The two executives, who had heard rumors about Theodore in the past, couldn't help but take a few extra glances at Helen. They let out a silent sigh. How could a cold person like Theodore fall for such a homely woman? They predicted that he would soon get bored.

The two executives didn't dare to overstay their welcome and quickly made their exit, leaving Theodore and Helen alone in the office.

“Theodore, I got you a tie. Do you like it?" Helen pulled out a gift box from her purse and handed it to him.

Without even a glance, Theodore took the gift and set it aside. He looked at Helen sternly and icily.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming to the company?

You have an operation tomorrow afternoon, and yet you still went out?"

Earlier that day, he received a call from the hospital, informing him that Helen had snuck out. However, he was preoccupied with work and had forgotten about it.

He didn't anticipate that she would come to the company without his permission.

He didn't like having an uninvited guest and was worried that Ariana would misunderstand if she saw Helen.

Helen's eyes welled up with tears upon sensing Theodore's cold tone.

"Theodore, I'm scared about the operation. I'm so nervous. You haven't visited me for a long time, and I'm afraid that I won't make it off the operating table. That's why I came here to see you before the operation."

Perhaps it was Helen's fear that softened Theodore's heart. He spoke slowly.

"The success rate of the operation is high. I have arranged the best doctors for you.

Nothing will go wrong."

He rubbed his nose wearily and then gave in, "Fine. I promise to visit you in the hospital before your operation tomorrow."

"Can you at least hug me now?" Helen looked up at him with pleading eyes.

Theodore frowned and was about to decline.

“Can't you just give your sister a hug of encouragement?" Helen's voice cracked, and tears started to stream down her face.

“If Marley were still alive, maybe I wouldn't be so scared. Marley was always there for me."

“Fine,” Theodore reluctantly agreed. He knew that if he refused, Helen would likely avoid going to the hospital altogether.
