CHAPTER 2091
Luna could tell that something was not right with Rachel, but since she was not that familiar with
Rachel, she did not dare to say anything to her. Caleb shot Rachel another helpless glance as she
stormed off, then entered the room with Luna and Joshua. Inside, Theo was tidying and straightening
Roanne’s clothes while a doctor was checking all of Roanne’s vital signs. When he heard the footsteps
behind him, Theo thought it was Rachel who had returned and proceeded to declare without even
turning around, “Rachel, I always thought that you’d be far more mature and level-headed in a situation
like this, seeing as you’re older than me.
“I never thought that the only thing on your mind as you watched a woman die before your eyes would
be jealousy toward her. “I don’t think this is working out, so—” “So you want to dump her?” Caleb
interjected coldly before Theo could even finish his sentence. He furrowed his brows and scowled at
Theo. “Do you even know how happy she was last night as soon as she knew she’d be coming to see
you? “She thought you’d be as happy to see her as she was to see you, but what happened? How dare
you even say these things to her?” Not only was Theo not ashamed of being scolded like this, but he
grew even more outraged.” So what if I say these things to her?
“She’s a doctor, so she, out of anyone, would be able to understand a dying person’s last wishes. It
was all my fault that Roanne ended up like this! Is it wrong of me to fulfill her dying wish of hugging her
and giving her one last kiss? “If Rachel’s love toward her is so shallow and narrow-minded, then we
might as well not be together at all!” Caleb sucked in a deep breath. He knew fully well that Rachel was
not an ordinary woman.
He had known her for many years, and the reason Rachel had yet to settle down despite being almost
30 was not that she did not have any suitors, but because she had incredibly high standards and had
never fallen for any of them.
Not only that, but the reason he and Rachel had met was precisely because of this; Caleb’s family had
admired her talent and wanted him to pursue her. However, Caleb did not like women, and therefore
this courting had not worked out in the end. Despite this, Caleb knew very well that even if he were
straight and had courted Rachel, she would not even give him so much as a glance. She had fallen for
Theo, but what did he do?
He was declaring their separation even before they had officially dated! Luna bit her lip when she saw
how furious Caleb was and gently pinched his arm. “Don’t hold this against him. He’s…not in a good
mood right now.”
“Does being in a bad mood allow him to treat Rachel like this?” Caleb sneered. “Theo, let me tell you This is from .
this: If you don’t explain everything and apologize to Rachel right now, you’ll regret this for the rest of
your life!”
Theo lifted his head to glance at Caleb impassively. “On the contrary, if I apologize to Rachel about
wanting to take care of Roanne in the last moments of her life, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.” Then,
he glanced once more at Roanne, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. “Please leave. I
want to have some time alone with her, and I don’t want to fight with you guys in front of her.”
Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. “Theo, it’s not your fault that Roanne died; you shouldn’t blame
yourself for it.” Theo lifted his head to shoot both Luna and Joshua a contemptuous look. “Is that so?
Would she have died if Joshua hadn’t used me to get close to her?”
