looked at her. “What kind of attitude should I display right now? Should I be miserable and very guilty?”
“How could you not treasure your own health? Do you know how severe the situation is?” Rosalie said furiously.
“I do.”
“Then why did you still drink so much, despite knowing how bad it is for your stomach? You torture yourself over and over again! Did you forget that you were previously hospitalized? That was only a while ago! You’re only hurting yourself.”
“Then why are you so angry?” Theodore said angrily, “I’m hurting my own body. Since you don’t love me and don’t care about me, why are you still getting angry about it?”
“…”
“Don’t say that it’s because of Grandma. I don’t believe a word of that!”
Chapter 565
Rosalie suddenly stood up and glared at him. After a long time, she walked past the bed to the windows, and pulled open the curtains with a whoosh. She looked outside, then took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“So, you did it on purpose. You tortured yourself just to see me angry, because you think my heart will soften when you’re in pain. For all I know, you’re probably mocking me for being upset each time you end up like this. Is this what you’re thinking?”
“I’m not mocking you,” Theodore said in all seriousness. “Not at all.”
Rosalie turned away. “Even if you’re not mocking me, you’re humiliating me. Even if that’s not what you think, everything you’ve done feels humiliating to me.”
She clenched her fists.
“Since you enjoy disregarding your health like this, I have no choice. Your body is your own, and it’s your own problem if you don’t care about it. Seeing you like this only disappoints me further. As it turns out, you’re so weak and vulnerable.”
With that, Rosalie turned around and stormed to the door.
She didn’t want to care about Theodore anymore. She would leave him be, and it was up to him whether he wanted to live or die. It would be none of her business.

“Rose, don’t go!” Theodore yelled from behind her.
Rosalie ignored her, and continued to walk out cruelly
Suddenly, there was a bang from behind. Rosalie turned around, only to see Theodore rolling down the bed. The needle was jerked out of his arm, and blood dripped on the floor.
“Rose, don’t go! Don’t go!”
“Theo!” Rosalie rushed back to him, and knelt down to help him up. “Are you insane? What are you doing?”
“Rose, I was wrong!” Theodore grabbed her arm. “I was wrong! Please don’t go! Don’t go!”
Beep, beep.
The monitoring device started beeping; very soon, medical staff rushed in and lifted Theodore back on the bed.
Ten minutes later…
“Theodore Spencer, you’re a grown adult. Why are you behaving like a child who’s still not weaned yet?” Rosalie roared.
She was on the verge of imploding. Really, she wanted to punch him good!
Theodore leaned against the headboard, looking weak. He hung his head guiltily, and remained silent like a child who did something wrong.
Rosalie, feeling faint with anger, almost lost her balance. She had to sit on a chair.
“I don’t even know what to say to you right now,” she murmured.
“I’m sorry,” Theodore looked up guiltily. “I was wrong.”
“I don’t believe you. You’ve never truly acknowledged your mistake. You admit it verbally, but you’ve never changed. This is exactly your style. I find your behavior absolutely despicable. You’re torturing yourself just to make me angry!” she seethed.
“Rose, I…”
“Don’t bother explaining yourself!”
Rose cut him off.
“You disappeared at the wedding, and came back reeking of alcohol. You even did something so ridiculous! You were then sent to hospital, and ended up rolling off the bed. Even a three–year–old wouldn’t behave like this! I’m not your mother, and we’re already divorced. I’m not obliged to tolerate your nonsense again and again! Can you please don’t deliberately torture yourself just to torture me in
turn?”

Rosalie’s words were like sharp daggers piercing through Theodore’s heart.
“I admit that I don’t care about my gastric issues,” he said hoarsely, “because the moment I opened my eyes and saw you by my side, I felt so happy and have no regrets whatsoever.”
Panting slightly, he went on, “But… I really didn’t do it on purpose, or to make your heart ache for me. I was in so much misery, I didn’t know what to do. That’s why I resorted to drinking. If I hadn’t left and hadn’t gone drinking, I would have broken down there and then at the wedding. Alcohol was the only solution at that time, or I would have gone berserk–like a madman.
“Rose, what I said is true. I’m not lying to you. I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was wrong, and I’m trying my best to change. I know how much of a bastard I was in the past, and I’m really trying to be better.
“Although…although I still look very much like a bastard, I’m really trying very…very hard to win
back.”

Rosalie stared at him in silence for a long time before finally saying exasperatedly, “You should know that it’s pointless trying to win me back.”
“I know,” Theodore said, cutting her off. “I know you’ll never forgive me, and I don’t see any hope whatsoever. I don’t have any confidence in myself. Even though I thought I saw a glimmer of hope when you stood next to me today, you extinguished it ruthlessly.”

Theodore went on, “Rose, whether you choose to forgive me or not, I have to remain hopeful and gives it my best shot. Otherwise, I’ll die in misery. Perhaps Frnight give up eventually, but not now Freally can’t give up. If I do, I might not be able to survive *
heid,
Rosalie started tearing up. She couldn’t possibly feat nothing over what he id, given their decade long relationship. However, she couldn’t possibly turn around, throw herself into his embrace and forgive him just because of what he said, either.
She could neither be utterly heartless, nor forgive him completely.
“Theo, I don’t know what to say. Why make things difficult for yourself?”
“I don’t find it difficult at all. This is hope that keeps me alive. Rose, please don’t…don’t make me lose that bit of hope, won’t you?”
“But I have the right to ask you to stop pestering me
“Can you tell me if us attending the wedding that Grandma told us to is considered me pestering you?” Theodore asked.
Rosalie shook her head. “No.”
Theodore went on, “Rose, you’ll never cut ties with the Spencer family. I’m saying this not because I think you’re indebted to our family and that you should be repaying our kindness, but because you’re the best woman I’ve ever known.
“No matter how fiercely we fight with each other, you’ll never cut ties with the Spencer family. But if you don’t do that, we’ll continue seeing each other in all sorts of events, or even have to do things together, such as attending that wedding today.
“Rose, you said we can’t be friends, and you’re right. That’s because aside from love, we have kinship between us. We have that connection between us that will never be broken, even though we’re not technically related by blood. Yet, your relationship with the Spencers cannot be judged by the blood.
“You are family, and now I see clearly our relationship. We’re like family members with a deep grudge between us. Although you can’t forgive me and come back to me, you won’t ignore me if something bad happens to me. In turn, if something bad happens to you, I won’t stand idly by. That’s what family members do for each other–never abandoning each other, no matter how upset we are with each other.”
Family…
That word pierced Rosalie’s heart all the way through.
She wanted to refute Theodore’s claims, but she couldn’t find any reason to. What he said did seem to be the case. They were family, on top of their previous relationship as husband and wife.
Although they weren’t related by blood, not all families in this world were related by blood. Even people
*25 BONUS
Chapte: 567
who were related by blood could end up scheming against each other, and be heartless to one
another.
Conversely, some families may not be related by blood, but they do everything for each other and are genuine toward each other. That was far superior to some families related by blood.
Come to think of it, while her relationship with Theodore ended up in tatters, they did grow up together after all.
How many decades could one enjoy in a lifetime? Their youth was the most beautiful time of their lives.
Even though Theodore broke her heart and she found him to be a real bastard, it was strictly limited to their relationship.
Theodore wouldn’t really hurt her.
Although he had misunderstood her and even blamed her, he had paid the price for it, which came in
the form of her never trusting him and returning to him again. She even married another man, and he still remained clueless about her being pregnant with his child to this day.

Rosalie knew that if the day Theodore discovered she was pregnant with his child came, it would certainly be a huge shock to him–whether pleasant or unpleasant.
She just didn’t know in what way he would find out about it.
When she imagined the scenario where she would teum in person, she ended up in terrible pain.
Rosalie pulled the chair closer to the bed, and sat back down.
“Theo, to be honest, even though I don’t hate you, I do bear a grudge against you in the depths of my heart. You’re right–it’s a grudge family might bear against one another. I don’t know how long I’ll bear this grudge for, but I admit, you’re right. My relationship with the Spencers won’t be cut off just because of our failed relationship.”
Rosalie pulled out her phone from her pocket, navigated to her call blacklist, and removed Theodore’s
contact from it.
“I’ve removed your number from my call blacklist, not because I’ve let go of things, but because on second thought, I can’t cut ties with the Spencers. If anything happens to Grandma and you can’t contact me, that would be terrible. But this doesn’t mean that you-”
“I know,” Theodore said, happiness evident in his eyes. “It doesn’t mean I can call you as I please, or chat with you over text. I know. I won’t do that. I won’t bother you unless absolutely necessary.”
He was very glad to see his hard work had finally borne fruit. Even if it was something very insignificant, he was delighted about it.
Rosalie nodded before slipping her phone back into her pocket.
Good that he understood.
“Let me repeat to you what the doctor told me again. You can’t take alcohol for the next three years. If you drink yourself silly and end up damaging your stomach, you’ll never be able to take solid food for the rest of your life. You’ll have to be on a liquid diet forever. If you insist on drinking alcohol, I can’t stop you. I’m not your wife, and I can’t breathe down your neck every day. Your health is yours alone, you do as you please.”
“I won’t drink again,” Theodore said solemnly. “I promise you…”
”
He suddenly stopped. He wanted to make her a promise, but he suddenly found that thought laughable. How many promises had he made to her? And what had happened to them all eventually?
His promises were now meaningless.
Rósalie didn’t urge Theodore to complete his sentence. Instead, she looked at him for a long time before asking, “Why aren’t you talking?”
Theodore smiled bitterly. “I suddenly remembered that I have no right to make any promises to you, even though I really want to.”

Roeste returned to the hospital Sebastian was evard in
She called Sebastian before her return to ask if he had had dinner, Sebastian said that he had not, and
Fosshe bought dinner for herself and Sebastian.
When Rosalie came back, Sebastian was in an excellent mood
She felt much more relaxed with Sebastian compared to Theodore, and they enjoyed their dinner amidst laughter and good conversation.
Sebastian asked her about the wedding: Rosalie could only say that it wasn’t bad, as she was unable
to tell him the truth.
“Rose, when I’m fully recovered, I can accompany you to many places. You wouldn’t need to be alone.”
Rosalie nodded. “Then you should really get well soon.”
“I will! The doctor told me today that I’m recovering very well. I might even be able to get discharged early, depending on the situation.”
Rosalie smiled. “That’s good.”
“Oh yes, Rose,” Sebastian said as a thought suddenly came to mind. “I think I recalled some memories today.”
“Is that so?” Rosalie exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. “What did you recall?”
Sebastian said, “I vaguely remember you crying very sorrowfully in my arms, as if…as if I did something very bad. You told me not to go, and even said that I didn’t want you anymore, and that I lied to you.”
He furrowed his brows as he tried to recall his memories. “The image is very blurry, and the conversation is in bits and pieces, but I can sense you were in a lot of pain.”
Sebastian grabbed her hand. “Rose, what exactly happened? Did I break your heart in the past?”
Rosalie thought back on what Sebastian recounted, and remembered what it was all about. It was probably back when she was still married to Theodore and contracted a fever one night. She had been delirious, and mistook Sebastian for Theodore.
She was at Sebastian’s house, and he comforted her the entire night.
“What else?” Rosalie asked. “Aside from this, did you recall anything else?”
Sebastian thought hard for a moment before shaking his head. “Nothing else, but this memory made me very uneasy. What exactly did I do to make you so sad? Was I going to leave you? Did I do something wrong? Or did I do something unfaithful?”
Sebastian sounded anxious, like a deer caught in the headlights.
Rosalie hurriedly assured him, “Not at all, Seb. You didn’t do anything like that to me.”

“Then why did you cry so sadly and told me not to go, and even accused me of lying to you? That memory made me so uneasy. I must have done something, or you wouldn’t have cried so miserably. Rose, tell me the truth. Don’t be scared of hurting me. If I did something wrong, I’m willing to accept any punishment. You can’t just erase my mistakes just because I lost my memories. I will take responsibility for what I’ve done, and you can do anything you want to me.”
Despite losing his memories, Sebastian was still filled with such a strong sense of responsibility
toward her.
Sebastian gently held Rosalie’s arm, and said anxiously, “Tell me. It’s alright.”
“Hear me out first,” she said, patting his shoulders gently. “It’s not what you think. You haven’t been unfaithful to me. You have that memory because that night, I contracted a fever, had a nightmare, and was talking nonsense. You stayed by my side and comforted me the entire night. You even cooked for me, and took great care of me. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’ve always treated me well. Please don’t overthink.”

Since you can’t fulfill the promise, don’t make it in the first place,” she said bluntly. “What’s more, it’s meaningless for you to promise me something like this. It’s your own health, and you should be making promises to yourself. You’re still so young, and you have
your entire life ahead of you. This is
all I can say.”
Theodore nodded. “I understand.”
“Also, you can’t take spicy food and food that irritates your stomach. I don’t actually need to say that, since you don’t like spicy things anyway.”
“But Rose, you like eating spicy food.”
Rose furrowed her brows. “Yes, so what?”
“In the past, I thought you didn’t like spicy food, but then I realized you avoided it to accommodate my preferences.”
“Yes,” she said. “But that won’t happen again. I won’t force you to do anything, too.”
Rosalie glanced at the clock. “I’ve called for the butler to ask him to send someone here to take care of you. I won’t be staying.”
Theodore opened his mouth to say something, as if he was trying to make her stay. Instead, he nodded and said, “Alright. Remember to have some food. You probably didn’t eat lunch and dinner
yet.”
They attended the wedding this afternoon, but didn’t even have the opportunity to eat lunch before the incident occurred. And now, night had already fallen.
Rosalie looked rather tired.
“I know. Have some rest,” she said, turning to leave.
Theodore called her once more. “Rose.”
Rosalie turned around. “What’s the matter?”
“Will… Will you come see me again?” he asked. He suddenly felt a strong lack of confidence, and even
his tone became cautious,
Rosalie just gave him a vague answer. “I’ll think about it.”
“Have a good rest.” She repeated what she said earlier, and turned to leave the ward.
That seemed to be all that could happen between them.

Sebastian stared at Rosalie in disbelief. “Really? You’re not lying to me?”
“I’m not lying to you,” Rosalie reassured him. “Seb, trust me. It’s true. Otherwise, why would I continue staying by your side, right?”
“You….”
Rosalie’s words calmed Sebastian down. He nodded.
“That…. that makes sense. If I really did something wrong, you would have left me. But…but…”
Sebastian remained doubtful.
Rosalie asked, “But what?”
“There seems to be a man in between us, a man I really hate.”
Rosalie’s heart sank. Did Sebastian recall Theodore? She wondered if that was a good or bad thing at this point, given his condition.
“And then?” she pressed further.
Sebastian thought hard. “It feels strange, but you seem…you seem to like him.”
He pondered about it before looking up and staring at Rosalie. “What’s with that?”
Rosalie didn’t know how to explain things to Sebastian, given how complicated things were.
“Seb, did you remember wrongly? I don’t like anyone else right now.”
She didn’t like anyone romantically right now. Strictly speaking, she wasn’t exactly lying.
Sebastian grabbed her wrist. “Rose, I’m not saying that you betrayed me. What I want to say is…that feeling is very strange. I can sense that you like someone, but you didn’t actually betray me, as if…as if I’m the third party. What exactly is the truth? Did I come in between your relationship?”
Rosalie shook her head.
“Seb, you didn’t. I promise you, you didn’t come in between me and someone else. Don’t worry. You have that strange feeling probably because you forgot everything, and can only remember fragments of your memories. They aren’t enough to form a complete and logical timeline. Of course it feels strange if you have to piece incomplete fragments of your memories together. Things will become clearer once you regain all your memories.”
“In that case, tell me, won’t you? Tell me about everything in detail, no matter what it is, alright?” Sebastian pleaded.
He really wanted to know very badly. He had this nagging feeling that his relationship with Rosalie was somewhat strange. They were husband and wife, but he always sensed she was avoiding him, and was unwilling to be intimate with him.

Although he wasn’t in a good state to be intimate with her, hugging and kissing shouldn’t be an issue. Despite that, she continued avoiding his touch.
“Seb, I’ll try my best to tell you everything. The problem right now is, you aren’t fully recovered yet. To be honest, there are both good and bad things that happened in the past. I just want to tell about
you the good things right now. As for those bad things, I’ll tell you when you’re fully recovered,” Rosalie said patiently.
“How bad are they?” Sebastian asked anxiously. “Are they very terrible? Did something terrible happen between us?”
“That’s not what I meant, Seb. Hear me out! Life can’t possibly be perfect, and there will certainly be imperfections. Yet, these imperfections won’t affect our relationship. That’s why there’s no need to tell you about them. You can’t receive too much information at this point, given the state of your mind right now. Trust me, alright? I’ll tell you everything after you make a full recovery, and you’ll accept everything gladly. I trust you will one day remember everything,” Rosalie assured.
