Meanwhile, Theodore couldn't resist Ariana's touches anymore. He grabbed Ariana's hands and said in a low voice, "Stop. Get the wheelchair. I need to go to the bathroom."

Ariana obeyed and helped Theodore onto the wheelchair before pushing him into the bathroom.

"I'll wait for you at the door. Call me if you need any help," Ariana said casually as she tidied up his messy hair. It was like a routine to her now. She had been helping Theodore around the hospital the past few days. She was like a mother taking care of her son.

Theodore raised his eyebrows and looked at the innocent girl staring back at him.

He asked hoarsely, "Are you sure you want to wait? I might be inside for quite a while."

“Quite a while? Do you have a stomachache?" Ariana asked in confusion.

"You tell me," Theodore replied dismissively, but his eyes were looking pointedly at her.

Ariana couldn't figure out what Theodore meant. However, it suddenly occurred to her that Theodore sounded weird as if he was implying something. When her gaze traveled down to his crotch, she understood immediately what he meant.

"You..." Ariana started and blushed. Her tongue was tied, and she was unable to complete her words.

Theodore gazed into her eyes meaningfully and asked, "What's wrong? I'm a man.

It's normal for this to happen, right?"

Ariana felt hot, and she flushed a brighter shade of red.

“Then take your time. I won't bother you," she mumbled awkwardly before turning around to run away.

Theodore chuckled and shook his head helplessly. This woman was really timid when it came to teasing.

When Horace came back to the hospital after finishing his task, he saw Ariana squatting outside Theodore's ward, wearing a strange expression.

He felt perplexed and walked over to check in on her.

"Mrs. Anderson, why are you squatting outside? Don't you want to go in?" he asked in concern.

Ariana looked up and quickly jumped to her feet.

"It's nothing. It's too stuffy inside.

Icame out for some fresh air," she replied hastily.
