Chapter 2094

Caleb was surprised that Rachel could have been so calm in all of this.

Even Theo was a little stunned by this. He was silent for a short while before finally saying in a hoarse
voice. “There’s no need for that. I’ll find her a burial place myself, and I’ll pay you back for the funeral
service out of my pocket too.”

Then, he let out a sigh as he glanced at Rachel. “I hadn’t wanted you to pay me back at all for the portrait
I painted of you; I had done that of my own accord.

“Please, keep it as a gift from me.”

“No need,” Rachel interrupted him curtly. “I never accept gifts from strangers. You should know that
whenever I receive gifts from people I don’t know, I’d either throw them away or pay them back for their
kindness. “However, because the paintings are all of me, I don’t intend on throwing them away, so I want
to pay you back for your effort.” She yawned and continued impassively, “Please don’t reject my offer
anymore, Mr. Allen. Otherwise, it’ll put me in a very difficult position.” Then, she picked up the plastic bag
of bloodstained clothes on the floor next to her and asked, “These must be Ms. Jacobs’ belongings,
right?” She glanced at the nurse. “Let’s go.” The nurse nodded, then wheeled the bed out of the room
behind Rachel.

In a split second, the only two people left in the room were Caleb and Theo. “I guess there’s no need for
me to help you anymore,” Caleb said, yawning, with a sneer on his lips. “Dr. Liddell and I have known
each other for a very long time now, so I’m speaking from experience when I say that as soon as she
locks you out of her heart, you won’t be able to get in anymore. “If this is your decision, Theo, then I
admire your bravery.”

With that, he turned and left.



Theo remained motionless, clenching his fists as he watched Rachel and the nurse walk down the
hallway.

Rachel had called him…a stranger. Not only that, but she had even referred to Roanne as his girlfriend.
A bitter smile crept across Theo’s face. Maybe it was right of him to give Roanne a status. After all, the
only thing she had wanted in her short life was to be with him.

“I can’t believe him!” Luna snapped, her arms crossed in front of her chest as soon as she got

into the car.

Initially, she had tried to understand Theo’s point of view. After all, anyone would be grieving if they
watched someone die right in front of their eyes.

However, it was one thing to pity Roanne for her demise, but another thing entirely to make this into a
huge drama.

Not only had he broken up with Dr. Liddell, but he even blamed Joshua for Roanne’s death.

It was as though everyone in this world had something to do with her death.

From the many years of knowing him, Luna had always thought Theo was a mature and level – headed
man, but why did he seem to have been put under a spell suddenly?

“Maybe he’s guilty of her death,” said Joshua as he was typing on his phone. “Maybe he’ll calm down
after he’s had some time to sit with this.” Luna sighed. “I certainly hope so, but I can’t understand this at
all. When Roanne was still alive, Theo hadn’t liked her back at all, nor had he ever seemed to care about
her. He had been pursuing Dr. Liddell all this while, but why did he suddenly…”
