Chapter 62

When Theodore arrived at Cynthia's place, she was lying in bed. Concerned, he immediately sat by her bedside.

"How are you feeling?"

Cynthia looked pale and was clearly very ill, even trembling when she breathed.

"Theo, you're here. I told them not to call you. I know you're busy. What's wrong with them?"

A furious Cynthia tried to get out of bed.

"Don't move." Theodore immediately pressed Cynthia back onto the bed. "They were right to call me. How did you get this sick?"

Cynthia coughed a few times as she shook her head. "It's all my fault. My body is too weak. I really hate myself. I might as well just die and end this suffering." "Stop that nonsense."

Theodore frowned, his eyes filled with worry. He took a towel that a servant had brought and placed it on Cynthia's forehead, patting it gently.

"Don't worry, you'll get better soon."

"What's the point of getting better? I'll just keep getting sick. Theo, I don't know how much longer I can endure this," Cynthia said as she tightly held his hand. "Maybe it's better to let me go." "Don't say such things, or I'll get angry," said Theodore. He sounded stern, but his tone still carried indulgence and tenderness.
