It was normal for a celebrity who frequently appeared in public to have limited privacy.
But why had these individuals set their sights on Ariana?
Only a handful of people were privy to the details of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, making it likely that the culprit resided among them.
Filled with suspicion, Sarah promptly scrutinized the phones of all those in attendance.
As she had anticipated, she discovered a record of the transfer from Brielle on the assistantâs phone.
Since it was not uncommon for some assistants to engage in selling gossip within the entertainment industry, most individuals preferred to turn a blind eye.
However, Sarah couldnât bear to think of Ariana having to endure being confronted by the media and hospitalized.
Ariana gently massaged her forehead, allowing her senses to gradually return.
She remembered the persistent barrage of sharp questions she had been subjected to back then.
Obviously, those journalists had been given highly accurate information to ask those pointed questions.
The truth about her marriage to Theodore was known to only a few individuals, and Brielle was one of them.
Sensing Arianaâs silence, Sarah offered her comforting words in a soft, reassuring tone, âDonât worry.
The doctor has thoroughly examined you and there is nothing to be concerned about.
â
Arianaâs brows furrowed upon hearing this news.
She dimly recalled that Theodore had managed to hold her after she had fainted.
So, it was he who took her to the hospital and arranged for a checkupâ¦
Damn it!
Shocked, Ariana scanned her surroundings with wide eyes.
It was Mercy Hospital.
Arianaâs heart leaped into her throat, and she nervously questioned Sarah, âWhere is Theodore?â
In that moment, her heart raced, and instinctively, she protectively covered her belly.
Her initial reaction was one of impending doom.
Mitchel did not work here.
If it was Theodore who had brought her to the hospital, she couldnât conceal the truth of her pregnancy.
Just as Sarah was about to mention that she had recently seen Theodore conversing with the doctor outside, the door swung open, and Theodore entered the room.
Sarah silently observed the pair before quietly leaving.
Gazing at Theodore in silence, Ariana offered an awkward smile and cautiously inquired, âWhat did the doctor say? Is there anything wrong with my body?â

âNo,â Theodore replied, his expression unchanged.
âThe doctor simply advised you to get some good rest.
â He appeared completely normal, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
Didnât she have a general check-up? Just as Ariana was about to let out a sigh of relief, Theodore unexpectedly uttered, âThe doctor has scheduled your surgery for the day after tomorrow.
Hearing those words, Ariana felt a chill run through her veins.
She was taken aback, her smile frozen in place, as she Looked up at Theodore and asked, âWhat⦠What do you mean?â
Theodore remained silent, his gaze fixed on her.
His silence was telling, speaking volumes even in the absence of words.
He knew, Ariana could tell.
However, she chose to feign ignorance, forcing a smile onto her face.
âWhat surgery? I merely fainted from hypoglycemia because I skipped breakfast.
I donât need surgery.
Letâs go home.
