Forbidden Passion

Chapter 434 Isn't He Still Alive?

The nurse brought in the porridge quickly. Theodore opened the lid, and the aroma filled the room. He served a bowl and walked over to Phoebe, who was standing by the window. "Give it a try," Theodore suggested.

He made the porridge at Emerald Oasis Eatery but didn't tell Phoebe. She probably wouldn't appreciate it and might even throw it back at him. Phoebe was starving, especially after all the physical stuff she did earlier.

"Take it away. I don't want it!" she snapped.

Ignoring her, Theodore stirred the porridge, cooled it down, and handed it to her. "Do you want me to feed you, or will you eat it yourself?" he asked. Phoebe clenched her fists.

"Why are you pretending to be a good husband? Save it for Vanessa," she mocked.

Theodore's fingers stiffened, but he kept his cool. "The porridge has supplements; it's good for you," he said.

Phoebe snatched the bowl from him. "I'll eat it myself. Can you leave now?" she shouted.

Theodore pressed his lips together, looked at her sadly, and said, "Alright, take your time. I'll be right outside. Call me when you're done." He turned and left the room.

The door wasn't fully closed, and Phoebe saw Theodore leaning against the wall, looking hurt. She hardened her heart and looked away. Downstairs, Vanessa woke up slowly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she screamed, "Phoebe, don't let go! I don't want to die!"

Doctors and nurses rushed to her bed, looking astonished.

Vanessa sat up, her beautiful face twisted with fear, making her look terrifying.

Ruby came over, holding her trembling shoulders. "Vanessa, it's okay. Don't be afraid. We're fine now," she comforted.

The fear in Vanessa's eyes slowly faded. She realized she was in a hospital room and took a deep breath, as if escaping a nightmare.

Seeing Vanessa calm down, Ruby told the doctors and nurses, "Vanessa needs to rest now. I'll call you if anything comes up."
