Mitchel nodded, jotting something down on the medical record. He explained, “Based on the examination results, you're currently fine, but the smoke you inhaled can still be harmful to the baby. You'll need to undergo regular check-ups in the future. Additionally, your ankle is seriously injured, so you'll require some time to recover."

Only then did Ariana notice the gauze wrapped around her ankle.

"Why doesn't it hurt? Am I disabled?"

She peered at her ankle, asking a rather foolish question.

Mitchel remained composed, patiently responding as if she were his student.

"No, you can still walk. The medicine I applied has an anesthetic effect. You'll start feeling the pain once the anesthesia wears off."

“Okay," she muttered, her brow furrowing with concern about her mobility in the days to come. Her gaze shifted to the empty bed beside her, and she inquired, "How is my husband doing?"

Mitchel adjusted his glasses and spoke earnestly.

"Theodore's physical condition is much better than yours. Although he also inhaled a significant amount of smoke, he's recovering faster. Aside from a few bruises, he's fine. Although he does have a peculiar quirk—"

Mitchel paused, momentarily puzzled. Finally, he came to a conclusion.

"Both of you are quite peculiar."

At that moment, the sound of a wheelchair sliding reached their ears. Horace wheeled Theodore into the room.

As soon as Theodore entered the room, he saw that the male doctor and Ariana were chatting cheerfully. Seeing Ariana's relaxed smile, Theodore suddenly became alert to the doctor.

In the past, he had realized that Tyler had a crush on Ariana, but he didn't take it seriously. But for some reason, this male doctor he had only met once scared him a little. This strange feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Also, when Ariana and the doctor saw him enter, they looked at each other and fell silent almost instantly, as if there was a secret between them.

Theodore gave them a fake smile. Although he tried to sound nice, his tone was cold when he spoke.

"Dr. Chadwick, what are you talking about with my wife? She seems to be very happy to chat with you."

Mitchel didn't seem to realize Theodore was really annoyed, and answered in a professional tone, "I'm telling Miss Edwards some things to do and some things to avoid in order to recover faster."

Theodore didn't seem to care that Mitchel called Ariana Miss Edwards instead of Mrs. Anderson. He smiled and said casually, "Thank you, but I'm her husband.

Whatever you need to tell her, you can tell me."
