Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence
Chapter 673

Chapter: 673

She watched Theodore recover consciousness and instinctively hid the medication, not knowing why.

Learning that Ariana had refrained from giving Theodore the medicine, Horace breathed a sigh of relief.

He elucidated, “The boss indeed faces certain health challenges, but they are manageable as long as

he refrains from taking that medicine.”

Ariana regarded Horace skeptically, her gaze probing the mixed emotions etched on his face. As

thoughts of Theodore’s peculiar condition during his sickness swirled in her mind, an unpleasant

suspicion took hold. Her countenance darkened, and she scrutinized Horace intently, testing his

resolve. “Tell me, is your boss engaged in drug use, by chance?”

“No, no, absolutely not!” Horace hastened to defend Theodore, even raising three fingers as if taking a

solemn oath. “While the boss may possess peculiar temperaments, he never indulges in any illegal

substances. I can vouch for that.”

A wave of relief washed over Ariana as she let out a breath. She seized the moment to push Horace

further, her tone unyielding, “Then, what precisely is this?”

Horace’s discomfort was palpable, and after a lengthy pause, he said slowly, “This is intricately linked

to some of the boss’s past entanglements, private matters that are not mine to divulge. Despite my

awareness, I don’t believe it is right to reveal them without his consent.”

Recognizing Horace’s reticence, Ariana knew that pushing him further would yield no additional

information. She acknowledged that he was merely Theodore’s subordinate, burdened by loyalty and

confidentiality.

Ariana relented, nodding with a heavy sigh, “Very well, I understand.”

A sense of relief flooded Horace, his inner turmoil subsiding momentarily. He had been uncertain how

to navigate Ariana’s relentless inquiries, and now he felt a reprieve.

Casting a glance at the medicine bottle nestled in Ariana’s hand, Horace’s mind churned with

contemplation. Finally, he spoke pensively. “Nevertheless, Mrs. Anderson, it is fortuitous that you have

discovered this truth. I have endeavored to dissuade the boss, but he remains obstinate. Now that you

are aware, I implore you to assist. Please keep a vigilant eye on the boss and prevent him from ever

taking this medicine again.”

Ariana saw Horace’s certainty that Theodore was not meant to have this medicine and she surmised

there must be undesirable effects.

“Do you know what this medicine tastes like?” she inquired, studying the unlabeled bottle.

“Slightly acidic, with a bitter aftertaste,” Horace responded, remembering Theodore’s prior description.

Ariana emptied the contents of the bottle, replacing them with vitamins from the bedside table. She

then handed the bottle back to Horace.

“Return this to him. Tell him it was found in the ward. And don’t say that I discovered the bottle,” she

instructed. After a brief pause, she added, “If he finds out, say it was my doing. Otherwise, don’t

mention it.”

“Okay, I’ll keep it a secret,” Horace promised, accepting the bottle. He admired her cunning plan and

felt reassured by its plausibility. Given that Theodore always swallowed his pills without tasting them,

he might not notice the change.

However, Horace’s gaze fell upon the pills scattered on the table, and he felt a tinge of worry. Instead of

making assumptions, he turned to Ariana. “How should we dispose of these?”

Ariana contemplated the white pills, before wrapping them up and passing them to Horace. “Dispose of

them properly.”

Satisfied with this answer, Horace took the wrapped pills and left the room.

Once he was out of sight, Ariana exhaled in relief. Opening her fist, she revealed a single white pill.

She had kept one for herself when handing over the rest to Horace.

After studying the pill for a moment, she reached for her phone and dialed a number
