Attempting to adjust her ankle, Theodore inadvertently caused her to scream out in pain.
Her ankle was tightly wrapped in thick bandages, yet a noticeable swelling protruded beyond their
confines, revealing the severity of her injury.
Theodore’s countenance grew somber as he carefully lifted her other leg, inquiring, “How does this
feel? Do you experience any discomfort?”
Ariana nodded obediently and replied, “A little, but it’s not too painful. Perhaps it’s just a sprain.”
“You must go to the hospital immediately,” he insisted. Promptly making a decision, Theodore

uttering a word, he swiftly removed her dress.
“Hey, hey, I’ll change it myself! Don’t take it off.” Theodore’s reckless actions caught Ariana off guard.
She instinctively shielded her chest with her hands, anxiously contorting her body to prevent her
exposed belly from being noticed.
Distracted by the injury to her foot, Theodore paid no attention to her unnatural behavior. As he helped
her put on her clothes and pants, he averted his gaze from any other part of her body.
Each movement orchestrated by Theodore flushed Ariana’s face entirely crimson.
She felt as though she were being manipulated like a puppet. Finally, she settled into a wheelchair and
was gently guided out of the changing room.
Upon opening the door, she spotted Mitchel standing before her. Obvious bruises marred his forehead,
and there was swelling at the corner of his mouth. His glasses were conspicuously absent.
Ariana was shocked. “Dr. Chadwick, what happened?”
As soon as the words escaped her lips, she realized that Theodore was responsible for them.
Oh, no! Would Theodore be in trouble? After all, Mitchel was a man not to be trifled with, not to be
taken lightly.
Despite the bruises marring his face, Mitchel couldn’t help but concern himself with Ariana’s injuries.
His instinct as a doctor kicked in, and he moved towards her to check her ankle.

business.”
The air between them seemed to congeal, tension prickling the space.
“Let me pass,” Mitchel responded, holding Theodore’s hand at bay.
“I need to get my wife to the hospital.” The word ‘wife’ was voiced with an emphasis, an assertion of his
claim over Ariana.
With a curt shake, Theodore freed his hand from Mitchel’s grip.
Retorting in an emotionless tone, Mitchel stated, “I’m Ariana’s attending physician.
It’s my prerogative to assess my patient’s injuries.”
Theodore smiled, a chilling spectacle, and responded frostily, “Dr. Chadwick, do you really believe I’d
trust your judgment? You took your patient to a crowded area without consent. Despite knowing her
condition, you left her alone, causing her harm not once, but twice.”
