章 93: The seductive interruption

After some time, the nurse came and took Selena away for the tests. Bella, her eyes brimming with gratitude, turned to Theodore and thanked him once more.

"You are my wife," Theodore interrupted. "Your mom is my mom. Taking care of her is my duty. So don't thank me."

His words made Bella's heart swell with even more affection. She was astonished that someone could be so kind and selfless. Overwhelmed with emotion, she felt tears welling up.

"Why are you crying now?" Theodore asked softly, cupping her face and gently wiping her tears away.

"I'm just overwhelmed," Bella confessed, blinking back her tears. "For the past year, I've been struggling to find the money for Mamma's treatment. I used to work two jobs before joining Brico. When the doctor said she needed a transplant, I never thought I'd be able to afford her surgery. But then you appeared and changed everything."
