NovelEnglish"Rose, what happened to the baby? What's wrong?" Sydney asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mom, the doctor said my cervix is weakened, so I need to undergo a cervical cerclage procedure." Sydney sounded somewhat angry. "You should have toldabout such a serious matter earlier!" "I only found out today, and you weren't answering my calls." Sydney sighed all of a sudden. "You said the surgery is the day after tomorrow, right?" "Yes, it's the day after tomorrow. Can you tellwhere Theo is?" Rosalie was on the verge of crying again as she spoke.
Sydney replied, "Rose, I wasn't answering your calls because I knew you would ask about Theo. I couldn't lie to you and say I didn't know." "Mom, so you do know how Theo is now? Is he alive or dead? Please, tell me." Sydney was silent for a long time, seeming hesitant, but Rosalie's anxious voice made her relent.
"He's still alive, but his injuries are serious. He barely survived. The doctor said that when he was brought to the hospital, he had an arrow lodged in his chest, piercing through from the front to the back." Rosalie covered her mouth, almost crying out loud. She could imagine the scene vividly.
She had dreamed that Theodore was wounded in the chest, bleeding heavily. It turned out that all of it was true. Rosalie could barely stand. She took a deep breath, and wiped away her tears.

Sydney replied, "We received a call from the hospital and went there. By then, he was already at the hospital. We don't know who brought him there." Rosalie was astonished. Given Theodore's condition, if his family didn't rescue him, who could have taken him to the hospital? Could it have been the kidnapper? But if the kidnapper wanted to harm him, why would they save him? Rosalie couldn't understand, but who else could it be besides the kidnapper? "How is he now?" Rosalie asked. "Is he okay?" "He's alive, but he can't be discharged yet. I wanted to tell you at first, but Theo insisted that we not contact you." "Mom, what did Theo say to you?" "He forbade us from telling you about his condition. His attitude was very resolute at that time, so neither Wesley nor I said anything. We also kept it from your grandmother. wasn't sure how she would handle it if she knew Theo was injured." "Mom, not telling Grandma was the right thing to do. I'm glad you didn't tell her."
Sydney said, "Don't worry too much right now. Theo is still alive, and will get better with time. Focus on your surgery, and we can talk about everything else later." "Mom, I want to see him. Which hospital is he in? I want to visit him."
"It's better if you don't go. I don't know what happened between you two, but Theo doesn't want to see you right now. He looks very..." Sydney paused. Rosalie asked, "He looks very what?" Sydney continued, "He looks like he lost all hope."
Rosalie finally couldn't hold back her tears. She ran to the empty room next door, closing and locking the E door behind her. "Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault! I'm so sorry."
