Chasing My Pregnant Wife

-

Theodore took Chelsea out for almost half an hour before returning. He wanted to see how Rosalie and Jake were doing.

Yet, when he arrived at the door, he saw that Rosalie had collapsed on the floor.

"Rose!"

Theodore put Chelsea down and ran toward Rosalie, carrying her up in his arms.

Rosalie's brows were tightly knitted. She was barely conscious, sweat beading on her forehead.

"Mommy, Mommy!" Chelsea was frightened to see her mom in such a state.

Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened. Jake heard the commotion and came out, only to see Rosalie on the floor. He was utterly shocked.

Theodore yelled at Jake, "What did you do?"

Jake stood stunned. He knew nothing, since he was hiding in his room all the while. He thought Rosalie had left when he didn't hear her voice anymore.

Rosalie opened her eyes and grabbed Theodore's arm, saying weakly, "Nothing to do with him."

"Rose, I'll take you to the hospital." Theodore carried Rosalie in his arms and stood up in a panic.

At that moment, all his anger and resentment vanished without a trace.

Rosalie was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, where Theodore

received devastating news.

Rosalie was suffering from liver failure.

She had been suffering from it for a long time but never received treatment for it, allowing her condition to worsen with time.

The only solution was a liver transplant.

Theodore sat by Rosalie's side, fatigue washing over him as he held her hand.

Chelsea sat on the couch, hugging a teddy bear, her eyes slightly swollen.

Rosalie slowly opened her eyes, her face looking sallow and haggard. "Theo, where is Jake?"

"Rose, you're awake," Theodore said. "Jake is fine. He's at home. How are you feeling?"

Rosalei said weakly, "I'm fine. I want to see Jake. I have things to tell him."

She made a move to get out of bed.

"Mommy!" Chelsea ran over and started crying. "Mommy, you're sick. Don't move, you need to treat your illness."

"What am I down with?"

The look in Theodore's eyes was heavy. "The doctor said that you have liver failure and need a liver transplant. You're already at the front of the waitlist. If there's a match for a liver, you'll be the first to get a transplant."

"What...what did you say?" Rosalie said, shocked. "How...how could this be?"

She had been feeling unwell, but she always thought that she could bear with the pain and things would be fine.noveldrama

What's more, she couldn't afford to

rest. The moment she did, someone would snatch her position away. Competition was fierce, and the pressure was on. Many pairs of eyes were staring at her, waiting for her to fail. sŵnovel

But now, Theodore was telling her that she was suffering from liver failure.

She suddenly burst laughing. "Is this retribution? For abandoning my child and causing Justin's death."

"Don't talk nonsense," Theodore said,

upset. "Rose, what you need right

now is medical treatment. Don't

worry, I'll definitely find a suitable

liver for you. You'll be fine, you'll see."

"Theo," Rosalie said as tears streamed down her face. "If I die, can you please take care of Chelsea?"

She didn't have anyone else she could trust aside from Theodore. If she truly were to die, he was the only one he could entrust her child with.

"Mommy, you won't die," Chelsea said, sprawled on the bed. She hugged Rosalie through the sheets and said through her tears, "Mommy, you'll be fine. Please don't leave me."

Rosalie lifted a hand and gently caressed Chelsea's head. "Chelsea, I'll try my best to get well, but if something bad were to happen to Mommy, you must listen to Mr. Spencer."

Theodore couldn't bring himself to reject Rosalie. If something untoward were to happen to Rosalie, he couldn't possibly stand idly by and watch Chelsea become an orphan.

Yet, he didn't want to say yes to Rosalie. What if she gave up on her treatment after he said yes to her?
