“Go ahead.” She waved at him.
Still separated by a considerable distance from the gate, Ariana could discern nothing from her present
position. Nevertheless, she stubbornly maneuvered her wheelchair toward the gate.
From afar, she spotted a retinue of bodyguards ushering a tall and distinguished gentleman into the
hall.
Why did he strike her as so familiar? Had she encountered him somewhere before?
Ariana rubbed her eyes in an attempt to perceive more distinctly, yet the crowd’s sheer density and the
man’s rapid disappearance thwarted her efforts. ©
Navigating her wheelchair, Ariana endeavored to obtain an unobstructed view of his countenance.
However, with Holden’s arrival, the crowd grew even more congested.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe throng surged toward her, impeding her line of sight. Struggling to forge a path, she remained
oblivious to the obstacle ahead. Inadvertently, her wheelchair tipped over, colliding with a long table
and causing the tall glasses arrayed upon it to topple and fall perilously in her direction.
Trapped by the weight of the wheelchair upon her legs, Ariana was unable to promptly rise. She could
only raise her hand to protect her face. Just as she feared making a public spectacle of herself, a man
positioned himself before her.
When chaos erupted, Theodore immediately recognized the familiar figure lying on the floor. A surge of
anxiety coursed through him as he realized he was too late to shield her from the falling wine glasses.
In the nick of time, someone swooped in and fulfilled his duty, swiftly shielding Ariana from the glasses.
‘Theodore’s eyes locked on the man, a doctor by the name of Mitchel.
What was he doing here with Ariana?
Their apparent familiarity with each other raised eyebrows in Theodore’s mind. Had they been secretly
in touch recently?
Cautioning himself against overthinking, Theodore’s instinctual desire to hold Ariana in his arms was
swiftly intercepted by Adrian’s intervention.
“Take a breath, my friend. Now is not the opportune moment. I believe revealing your true identity
would overwhelm her,” Adrian cautioned, shaking his head to drive home the point.
Theodore regained control of his faculties, compelling himself to restrain his emotions, and slipped
away before Ariana caught sight of him.
Ariana, still in a state of shock, sought refuge behind a broad shoulder. As she gradually regained her
composure, her gaze fell on Mitchel, whose coat and shirt bore the stains of red wine, leaving him
disheveled and unkempt.
“Dr. Chadwick, are you alright?” Ariana was anxious to check on his well-being.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe shattered glasses and splattered wine had hit Mitchel mercilessly, leaving his hands and face
grazed by sharp fragments.
Ariana attempted to rise from the floor, only to be pricked by the debris scattered across the floor,
eliciting a wince of pain and sending her back down.
“Hold still. The floor is strewn with broken glasses,” Mitchel calmly advised, as he helped Ariana back
onto her feet and settled her in her wheelchair which he just overturned.
“Dr. Chadwick, there’s no need for you to take care of me. Let’s attend to the wound on your face first.”
Ariana expressed a mix of guilt and gratitude. Today, she had chosen to don silk attire, and if it had
been stained by wine, it would have turned embarrassingly transparent. Despite Mitchel’s gallant efforts
to shield her throughout the incident, her dress had already fallen victim to the spilled drink!
