After a few days of mental tug-of-war, Rosalie still refused to accept Theodore's liver. It was clear to see that her condition was deteriorating fast.
"Rose, I'm begging you! Go for the surgery," Theodore pleaded, unable to wait any longer.
If there really came a day where he hated her, the reason would be her stubbornness. She wanted to keep his liver at the expense of her life.
Both children were sprawled on the bedside, sobbing hard.
Rosalie's haggard face looked lifeless. She held Theodore's hand and said, "Theo, promise me one thing. After I die, please take care of Chelsea. I hope you can take good care of her. I'm leaving both children in your hands."
"I won't say yes," Theodore said agitatedly. "I won't take care of your daughter. If you die, I won't care about your daughter."
"Theo, don't be like this!" Rosalie knew that he was saying that to make her agree to accept his liver. "I really can't take your liver. That would be way too selfish of me."
"Aren't you being selfish, leaving your daughter in my hands and depriving Jake of his mother's love? At the very least, Chelsea enjoyed five years of her mother's love. What about Jake? How pitiful is he? What you're doing is incredibly selfish!"
Theodore had no choice but to be harsh with his words.
In pain, Rosalie begged, "Theo, don't force me, please?"
"You're the one forcing me and the children!" Theodore bit out angrily. "See how pitiful the two of them are. Are you really going to let them see their mother die before their eyes? You're being way too cruel to them!"
Tears streamed down Rosalie's face as she looked at her two children. She shut her eyes tight in pain.
"Theo, I really can't take your liver. If anything were to happen, you'll die."
"I won't. Liver transplant technology is very mature, and I've found the best doctor for it. Nothing will happen."
"No! Even if there's only a 10% chance that something might happen, I can't take the risk. Theo, I really don't want to cause you any harm."
To Rosalie, taking Theodore's liver was cruel, too. She had been too cruel to him in the past, and she couldn't bring herself to do it now. She couldn't get past herself.
Despite Theodore's repeated attempts at convincing Rosalie, she refused to budge.

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 !...
