Chapter 2094


    Caleb was surprised that Rachel could have been so calm in all of this.


    Even Theo was a little stunned by this. He was silent for a short while before finally saying in a hoarse


    voice. “There’s no need for that. I’ll find her a burial ce myself, and I’ll pay you back for the funeral


    service out of my pocket too.”


    Then, he let out a sigh as he nced at Rachel. “I hadn’t wanted you to pay me back at all for the portrait


    I painted of you; I had done that of my own ord.


    “Please, keep it as a gift from me.”


    “No need,” Rachel interrupted him curtly. “I never ept gifts from strangers. You should know that


    whenever I receive gifts from people I don’t know, I’d either throw them away or pay them back for their


    kindness. “However, because the paintings are all of me, I don’t intend on throwing them away, so I want


    to pay you back for your effort.” She yawned and continued impassively, “Please don’t reject my offer


    anymore, Mr. Allen. Otherwise, it’ll put me in a very difficult position.” Then, she picked up the stic bag


    of bloodstained clothes on the floor next to her and asked, “These must be Ms. Jacobs’ belongings,


    right?” She nced at the nurse. “Let’s go.” The nurse nodded, then wheeled the bed out of the room


    behind Rachel.


    In a split second, the only two people left in the room were Caleb and Theo. “I guess there’s no need for


    me to help you anymore,” Caleb said, yawning, with a sneer on his lips. “Dr. Liddell and I have known


    each other for a very long time now, so I’m speaking from experience when I say that as soon as she


    locks you out of her heart, you won’t be able to get in anymore. “If this is your decision, Theo, then I


    admire your bravery.”


    With that, he turned and left.


    Theo remained motionless, clenching his fists as he watched Rachel and the nurse walk down the


    hallway.


    Rachel had called him…a stranger. Not only that, but she had even referred to Roanne as his girlfriend.


    A bitter smile crept across Theo’s face. Maybe it was right of him to give Roanne a status. After all, the


    only thing she had wanted in her short life was to be with him.


    “I can’t believe him!” Luna snapped, her arms crossed in front of her chest as soon as she got


    into the car.


    Initially, she had tried to understand Theo’s point of view. After all, anyone would be grieving if they


    watched someone die right in front of their eyes.


    However, it was one thing to pity Roanne for her demise, but another thing entirely to make this into a


    huge drama.


    Not only had he broken up with Dr. Liddell, but he even med Joshua for Roanne’s death.


    It was as though everyone in this world had something to do with her death.

    From the many years of knowing him, Luna had always thought Theo was a mature and level – headed


    man, but why did he seem to have been put under a spell suddenly?


    “Maybe he’s guilty of her death,” said Joshua as he was typing on his phone. “Maybe he’ll calm down


    after he’s had some time to sit with this.” Luna sighed. “I certainly hope so, but I can’t understand this at


    all. When Roanne was still alive, Theo hadn’t liked her back at all, nor had he ever seemed to care about


    her. He had been pursuing Dr. Liddell all this while, but why did he suddenly…”
