Chapter: 687
Now, Ariana’s memory resurfaced, recalling instances at Mercy Hospital where the doctors showed all
their respect to Theodore.
Theodore’s ties to Mercy Hospital raised eyebrows!
Ariana’s mind turned into a Labyrinth of confusion as she grappled with the tangled mess before her. It
was as if a whirlwind had swept in, bringing together a motley crew of unrelated individuals and
circumstances.
Lost amidst this intricate web, Ariana found herself at a loss on how to navigate the situation.
Just as she was entangled in her thoughts, Mitchel interjected once more, his tone serious as he said,
“Unraveling the specific symptoms this drug targets will take time, but its primary ingredients,
cyproheptadine II and cyproheptadine III, possess a calming effect.”
Mitchel continued, his words carrying weight, “Although we are currently uncertain about the precise
ailments this medication aims to address, similar drugs are typically employed to combat common
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtillusions or hallucinations induced by toxic agents in the market.”
Illusions or hallucinations? These words caused Ariana’s heart to skip a beat as she thought back at
Theodore’s peculiar state during his illness.
No matter how much she called him, he remained motionless. Could it be… that he was trapped in a
realm of hallucinations?
This realization stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within Ariana, leaving her in a state of profound
perplexity.
Curious, Mitchel inquired, “Who is the intended recipient of this medicine?”
His question interrupted Ariana’s train of thought. Ariana glanced at Mitchel, her heart filled with
hesitation.
Mitchel assisted her to figure out the origin and components of this medication. While it was Logical
that he deserved to know, considering Theodore’s current condition and the strained relationship
between the two, she couldn’t overlook the fact that Theodore had previously Lashed out at Mitchel.
Even she ignored their grievances momentarily, Horace’s reluctance to divulge any information and
Theodore’s avoidance of the matter also played a part in Ariana’s internal struggle.
After wrestling with her thoughts, Ariana shook her head and replied, “I apologize, but I cannot disclose
that information at this time.”
Mitchel refrained from pressing the matter further, simply nodding in acknowledgment. “Respecting
patient privacy is an admirable trait. I just wanted to caution you that medications of this nature often
carry side effects and the potential for dependency and addiction.”
It dawned on Ariana why Horace had mentioned Theodore’s addiction issues. It seemed he had been
reliant on this medication for quite some time.
Concern etched on her face, Ariana couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “What happens if the patient stops
taking the medication abruptly?”
“Abrupt cessation of this medication can trigger mood disturbances such as extreme shifts in
personality, paranoia, and irritability.”
Mitchel’s response was disconcerting. Receiving this answer, Ariana’s mind immediately connected
Theodore’s erratic behavior and peculiar displays. After a brief pause, she tentatively ventured, “Could

the withdrawal reactions from the drug be responsible for extreme possessiveness or controlling
tendencies?”
Pondering for a moment, Mitchel nodded in contemplation. “It is indeed plausible. Ordinary individuals
may experience some negative and eccentric emotions and desires, but they typically remain within
manageable boundaries. However, the components of this medication disrupt self-control, eradicating
emotional boundaries and amplifying existing negative emotions.”
As Mitchel spoke, Ariana began to piece together the puzzle.
Theodore’s automatic response in the hospital when he retrieved the medication hinted at a long-
standing reliance and the likelihood of numerous side effects.
And when Horace saw this medicine, he repeatedly implored Theodore not to take it, indicating that
they were already aware of its severe adverse effects and that Theodore had already developed a
dependence and addiction to it, so he was very Likely to be withdrawing from it now.
Could Theodore’s previous behavior, his surveillance methods, control desires, and extreme actions all
be attributed to the medication, causing him to Lose control completely?
And judging by Mitchel’s tone, the side effects of this medication should be highly dangerous. And yet,
Theodore never truly harmed her.
