The scene shifted back to before Theodore left the hospital. He looked at the time on the wall; it was already nine o’clock. He had planned to wait until nine, but time was up now.
9.01 PM, 9.02 PM, 9.03 PM… The minutes ticked away.
Theodore stared at the clock and smiled.
Rose, you wouldn’t even let me see you one last time. You’ve deceived me again. You said you would come, but you changed your mind. Do you hate me so much? Then I’ll die. If I die, you won’t hate me anymore. If I die, I won’t have to listen to your lies anymore or feel so much pain and despair, he thought.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door to his ward.
Theodore paused in his movements. He turned his head, filled with hope. Could it be Rosalie?
The knocking continued.
Unable to hear any response from inside, the person outside grew worried and cautiously opened the door, peeking inside.
She saw Theodore standing by the window ledge, and was startled. She quickly walked in.
What are you trying to do?
Theodore, seeing the woman in front of him, was momentarily stunned.
Why are you here?
It wasn’t Rosalie. Why wasn’t it Rosalie?
Aurora Payne stepped forward, nervous. I came to check on you. Visiting hours are over, but I sneaked in because I was worried about you. You didn’t respond when I knocked, so I came in.
It was fortunate she came in, or Theodore might have gone through with his plan of jumping.
Don’t do this. Problems can be solved. Please, don’t do this. I beg you.
Theodore forced a smile, and returned to sit on the edge of the bed.
What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I just couldn’t sleep, so I was getting some fresh air by the window.
Really? Aurora was somewhat incredulous.
The scene she had just witnessed made her uneasy. Theodore had clearly been about to climb out the window.
After Theodore got back into bed, he pulled up the covers. He didn’t want to jump in front of someone else.
Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter, but I still owe you a thank you.
It was Aurora who had saved him that day. He had been injured, and was bleeding profusely.

Then, she used all her strength to lift him and put him into her car.
Later, he arrived at the hospital, and when he woke up, the woman who saved him was no longer there.
Aurora stepped forward and said, I didn’t expect to run into you then.
Theodore turned to look at her and asked, Why were you there?
It was a desolate place, and it was strange for someone to be passing by.

She hadn’t expected this man to be so lucky.
Theodore handed her a sticky note and a pen from the bed. Leave your number.
Aurora’s heart raced as she looked at his handsome face.
When she saw Theodore lying in that dilapidated house covered in blood, she was struck by his appearance. Her camera had captured countless men, but mone had looked as striking as him.
She shyly took the sticky note, and wrote down her number. This is my number. You can call me anytime.
I’ll have my assistant call you. He will arrange the compensation for you. Theodore’s voice was as cold as ice.
