Chapter 1448

Even though Theodore didn't say it outright, Rosalie had already guessed.

"Did you get these injuries while saving me? And the one on your shoulder... It's a gunshot wound, isn't it?"

Theodore remained silent, which was as good as confirmation.

Rosalie was overcome with guilt. She hadn't even noticed that he was injured, and even after he had returned, she remained completely unaware for so long. No wonder she had thought he looked unwell. She had assumed it was due to lack of sleep, but in reality, he had been wounded.

The thought of him enduring such pain, carrying his injuries while still staying by her side and losing sleep over it, made her heart ache.

She bit her lip and continued, "Then what about the rest of these wounds? Tell me the truth."

Her fingers brushed over the scars on his chest.

"Rose, I'm really fine, I—"

"Theodore." She cut him off. "If you don't tell me, I won't talk to you anymore."

"...Before I went to rescue you, I underwent intense training. These injuries are from that. But they're just surface wounds, nothing serious. You don't have to worry. They'll heal."

Rosalie could no longer hold back her tears. They streamed down her face as she cried, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
