Chapter: 305
She checked the time and thought that it was still early. She was a little worried about Theodore, so she decided to check in on him.
As soon as she entered the ward, she saw Theodore sitting in his wheelchair with a book in his hand. Horace stood by the side silently. The atmosphere in the room seemed very still.
“What's wrong?" Ariana asked, feeling puzzled. Theodore seemed fine before she left for a shower. What could have happened that changed his mood?
Theodore closed his book and handed it to Horace. He then turned to Ariana and said coldly, "Pack your things. We are going back to Eleymond today.”
"Why so sudden? Aren't you staying here to recuperate?" Ariana asked again as she was surprised by his sudden decision. According to the doctor, Theodore had to remain for at least ten days in the hospital for further observations. Was there something important happening in Eleymond? If not, why would they need to go back all of a sudden?
Theodore ignored her question. He turned his head away and said indifferently, "Don't ask so many questions. Just do as I say."
"Okay," Ariana replied. However, she stuck out her tongue secretly, wondering how she had offended him again. She hadn't seen him behaving so coldly for a long time already.
Ariana couldn't hold back her curiosity. In order to satisfy her doubts, she eyed Horace and hinted for him to leave the ward with her.
As soon as they were out, Ariana asked, “What's wrong with your boss? He was fine just now. How did his mood plunge so suddenly? Did something happen in Eleymond? Otherwise, why would he be so eager to head back? He hasn't even fully recovered."
Horace really wanted to yell at her and tell her it was all because she had that divorce agreement in her bag.
He wanted to shake Ariana sober and tell her that she couldn't divorce just because she wanted to. Besides, judging from his boss's attitude, he would never let her go so easily.
However, Horace was in no position to do so. Instead, he sighed and said earnestly, “The attending doctor came in and reviewed the diagnosis on Mr. Anderson's legs. It appears that there was a misdiagnosis. Apparently, the crash had worsened his original injury, and it might be difficult for him to stand up again."
Ariana was shocked by the news and gasped, "What did you say?"
Ariana was worried about Theodore's condition worsening. She stormed off to the attending doctor and demanded, "Why is there a new diagnosis? You told us yesterday that Theodore would be able to stand up again soon, but today you claim that he could never stand up again. Are you taking us as fools?"
The doctor felt helpless as he was just following Theodore's instructions. He felt aggrieved, but he dared not go against Theodore's orders. He felt that he was suffering because of this couple. Theodore had to change the diagnosis every day.
The doctor wished they would leave this hospital as soon as possible.
If he continued receiving such pressure from the couple, he was afraid that he would be admitted to the hospital from stress.
“We need a valid explanation. What's wrong with Theodore's injury?" Ariana asked seriously.
The doctor pushed up his glasses and said frantically, "Mrs. Anderson, I'm really sorry. We have limited equipment in the hospital, and most are old. It's easy to make a false diagnosis. I heard that there are specialists down at Eleymond that are more suitable to treat Mr. Anderson's injuries. We have already referred him to the hospital there.”
Hearing this, Ariana had nothing to say but to give up. She returned to the ward, dejected.
