Chapter: 874
Noticing the time slipping away, Ariana calmly said, “It’s getting late; I’ll proceed with the test so we
don’t encounter any delays.”
Theodore nodded, contemplating having Horace accompany her, but Ariana insisted on going alone.
Given her familiarity with the hospital staff, Theodore reluctantly agreed.
As Ariana pretended to go for the test, she stealthily found a secluded nook to wait. When she spotted
the nurse coming out with the prepared medication, she quietly followed her.
When the nurse was gone, she covertly captured photos of the medications and tools. She swiftly
forwarded them to Mitchel and asked, “Dr. Chadwick, what type of surgery is this for?”
Ariana anxiously awaited the response, and soon the message came back with jarring words, hitting
her like a bolt of lightning. “Abortion surgery.”

chasm.
She could hardly believe it; Helen was right!
Her legs felt like jelly, and tears cascaded uncontrollably down her cheeks.
All this time, Theodore had been deceiving her!
Ariana took a moment to gather herself, donning a mask of normalcy as if nothing had transpired. But
inside, she was already concocting her escape plan.
She gently caressed her abdomen, whispering, “My babies, fear not, for Mommy will protect you no
matter what the storm!”
Ariana navigated the hospital with the stealth of a cat, evading everyone in her path until she found a
secure passage to slip away.
Outside the hospital, panic consumed her like wildfire, propelling her toward the roadside. As if the
universe heard her plea, a taxi appeared, and she hastily hailed it.
The taxi driver inquired, “Is it okay with you to share the ride with someone else?”
Ariana noticed a person in the backseat, hidden under a hat, exuding an aura of aloofness.
Despite some reservations, fearing that Theodore’s men could be on her tail, she nodded, taking the
front seat.
Once the taxi set in motion, Ariana felt a sense of relief creeping in when, suddenly, a cloth soaked in
ether was pressed against her mouth from behind!
Ariana’s instinctive struggle was like a trapped bird attempting to break free from a hunter’s grasp. In
her desperate resistance, she caught a glimpse of Helen’s menacing, bloodshot eyes through the
rearview mirror. The realization struck her Like a lightning bolt-it was all a trap!
Despite her valiant efforts, the drug’s effects overwhelmed her, and soon, she succumbed to
unconsciousness!

when the doctor asked, “By the way, Mr. Anderson, did you happen to take Mrs. Anderson’s surgery
records and medical report with you?”
“The report and records are missing? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?” The question struck
Theodore, making him furrow his brow instantly.
Perplexed, the doctor nodded, saying, “Indeed, both seem to have vanished into thin air.”
In an instant, Theodore’s anxiety surged, and he wasted no time in asking, “When did you first notice
their absence?”
After pondering for a moment, the doctor replied, “It was on that chaotic day when we were all
searching for the young girl with heart disease. The hospital was a whirlwind of activity, and we didn’t
pay much attention. It was only when we were cleaning up that we realized they were gone and
assumed you had taken them.”
