Chapter: 232
“Where did you find my bag?” Ariana asked in surprise and delight. She was certain the bag had been
burnt in the explosion.
Just then, Horace appeared and happened to hear Ariana’s question. He answered briskly, “The police
came and said the bag was flung outside the range of the explosion, so it was still intact. They were the
ones who brought it to us.”
Ariana quickly looked through her bag and felt guilty when she saw the paper envelope inside. She
cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, trying her best to be casual. “Has anyone touched my bag?
The zipper seems to be broken.”
“It was like that when it arrived. No one touched it. It must have been damaged during the crash,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHorace replied naturally. He was experienced and could tell what Ariana was worried about. He
pretended to be ignorant and answered all her questions. He was really good at acting.
Ariana was relieved by his answers and smiled. “Oh, | see. I’ll use this bag again after I get it fixed.”
Horace smiled in agreement and remained silent. Meanwhile, Theodore’s face was becoming grimmer.
Horace helped to book a private plane back to Eleymond for Ariana, Theodore, dozens of bodyguards,
and himself.
Ariana was finding a chance to talk to Theodore, but he didn’t want to talk. Even if he did, he was plain
sarcastic.
Ariana felt discouraged by his behavior throughout the journey home. She racked her brains but
couldn’t think of a way to lift his mood.
She knew that patients were typically sensitive about how others treated them. She had to comfort him,
but not in an obvious manner.
When they finally arrived at the Anderson family’s residence, Judy was already waiting by the door. As
soon as Ariana got out of the car, she rushed up and hugged Judy. “Judy, long time no see. I miss you
so much,” she exclaimed.
Judy was also elated by their reunion. However, there was a trace of guilt in her eyes.
Just as Ariana was wondering what was wrong, a girl in white ran over and pounced on Theodore,
shouting, “Theodore!”
Ariana recognized the girl in white as Helen. She had met her once in Mercy Hospital, and Helen was
the only one who would call Theodore in such a sweet tone.
She was curious about Helen’s appearance in the Anderson family’s house. Did Theodore ask her to
come?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Ariana’s mood turned sour. She felt as if reality had given her a slap across the face.
Although she knew she shouldn’t be bothered about Helen’s appearance, Ariana couldn’t help asking,
“Why is she here?”
Theodore glanced indifferently at Ariana, who was frowning and sneered. It was late for her to be
anxious.
He said disdainfully, “This is my house. Why should I explain my actions to you?”
He then turned to Helen and asked gently, “Have you made yourself at home?”
Helen felt flattered and replied warmly, “Yes! I’ve accustomed myself here. Your house is so
comfortable. I feel my health has improved a lot.”
“Great. You can call Judy if you need anything.”
