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 Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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 speculating, 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 explained everything. He took another deep breath and

grabbed Rachel’s hand.

“You can’t lie, can’t you?”
