Seeing Theodore’s somewhat dejected and defeated expression, the nurse couldn’t help but say.
“Don’t think about it, just be grateful that you managed to stay alive.”
“You lay in such a heavy rain all night, and no one cared about your life or death.”
“No matter who you found, it was obvious that they didn’t care about your well–being.”
These advices sounded particularly harsh in Theodore’s ears. He was momentarily overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes turning red as he uncontrollably shouted at the nurse, “Get out!”
Then he began to pull out the infusion tube, throwing things around. It seemed like he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and resentment in his
heart.
The nurse was startled by Theodore’s appearance, and couldn’t help but mutter, “Are you crazy?”
After the nurse left, Theodore sat on the cold ground as if he had lost all his strength. He watched his wound continue to bleed. The high fever in his body had not completely subsided, leaving him in a very
uncomfortable state.

was busy taking care of him. The illness was so severe that Theodore even thought he might not make it. At that time, their relationship was at its best, with no third party involved. Evelyn stayed by his side day and night, never leaving.
When Theodore woke up every day, he could see Evelyn’s red eyes. Theodore rarely had moments of clarity, so he immediately had a will draw up by a lawyer. Evelyn’s name was written on it.
After Evelyn found out, she immediately tore up the suicide note. After tearing it up, she didn’t speak to Theodore for two or three days. In the end, when she saw that Theodore was really sick, she never brought up the matter again.
Evelyn was just glaring at Theodore at that moment. She gritted her teeth and said, “Theodore, if you ever insult me like this again, I will turn around and leave, completely walk away from you, so you will never find me again.”
Theodore watched Evelyn’s serious and stubborn look at that time, with only one thought in his mind. He knew that he had fallen for Evelyn in this lifetime. However, after many years together, Theodore inexplicably drowned.
At that moment, he met Samantha again. He saw Evelyn from Samantha. Theodore kept telling himself in his heart at that time. Just like this one deviation, the feelings of the two people who have been together for so many years. Evelyn must be able to understand him.
Moreover, in circles of aristocrats like them, having a lover outside of marriage is the most common thing. Even if he likes Samantha again, it would not threaten Evelyn’s status. Even that divorce agreement, in reality, he could withdraw it anytime if he wanted to.
Theodore thought everything was under his control. But he never

expected that Evelyn was even more determined than he thought. She was resolute in not allowing anyone to hurt her or betray her.
As it was approaching dawn, Theodore drifted off to sleep with a fever. He woke up groggily, full of anticipation, only to find himself lying alone on the hospital floor. The face he had been yearning to see was nowhere in sight.
Evelyn, it’s true that she didn’t care whether he lived or died.
Theodore put his hands on his face, but still couldn’t help sobbing.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to go back to the past. If everything could start over, he wouldn’t choose this way.
