Theodore was touched and felt his heart fluttering when Ariana gently caressed his bandaged palm. He
wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.
Ariana looked heartbroken when she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes at his injury.
“Mrs. Anderson, don’t worry. Mr. Anderson’s hand will definitely recover. The doctor said it was
fortunate that he was sent to the hospital in time,” Horace assured Ariana as he sensed her worry.
Theodore also didn’t want her to worry about him. However, when he was about to comfort her and say

Theodore groaned in pain and wanted to withdraw his hand. However, Ariana gripped his hand tightly,
refusing to let go.
She seemed furious.
“Does it hurt?” Ariana asked as she looked at him coldly. ©
Theodore nodded. He was sweating because of the pain. Horace was not lying.
Theodore’s palm was indeed scalded, and only a thin layer of skin remained intact.
During his recovery period, Theodore had to wrap his wound with gauze. He must not let the wound
come into contact with water as it would hurt and worsen the injury.
“Poor thing, your hand must hurt a lot,” Ariana said sympathetically as she blew lightly on his palm.
However, her smile gave her thoughts away. She was not sorry for him at all.
“Was it you who saved me from the fire?” she asked.
Theodore remained silent, but Horace immediately answered, “Of course. Mr. Anderson carried you out
of the fire and personally brought you to the firefighters.
He only passed out when he saw that you were in safe hands. If only you could see how anxious he

Horace didn’t realize he had revealed something he shouldn’t have, as he was only focused on putting
in a good word for Theodore.
“I’m curious. How can a lamed person carry me across the corridor alone in a fire?”
Ariana asked as she looked calmly at Horace before fixing her eyes on Theodore.
Horace immediately fell silent and realized he had let the cat out of the bag. He kept his mouth shut
and didn’t dare to say anything more. He stepped back and sneaked out of the ward.
Ariana’s expression was so intimidating that he was afraid to stay and help.
Horace closed the door carefully and escaped.
From Ariana’s question, Theodore knew she saw him stand up during the fire.
He stared at her, and many thoughts rushed through his mind.
