Chapter 876
Approaching the operating table, Mitchel saw Theodore lying there, and he was taken aback.
He furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you sure the patient is Holden?”
The assistant next to him nodded and confirmed, “Yes, this is indeed Holden, the young master of the Fredrick family.
”
Doubt filled Mitchel’s mind.
Could it be that two people just happened to look exactly alike? But the probability of them not being related by blood was too small.
However, since it was an emergency, Mitchel decided not to ask further questions.
He simply nodded and said, “Let the operation begin.
”
Outside the operating room, Aldus anxiously paced back and forth in the corridor.
Devin advised Aldus to sit down and rest, but Aldus waved his hand, too anxious to sit still.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he kept praying in his heart.
Why did they have to suffer like this?
Why did such a serious car accident happen all of a sudden?
At that moment, Aldus suddenly remembered to hold someone accountable for the accident and asked sternly, “I entrusted you to protect Theodore at all times.
How did things escalate to this point?! Why did it take you a whole night to find him?”
His subordinates nervously reported, “The incident occurred in a remote area where there were no witnesses.
Due to the sparse population, nobody noticed or reported it.
We have already dispatched personnel to retrieve the surveillance footage from nearby road sections.
”
Aldus’s anger persisted.
“Is this all you have found out? Where are the people in the car? Who was the driver?! And what happened to that truck?!”
“We found out that the driver of the big truck died instantly in the accident.
We are currently investigating whether there was someone else behind him.
Inside the car, there were only three people,” his subordinate reported, speaking with a somber tone.
“Unfortunately, despite the doctor’s best efforts, Horace didn’t make it.
He has passed away.
”
Upon hearing about Horace’s death, Aldus felt a mix of emotions.
Over the years, Horace had been by Theodore’s side as an invaluable assistant and someone who had earned Theodore’s trust.
He had always been there for Theodore regardless of danger.
Aldus trusted Horace completely.
He believed that Horace was the one driving the car when Horace was with Theodore, but he couldn’t fathom how such a serious accident could have occurred under Horace’s watch.
“Horace was in the front seat at the time of the accident.
Although the airbag deployed to reduce the impact, shards of glass flew into his head and body, causing critical injuries,” the subordinates said, visibly pained.
Aldus let out a heavy sigh and said, “Make funeral arrangements for Horace and provide more assistance to his family.
” With a heavy tone, he added, “I’m getting old.
I can’t bear witnessing these tragedies anymore.
”
His subordinate added, “Furthermore, there is a woman with minor injuries who underwent surgery and is currently unconscious in a hospital room.
Our personnel are keeping a close watch on her.
She is the only one who knows the exact details of what happened.
”
Aldus, with furrowed brows and a heart heavy with concern, presumed the lady in question to be Ariana.
He approached the situation cautiously and asked, “Ariana is pregnant.
Has the accident adversely affected her health?”

However, the subordinate, wearing a puzzled expression, quickly dispelled the assumption, saying, “You are mistaken, sir.
This woman is not Mrs.
Anderson.
She has been receiving treatment at Mercy Hospital all this while, under the arrangements of the young master.
I think that the two of them are very close to each other.
”
Bewilderment and curiosity gripped Aldus.
For all those years, the only woman he knew Theodore cared deeply for was Ariana.
Just then, the guard who had been watching over Helen rushed in, breathless with urgency.
“Sir, the woman has regained consciousness!”
“Quickly then, let’s see her!” Aldus responded urgently.
Learning the woman had awakened, he hastened to her room, determined to question her and unveil the truth behind the harrowing accident.
In the sparsely furnished hospital room, Helen opened her eyes to find stern-faced guards surrounding her.
Fear enveloped her, and a cold sweat broke out on her brow.
She feared that Theodore had sent these men, and she would not escape his wrath this time.
With a shriek, she shrank back into the corner, her wide eyes darting between the men as if they were about to pounce on her.
