Forbidden Passion

Chapter 408 Let Her Taste the Pain of Heartache

Phoebe stared at him, feeling like Theodore's words were a warning. "Is something wrong?"

"It's fine. Nothing's gonna happen to you," Theodore said.

He gripped her hand tightly, knowing that by giving Queen Entertainment to Vanessa, he had lost Phoebe.

He wished this day would never come.

Phoebe felt Theodore's pulse through their intertwined hands. She looked into his eyes, seeing sadness despite his reassurances.

Had Vanessa's erratic behavior finally affected Theodore?

Phoebe looked down at their hands and squeezed his. If this was the only time she could hold him without reservations, she would cherish it. Upstairs in the hospital, after Theodore left, Vanessa went berserk, smashing everything.

'Phoebe, Phoebe!' Vanessa screamed in her mind, her jealousy burning.

'Why did I fail, even after giving up everything, including my legs? Did I underestimate Phoebe's charm or Theodore's persistence?' Vanessa wondered. Ruby walked in, almost tripping over a pillow. She steadied herself, picked it up, and saw the mess.

Vanessa lay on the bed, her leg in a new cast and suspended. Despite this, she was still restless, taking her anger out on the pillow.

Ruby placed the thermos she brought on the bedside table. "Vanessa, why is your leg suspended again? Weren't you starting rehab?"
