Chapter 2089


    Theo suddenly felt the weight in his arms lighten, and Roanne’s head tilted limply to one side. Theo was


    frozen in shock as though he had been struck by lightning. He lowered his head to stare at Roanne in


    horror. “Roanne?” “She’s dead,” a cold female voice rang out from the direction of the door, though it was


    graced with elegance and intellect.


    That voice…


    Theo lifted his head in surprise and immediately caught sight of Rachel standing at the door. She was


    dressed in a light green shirt and white trousers that made her look smart, sessful, and elegant.


    When she saw Theo looking at her, she took out her phone to contact the hospital staff and walked


    slowly over to him.


    As soon as Theo saw her, all the longing and adoration he had for her in the past dissipated and was


    reced by worry toward Roanne.


    He immediately lunged forward to grab Rachel’s arm. “You must have some way of saving her, right?


    She just suffered a few knife wounds in her abdomen; how could she have died just like that?


    “Rachel, I know you must have some way of saving her!”


    Rachel’s expression darkened when she saw the crazed look in Theo’s eyes.


    A split secondter, she regained herposure and said, “I’m just a doctor, not God himself.


    She strode over and gazed at the bandage wrapped around Roanne’s abdomen, covered in blood. “I’m


    sure that just by the look of this, you’ll know that the injuries she suffered were severe.


    “Theo, I’ve saved plenty ofatose patients before, but unfortunately, I don’t have any ways of bringing


    back the dead.”


    With that, she turned and left the room. However, as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, Rachel


    froze in her steps and added, “. Theo, I remember that you told me you missed me and that you couldn’t


    go a single day without thinking of me.


    “You even told me that if I were toe to Merchant City, you’d be the first to pick me up at the station


    and bring me sightseeing all over the city, but…”

    She curled her lips into a bitter smile. “I called you and messaged you multiple times this morning, and


    you didn’t even reply to me at all. I thought you were busy, but I never thought you were busy dealing


    with this woman.


    “Since your heart already belongs to someone else, why did you send me those amorous, flirty texts,


    then?”

    The expression on Rachel’s face was calm as she said this, as though she was talking about someone


    else’s rtionship instead of her own. Theo’s entire body was frozen in shock as he held onto Roanne’s


    limp, lifeless body. “I…I didn’t know you’d being to Merchant City.”


    Rachel was right.


    SI


    During this period, Theo had managed to reconnect with Luna, and initially, he thought he would fall back


    into his love for her, but to his surprise, ever since he met Rachel, she had be the only woman on


    his mind, so much so that he would even dream of her at night. That was why he thought he had fallen


    head over heels for Rachel, but… He met Rachel’s cold, prating stare. “I…”
