Chapter: 624

The door of the lounge was opened again. Adrian walked in slowly, looked at Theodore with concern,

and said, “Take a deep breath and calm down. Remember, you’re here as Holden today, and there are

many influential individuals who recognize you in this room.”

Adrian had never thought that Ariana would be here. Until now, they hadn’t contemplated the risk of

their cover being blown.

Recalling Ariana’s words, Theodore whispered to Adrian, “I don’t want to lie to her anymore.”

The implication of these words was to confess his identity.

Adrian objected, “Darian is already deep into the trap. Revealing your true identity as Holden now will

jeopardize the entire plan. Just hold on a little longer.”

Theodore covered his face, his eyes shutting tight in torment. Reluctantly, he conceded.

A light rain began to fall as Ariana was escorted out of the hotel.

Seated in her wheelchair, Ariana remained silent. Her gaze was downcast, her lips parched and tight.

Her mind was consumed with the last expression she saw on Theodore’s face.

He resembled a wounded lion—struggling, furious, yet retreating.

His stare was similar to a needle, piercing her heart and bringing a subtle twinge of pain that pulsed

with her heartbeat.

Her hands subconsciously tightened into fists.

Even though she had spoken those words in a state of distress, she was burdened with a touch of

remorse.

She regretted saying them.

Her heart began to soften. Ariana wanted to return to Theodore, but a sharp sting from her ankle

disrupted her thoughts. She drew a deep breath, grounding herself back in reality. She remembered

that there was another person beside her.

Lifting her head slightly, she saw Mitchel half-kneeling before her, examining her injuries.

His instinctive action stirred Ariana’s thoughts of Theodore once again.

Whenever Theodore had performed the same gesture, it would always stir her emotions, but with

Mitchel before her now, she felt a twinge of unease and aversion.

Reason told her that this was a standard procedure conducted by a doctor for a patient, but her body

involuntarily shifted a fraction away from him, even though the movement was almost imperceptible.

The next moment, an intense pain made her wince. Her beautiful face was on the verge of contortion.

She smacked the armrests of the wheelchair and gripped her fists tightly due to the pain.

“Perhaps it’s a severe fracture.” Mitchel stood up expressionlessly and said indifferently.

Then why did he have to grip her so harshly? Ariana couldn’t help but wonder.

Her inner voice was roaring, but she didn’t dare to voice her objection directly since he was her doctor.

She could only express her displeasure with a fiery glare.
