When he said the word "friends", it was clearly in quotes. Cynthia knew this—no one in the world would make friends this way.
Ulterior motives like these were only driven by self-interest.
Cynthia suddenly burst into laughter.
"Of course Theo is very important to me! You're ridiculous to think that you can get me a heart. Theo hasn't even managed it yet, but you say you can."
The man took a phone from his pocket, and tapped it a few times. Suddenly, the hospital alarm blared, the sound shrill and ear-piercing.
Cynthia became tense, and her face turned pale. "What did you do?"
"Nothing, just playing with the alarm. Listen to how nervous people outside are."
He stood up, and straightened his coat.
"It seems you truly love Theodore, Miss Zeller. You don’t doubt his sincerity at all. In that case, we can't be friends—though I admire you. Love is more important to you than your own life. It’s commendable. Maybe when you get to the underworld, the King of Hell will show you mercy."
He walked to the door, and opened it to leave.
Cynthia clenched the bedsheet; instinctively, she blurted out, "Wait! I don't even know who you are! How do I know if you're telling the truth? If you want to be friends with me, you have to prove it!"
The man turned, and asked slowly, "If I can prove it to you, will you accept my proposal?"
Cynthia said nervously, "That depends on how you’ll prove it to me."
The man raised his hand, and pulled down his hat. "I'll come find you again. Remember, don't play tricks with me. I know everything about you, including what you did abroad."
When Cynthia heard this, she was thunderstruck.
How did this man know?!
No, it was impossible! He must be trying to scare her!

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
