Theodore took his original pills to a pharmaceutical quality testing laboratory. He knew someone from there who did a composition analysis on the pills.
The results showed that it was a legitimate psychoactive drug prescribed by the hospital and there were no issues with it.
Theodore wanted to test the pills because he suspected that someone switched out the pills, but based on the test results, the pills were exactly what the doctor had previously prescribed.
Perhaps he was overthinking.
He had been exceeding the dosage during this period. The doctor had reminded him about the strong side effects of the pill and warned him to strictly follow his instructions, but he didn't heed the doctor's orders. He deserved whatever happened to him.
For a long time, he had been relying on medication to maintain his mental state, which was hanging by a thread. Otherwise, the thought of death was always haunting him.
Theodore drove back home.
Upon hearing his car, Aurora immediately ran out.
Theodore walked over with a cold look. "We…we need to talk."
"If you're talking about last night, it's alright, I can pretend nothing happened. Don't feel burdened in any way. I won't ask you to take responsibility, either. I won't tell anyone about it," Aurora said.
Aurora was very worried that Theodore might feel burdened and wanted to be the first to assure him of it. However, Theodore's face didn't change much and he continued looking coldly at her.
"Theo, what's the matter? Do you feel unwell? Or do you feel burdened in any way? Just tell me about it and we can solve it together. I don't need you to take responsibility."
"Aurora, I took you as Rose last night," Theodore said icily without any hint of warmth. "You know that better than I do, right?"
He only remembered seeing Rosalie last night. Even if it was an illusion, that was the only memory he had of last night.
"Theo, you're so cruel," Aurora said as she started sobbing.
"I am cruel, and a bastard at that. You should have known that a long time ago."
Theodore had no choice but to act cold-hearted to dash all of Aurora's hopes.
"I will continue having my men search for your ex-boyfriend and sending bodyguards to protect you at your house. You won't be harmed, but you can't stay here any longer. Please leave."
With that, he stuffed the check in her hands and walked into the villa, not caring whether she wanted the money or not.
The check drifted in the wind from Aurora's hand to the ground.
