Chapter: 551

Ariana quickly stood up, feeling anxious. Despite Helen’s faults, she didn’t believe Helen deserved to

die. Ariana couldn’t understand how Helen could be willing to risk her life, even if it meant facing death.

“Mr. Anderson.” The doctor handed the medical report to Theodore and stated, “The patient has

sustained a concussion and a contusion to the chest from the impact.

Her condition is currently stable, but we need to maintain surveillance and assist her recovery.

However, we must delay tomorrow’s scheduled heart surgery. “

Theodore didn’t pay much attention to the medical report and asked in a low voice, “Until when is it

postponed?”

“That would depend on Miss Clarke’s subsequent recovery process. There is, however, another

complicating factor.” The doctor appeared uncomfortable as he disclosed, “Miss Clarke sustained a

deep facial laceration during her fall, exposing the underlying bone. The two-hour emergency

procedure required us to stitch the wound, an especially challenging task considering the wound’s

location and extent, covering nearly her entire eyebrow. We strived to minimize scarring, but we

couldn’t completely remove it.”

“Are you saying that she’ll be left disfigured?” Theodore’s tone remained unchanged, making it difficult

to discern any concem.

With a compassionate nod, the doctor explained, “Here’s the situation. When a wound is extensive, it’s

expected to leave a scar. Additionally, Miss Clarke has a tendency to develop scars. Due to her heart

condition, it’s not feasible for her to undergo frequent facial reconstruction surgeries within a short span

of time, making complete recovery challenging…”

Ariana was slightly shocked and her mouth fell open a little, noticing the contrast between Theodore’s

indifference and Helen’s actions. It was clear that Helen had sacrificed a great deal to cause her harm.

How could someone as proud and self-assured as Helen come to terms with the reality of facial

disfigurement?

Meanwhile, Helen regained consciousness in a dazed state, initially experiencing a sensation of pain.

She was plagued by a throbbing headache and a searing sensation across her face as if it had been

struck repeatedly.

Helen woke up, feeling disoriented at first, but soon became aware of her surroundings. She observed

the white ceiling above, heard the sound of dripping medical equipment, and detected the scent of

disinfectant in the air.

With a painful effort, she turned her head and caught sight of a chubby nurse tending to her IV bag.

As her mind slowly cleared, the thought of her fall down the stairs surged through her, causing her

internal organs to twist with pain.

Helen’s face throbbed with increased pain.

“Miss Clarke, you’re conscious. How are you feeling?” The nurse asked considerately, adjusting her

covers.

Helen grabbed her hand, her voice brimming with anxiety, “Where’s Theodore? Did he bring me here?”

The nurse confirmed, “Yes, Miss Clarke, Mr. Anderson had you admitted here. He’s currently talking

with the doctor about your medical status outside.”

Upon hearing this, Helen released her grip on the nurse’s hand and felt a sense of joy. True to her

expectations, Theodore still cared for her well-being and took the initiative to inquire about her

condition directly with the doctor. Typically, it was Horace’s responsibility.

“What about Ariana then? Where is she now? Is she in tears? ” Helen’s mind was filled with visions of

Ariana being scolded by Theodore, weeping in humiliation.

The nurse appeared puzzled and asked, “Are you referring to the lovely woman accompanying Mr.

Anderson?”

“Stop complimenting her looks,” Helen interjected with clear displeasure.
