Forbidden Passion

Chapter 406 My Heart Already Belongs to Someone

Phoebe was unsure. Did Vanessa really get hurt that badly?

If Vanessa ended up in a wheelchair for life, Theodore would feel super guilty.

Phoebe bit her lip. She had underestimated Vanessa. How could she be so reckless?

Theodore clearly didn't want to talk about Vanessa. He said, "Phoebe, I need some quiet. I don't want to discuss her."

All day, his heart felt like it was frying in oil. It finally calmed down when he leaned against Phoebe.

Phoebe stayed silent, looking at Theodore. The hallway light was bright, casting a cold glow on his tired face.

Theodore's most cherished, Taylor, was in the ICU, and Vanessa might be permanently disabled.

And it was because of Theodore. He must feel so guilty and hurt.

Phoebe forced a smile. Vanessa's constant self-harm had finally gotten to Theodore.

If Vanessa became disabled, Theodore wouldn't ignore her.

But what about Phoebe?

Her hand itched to move. Even though Theodore's heart wasn't with her, she wanted to hug him, especially when he was in such pain.

Phoebe's fingers curled and then stretched. She slowly raised her hand. Just as she was about to touch Theodore's shoulder, he suddenly sat up. "Five minutes are up. I'm going to check on Vanessa." He stood up, not noticing Phoebe's hand quickly hiding.

Phoebe was stunned, her heart racing. She didn't hear what he said; she just nodded. "Okay!"
