The doctor told them that while Rebecca was fine last night, they found a blood clot in her artery this morning. Although they tried their best to save her, they eventually failed.
Everyone in the ward was crying and blaming themselves.
Outside the ward, Aurora and Angie were heaving a sigh of relief as they went to a secluded corner.
"Well done, Angie! We're both safe now," Aurora said.
Angie agreed. "Yeah, I finally feel relieved. It's great that the old woman is now dead!"
Angie stretched her arms out and yawned.
"Don't forget what you promised me! When you become Theo's wife, we'll share him."
Angie couldn't wait to be intimate with Theodore.
Aurora patted the back of Angie's hand. "But of course! We're sisters. I won't let the good stuff go to outsiders. Even without you, he'll have other women elsewhere. The two of us will have Theo eating out of our hands. We'll share in each other's success and failure."
"Yes, indeed," Angie said happily, foolish naivety in her eyes.
Aurora smiled, her eyes flashing with a wicked glint.
What right did Angie have to ask to share Theodore? She should look into the mirror instead and ask if she's fit to be with Theodore!

Just like that, Rebecca left the world.
The Spencers were brokenhearted, but they had to face up to reality and begin funeral preparations.
On the third day, many people attended the memorial service. The Spencers thanked all the attendees for coming, including Sebastian, Yvonne, and even Christopher.
When Sebastian approached Rosalie, she shook his hand as a form of courtesy.
Sebastian noticed how she seemed to have lost weight overnight. Concerned, he said, "Rose, talk to me if you're troubled."
"Thank you," Rosalie said without even lifting her head. She added flatly, "Please head in."
Sebastian said nothing further and headed in.
Meanwhile, Christopher walked toward Sydney. The wounds on her face hadn't fully recovered, but she covered them up with concealer so they weren't that visible.
Just then, he heard a voice calling him. "Godfather."
Wesley saw Yerick approaching him, and immediately stood up. "Yerry, you're here!"
"I'm here to see you. You must be very upset right now. I don't really know what to say to comfort you, because I know it's pointless. I was in a lot of pain when my mom died, too. Nothing anyone said comforted me."
Wesley lowered his head as tears welled up in his eyes. "Thank you, Yerry."
"Godfather," Yerick said as he wrapped his arm around Wesley, patting the latter's back gently. "You can come to me if you're upset. I can keep you company, have a meal, chat, or do whatever you want with you. Please don't keep your feelings to yourself."
"Thank you, Yerry. Thank you."
Wesley hugged his son back, finally feeling slightly comforted.
The corner of Yerick's lips lifted in a cold smirk. Wesley had no idea that this illegitimate son of his, who looked kind and sensible on the outside, was in fact the culprit who caused Rebecca's death.
At this moment, Theodore walked in to see Wesley and Yerick locked in an embrace.
"Dad," he began, frowning.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
