Chapter 2268
Theo receded as though his body was out of strength after hearing what Rachel said. While he did, Caleb quickly grabbed Rachel and walked past him before leaving altogether.
All the time, Theo’s eyes had been focused on Rachel, but she never once turned to look at him …not even once.
His heart felt so crushed like it had been slammed by a heavy hammer.
Looking at how dreadful Theo was, Joshua and Luna looked at each other. Just when they were about to walk over, a small figure dashed over before them.
It was Neil.
The boy reached out and grabbed Theo’s hand.
“Don’t be sad, Uncle Theo. You still have me.”
The young-sounding voice startled Theo, making him look down unconsciously. Neil, in return, looked at him with clear doe eyes.
“Uncle Theo, Mommy had told me what happened between you and Aunt Rachel. I know you were wrong, but you still have a chance to save your relationship before Aunt Rachel gets married. Don’t give up so easily,” he spoke, all while he grabbed Theo’s hand tightly.
“All of us will help you, just like when you helped me when I lost my memory.”
When Neil lost his memory, Theo believed wholeheartedly that Neil would get better. That was why he endured being with Aura, endured all the whippings she gave him.
It had been a while since Neil was with them that she almost forgot the relationship between Neil and Theo. They shared a bond stronger than what Luna and Theo had. Despite the large age gap, Theo and Neil had endured even life and death together. Joshua pulled Luna into his arms and whispered in a volume that only Luna could hear, “I think Neil just made a promise on our behalf.”
Luna paused and recapped back what Neil told Theo.
“All of us will help you.”
She looked at Neil helplessly, and coincidentally, Neil, too, was looking at her with his watery eyes. It was as if he would cry if Luna disagreed. However, the thing with helping Theo get Rachel back…
Luna, in truth, was reluctant to help. She and Bonnie had tried talking Theo out of this mistake many times, but he persisted willfully, causing him the consequences he was facing at this moment.
She really did not feel like helping Theo anymore, but her three children were too fond of Theo.
