Forbidden Passion

Chapter 600 Theodore Cares about Me the Most

After Phoebe got outta the ICU, she overheard a nurse talking about Vanessa. Apparently, Vanessa got stabbed in the gut, lost a ton of blood, but she was gonna be fine. Phoebe figured Vanessa wouldn't pass up a chance to make a scene. Surprisingly, Vanessa had kept it cool, waiting till today to face her.

"Phoebe, you're up. Where's Theodore? Not by your side?" Madison sneered.

Phoebe just ignored her. After facing death, she couldn't care less about petty stuff like this. She could handle Madison's snark.

Madison got ticked off seeing Phoebe staring out the window, acting like she didn't even exist.

Just as Madison was about to throw another jab, Vanessa grabbed her wrist, shook her head, and said, "Madison, my legs are freezing. Can you grab me a blanket from the ward?" Clearly, she was just trying to get rid of her.

Madison shot Phoebe a dirty look and said, "Fine, Vanessa, but watch yourself."

Vanessa patted her hand and let go.

Madison left, and the room went dead quiet.

Vanessa rolled her wheelchair closer to the bed and sighed, "How did we both end up getting kidnapped?"

Phoebe caught a weird hint of joy in Vanessa's voice, not fear.

"Honestly, I never thought Theodore would save me first. When the kidnappers asked for five billion bucks each, I figured he'd save you first, given your four years of marriage," Vanessa said. Phoebe didn't even flinch.
