Theodore almost choked. He looked at her, speechless. He said, “I don’t understand why the hell you
would think that.”
His tone irritated her so, not to be outdone, Ariana retorted hotly, “I haven’t even said anything to scold
you! You’re always so sarcastic. I don’t even know how to talk to you sometimes.”
“I’m sarcastic? Give me an example.” Theodore was so infuriated that he laughed and stared at her
pointedly. His expression obviously warned her not to say another word, or he’d kill her.
Ariana immediately gave in. She lowered her eyes and said insipidly, “I can’t remember. I’ll tell you if I
think of one.”
Theodore opened his mouth to say something else, but Horace and the doctor entered the room at that
moment.
Ariana instantly diverted her attention to them and asked, “Doctor, how are his legs? Is he okay? Is it

The doctor glanced at Horace with a strange expression. He faced Ariana’s hopeful eyes, decided to
bite the bullet, and said, “The patient’s legs are seriously injured.”
The expectation in Ariana’s eyes dulled, and her shoulders drooped in disappointment.
“But…”
Ariana’s head jerked up as he spoke again, and she became hopeful. “But?”
The doctor let out an awkward, strained laugh and said, “But this operation happened to cure any
remaining problems. As long as the patient goes through successful physiotherapy, there’s a chance
for a full recovery.” @
Ariana beamed with joy. She turned to Theodore and exclaimed cheerfully, “Did you hear that? There’s
a chance for a full recovery! That means you can’t slack off this time. You have to work hard in the
therapy, in case something like this happens again.”
Theodore nodded meekly. “I know.”
“The patient needs to rest in the hospital for at least two more weeks. His family must come with me to
go through the admission procedures.” The doctor didn’t say anything more and asked Ariana to go
through all the necessary formalities with him.
Ariana agreed and followed the doctor out.
It was only Horace and Theodore left in the ward. Horace looked at his boss, who couldn’t move, and
asked cautiously, “You pretended to be disabled so that Darian and Jasper could relax their vigilance
and you could have time to find their weakness.
The plan has only been carried out halfway through. Why are you suddenly changing your mind and
using this chance to drop the act now? Is it because of Ms. Edwards?”
Theodore looked at Horace and snapped, “What? Did you hurt your brain? Don’t you know what you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshould call her?”
Horace immediately understood what his boss meant and changed the way he addressed Ariana. “I’m
sorry. I meant Mrs. Anderson.”
Theodore looked satisfied. He huffed, “Good. Since she wants me to recover so badly, why not satisfy
her? Besides, it’s really inconvenient to be stuck in a wheelchair all the time.”
“But what about Darian and Jasper?” Horace was concerned about their original plan.
Theodore shrugged and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I have other ways to deal with them.”
After considering it for a while, Horace asked, “Since you have already accepted Ariana as your wife,
when will you let her know about the Fredrick family and let her meet your grandfather? Mr. Fredrick
has been urging me many times in private. He’s been looking forward to meeting his granddaughter-in-
law.” @
Theodore went quiet for a while, thinking. Then he said, “There’s no rush. I’ll talk to Grandpa myself.”
