Forbidden Passion

Chapter 480 Two Prescriptions

Ruby barged into the office, spotting Vanessa leaning on the desk with a face like thunder, everything on the desk now scattered on the floor. 'Wow, she's really got a knack for desk cleaning,' Ruby thought, but kept her face straight.

"Vanessa, what's got you all riled up again? Doc said you need to chill, remember?" she asked with concern.

"Chill? Did you see Phoebe's smug mug? She thinks she's already won!" Vanessa's face was twisted with anger.

Last night, Vanessa got a heads-up from Madison that Taylor was throwing a Christmas party to introduce Phoebe as Theodore's wife to everyone.

Vanessa fumed as she thought, 'Why? Phoebe's just a side chick. What right does she have to stand next to Theodore and get everyone's blessings?'

Ruby felt a knot in her stomach seeing Vanessa's expression. "Vanessa, no matter what she thinks, your health is more important. Your leg is more important." They had a follow-up at the hospital today. Vanessa's leg had been healing well, and the doc said with proper rehab, she might fully recover.

Vanessa blurted out, "I'm about to lose Theodore. Why would I care about my leg? If I could keep him, I'd be willing to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life." Ruby was speechless.

She had seriously underestimated Vanessa's obsession with love. Vanessa never considered whether Theodore would want a wife in a wheelchair, even if she was willing to be in one forever. However, Ruby didn't dare say that, fearing Vanessa would lose it.

"So what's the plan now? Crash the party?" Ruby asked.

Vanessa pinched the bridge of her nose. "Let me think. I'll come up with something genius."

Ruby stared blankly at Vanessa. She used to think Vanessa was a shining star, destined to shine wherever she went.
