Chapter 837
Observing Aldus’s haggard appearance and white hair, Theodore paused for a moment before finally nodding, “Alright, I’ll do it.
”
As Aldus was surprised by his sudden consent, Theodore spoke up again.
“But my surgery has to be scheduled after Ariana’s surgery.
I want to see her through the procedure before I can rest assured.
”
Hearing this, Aldus let out another sigh.
He was already aware of Ariana’s situation and the difficult decision Theodore had to make between her and the unborn children.
Thinking of the unborn great-grandchildren, Aldus couldn’t contain his sadness.
“Isn’t there any way we can save your children?” he asked, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Theodore fell silent, memories of the moment he felt Ariana’s belly, sending tremors through his heart.
Though it pained him, he firmly responded, “I’m sorry, but Ariana means everything to me.
”
Observing Theodore’s unwavering resolve, Aldus comprehended the weight of his decision and chose not to press further.
He understood, feeling empathy for Theodore’s predicament.
He spoke slowly.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.
I won’t disturb you during this time.
However, Ariana’s surgery date is the ultimatum.
If you don’t show up in the operating room, don’t blame me for using force.
”
Theodore nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, in her hospital room, Ariana couldn’t find peace.
Theodore hadn’t visited, and Horace hadn’t provided any updates either.
The restlessness gnawed at her.
As she waited, her anxiety grew, and she decided to go and check on Theodore’s condition.
Just as she reached the door to open it, she coincidentally bumped into him; he was pushing it open from the outside.
Looking at Theodore standing in front of her, a mix of anxiety and anger surged within her.
She couldn’t help but say, “You just came out of the emergency room.
How can you run around?!”
Quickly, she guided Theodore to the bed, urging him to Lie down.
With a serious expression, she scolded, “No wandering around! Rest properly.
”
Theodore complied, allowing her to press him down on the bed.
He fixed his gaze on her, a faint smile gracing his lips.
“I’m fine,” he reassured,
Rolling her eyes in disbelief, Ariana retorted, “Just stay in bed! No getting up.
”
Attempting to distract herself, she sat by his side, pretending to read a book.
But her mind couldn’t focus; she hesitated before finally asking, “I heard you’re taking some medicine.
Does it have any side effects?”

Theodore had anticipated this question.
When he had previously answered Ariana’s queries about the medicine, using the alias Holden, he had suspected she might know something.
Meeting Ariana’s gaze, Theodore pursed his Lips and nodded awkwardly.
“That medicine… is indeed for the treatment of a certain medical condition.
”
Upon hearing his response, Ariana’s heart skipped a beat, and a wave of nervousness washed over her.
She couldn’t contain her sadness, looking at him with caution as she asked, “What is it?”
Taking a deep breath, Theodore mustered up the courage to share his truth.
“The medication is used to treat hair loss,” he managed to say, the words tumbling out in a rush.
