Chapter 2266


    The familiar voice had Rachel lift her head, only to realize Theo was blocking their way with his arms


    spread out.


    He looked at Rachel coldly.


    “Dr. Liddell, since you’ve said that you hate people who lie, then I’m sure you won’t lie either. Am I right?”


    Rachel furrowed her brows and looked at Theo helplessly.


    “Just say whatever you’re thinking of. There’s no need to twist and turn.”


    Theo suddenly was speechless because of what Rachel said. He had imagined what reaction Rachel


    would have if he asked her, but he never expected her to be so direct.


    He took a deep breath and squinted, asking, “I just want to ask you… You said you were thrilled to be


    engaged with Caleb. Is that true?”


    This question had been like a curse that lingered in his mind after he eavesdropped on Rachel and


    Caleb talking about their engagement. He wanted to know what he and Caleb meant to Rachel


    respectively.


    ‘Could she be so thrilled that she made mistakes in her work just because she got engaged with Caleb?’


    Rachel was caught off guard by Theo’s question. She lifted her head and looked into Theo’s eyes with


    her clear eyes. She detected a vague hopeful glint, underlined by sadness and worry, and to this, she


    could not help but sneer inwardly.


    ‘He was so determined to reject me and chose to marry a dead body. What’s all this, asking me this


    question now?’ .


    “Of course she didn’t lie.” Caleb wrapped his arm around Rachel’s shoulder and looked at Theo


    warningly.

    “Mr. Allen, what answer are you waiting for? What are you specting, and what assumption did you


    make?


    “Rachel is now my fiancee, and you were the one who pushed her to my side. What’s the meaning of


    you asking this now?


    “Are you going to chase after her now? Mr. Allen, I wonder if you’ve heard of this saying, but it’s no use


    crying over spilled milk Rach is now my fiancee, and we’re going to live together starting today. Stop


    bothering her!”


    Theo’s eyes gradually became darker as Caleb continued talking. He took a look at Rachel and then


    Caleb, who was holding Rachel’s shoulder tightly. He sneered with a sarcastic smile.


    ” Rach? How sweet.”


    He then looked at Rachel again said indifferently, “I’m asking you a question, not him. I just want to ask


    you: are you truly thrilled to marry him?”


    Rachel looked into Theo’s eyes without answering the question.


    She was not good at lying. Very often in her daily work, she would not say any white lies like any other


    doctor when a patient had a chronic illness. To her, death was just the rule of the universe, and there was


    nothing to hide.


    However…


    She hesitated as she looked at Theo. If she followed her heart, then perhaps Theo would think that they


    still had a chance. If she lied, on the other hand, she would single-handedly break her principle.


    Theo could tell that Rachel was hesitating, and his lips curled upward. Honestly speaking, even if Rachel


    did not answer the question, her silence exined everything. He took another deep breath and grabbed


    Rachel’s hand.


    “You can’t lie, can’t you?”
