Forbidden Passion

Chapter 701 Bishop Secretly Returns to the Country

"Theodore, what's going on in that head of yours? There are so many women out there better than Phoebe. Why are you stuck on her?" Sarah just couldn't wrap her mind around it.

When Theodore and Phoebe were together, he didn't seem to care much. But now that they were apart, he was acting like he couldn't live without her.

Theodore just pressed his lips together and stayed quiet.

Seeing him like this made Sarah furious. She closed her eyes and said firmly, "Theodore, Phoebe can't have kids. I can't let you marry her again."

Theodore suddenly looked at Sarah. Her eyes, cloudy with age, stared back at him, stubborn and unyielding.

His lips moved, but he decided not to say anything that might upset her right now.

"Grandma, you should get some rest."

Sarah stared at him intently and said in a determined tone, "Theodore, promise me you won't go near Phoebe again. She's a good girl. When she married into our family, we treated her well. Don't make us resent her." Her words cut deep into Theodore's heart.

His hand, hanging by his side, clenched into a fist, his knuckles cracking as he said, "Grandma, you should get some rest. I'm going out for a smoke."

With that, Theodore stood up and walked out.

Sarah struggled to lift her upper body, watching Theodore's lonely and desolate back. She said, "She can't have children, and that's something I can't accept."

Theodore's hand paused on the doorknob, then he pressed down, and the door opened. He walked out, called a nurse, and asked someone to watch over Sarah.

In the hospital's smoking area, Theodore leaned against the glass wall, one leg bent. He flicked the ash from his cigarette, the tip glowing red. He took a drag and exhaled heavily.
