Just as she reached the door to open it, she coincidentally bumped into him; he was pushing it open from the outside.

Looking at Theodore standing in front of her, a mix of anxiety and anger surged within her. She couldn’t help but say, “You just came out of the emergency room. How can you run around?!"

Quickly, she guided Theodore to the bed, urging him to Lie down. With a serious expression, she scolded, "No wandering around! Rest properly.”

Theodore complied, allowing her to press him down on the bed. He fixed his gaze on her, a faint smile gracing his lips.

“I'm fine," he reassured,

Rolling her eyes in disbelief, Ariana retorted, "Just stay in bed! No getting up."

Attempting to distract herself, she sat by his side, pretending to read a book. But her mind couldn't focus; she hesitated before finally asking, “I heard you're taking some medicine. Does it have any side effects?"

Theodore had anticipated this question.

When he had previously answered Ariana's queries about the medicine, using the alias Holden, he had suspected she might know something.

Meeting Ariana's gaze, Theodore pursed his Lips and nodded awkwardly.

“That medicine... is indeed for the treatment of a certain medical condition."

Upon hearing his response, Ariana's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of nervousness washed over her. She couldn't contain her sadness, looking at him with caution as she asked, "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Theodore mustered up the courage to share his truth.

"The medication is used to treat hair loss," he managed to say, the words tumbling out in a rush.

Ariana stilled, her eyes wide in surprise.

"What? Hair loss?" she echoed, unable to wrap her head around his statement.

Theodore's gaze fell on her confused face. With a sigh, he gently ran his fingers over her hair.

“It all started after the accident," he admitted, a flush of embarrassment coloring his cheeks.

"I've been dealing with sleepless nights. The insomnia, it's... causing my hair to thin."

His words hung heavily in the air, his voice wavering with discomfort.
