Chapter: 875
Inhaling deeply to regain her composure, Ariana engaged in careful contemplation.
Considering that the bedroom and media room were her usual haunts at Theodore's place, it was logical to assume that he wouldn't stash something he didn't want her to discover in those areas.
This train of thought led Ariana to conclude that her search should extend beyond those places and into the Living room.
Crossing into the living room, Ariana noticed the adjacent open kitchen, a space she had also often frequented in the past, which meant she'd find nothing there.
Reflecting on her past oversights, she realized that the most inconspicuous places were often the most overlooked.
Ariana's gaze landed on an unassuming wall cabinet nestled inconspicuously behind the sofa.
Determination etched on her face, she made her way briskly toward it.
Opening the cabinet and rummaging through its contents, her heart leaped with joy as she finally laid eyes upon the familiar medicine bottle.
The bottle had already been uncorked.
That indicated that Theodore had indeed been consuming the medication during his stay there.
Ariana studied the bottle intently, her grip tightening instinctively.
Since she seldom used the living room and instead went to the media room whenever she wanted to watch TV, this wall cabinet remained unnoticed.
Therefore, she had never found this bottle before.
She should have seen it sooner!
Her lashes trembled slightly as she held the item in her hand.
Uncorking the bottle, Ariana employed her earlier tactic, skillfully substituting its contents with the vitamins she had brought along.
Having completed her covert maneuver, she carefully returned the bottle to its rightful place within the wall cabinet. However, just as she was about to close the cabinet, the words of Mitchel resurfaced in her mind, echoing through her thoughts.
“Holden from the BRD Group. You know him, right? He's the one you can directly ask. Since Mercy Hospital falls under his industry, he must possess insights into their internal research.”
Ariana hesitated, her lips pressed together in contemplation.
She harbored doubts regarding Holden's willingness to assist her, and feared that she might offend Holden by delving too deeply into the BRD Group's internal affairs.
