Forbidden Passion

Chapter 643 It Can't Change Anything

After dinner, Cindy drove Phoebe back to Golden Apartment. On the way, Phoebe got a call from Noah, and he sounded super down. "Phoebe, I'm sorry, I'm really useless."

Phoebe was caught off guard, then chuckled, "What's up? Is it about what happened this afternoon? That wasn't on you, it was just a freak thing." "But you almost got hurt because of me. Now, every time I close my eyes, I see that scene. I'm so sorry," Noah said, his voice shaking with fear.

Noah had always thought if he was strong enough, he could keep Phoebe safe. But today, watching a crazed fan rush at Phoebe with a knife while he was held back by bodyguards, he realized how powerless he was. Phoebe sighed softly, "Noah, don't beat yourself up. There are all kinds of people in this world, some good, some bad. It's not your fault. Just try to chill and be more careful next time. It's all good." Noah closed his eyes and said in a choked voice, "You were the one who almost got stabbed, and you've been dealing with the fallout. Why aren't you mad, Phoebe? Just yell at me."

"Do you think it's easy for me to yell at you?" Phoebe said, exasperated. "Alright, I'm really tired. I'll have Alfonso come over to keep you company. Don't overthink it, okay?"

Noah gripped his phone tightly. He knew he shouldn't bother Phoebe right now, but he couldn't help but ask, "Phoebe, are you moved that Theodore saved you?"

Phoebe was taken aback, and Theodore's determined eyes flashed in her mind. She turned to look out the window and said softly, "I really appreciate him saving me, but it doesn't change anything." Noah got what Phoebe meant.

Theodore had shielded Phoebe from the knife, and Phoebe was touched, but it wouldn't change her mind. That was enough.

"Alright, I get it. Get some rest."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now."

Phoebe hung up and wearily rubbed her temples.

Cindy had overheard the convo and knew who was on the other end. Seeing Phoebe looking troubled, she said, "Noah giving you a hard time again?"
