When Helenâs eyes laid upon Theodore, she began to choke into sobs.
âTheodore! Iâm so happy to see you again.
Iâve been so bored in the mansion.
â
Helenâs face was pale and gaunt, and she didnât look very well.
She looked weaker than the last time he saw her.
Theodore asked, âHave you had a check-up at the hospital recently? Why do you look so terrible?â
âYou donât even answer my phone calls these days.
I donât want to go to the hospital alone.
â Helenâs eyes were red, and she cried with a grievance, âIs it because I did something wrong that made you angry? Or is it because Ariana doesnât like me?â
Theodore sighed and replied dismissively, âDonât think too much about it.
You should go to the hospital.
Donât neglect your health.
â
Helen bit her trembling lip, gazing at him with tears in her eyes.
âThen why did you move out of the mansion without even telling me? Is it because you donât want to see me anymore?â
âI said donât think too much.
Itâs none of your business.
You donât have to worry about it.
â Theodore frowned, his eyes narrowed and his expression somber.
He was not as gentle and patient as when he was with Ariana.
Helen was in a state of despair.
She felt that Theodore was distancing himself farther and farther away from her, like a gust of wind she was desperately trying to catch in her hands.
âIT know, Theodore.
I wonât ask you about it anymore.
â
Theodoreâs face softened when she complied, and he asked, âWhy didnât you stay at the mansion to recuperate? Why did you come here?â

âWhy else? Because I miss you, Theodore.
â Helen lowered her head, her hair falling forward and her long eyelashes hiding her emotions.
Theodore sighed.
He thought the young girl was weak and not in her right mind right now.
âIâll contact your attending doctor later and see when you can return to the hospital for an operation.
Donât run around like this for now.
Just stay in the mansion and rest.
â
When Helen heard that Theodore was trying to drive her away again, her expression darkened for a moment, and she said, âThe day after tomorrow is the anniversary of Marleyâs death.
I specially came here to see you so that we can go visit her tomb together.
â
She cast a careful look at Theodore and then asked tentatively, âDid you forget the date?â
Theodore was lost in his thoughts for a moment, but he shook his head and answered, âI havenât forgotten.
For the past eight years, I remembered the date of Marleyâs death every year.
â
Of course, Helen knew that there was no way Theodore would forget Marley.
Marley was the person he cared about the most.
If he didnât care about her so much, Helen wouldnât have been able to use Marley as an excuse to stay with him.
âPlease, Theodore.
Can I stay here?â Helen asked timidly.
After pondering over it for a while, Theodore finally agreed, âFine.
You can stay here.
â
Delighted, Helen exclaimed happily, âThank you, Theodore!â
âHorace, help Helen arrange a room at the hotel nearby,â Theodore ordered Horace, who was standing at the door.
The bright grin on Helenâs face froze.
âWhat do you mean by a nearby hotel? There are so many rooms available in this suite.
Why canât I stay here?â
