Chapter 24 Please Come Back
Dr. Nolan’s words landed on Maeve’s heart like a detonating bomb. Within Maeve,
various speculations whispered their voices. How much did Dr. Nolan reveal, and when did
Theo know the truth?
She could only force a smile as she shot a penetrating gaze at Dr. Nolan “What are
you saying? I don’t understand!”
“Even at this point, you refuse to speak the truth?” Theo furrowed his brows impatiently
But for Maeve, she was unable to admit any of her past actions no matter what “Theo,
you have to believe me. Believe that my love for you runs deep in my bones” She choked
out, her tears streaming
As tears cascaded down her face, her pitiful look could easily stir a protective instinct
within others. But Theo coldly observed her performance
“Theo, can you trust me? I genuinely don’t know who that man in the bed was I am
also a victim!” Maeve’s tears flowed like rain evoking sympathy and making it difficult to
blame her
However, Theo merely cast a cool glance at her
believe you”
“Really?” She immediately halted her tears ifting her head in astonishment
“Yes, I believe that you have no connection with the man in the bed Because that
person was a vagrant I especially sought out for your Finding that vagrant required
considerable effort on Ezra’s part. After all, locating someone with a figure and silhouette
similar to Theos was no easy task
In an instant, Maeve was taken aback. What did he just say?
“You ask for it. But you know what? I really feel sorry for that vagrant Because he
never know he had a night with someone as malicious as you‘ Theo’s tone dripped with
merciless sarcasm. He hated Maeve to the core now How could he have any desire to
touch her again?
Maeve stood there in astonishment, her mouth agape as she stared at Theo After a
long daze, she finally found her voice. “Theo, why are you treating me this way? You know, I
truly love you!” Her voice quivered, disbelief etched across her face She couldn’t fathom that the person who had been affectionately soothing her last night was now pushing her
into the depths of hell.
“Do you really not know? Didn’t you say you had uremia? Then why are you still able to drink alcohol? And why did Cecilia suddenly appear in my bed back then?”
“Cecilia having only one kidney, I’m sure you already knew that, right?”

“You’ve done many wrong things. It’s you who drugged Cecilia back then Do you want me to list them one by one?” Theo’s eyes flashed with coldness as he questioned Marve
1 know everything you’ve done. Maeve, you truly make me feel utterly disgusted”
“Miss Payne, I’m sorry, I can’t continue doing wrong things. I’ve already told Mr. Heimann everything. It’s time for you to confess
Maeve, on the verge of breakdown, mumbled incoherently However, Theo no longer glanced at her, turning around and getting into the car, driving away
One year later, at the cemetery
Cecilia in the photo still wore a warm smile Theo silently stared at it for a long time.
his fingers gently caressing every inch of the photo
He had thought that after a year had passed, he would be able to let go of the past
But little did he know longing grew wildly like weeds, quickly spreading throughout his
heart. Theo kept his gaze fixed on the photo, unwilling to leave even for a second This
woman appeared in his dreams every night, and every time he woke up he was consumed
by extreme heartache
“Ceci, I know I was wrong I’m willing to pay any price Just come back Theo, at this
moment, let go of all pretenses and looked at the person in the photo with affectionate
eyes. This woman was his beloved
