Chapter: 701
Theodore nodded, his expression having softened a little.

"I'll ask the doctor to adjust the treatment plan later," he said.

"Can they treat the wound on my face first?" Helen asked, nervously touching the bandage on her face. She was really heartbroken at the thought of having a disfigured face. She had always been proud of her pretty face. Appearance was a woman's weapon. Without her beauty, how could she fight for Theodore?

“The doctor also said so. You have other injuries on your body and you are in poor physical condition. The operation will be postponed." It was impossible for anyone to guess that Theodore actually had other thoughts.

After hearing what Theodore said, Helen finally relaxed. She was glad that he still cared about her.

Whenever she behaved obediently, Theodore would be gentle with her.

In fact, other than trying to destroy Theodore and Ariana's relationship, the most important thing for her right now was to delay the surgery.

She didn't want to recover too quickly. Not only because she was afraid that Theodore would not care about her after the surgery, but also because she couldn't tell him what he wanted to know.

In fact, Helen never had the intention of treating her heart disease, at least not until Theodore fell in love with her.

She'd rather die than let Theodore know what Marley had said before dying.

Her plan to invite Ariana to the Anderson family's residence tonight was so thoroughly thought out. She had planned to fall down the stairs slightly and then pretend to be badly injured.

But she couldn't have planned that Ariana’s pearl bracelet would get broken when she struggled with Ariana.

When she fell, she accidentally stepped on the scattered beads and completely lost her balance. As a result, she had suffered a serious injury that left her disfigured. As far as she was concerned, it was all Ariana's fault!

Helen's head drooped and her face twisted for a moment, but Theodore was not aware of it.

Helen endeavored to convince herself that all would be well. With Theodore's wealth, he would undoubtedly engage the most skilled physician to treat her face.

She held onto the belief that Theodore still cared for her, otherwise, it would be Horace at her side now.

"Rest and look after yourself. There's a matter I must attend to. I must leave first,"

Theodore told Helen, tucking her into bed.

Glancing at the time, Helen noticed the early morning hour. What urgent matter demanded his attention now? Was he going to see Ariana?

These thoughts fueled her irritation, igniting a primal urge to smash objects, yet she suppressed it and gave an obedient reply.
