Forbidden Passion

The doctor took off his mask, looked at the anxious Phoebe in front of him, and said calmly, "The patient has a gash at the back of her head. The wound has been stitched up, and there's no major issue. However, the patient mentioned feeling dizzy, so she needs to stay in the hospital for observation to check for a concussion."

Upon hearing that the patient had a gash at the back of her head, Phoebe's heart tightened. "Is she awake now?"

"Yes, she's awake and mentioned feeling dizzy. The nurse will bring her out shortly. She should stay in the hospital for observation." The doctor finished speaking and turned to leave.

After a while, the nurse wheeled Evelyn out. Her head was wrapped in gauze, and her face was pale due to excessive blood loss.

Seeing Evelyn in this state, Phoebe's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly ran to the bedside and said hoarsely, "Mom, how are you feeling now?"

Evelyn opened her eyes and saw Phoebe's tears brimming. She sighed, "I'm fine, don't worry. Why are you crying?"

"I was worried about you." Phoebe wiped her eyes.

Evelyn reached out and patted her hand. Seeing Ruby there as well, she became

concerned, "Both of you are at the hospital, what about the kids?"

"Mom, Theodore is here." Phoebe lowered her voice to remind her.

Evelyn tightly closed her mouth and nervously turned her head to look, seeing Theodore walking towards the bedside. "Phoebe, you take Evelyn to the ward first. I'll handle things here."

"Okay." Phoebe signaled to Keith to stay and keep an eye on things so he could inform her if anything happened.

Phoebe and Ruby followed the bed to the upstairs ward and settled Evelyn in. After the nurse left, Phoebe began to feel uneasy.

Ruby walked over to her, "Phoebe, what are you worried about?"

Phoebe looked back and saw that Evelyn was already asleep. She lowered her voice, "What do you think Theodore would do if he found out I had triplets?"

Ruby's expression was complicated, "I... I don't know."

Phoebe sighed, "Forget it. If he finds out, maybe he'll stay far away from me and never appear in front of me again."

"Phoebe..." Ruby began but then swallowed her words.

She could see that Theodore still had feelings for Phoebe. If they could remarry, it would be a happy ending for everyone.

But what about the kids?

Theodore was a possessive man. Knowing that Phoebe had children with another man would be enough to torment him for a lifetime.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the ward door. The two turned to see Theodore entering. Ruby quickly said, "My hands are covered in blood, I'll go wash them."

With that, Ruby quickly left the ward, leaving Phoebe no time to stop her.

Seeing Ruby thoughtfully close the door, Phoebe felt helpless. Ruby had run off so quickly. "Is everything handled?"

Theodore glanced at the bed, seeing Evelyn asleep, then turned his gaze to Phoebe and gave a faint "hmm."

"Thank you. It's a good thing you were here today to resolve things so quickly." Phoebe sincerely thanked him.

Theodore narrowed his eyes and slowly walked up to her, looking down at her, "Besides this, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Phoebe frowned, "What else?"

Theodore stared at her for a long time before letting out a mocking laugh, "Phoebe, will I never hear a single truth from you in this lifetime?"

Phoebe stared at him blankly, her eyes drawn to the bite mark on his collarbone. She was silent for so long that Theodore finally lost his patience and turned to leave.

Phoebe instinctively felt he knew something. Her feet felt like they were made of lead, keeping her rooted to the spot. It wasn't until Theodore walked out of the ward without looking back and disappeared from her sight that she leaned against the window frame, gasping for air.

Did Theodore know about the triplets?

After a while, Keith peeked in from the doorway. Seeing only Phoebe and the sleeping Evelyn in the ward, he quickly walked in.

"Ms. Ziegler, I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?" Keith asked urgently.

Phoebe felt for her phone and realized it wasn't on her. It must be in her bag. She looked around but couldn't find her bag.

She recalled that she had probably left her bag in Theodore's car.

She slapped her forehead. She had been so flustered earlier that she forgot to take hernoveldrama

bag.

"My phone isn't on me. Keith, what happened after we left?" Phoebe asked urgently. Theodore's attitude had been strange earlier.

His emotions weren't intense, but that was what made it scary.

Keith recounted how Theodore had dealt with those people after they left, ending with Aubrey forcing his wife to apologize.

Clio felt particularly wronged and said, "Mr. Reynolds, I really didn't know I was bumping into your mother-in-law. She was dressed in cheap clothes and always playing with triplets in the neighborhood. I thought she was a nanny hired by a wealthy family."

"What did you just say?" Theodore's face instantly turned serious.

"I said I thought she was a nanny," Clio said tremblingly, feeling as if Theodore's

piercing gaze could cut right through her.

Theodore said sternly, "Not that sentence."

"Which one then?" Clio's legs shook. She had been apologizing properly, so how did she provoke him?

Sensing the situation was bad, Aubrey slapped Clio hard, knocking her to the ground and causing her mouth to swell immediately.

"You can't even apologize properly. Mr. Reynolds, she doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive her."

Theodore glared at Clio, "You just said my mother-in-law is always with triplets. Are you sure those are their triplets?"

"Of course, I'm sure. I thought Mrs. Reynolds was some rich person's kept woman..." She hadn't finished speaking when Aubrey kicked her, "Shut up!" Aubrey quickly pleaded with Theodore, "Mr. Reynolds, don't listen to her nonsense. Mrs. Reynolds is such a beautiful lady, clearly well-educated."

Theodore staggered back a step, and many previously overlooked details flooded his mind.

Especially the photo he saw on Carol's phone. He had sensed something was off at the time but hadn't thought deeply about it.

Even though the triplets' features were strikingly similar to Phoebe's, he hadn't connected her with the triplets.

He had never considered that Phoebe might have been pregnant!
