Not long after, Theodore woke up from his fainting spell.

As soon as he opened his eyes, there sat Aldus, looking serious, right in front of him.

Before he could even express his surprise at Aldus waking up from his heart attack, Aldus greeted him with concern, "Do you know how dangerous your current condition is?"

Theodore fell silent, trying to remember the events leading up to his blackout and loss of consciousness.

With a heavy sigh, Aldus continued, “The doctors said that if we don't perform the surgery for your condition, I might be preparing your funeral soon."
