Forbidden Passion

Chapter 415 You Cannot Be Defeated

Phoebe didn't sleep all night. She quickly came up with a plan and texted John.

Phoebe: [John, bring the contracts for Noah, Claire, and Evan, and our legal advisor Lloyd Cooper. Meet me at the café near Horizon Wellness Hospital early tomorrow morning.] After sending the message, Phoebe stayed awake until dawn.

As the sun rose, Phoebe felt a bit renewed despite her pale skin and bloodshot eyes.

She walked into the bathroom, splashed water on her face, and tied her hair up, revealing her slender neck.

Staring at herself in the mirror, water droplets sliding down her face, she muttered, "I can't give in. A man can be destroyed but not defeated!"

Phoebe kept repeating to herself that she couldn't be defeated.

She quickly applied makeup, enhancing her eyebrows, high nose bridge, and full lips. The haggard looks disappeared.

Just as she walked out of the bathroom, the hospital room door opened.

Phoebe looked up and saw Theodore standing there. She paused, then walked straight to the bedside without acknowledging him.

She calmly put her makeup back in her bag. "Since you're here, I'll head out."

With that, she brushed past him.

Theodore was momentarily stunned by her beauty. Just as she was about to pass him, he grabbed her wrist.

Phoebe reacted even faster, slapping his hand away. "Mr. Reynolds, please behave yourself!"
