Rosalie was frustrated.
Theodore lowered his eyes, looking somewhat dejected. "Fine, go on. I'm listening."
He wanted to hear what she had to say. This man clearly had ill intentions.
"He asked me to stay with him for a week, but it was just to cook for him and clean up. Nothing else. He didn't harm me. He was just lonely and wanted someone to keep him company."This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Rosalie turned to look at Justin through the glass and spoke softly. "He had a sister, but she died. That's why he treated me like a sister. It's not like you think."
Upon hearing Rosalie's explanation, Theodore still felt that this man wasn't a good person, but hearing that he hadn't hurt Rosalie, he let out a sigh of relief.
"What are you going to do once he wakes up?" Theodore asked.
"Of course, I'll take care of him and help him get better. After all, he saved my life. I owe it to him."
"He saved your life, so you're worried about him. What about me, Rosalie?" Theodore grasped her arm and couldn't help but say, "When you were kidnapped, I risked my life to save you, but you chose Sebastian. I almost died back then! Why didn't you protect me like you're protecting Vincent?" "Did you give me that chance?" Rosalie retorted. "I admit that I chose Sebastian back then, but I had no choice. I had to pick someone, or you both would have died. I've said it countless times—no matter who I chose, I would be in pain.
"If I could, I would have chosen to die myself, but the kidnappers wouldn't let me! I admit I hurt you, but after that, I came to find you. I searched for you desperately, but no matter what, you refused to see me. Eventually, I found out your whereabouts through your mother, and I went to the hospital to look for you. I spoke to you through the door for a long time, but you weren't there. Theo, I wanted to talk to you so many times to clear up the misunderstanding, but you never gave me a chance!"
Theodore was stunned. "What are you saying? You went to the hospital to look for me? What did you say to me?"
Had Rosalie come to find him the day he went to Caleb's place?
Theodore remembered waiting for a long time that day, but she never showed up. He thought she wouldn't come, so he gave up.
Rosalie thought about all the things she said to him back then, and how it was all in vain. If Theodore had heard her, would things have been different between them?
But there were no 'what ifs' in this world. What happened had already happened. It was too late to talk about it now.
"Anyway, it was some words of apology. I thought you heard them, but later, I found out you weren't there. Looks like everything I said was for nothing."
"Rose," Theodore said, his voice trembling with emotion, "then repeat those words to me. What did you say back then? Please, tell me again." Why did he always miss his chance with Rosalie? Why did fate play such a cruel joke on him?

Theodore didn't understand what wrong he had done in his past life, that in this life, fate had to toy with him like this. Time and again he missed his beloved woman.
"What does it matter if I say it again?" Rosalie sighed helplessly. "Theo, things have already turned out like this. We've missed so much. After all this time, when we meet again you bring another woman with you, and she's carrying your child. What more is there for me to say?"
They had missed each other so many times. If Theodore had
answered her calls or replied to her messages, it could have made a difference despite how smalDthese gestures were.
However, he didn't.
What they missed wasn't just the time when she went to find him.
