Forbidden Passion

Chapter 472 Madison Panicked

Theodore's face tightened, his eyes cold as ice as he stared her down. "Do you mean this has something to do with Madison, Phoebe? Without proof, you can't just throw around accusations." Phoebe looked up at him, feeling the weight of his protectiveness towards Madison. It stung, but she understood.

Theodore wouldn't back her up without a solid reason.

"Yeah, no evidence." Phoebe dropped her gaze. "I'm beat. Let's head back."

She turned and started towards the hospital exit, but barely took two steps before a strong hand grabbed her wrist.

Theodore yanked her back, frowning. "Phoebe, you're pissed."

"I'm not," she said, her voice flat.

Next thing she knew, his fingers were on her chin, forcing her to look up. Theodore's eyes bore into hers. "You're upset. Why?"

Phoebe bit her lip. "I'm not upset. Just tired. Wanna go home and crash."

Theodore stared at her for a long moment, then pulled her into his arms. "Alright, let's go home."

Phoebe shut her eyes, exhausted, and left the hospital with Theodore.

Back at the Imperial Apartment, Ollie caught a whiff of blood on Phoebe and bolted to the top of the cat tree, glaring down at her.

Phoebe headed to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes. When she came out, Theodore was waiting at the door with a cup of hot milk. "Drink this and get some rest," he said.

Phoebe took the cup and drank silently. Theodore took the empty cup, set it aside, and led her to the bed.
