Soon, a voice answered on the other end, and he heard the innocent tone of Helen saying, "Oh, Theodore, you remembered my number! I'm so glad. What's going on? Why did you call me? Is everything all right?”

Theodore's tone turned icy as he said, "I know it's you who has taken her. Release her immediately, and I may consider letting go of the wrong you have done.”

Feigning ignorance, Helen used her innocent voice to respond, “Theodore, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Her? Who are you referring to?"

"Helen, my patience is wearing thin!" Theodore warned, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

Yet, Helen continued in her self-absorbed demeanor, “You're truly ruthless, Theodore! Despite my love for you, you replaced my heart with a faulty one. But I suppose it doesn’t matter. As Long as it comes from you, I don't mind. After all, there's still a place for me in your heart, right?"
