The scene shifted back to before Theodore left the hospital. He looked at the time on the wall; it was already nine o'clock. He had planned to wait until nine, but time was up now.
9.01 PM, 9.02 PM, 9.03 PM… The minutes ticked away.
Theodore stared at the clock and smiled.
"Rose, you wouldn't even let me see you one last time. You've deceived me again. You said you would come, but you changed your mind. Do you hate me so much? Then I'll die. If I die, you won't hate me anymore. If I die, I won't have to listen to your lies anymore or feel so much pain and despair," he thought.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door to his ward.
Theodore paused in his movements. He turned his head, filled with hope. Could it be Rosalie?
The knocking continued.
Unable to hear any response from inside, the person outside grew worried and cautiously opened the door, peeking inside.
She saw Theodore standing by the window ledge, and was startled. She quickly walked in.
"What are you trying to do?"
Theodore, seeing the woman in front of him, was momentarily stunned.
"Why are you here?"
It wasn't Rosalie. Why wasn't it Rosalie?
Aurora Payne stepped forward, nervous. "I came to check on you. Visiting hours are over, but I sneaked in because I was worried about you. You didn't respond when I knocked, so I came in."
It was fortunate she came in, or Theodore might have gone through with his plan of jumping.
"Don't do this. Problems can be solved. Please, don't do this. I beg you."
Theodore forced a smile, and returned to sit on the edge of the bed.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. I just couldn't sleep, so I was getting some fresh air by the window."
It was a desolate place, and it was strange for someone to be passing by.
Aurora answered, "I'm a photographer. I went there to take photos of the scenery. I saw a few old houses and planned to go in to take pictures, but then I found you lying on the ground covered in blood. I was terrified and immediately took you to the hospital. However, I received an urgent call once we got to the hospital, so I had to leave. I heard that you were saved, so I'm here to visit."
She hadn't expected this man to be so lucky.
Theodore handed her a sticky note and a pen from the bed. "Leave your number."
Aurora's heart raced as she looked at his handsome face.
When she saw Theodore lying in that dilapidated house covered in blood, she was struck by his appearance. Her camera had captured countless men, but none had looked as striking as him.
She shyly took the sticky note, and wrote down her number. "This is my number. You can call me anytime."
"I'll have my assistant call you. He will arrange the compensation for you." Theodore's voice was as cold as ice.

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 !...
