Chapter 97

Theodore didn't get a wink of sleep all night. He stayed by Rosalie's side, checking on her whenever she made a sound, making sure she wasn't uncomfortable and giving her water if she needed it.

As dawn broke, Theodore raised his hand to Rosalie's forehead to check her temperature yet again. Seeing that her fever had finally gone down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Exhausted, Theodore sat up and pinched the bridge of his nose. As he walked drowsily to the bathroom, he accidentally kicked the trash can, startling himself. He was afraid that the sound would wake Rosalie but thankfully, she was still sound asleep.

When he bent down to push the trash can back into place, he noticed two pills in it, puzzling him. Didn't Rose say she had taken the medicine? Then, why were the pills in the trash? Why would she lie to him? It was just two pills, so why wouldn't she take them? She wasn't the type to refuse medicine..
