Chapter 833
Ariana was shocked as she saw her hands smeared in her own blood.
A nosebleed?
She stared at them in disbelief, fear creeping up her spine.
Turning to Theodore, her voice wavered, “Theodore, what’s going on with me? I’m not dying, am 1?”
“No, no, you’re not,” Theodore swiftly assured her, cradling her in his arms as he stemmed the bleeding.
Once it had stopped, he gently cleaned her hands.
“Don’t worry, this is a reaction to the residual medication in your system.
It’ll pass after the surgery.
”
The fear didn’t quite leave Ariana, and she clutched onto Theodore, her voice fragile, “The surgery won’t harm the baby, will it?”
“Absolutely not,” he reassured her softly.
Only when Ariana was convinced, a sigh of relief escaping her Lips, did she seem to relax.
Unbeknownst to her, Theodore’s expression was heavy with concern.
Later that evening, Ariana’s mood had improved.
She decided to watch the movie “Deep Burial”, a movie that Sonia and Sarah had talked about earlier.
Although Theodore was uninterested, he stuck by her side, opting to read a book instead.
As they settled into the evening, Ariana grew increasingly frustrated with the movie.
Nestled against Theodore, she critiqued aloud, “What a wasted opportunity.
A perfectly good suspense thriller reduced to a corny romance.
Even the suspenseful elements are copied from ‘The Missing Body’ – almost word for word, even the name of the corpse!”
Her fury was mounting, and despite Theodore’s attempts to soothe her she continued her tirade.
In a gentle move to halt her anger, Theodore pulled her into a ki*s, coaxing, “Alright, no more anger.
”
The ki*s served to pacify Ariana, and just as they pulled away, the credits rolled on the movie.
Yawning, she pulled Theodore closer.
“Will you tuck me in tonight?”
Theodore, looking at Ariana in his arms, chuckled, “Would you prefer a bedtime story instead?”
“Alright,” Ariana blushed slightly at his offer and responded in a Low voice, “I suppose our babies could Listen too.

“
“Sounds perfect,” Theodore replied, a tender smile on his face.
With a tender ki*s on her forehead, Theodore began to weave a story for Ariana.
It didn’t take long for her to drift into a peaceful sleep, comforted by his presence.
Once she was asleep, Theodore slipped out of the ward quietly.
Waiting outside, Horace approached him with good news.
“The problem has been resolved.
The operation was a great success.
”
Theodore acknowledged this with a nod.
“Let’s go and check.
”
While waiting for the elevator, Theodore casually asked, “Is ‘Deep
Burial’ well-received?”
Horace, adjusting his glasses with an air of impartiality, replied, “The audience seems to enjoy it.
It’s been performing well in the market.
”
“It’s nothing but plagiarism,” Theodore scoffed dismissively.
“Dig up some information on this Edgar.
”
“Certainly, sir,” Horace acquiesced, before questioning the sudden interest.
“May I ask why we are investigating him?”
