Chapter: 231
As soon as they were out, Ariana asked, “What's wrong with your boss? He was fine just now. How did his mood plunge so suddenly? Did something happen in Eleymond? Otherwise, why would he be so eager to head back? He hasn’t even fully recovered.”
Horace really wanted to yell at her and tell her it was all because she had that divorce agreement in her bag.
He wanted to shake Ariana sober and tell her that she couldn't divorce just because she wanted to. Besides, judging from his boss's attitude, he would never let her go so easily.
However, Horace was in no position to do so. Instead, he sighed and said earnestly, “The attending doctor came in and reviewed the diagnosis on Mr. Anderson’s legs. It appears that there was a misdiagnosis. Apparently, the crash had worsened his original injury, and it might be difficult for him to stand up again.”
Ariana was shocked by the news and gasped, “What did you say?” ©
Ariana was worried about Theodore’s condition worsening. She stormed off to the attending doctor and demanded, “Why is there a new diagnosis? You told us yesterday that Theodore would be able to stand up again soon, but today you claim that he could never stand up again. Are you taking us as fools?”
The doctor felt helpless as he was just following Theodore’s instructions. He felt aggrieved, but he dared not go against Theodore’s orders. He felt that he was suffering because of this couple. Theodore had to change the diagnosis every day.
The doctor wished they would leave this hospital as soon as possible. If he continued receiving such pressure from the couple, he was afraid that he would be admitted to the hospital from stress. “We need a valid explanation. What's wrong with Theodore’s injury?” Ariana asked seriously.
The doctor pushed up his glasses and said frantically, “Mrs. Anderson, I’m really sorry. We have limited equipment in the hospital, and most are old. It’s easy to make a false diagnosis. | heard that there are specialists down at Eleymond that are more suitable to treat Mr. Anderson’s injuries. We have already referred him to the hospital there.”
Hearing this, Ariana had nothing to say but to give up. She returned to the ward, dejected. In the ward, Theodore was staring out the window in a daze, seemingly in a bad mood.
Ariana felt both sorry and sad when she saw him like this. She slowly approached him and whispered, “Don’t sit by the window. It's cold.”
Theodore glanced at her and said nothing.
Ariana knew he was having a hard time, so she tried to be more patient with him.
She took a blanket and carefully placed it over his legs as she consoled him, “Okay, you can sit there if you like. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
Theodore got more annoyed when Ariana was being patient and taking care of his needs. He recalled the divorce agreement, and his temper rose. “Stop it. Leave me alone,” he said impatiently.
Ariana felt hurt by Theodore’s indifference. It seemed their relationship was back to square one. He was just as guarded as before. It was as if there were thorns all over him, and every time Ariana got close, he would hurt her.
“Pine, I’m going to pack my things.” Ariana felt depressed and started putting her things into her duffel absentmindedly.
Suddenly, she noticed that the bag she had lost in the car crash was sitting on a nearby cabinet.
