Forbidden Passion

Chapter 592 I Already Regret It

Phoebe in his arms felt like a feather. Her chest barely moved, her breathing so shallow it seemed like she could slip away any second. Theodore's eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down his face. He'd never felt so damn grateful.

Phoebe was still alive!

He shrugged off his coat and wrapped it around her, lifting her up like she was made of glass. He was terrified any little jolt would hurt her. He handled her like she was the most precious thing he'd ever held. "I'm sorry. From now on, I'll protect you. I won't let anything like this happen to you again," he vowed.

When Lawton and the others saw Theodore carrying Phoebe out, they all stepped aside. Seeing her pale face and blood-crusted feet, they turned away, unable to stomach it.

The ambulance was waiting downstairs. Theodore carried Phoebe inside, and the doctor immediately got to work. When she pulled back the coat and saw the whip marks all over Phoebe's body, she gasped. In all her years, she'd never seen a domestic violence victim beaten so badly. Those whip marks had nearly killed Phoebe.

She couldn't help but glare at Theodore, who sat silently beside her. How could this piece of trash who abused his wife sit there so calmly?

Theodore caught her look and shot back coldly, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and treat her wounds."

The doctor had never seen such a brazen abuser. She wanted to call the cops on him right then and there.

She turned her focus back to Phoebe. The blood had dried, and her high-quality shirt was stuck to her wounds. The edges of the wounds were turning white, showing signs of infection.

She needed to separate the fabric from the flesh quickly, or it would grow into the wound, making the infection worse.
