Forbidden Passion

Chapter 564 Sooner or Later, I Will Take Her Back

The ward went dead quiet for a sec, and nobody wanted to break the silence. Phoebe plopped down at the table and popped the lid off her food.

The room was warm, so the food was still kinda hot, but it had been sitting around so long it looked pretty unappetizing. Phoebe took a couple bites, wincing as the soup stung her chapped lips, making her eyes twitch in pain. Edward got up and strolled over, sitting down across from her. He glanced at the food in Phoebe's bowl and frowned, "This stuff's gross now. Let's go grab something to eat."

Phoebe shook her head, "Nah, it's cool. I'll just deal with it."

Before she could finish, the door to the ward swung open. Theodore's tall frame filled the doorway, holding a fancy lunchbox.

Theodore walked in, set the lunchbox on the table, and opened it up. He pulled out some porridge and dishes, which was clearly Riley's handiwork.

"Eat this," Theodore said, serving up a bowl and placing it in front of Phoebe. He reached to take away her food, but Phoebe grabbed his hand. She didn't look at Theodore, her gaze stubborn, "I like this."

Theodore's face tightened. He stared down at Phoebe and said, "It's cold. It'll mess up your stomach."

"I like it," Phoebe insisted.

Edward sensed the tension between Phoebe and Theodore. He glanced nonchalantly at Theodore, "If Phoebe likes it, let her eat it."

Theodore's gaze turned icy as he looked at Edward, feeling that Edward's demeanor was just a front.

Theodore didn't get why Edward, who hadn't been around Phoebe for ages, was suddenly popping up all the time.
