Forbidden Passion

Chapter 606 What I Give You, You Must Accept

Theodore's face softened up, and he started being all gentle. As he dabbed ointment on Phoebe's wounds, he blew on them, trying to ease her pain. After patching up her back, he just sat there by the bed, staring at her sleeping face like it was the only thing keeping him sane.

After a bit, he whispered, almost begging.

"Phoebe, don't take back the love you gave me. We've got a whole lifetime ahead. I can spend forever making it up to you. Just don't leave me." This was the only time he let his guard down, showing all his hurt. He held her hand and buried his face in her palm.

Soon enough, her palm was soaked with his tears.

"I'm sorry," he kept saying.

Phoebe was out cold, sometimes letting out a little sob, totally unaware of Theodore's guilt trip.

Meanwhile, Taylor was in the car, watching the scenery blur by. Her reflection in the window showed just how troubled she was.

Phoebe not being able to have kids was a shocker, and with everything Phoebe had told her, it was clear she had a deep grudge against Theodore.

From Phoebe's side, it made sense. That day, Theodore chose to save Vanessa first, leaving Phoebe behind to suffer, waiting for help while seriously hurt. Phoebe didn't know if she'd make it until help came. Her future looked bleak, and fear was eating away at her.

If it were her, Taylor wouldn't forgive easily either. After all, in the face of life and death, it was clear whether one was important or not.
