Horace responded, âThere appears to be some news regarding the creation of a will.
â
âA will?â Theodoreâs brow furrowed in confusion.
âWhat could possibly be wrong with my grandfather?â
After a brief pause, Horace honestly replied, âThere are rumors circulating that he is seriously ill.
â
Theodoreâs head shot up, anxiety evident in his voice as he asked, âWhy is he seriously ill? Has this happened recently?â
âNo, no, not at all,â Horace hurriedly reassured him.
âI have consulted Mr.
Fredrickâs personal physician, and he assures me that Mr.
Fredrick is in excellent health.
The false news was deliberately spread by him because he misses you.
He hopes that you will return and pay him a visit.
â
Aldus always enjoyed playing pranks on Theodore.
Every so often, news would circulate within the Fredrick family about Aldus falling gravely ill.
Aldus was afraid that his beloved grandson would forget about him.
Horace was well aware that Aldus possessed a physical constitution that surpassed that of many young individuals.
He often rode horses, spent time with birds, and occasionally ventured across the state.
In Horaceâs estimation, Aldus would live a long life and might even have the chance to witness Theodoreâs son marrying a woman.
Theodore chuckled.
Aldus never seemed to take anything seriously.
âI will return later.
However, I fear for Arianaâs safety.
Please continue to discreetly assign people to protect her,â Theodore stated.
Horace nodded in agreement, his brow furrowing.
âAlright, Iâll do it.
But Mrs.
Anderson is quite observant.
Iâm worried she might catch on.
â
A heavy sigh escaped Horaceâs heart.
If Ariana remained unaware that Theodore had been tracking her phone, they could continue to protect her discreetly.
However, the situation had become uncertain.
After a brief silence, Theodore spoke up.
âWe need to find a way to safeguard her without raising any suspicion.
Her safety is our top priority.
â
Horace understood the importance of ensuring that anyone who came into contact with Ariana wouldnât pose a threat to her well-being.
âBy the way, Boss,â Horace interjected, âyou asked me to retrieve the pill from your coat at the scene of the fire for inspection.
â
Theodore had almost forgotten about it.
He asked nonchalantly, âDid you receive the test results?â

Theodore had previously retrieved the pill from Arianaâs headboard and he wanted to have it examined.
He didnât want her to rely on medication for her recovery indefinitely.
He believed it was essential to identify the pillâs contents.
âThe coat was partially burned in the fire, and the pill was exposed to high temperatures along with other substances in the package.
Weâll need to separate them to determine its ingredients,â Horace explained.
âIt will take a significant amount of time, but the preliminary tests have shown that several of the ingredients are harmless.
This pill may be a health supplement that promotes well-being.
However, it will take time to ascertain its specific purpose and the illness itâs intended to treat.
â
Theodore casually nodded upon hearing Horaceâs explanation.
He recalled Ariana mentioning that the pill was a blood-nourishing health product.
It appeared that there was no cause for concern.
The press conference of The Sky with Romance was a bustling affair, with a multitude of attendees brandishing photos of their beloved idols.
The host valiantly held his ground on the stage, striving to maintain order amidst the fervent fans.
But their enthusiasm proved overpowering, transforming the stage into a colorful tapestry of flowers and gifts.
Meanwhile, backstage, Tyler diligently prepared his responses for the impending questions that awaited him on stage.
Cole, however, sat stoically, his expression devoid of emotion.
He disregarded the problems at hand, making no effort to prepare answers.
His face remained impassive as if carved from stone.
