"At the very least," Aurora said through gritted teeth, "I won't kill myself. I'm not depraved, I just care too much about you. How can trying to save someone else be an act of depravity?"

"You're right," Theodore said sarcastically. "I was wrong. You're not depraved. You're being cheap."

Aurora looked as though she was struck by lightning. "What...what did you say?"

He deliberately insulted her in an attempt to wake her up from her dream and tell her clearly that he would never fall for her.

Theodore never intended to toy with her feelings.

Aurora couldn't stop the tears from falling. "You're right, I am cheap! I..."

Excruciating pain spread from her chest; the next moment, she started getting breathless. She clutched her chest and took in many deep breaths as her body started crumpling to the floor.

Shock registered on Theodore's face. He dragged his weak body out of the bed, and helped her up. He turned around and shouted, "Doctor!"
