Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 556
Her plan to invite Ariana to the Anderson family’s residence tonight was so thoroughly thought out. She had planned to fall down
the stairs slightly and then pretend to be badly injured.
But she couldn’t have planned that Ariana’s pearl bracelet would get broken when she struggled with Ariana.
When she fell, she accidentally stepped on the scattered beads and completely lost her balance. As a result, she had suffered a
serious injury that left her disfigured. As far as she was concerned, it was all Ariana’s fault! ©
Helen’s head drooped and her face twisted for a moment, but Theodore was not aware of it.
Helen endeavored to convince herself that all would be well. With Theodore’s wealth, he would undoubtedly engage the most
skilled physician to treat her face.
She held onto the belief that Theodore still cared for her, otherwise, it would be Horace at her side now.
“Rest and look after yourself. There’s a matter I must attend to. I must leave first,”
Theodore told Helen, tucking her into bed. ©
Glancing at the time, Helen noticed the early morning hour. What urgent matter demanded his attention now? Was he going to
see Ariana?
These thoughts fueled her irritation, igniting a primal urge to smash objects, yet she suppressed it and gave an obedient reply.

Wearing a gentle smile, Theodore turned off the bedside lamp and advised, “Do not succumb to emotions during this trying
period, lest your heart bear the burden and it can’t. Heed the doctor’s guidance, and may the next surgery proceed smoothly,
free from any unforeseen complications.”
“Of course, Theodore.” Helen nodded, nestling her chin beneath the covers, contemplating how to sabotage the forthcoming
surgery. She resolved not to undergo the operation; as long as her heart ailment persisted, Theodore would remain tethered to
her!
Only after ensuring Helen had closed her eyes did Theodore wheel the chair toward the exit. However, as he was about to open
the door, something struck him. He turned back to face the bed where Helen lay, his tone filled with regret as he spoke.
“Helen, I forgot to inform you that the doctor mentioned a special condition in your physical constitution, predisposing you to
severe scarring. Given your heart condition, facial reconstruction surgery is perilous, leaving medicinal treatment as the only
option until your heart surgery is complete.”
Pausing for a moment, he sighed, “Mentally prepare yourself, for the scar on your face will become increasingly challenging to
heal with the passage of time.
Regrettably, medication can only offer limited efficacy compared to surgery. Well, do not dwell on it too much. Focus on your
well-being, and we shall revisit this matter after your heart operation.”
With that, Theodore bid Helen good night and departed.
Silence enveloped the expansive ward, and Helen remained engulfed in turmoil.
She longed to rise from her bed and confront Theodore, seeking clarification.

However, hindered by an infusion bottle and other medical apparatus, she stumbled and collapsed, emitting anguished cries.
Soon, the commotion reached the ears of on-duty nurses and doctors.
To calm her frayed nerves, a tranquilizer was swiftly injected into Helen’s arm.
