Chapter 615
Ariana interjected, “It’s not his fault.
I requested him to bring me here.
He didn’t cause my injuries.
I fell because I’m not used to the wheelchair.
”
Ariana felt a pang of guilt, seeing Mitchel at the receiving end of Theodore’s anger.
She felt compelled to defend him.
Theodore’s fury simmered beneath the surface as he watched Ariana come to Mitchel’s defense.
His words were laced with icy sarcasm, “Really? Then I suppose I should thank Dr.
Chadwick?”
Mitchel was taken aback, “Mr.
Anderson, if you genuinely care for Ariana, let me examine her wound.
”
To Theodore, this sounded more like a challenge.
“Like I said before, it’s none of your concern.
She has been transferred to another hospital,” he retorted dismissively.
Ariana, unable to hold back her anger, demanded of Theodore, “When did you arrange this transfer? Why wasn’t I informed?”
Theodore’s face betrayed a flash of discomfort, “I have arranged for Eleymond’s best physician to attend to you.
Your foot will heal in no time.
”
He stroked her hair gently to comfort her.
“Judy has been appointed to look after you.
She has been missing you dearly.
”
Biting back her frustration, Ariana cut him off, “Theodore, don’t you understand why things turned out this way? When will you realize that I’m my own person?
You can’t keep making decisions for me without my consent.
When will you stop trying to control every aspect of my life? Can’t you consult with me before you make such arrangements?”
Caught off guard, Theodore stammered, “Let’s get out of here.
”
He wished to keep their deteriorating relationship a secret from the prying eyes, especially from Mitchel.
He couldn’t afford to give Mitchel a chance to exploit their issues.
Slowly, he started to push Ariana’s wheelchair away.
“Hold on!” Mitchel intervened, gripping the handles of the wheelchair.
He faced Theodore.
“Mr.
Anderson, didn’t you catch what Miss Edwards just said? She doesn’t want to leave with you.

Completely exasperated, Theodore grabbed the front of Mitchel’s shirt, warning him, “Steer clear of other people’s family matters.
I’ve already said that Ariana is my wife, and you are an outsider.
Stick to your own business.
”
Theodore’s aggression startled Ariana, prompting her to cry out, “Theodore, what are you doing?”
Mitchel raised an eyebrow, taunting, “Feeling threatened, Mr.
Anderson?”
The veins on Theodore’s hand popped out in rage.
He glared at Mitchel, “Keep your ill intentions to yourself, Mitchel, or even your family won’t be able to save you.
”
Witnessing the brewing altercation, Ariana cried out in distress, “Theodore, I swear if you strike again, I won’t ever forgive you!”
Theodore swiveled, shock mirrored on his face.
“How can you utter such stinging words for me over a man you’ve known for mere days?”
When Ariana’s gaze met Theodore’s, a pang of guilt washed over her.
Her words were a product of her anxiety.
