Theodore smiled, a chilling spectacle, and responded frostily, "Dr. Chadwick, do you really believe I'd trust your judgment? You took your patient to a crowded area without consent. Despite knowing her condition, you left her alone, causing her harm not once, but twice."

Ariana felt a pang of guilt, seeing Mitchel at the receiving end of Theodore's anger.

She felt compelled to defend him.

Theodore's fury simmered beneath the surface as he watched Ariana come to Mitchel's defense. His words were laced with icy sarcasm, "Really? Then I suppose I should thank Dr. Chadwick?"
