Chapter 585
Chapter: 585
In the past, he had realized that Tyler had a crush on Ariana, but he didn’t take it seriously. But for some reason, this male doctor he had only met once scared him a little. This strange feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Also, when Ariana and the doctor saw him enter, they looked at each other and fell silent almost instantly, as if there was a secret between them.
Theodore gave them a fake smile. Although he tried to sound nice, his tone was cold when he spoke. “Dr. Chadwick, what are you talking about with my wife? She seems to be very happy to chat with you.”
Mitchel didn’t seem to realize Theodore was really annoyed, and answered in a professional tone, “I’m telling Miss Edwards some things to do and some things to avoid in order to recover faster.”
Theodore didn’t seem to care that Mitchel called Ariana Miss Edwards instead of Mrs. Anderson. He smiled and said casually, “Thank you, but I’m her husband.
Whatever you need to tell her, you can tell me.”
Mitchel nodded and went on to tell told Theodore how many times a day he should apply medicine on Ariana’s ankle. He even showed Theodore exactly how he should massage the bruised ankle.
The doctor's professionalism soothed Theodore who became less alert. However, in spite of the fact that he had a smile on his face, his voice was still cold.
“| trust your professional skills. I'll ask my assistant to get the medicine later,” Theodore said after a while.
“Okay. If you do what | said, Miss Edwards will be well soon. If you have any questions later, you can call me. And...” Mitchel thought for a moment and added, “You should also rest more during this time. Don’t overexert yourself. Although the heavy smoke didn’t cause you any health problems this time, you still inhaled way too much of it. If you feel dizzy and tired these days, it's normal.”
“Thank you,” Theodore said calmly.
“You're welcome.” Mitchel didn’t stay any longer in the ward and left after giving the recommendations to Theodore. Horace followed the doctor to deal with the paperwork.
Theodore and Ariana were the only ones left in the ward. It had suddenly become very quiet.
Leaning against the headboard, Ariana fiddled with her phone, completely ignoring Theodore. She was very cold and had no intention of saying anything.
She clearly heard the sound of the wheelchair approaching, but she only glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Theodore was wearing a clean shirt and trousers, and didn’t have any wounds, she brought back her attention to her phone. Her only worry had been that Theodore might be injured, but now that he was fine, she could continue to ignore him.
Theodore drove his wheelchair to the bedside and the whole time, he didn’t take his eyes off Ariana. Since he entered the ward, she hadn't said a word or showed any expression. She didn’t look at him at all, yet she chatted happily with Mitchel just now.
Theodore knew he was thinking too much, but he couldn’t help it. He had a sense of crisis. Could Ariana fall for a man she had only met once?
Theodore furrowed his brow. He took Ariana’s hand and spoke softly. “Are you feeling better now?” She ignored him, her focus fixated on her phone. Though she wasn’t truly engrossed in it, she showed no response to Theodore.
Theodore’s jealousy over Mitchel intensified, but seeing her like this, he sensed something was amiss. During her previous outburst of anger, she had cried and scolded him, but she had never treated him as a stranger like this. Could it be—
He grew uneasy. Did she witness him rising from the wheelchair when she fainted?
