The moment Ariana's name passed through Theodore's lips, his voice carried a tendemess that couldn't be disguised.

This caught Aldus off guard. He had never witnessed Theodore care for a woman to such an extent. From the other end of the phone, he found himself repeatedly voicing his approval with hearty "greats," feeling a surge of joy within him.

Aldus had been aware of Ariana for a while, even sending someone to dig into her past discreetly.

When Theodore was involved in that car accident, the Anderson family was too quick to give up on him, declaring him vegetative without even considering intensive treatment.
