As the rest remained in the living room, Rachel watched as Yannie left before she turned and looked at
Joshua helplessly. Joshua understood and whispered something in Theo‘s ear. After that, Theo quickly
got someone to carry Thomas out.
When he was at the door, he turned and looked at Rachel. “Aren‘t you going to go with us? If anything
happens on the way to the hospital, none of us know how to handle it.
Rachel thought for a while and went out of the door with Theo. As she walked outside, she saw Yannie
standing at the side, crying
“Crying doesn‘t solve anything.” Rachel patted Yannie‘s shoulder. “We‘re going to send him to the
hospital now. Do you want to come along?”
Yannie took a look at Thomas, who was carried by Theo and bodyguards as they tried to put him in the
car. A slight discomfort appeared in her heart. “I...don‘t feel like going.”
She did not know how to face Thomas who had slept with another woman.
“But...” Rachel sighed. “He didn‘t know what happened after he passed out. However, he knew both of
you were
in danger beforehand. If you don‘t come with us, I‘m afraid he won’t believe us when we tell him you‘re
safe. It‘s going to be tedious.” Rachel added, “Of course, I‘m only suggesting that you go with us. I
mean, you‘re his girlfriend. If you truly don‘t feel like going, I‘ll respect that too.”
Yannie‘s tears started falling down from her eyes again as stifled. After a moment of silence, she
nodded. “Let‘s go, then.”
When Yannie finally agreed to come along, Rachel sighed in relief. She patted Yannie‘s shoulder as
they both got into the car.
“You know, it‘s just human nature. In reality, he doesn‘t want to do anything with that woman.” Rachel
pulled Yannie and said while they were getting into the car.
“He didn‘t betray you emotionally. His body didn‘t have any choice... It‘s not something that you can‘t
forgive.
“For me, I take body contact very lightly. I mean, it‘s just human instinct.” Theo was startled by what
Rachel said. After a while, he said in a small voice, “If you really treat it very lightly... then why can‘t you
forgive me?”
He felt very guilty when Roanne passed away and, in his storm of guilt and momentary craze, wanted
to compensate Roanne. He never even had any body contact with Roanne!
If Rachel could advise Yannie to let it go when Thomas and Denise had sexual intercourse, how could
Rachel not forgive his recklessness? “That‘s different.” Rachel was first stunned when Theo asked this
question at such a time. After a while, she gave him her answer. “I said maybe you didn‘t have a choice
when it comes to body contact. But...”
She looked at Theo through the rearview mirror. “Did you think you were the same? Your whole heart
was filled with Roanne. You made me feel like you and her were meant to be together and you wanted
to be loyal to her by being alone for the rest of your life.
“Now that you think you‘re over it, you come and bother me again. Should I make way for you again
when the next time the same thing happens again? Theo, I‘m not the first in your heart, so I choose to
back out. Stop bothering me. You‘re the one who decided for us to end this way.”
After that, she ignored Theo and comforted Yannie.” Yannie, don‘t let us affect you...”
Being in the front passenger seat, Theo looked at Rachel who had given Yannie all of her gentleness
and attention. His lips curled up into a bitter smile. He knew Rachel was a tough and stubborn woman.
He made a mistake. Was it that serious that she could not forgive him for the rest of her life?
