Chapter 2088 “Alright, I’ll do it.”
Theo let out a sigh and reached out to hug Roanne,
Roanne.” Theo’s voice was as soft as a feather. “I don’t know what would’ve happened to you
if you hadn’t met me, but all I know is that if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have ended up like this, and you
wouldn’t have gone through this suffering.”
Theo’s voice began to choke as he held Roanne’s limp body close to him. “Roanne, I never thought things would
end up like this…”
He had simply agreed to Joshua’s request when he asked him to bring Roanne over to meet Joshua
He had just tried to help Joshua and Luna convince Roanne to wash her hands of Charlotte before it was too late.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo never thought that his small actions would have had such a huge impact and even ended up costing Roanne
her life!
The memory of how Charlotte stabbed Roanne in her abdomen repeatedly haunted him like a vivid ghost.
Theo let out an exhale and cupped Roanne’s face in his hands as tears slid down his cheeks.” It’s all my fault,
Roanne.”
“Don’t blame yourself.” Roanne let out a bitter smile and said, with a hint of relief in her blank, almost lifeless stare,
“Theo, I…had done plenty of bad things in the past, even though I knew it was the wrong thing to do.
“That was because before knowing you, I thought that I owed my life to Charlotte, and therefore I had to do
everything she said.
“In Charlotte’s words, I was nothing but a timid little runt.
“Because she had given me the best thing anyone could ever have-freedom – I had to repay my gratitude by
obeying her every command and hanging onto her every word, but Theo…”
She reached out to gently stroke Theo’s pale face. “After knowing you, it was the first time I had ever wanted to live
my own life.
“I wanted to survive and find a way to escape so that we could be together and that I could
finally experience something that a normal girl my age would…”
Roanne paused for a moment before finally spitting out the final word, “Love.” Then, she smiled and glanced at
Theo. “Please don’t blame yourself for my death. This wasn’t your fault at all.
“If it hadn’t been you, I probably would’ve met someone else and ended up betraying Charlotte anyway. Being killed
by her was written in my fate long ago.
That’s because going down the wrong path has always been a one-way journey, and it wasn’t your fault that I
committed these mistakes and suffered this fate. Do you understand?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA twinge of pain shot through Theo’s heart upon hearing this.
He let out a sigh and lifted his head to stare intently at Roanne, then said in a choked voice,” That’s one way to put
it.”
Still…he could not seem to forgive himself.
Roanne smiled as though she could see right through him. “If you really feel guilty about this, you should leave all
your doubts behind and kiss me one last time.”
A bitter smile crept across her face. “This is probably the first and last time in my life that I’ve ever made such a
shameless request.”
The color drained from Theo’s face.
He fell silent for a moment, then cupped Roanne’s face and lowered his face toward hers…
His trembling lips inched closer and closer to her pale, almost colorless ones.
Just as their lips were about to touch
Beep-! The deafening sound of the beeping medical equipment echoed through the room.
