Chapter 201
Yvonne brought Rosalie outside for some fresh air. After some walking, they sat on a bench.
“Rose, I heard Sebastian say that you’re married?”
Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“You’re pregnant, too.”
“Yes, that too.”
Out of curiosity, Yvonne asked, “Who’s your husband?”
The mention of her husband gave Rosalie a dull pain in her chest.
“What’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?” Yvonne asked.
Yvonne noticed how frail Rosalie looked, and hoped she wouldn’t faint before her. She would be in trouble when her brother woke up
and found out what happened.
“I… I’m a little tired. I want to go back to my room and rest.”
“All right, then.”
Yvonne suddenly found Rosalie rather dull and boring. It seemed Sebastian fancied dull and boring women.
On the way back, Yvonne held Rosalie’s arm as she said, “You haven’t told me who your husband is
You already have a baby with him. Why
wouldn’t you tell me who he is?”
“He’s just an ordinary man. There’s nothing interesting about him.”
“Oh, is that so?” Yvonne said, not doubting her words.
One thing was for sure. The enthusiasm her brother exuded for
Rosalie hinted that they were more than just friends.
“Does Sebastian know your husband?”
“They don’t know each other very well,” Rosalie replied.
They merely fought with each other.
“Oh, I see. All right, then.” Yvonne didn’t pursue the matter further.
After the two of them went back, Rosalie returned to her room alone to get some rest. She was still feeling slightly dizzy from the fever last night.
Yvonne found staying home boring and stuffy, and headed out for some fun.
In the hospital, Cynthia had regained consciousness. However, she still felt very weak. However, she was thankful to find Theodore right. by her side the moment she opened her eyes.
*Theo.*
“Cindy, you’re awake.”
“Theo, I can’t believe I’m still alive. This is great. I thought I was dead.”
“You won’t die. I’ll find you a suitable heart donor, no matter what it
takes.”
“What did you say?” Cynthia was stunned to hear him mention heart donor. “Why are you looking for a heart donor for me? Am I…?”
Theodore sighed, and held her hand. “The doctor said you need at heart transplant. I’ll do everything I can to find a suitable heart donor as soon as possible.”
Cynthia remained silent for a long while as tears streamed down her face.

“Theo, why do I have such a painful life? Having gone through a lung transplantation surgery, do I now have to do a heart transplant
surgery too? What should I do?” she sobbed.
“Don’t cry. You can’t cry now.”
Theodore began regretting telling Cynthia about it. However, it concerned her own body. She had the right to know about it.
“Don’t worry. No matter how much it costs, I’ll find a heart donor for you. You’ll be fine.”
Cynthia shut her eyes in agony. “But what if…you can’t find one? I don’t have much longer to live, do I?”
“No, we’ll definitely find one,” Theodore said firmly.
“Theo, do you still remember? You told me that if I survived the operation, you’d marry me. I did survive the operation, but my heart is failing. Will you still marry me?”
Theodore looked at her, so stunned that he was silenced for a long time.
“Theo…” Cynthia said as she grabbed his hand in agitation. “Are you going back on your word? In that case, don’t bother finding me a heart donor. Just let me die!”
In this world, Theodore was her only lifeline. If she couldn’t cling to him, she would rather die. She was bent on marrying him, even at the expense of her own life.
