His words emboldened Ariana to share her news with him.

It was time for him to know about her pregnancy.

She took a deep breath and summoned the courage to speak.

"Maybe we don't have to take in Alina as our goddaughter. We can have our own child, right? Our child won't be any less cute!"

Ariana glanced at Theodore as soon as she finished speaking, not wanting to miss his reactions.

She had decided she would confess to him as long as he agreed.

However, Theodore remained silent for a long time before frowning slightly.

"Why did you say that out of the blue?”

Noticing that Theodore wasn't reacting the way she thought he would, Ariana's courage waned and she hesitated, wondering what to do next.

Just then, a commotion came from afar. Horace and his team had arrived.

Their conversation had to end, and while Ariana felt a tinge of regret for her impulsive behavior, the atmosphere felt right to be asking those questions.

Forget it. She decided to ask Theodore again next time.

Horace brought a lot of people with him. However, the first thing Ariana was concerned about was Alina.

Horace assured her, "Don't worry, Madam. I have sent someone to guard Alina. She is safe."

In the meantime, Theodore mounted his wheelchair.

They stuck close together as they exited the camp and arrived at a three-story reception area outside, accompanied by professional doctors.

Although Ariana and Theodore didn't sustain any injuries, Horace still requested the doctor to perform a quick check-up, just in case.

Ariana was afraid the doctor would reveal her pregnancy, so she waved her hand and said, "No, thanks. I'm not injured. I'll be fine after some rest."

She pointed at Theodore and continued, "He appears more injured than Iam. Idon't know if his leg was hurt when he fell from the slope."

As expected, everyone's attention shifted to Theodore. Ariana sighed in relief as she sat on the sofa and drank a cup of hot water.
