Chapter 58
Theodore’s eyes were filled with hostility. Sebastian didn’t back down either, staring back with an equally intense gaze that even held a hint of disdain.
Sensing the tension between the two men, Rosalie hastily asked, ” Theo, why are you here?”
Theodore turned to look at his wife. “I went to your room to see you, but you weren’t there. The servant said you had gone out, and you kept rejecting my calls. Your friend lied to me and said you were at her place. Why would you do that?”
Theodore had been really frantic at that moment, afraid that something had happened to her.
“How did you know I was here, then?”
“I heard a doctor talking about a blood transfusion on the phone, so I guessed you were in the hospital. You once mentioned that you often visited Delta Hospital, so I figured you might be here.
“Even if you don’t want to see me, you can’t risk your own life. What if something had happened to you on the way here?”
Rosalie could clearly see the concern in her husband’s eyes. Though she had initially been angry with him, she couldn’t help but soften a little now. But as soon as she remembered their broken relationship, that tiny bit of softness quickly vanished.
“My stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t want to tell you because I was angry with you. So, I just came out on my own and called Steph.”
Even after hearing Rosalie’s explanation, Theodore’s anger didn’t

subside.
“What about Sebastian, then? You just said he’s also your friend. Did you call him too?”
“…”
Explaining Sebastian’s involvement was complicated. After hesitating. for a moment, Rosalie decided that she might as well be honest with Theodore.
“I owe Sebastian a favor. He saved me once before, so I promised to treat him to a meal. He called while I was on the way to the hospital, wanting to set a date for the meal.
“When he found out I was in trouble, he rushed over to help me. He did everything you should have done. You shouldn’t talk about him like that. He’s not a bad person!”
There was still a hint of blame towards Theodore in Rosalie’s eyes. Every time this man met Sebastian, he was full of hostility, leaving her awkwardly caught in the middle.
“But you didn’t tell me either.” Theodore frowned as he suppressed his anger. “If you had told me, would all of this have happened?!”
Theodore picked up the fruit basket from the bedside table. It was obvious he was jealous.
“He even fed you fruit. Was that really necessary?”
“What about you and Cynthia? You personally accompanied her to the hospital and took care of her. You can proudly demand a divorce to marry her, yet you’re here blaming me. Why can’t I eat fruit fed to me by another man? Theodore, you can’t be so hypocritical!”
This woman was actually accusing him of hypocrisy?! It was
different! Sebastian was not the same as Cynthia.
Theodore didn’t think he was being hypocritical, but couldn’t find a reason to refute her. So, he could only swallow his anger.
“Okay, yes, we’re getting a divorce, but we’ve known each other for ten years. We’ve treated each other like siblings, and there’s still some affection between us. With that said, shouldn’t I be a little cautious that a strange man appeared by your side?” he said.
Rosalie didn’t know what to say. This man always had a bunch of reasons that left her speechless, and if she said too much, they’d just end up arguing again.
“Theo, whether you believe it or not, Sebastian and I are just friends, nothing more. He’s a decent man, so stop thinking such nonsense
about him.”
“So, you’re saying my thoughts are nonsensical?!”
Rosalie clenched the blanket in frustration. “Theodore, why do your always have to argue with me? I clearly didn’t mean that. Are you trying to provoke me?”
