Chapter: 827
Theodore, aware of his fault, couldn’t muster a response.
Aldus noticed his guilt and softened his tone. “Ariana’s an adult. She can take care of herself. Your
health is what matters now. Remain in the hospital and prepare for the surgery. It’s scheduled for next
Monday.”
The mention of surgery made Theodore furrow his brows in refusal. “I won’t agree to surgery.”
Exasperated, Aldus shot back, “Can‘t you see the stakes here? Refusing the surgery could cost you
your Life!”
Theodore’s feelings boiled over. “I’ve already said, I won’t do it
“You ungrateful boy!” Aldus berated, pointing an accusing finger at Theodore. Suddenly, he clutched his
chest, staggering backwards.
Panic surged through Theodore. “Grandpa!”
The doctor quickly arrived and administered emergency treatment to Aldus. Once Aldus’ condition was
stabilized, the doctor had him taken to a hospital ward.

Lips pressed together.
He was confused. Wasn‘t Aldus just pretending to be sick? How come he suddenly fell ill?
After examining Aldus, the doctor sighed and said hesitantly to Theodore, “Mr. Fredrick’s health has not
been good for the past few years. The previous times when he fell ill and asked you to come back, he
wasn’t faking it. He just didn’t want you to worry, so he pretended he was faking it.”
Hearing that, a whirlwind of emotions surged in Theodore’s heart and his gaze deepened.
He had always thought that Aldus was faking his illness. But now, it turned out he was really ill, and
there were hidden reasons behind his pretending that he wasn’t.
Theodore hadn’t spent much time with Aldus in his youth, but they were related by blood. He had a
great affection for the old man who cared so much for him and he didn‘t want anything to happen to
Aldus.
Seeing that Theodore took the information relatively well, the doctor continued, “During the last few
years, Mr. Fredrick has spared no effort for your health. He has brought together the best practitioners
from around the world to form a high-level medical team, and he also invested a lot of resources, all of
this to make sure you’re fully recovered before he passes away. He told us that if he doesn’t see you’re
healthy, he won’t rest in peace after he’s gone.”

At that moment, Theodore felt a wave of guilt in his heart at hearing this, and his expression softened.
However, he remained silent, unable to find the words to express his feelings.
The doctor watched Theodore carefully for a moment before continuing, “In recent years, Mr. Fredrick’s
research has been very fruitful and he has found competent surgeons. It was not until he was
convinced that the operation had a good chance of succeeding that he allowed you to undergo it. The
old man has already lost his daughter, and he cannot bear to face such a tragedy again.”
Theodore had witnessed Aldus’ grief after Aimee’s death. The old man then cried so much it was
heartbreaking. Theodore could therefore understand the old man’s feelings very well.

The doctor was right, if Aldus lost another family, he might not be able to bear it.
Thinking of that, Theodore sighed deeply and asked, “What are the potential post-operative
complications?”
The doctor hesitated for a moment but answered honestly, “Brain surgeries are the most complicated,
and we can’t guarantee that there won’t be any post-operative complications. Also, your condition is
unprecedented. So we have no medical history to take into account to speculate. The worst-case
scenario would be limb or nerve function impairment, and milder complications could include partial
memory loss.”
Hearing this, Theodore fell silent for a moment.
These potential complications were outcomes he did not want to deal with. If the operation turned him
into a cripple or made him forget about Ariana, then it would have been better for him to be dead.
Theodore gazed at Aldus lying on the bed for a while and then said slowly, “Let’s postpone the surgery.
We’ll discuss everything once Grandpa wakes up.”
The doctor could only sigh in response. Before leaving, he gave Theodore some advice. “You’d better
stay with Mr. Fredrick. The old man can’t take another shock. You can wait here until he wakes up and
spend some time with him. It will be good for his health
