Wife

Chapter 244 

With a sudden move, Theodore grabbed her wrist. “Don’t go.” 

For some reason, he suddenly felt incredibly insecure and desperately wanted her to stay. Despite his usual stubbornness, at this moment, he seemed as helpless as a child. 

Pain could drive people mad, and it could also make them vulnerable.” Sometimes, the pain in the heart was worse than any physical wound. 

Rosalie looked down at his hand, which was trembling even as it held her wrist. He was clearly in a lot of pain; there was no way he could fake this. His face was pale, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead. 

“I’ll take you to the hospital now,” she said gently. “I’ll drive you there, okay?” 

Her voice was soothing, as if she were comforting him. 

“I don’t want to go to the hospital,” Theodore said, looking up at her, with dark, bottomless eves. “The doctor prescribed this medicine. be fine in a few days. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”

Rosalie sat on the edge of the bed. “Then lie down and don’t move around, or you’ll make your injuries worse.” 

“Are you still leaving?” he asked, a hint of desperation in his eyes. 

She looked at him, her heart softening. Seeing his injuries, she couldn’t stay angry with him. She shook her head. 

“I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you, as long as you behave and stop being so petty.” 

Even if she stayed, it was on the condition that he wouldn’t mistreat her.

Theodore’s lips twitched into a small smile, as if she had amused him. “Am I really that petty?” 

It was the first time someone had described him as that. 

“Yes, you are. You keep bringing up Sebastian.” 

“But you two are very close,” he said stubbornly. 

“I told you, we’re just friends. It’s not what you think. Why do you…“, She trailed off, sighing. “Forget it, I don’t want to talk about this. It’ll just lead to another argument.” 

“Alright, let’s drop it,” Theodore agreed, cutting off the topic. If they continued, she might leave again. 

“Aren’t you supposed to wrap my wounds?” Theodore directed her attention. “The gauze is in that box.) 

Rosalie took the gauze from the box, and sat behind him. “Don’t move. I’ll wrap it for you. If it hurts, tell me, and I’ll be more gentle.” 

Theodore obediently murmured, “Okay.”  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Rosalie unrolled the gauze, neared his chest, and wrapped the gauze gently around his torso. The soft fabric wound around his body slowly, touching his skin. His body suddenly tensed. 

She immediately stopped, worried. “What’s wrong? Does it hurt?” 

Theodore responded with a soft “Yes.” 

She said gently, “I’ll be more gentle.” 

She had already been very careful. Hearing Theodore’s pain, she lightened her touch even more, as if her hands were barely there. 

Halfway through, Theodore’s body tensed again, and he let out a muffled groan.

Rosalie stopped again. “Did I touch a sore spot?” 

Theodore nodded, looking a bit frustrated. “It hurts.” 

Rosalie was getting nervous. She hadn’t even realized she touched him there. She became even more cautious, wrapping the gauze with utmost care. But soon, Theodore groaned again. 

This time, Rosalie couldn’t help but frown. “I’ve been extremely careful. Why does it still hurt?” 

Theodore turned his head, looking innocently at her. “Didn’t you say to 

tell you if it hurts? I’m telling you, and now you’re annoyed. What do you want me to do?”
