He had always kept this potion close at hand, bracing for the possibility of her sudden sickness. The
fact that this hypothetical situation had now manifested was both a shock and a heartrending reality.
Ariana battled a persistent nosebleed and a torrent of emotions. An intense urge to lash out welled up
within her, but she managed to suppress it, gripping Theodore’s hand as a lifeline.
Soon, she was shaking uncontrollably, her words morphing into a disordered mix of references to their
children and desperate pleas for help. Throughout this disorienting ordeal, one constant remained-her
frequent calling out for Theodore.
“I’m here, I’m right here,” he murmured, cradling her close, his body echoing her tremors.
Even with Theodore’s soothing presence, a profound sadness consumed Ariana. In her distress, she
bit her Lip hard enough to draw blood and scratched her arms, leaving behind angry, red welts.
Alarmed, Theodore quickly caught her hand, placing a gentle kiss upon it to deter further self-inflicted

Fortuitously, the healing potion worked its magic promptly, and Ariana finally found calm, cocooned in
Theodore’s steadfast reassurance, and drifted into a deep, restful sleep.

tender kiss lingered clearly in her mind.

A wave of worry washed over her as she laid a hand on her belly, contemplating the possible effects of
her illness on the baby.
Shaking away these troubling thoughts, Ariana decided to look for Theodore. Despite an exhaustive
search, he was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, Judy entered the room and noticed Ariana’s perplexed expression. “Looking for
Theodore?” she inquired with a knowing smile.
Ariana nodded in confirmation.
“He stepped out, but he should be back soon. Why not take a moment to rest? I’ll prepare a breakfast
for you.”

However, as the hours rolled by, she began to feel a hint of restlessness creeping in and decided to
retreat to her room to play with her beloved collection of dolls and action figures. Ariana relocated a few
dolls, including the sizable one she had brought back the previous night, to her study.
While meticulously adjusting their placements, she accidentally triggered a hidden switch. Much to her
surprise, a door that had been cleverly camouflaged within the room’s design noiselessly swung open.

A crucifix was centrally placed, flanked by an array of ornate boxes, each embellished with a variety of
gemstones. In the corners, stacks of art paper caught her attention.
Ariana approached the boxes and sketches, attempting to decipher their significance.
