Forbidden Passion

Chapter 609 You Are My Life

Theodore was chillin' by the bed, just staring at Phoebe. He knew she wasn't really asleep, but he kept his distance, not wanting to pass his cold to her. "Riley said you ain't eating," Theodore said. "What do you want? I'll whip it up for you."

Phoebe stayed quiet.

Theodore let out a soft sigh, "You can be mad at me all you want, but don't mess with your health. You're the one who's gonna suffer."

Phoebe rolled over, showing him her back.

"Phoebe, if you think starving yourself is gonna make me divorce you, think again. You know how stubborn I am. Not eating is only gonna hurt you." Theodore stared at her back for a while, then coughed and left the room. Once the door shut, Theodore leaned against the wall, coughing like crazy, tasting blood in his throat.

His words were tough, but inside, he was hurting bad.

Had he really pushed Phoebe this far? She was willing to do anything to get away from him. If he didn't let go, what would she do next?

Using the wall for support, Theodore made his way downstairs.

In the kitchen, he put on a mask and started cooking.

After finishing it, he went back to the bedroom, set the tray on the nightstand, and half-knelt on the bed to look at her. "Phoebe, I made your favorite. Come on, eat a little." Phoebe didn't move.

Theodore reached out to lift her up, but she started struggling like crazy. Scared of hurting her and reopening her wounds, he let go.

She fell back onto the bed, looking stunned.
