Cheated Once Cherished Forever: The Billionaire's Bride novel Chapter 178

"Get out," Theodore spat out the words in a flat tone.

Alexander merely smiled.

Isabella also said to him, "Alexander, please leave. I have something to say to him."

Since even Isabella had spoken, Alexander finally stopped resisting. He obediently retreated, but before he left, he left a message for Isabella. "You can call me anytime."

This was a blatant provocation directed at Theodore.

Only Isabella and Theodore remained in the ward. Theodore walked slowly to Isabella's bedside. He raised his hand slightly, wanting to hold hers, but Isabella abruptly avoided his touch.

Theodore's hand froze in mid-air. He lowered his eyes to look at Isabella, a look of disbelief in his gaze.

Her eyes were still red-rimmed. She stared straight at him, looking as fragile as glass, as if she might shatter at any moment. She did not know how much her gaze at this moment pained Theodore's heart.

"Bella—"

"I ask, you answer," Isabella interrupted him.

Her gaze and her questioning tone felt like slow torture to Theodore. He could only nod silently.

Isabella sniffled and looked up at him. "Did you swap Jessie's letter?"

Theodore frowned. Regarding this matter, he trusted Caleb's capabilities. Unless someone deliberately investigated it, it was impossible to discover that the letter was a fake.

"Answer me." Actually, during the few seconds of Theodore's silence, Isabella already had the answer.

"Yes," he replied.

Hearing his answer, Isabella's head, which she had just propped up, plopped weakly onto the pillow. Her eyes became helpless, and she looked like a puppy that had suddenly been abandoned on the street by its owner.

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, instantly piercing Theodore's heart.

He wanted to reach out and wipe them away, but at this moment, Theodore suddenly realized that Isabella felt far, far away from him.

He heard her ask again, her voice light and faint, "Did you drive Jessie to suicide as well?"
