Forbidden Passion

Chapter 347 Whoever Makes a Fool of Himself Again Is an Idiot

Vanessa turned to see Lawton looking uneasy. She asked softly, "Lawton, what's up?"

Lawton chuckled nervously. "Nothing, Miss Fitzroy. I got some breakfast. You should eat. Mr. Reynolds can't eat right now."

Vanessa shook her head. "I'm not hungry. I want to stay with Theodore."

Lawton glanced at the hospital bed. Theodore was awake but seemed out of it.

Lawton set the breakfast on the table. "Miss Fitzroy, you just got off the plane and need to adjust to the time difference. I booked a room for you. Rest a bit. Come back when he's fully awake." "No," Vanessa said firmly. "I want to stay here. He doesn't want me to leave."

Hearing 'leave,' Theodore tightened his grip on Vanessa's hand and said anxiously, "Don't go..."

Vanessa's eyes softened. "Okay, I won't go. I'm here with you."

Lawton glanced at Theodore again and sighed inwardly, 'Mr. Reynolds, I've done my best. Don't blame me later.'

Vanessa pressed her face against Theodore's palm. "Theodore, sleep for a while. The doctor said you need rest."

Theodore, exhausted, relaxed, and drifted off at the word 'sleep.'

He occasionally woke up briefly but quickly fell back into unconsciousness, losing track of time and space.

In his sleep, Theodore often chased a certain scent in his dreams. It wasn't a strong floral fragrance but a faint milky aroma, like milk candy.

But soon, the milky scent was overwhelmed by a strong floral fragrance. Theodore desperately tried to find that milky scent again but couldn't. About three days later, Theodore began to sense his surroundings vaguely. He remembered being in a serious car accident that nearly killed him.
