CHAPTER 2090

Rachel knew that it was petty of her to get jealous over a dead woman, but she could not find a way to

get past it. She could not accept the fact that Theo had confessed his love toward her while being

involved with another woman all this while.

Not only that, but she had never even known about this woman’s existence until this day.

If she had not followed Caleb to escort Rosalyn and Charles back to Merchant City, she probably would

have never found out the truth; that the man who claimed to love her had held another woman on her

deathbed and even kissed her just seconds before her death.

“Rachel.” Theo’s brows were furrowed as he held a limp, no-longer-breathing Roanne. “She’s had a

hard life. Are you really going to argue with me about this over her dead body?”

His pity and guilt toward Roanne had surpassed all of his other emotions, and as he held Roanne’s

body close to him, he could not understand why Rachel was behaving so petty and holding this against

him. Could she not wait until the body was at least taken care of? According to what he had read,

hearing was the last of the five senses to leave one’s body. Roanne had just died seconds ago, and if

what he read was true, then she must have overheard the conversation he had with Rachel!

He did not want this to be the last thing Roanne heard before her soul left her body.

As soon as he thought of this, Theo let out an exhale and gently whispered next to Roanne’s ear, “Rest

in peace. You and I were never meant to be in this lifetime…and I hope you won’t meet someone like

me again in your next life.” With that, he gently placed the body back on the bed. Rachel watched

quietly as he did this and could not help feeling as though there was a knot in her chest.

Perhaps it was because of her familiarity with dead bodies, or maybe it was due to her blunt

personality, but for some reason, she did not find it inappropriate to argue with Theo in front of

Roanne’s body.

However, she could not help feeling hurt by Theo’s attitude in all this. She let out an exhale and smiled

bitterly, staring at Theo’s back. “Maybe I shouldn’t have come here today at all.”

Then, she turned and left.

Theo furrowed his brows as he watched her leave.

He knew he should have gone after her, but…

He stopped himself from doing so and thought that Rachel’s behavior was extremely childish and petty.

Theo lowered his head to glance at Roanne and let out a deep sigh. He reached out a hand to

gently stroke her cheek and said, “I’m sorry.” From the moment he saved her until her death, Roanne

had wanted nothing more than for him to kiss her, but he had failed to fulfill such a simple request from

her. When Joshua, Luna, and Caleb arrived at the room, they ran into Rachel, who had stormed out of

the room with an unreadable expression on her face. Caleb furrowed his brows and immediately

grabbed hold of her arm. “How’s Roanne doing

now?”

Rachel’s face was calm as she asked, “Are you talking about the woman that Theo was holding in his

arms?” Caleb froze for a moment, then replied, “That… That’s her.” “She died. You’re too late.”

With that, she flung Caleb’s arm away and stomped down the hallway.

Caleb watched dazedly as she walked off, then turned to glance at Luna and Joshua. “Um…” Luna

furrowed her brows. “Let’s just go inside.”
