Chapter: 696
With determined steps, she embarked on her search
She scoured every nook and cranny of the bedroom, exploring the bedside table, delving beneath the covers, and even peeking
under the bed.
However, her efforts proved futile as the object of her search eluded her grasp.
Undeterred, Ariana decided to venture into the media room.
Entering the media room, Ariana was greeted by the sight of her pink slippers and favorite snacks neatly arranged on the table, a
place she had frequented often.
Memories of cozy movie nights with Theodore flooded her mind, and a profound sense of nostalgia enveloped her heart.
Gently running her fingers along the back of the sofa, which had Long lost its warmth, she closed her eyes, momentarily
transporting herself back to the moments they had shared.
Though Theodore’s physical presence was absent, she could still sense his ethereal companionship.
Reluctantly withdrawing from her reverie, Ariana let out a sigh and resumed her search in the media room.
She meticulously combed through every inch of the space, leaving no stone unturned.
Yet, her desired find remained elusive.
A furrow formed on her brow as she surveyed her surroundings, pondering the whereabouts of the elusive object.
Where could it possibly be?
Inhaling deeply to regain her composure, Ariana engaged in careful contemplation.
Considering that the bedroom and media room were her usual haunts at Theodore’s place, it was logical to assume that he
wouldn’t stash something he didn’t want her to discover in those areas.
This train of thought led Ariana to conclude that her search should extend beyond those places and into the Living room.
Crossing into the living room, Ariana noticed the adjacent open kitchen, a space she had also often frequented in the past, which
meant she’d find nothing there.
Reflecting on her past oversights, she realized that the most inconspicuous places were often the most overlooked.
Ariana’s gaze landed on an unassuming wall cabinet nestled inconspicuously behind the sofa.
Determination etched on her face, she made her way briskly toward it.
Opening the cabinet and rummaging through its contents, her heart leaped with joy as she finally laid eyes upon the familiar
medicine bottle.
The bottle had already been uncorked.
That indicated that Theodore had indeed been consuming the medication during his stay there.
Ariana studied the bottle intently, her grip tightening instinctively.
Since she seldom used the living room and instead went to the media room whenever she wanted to watch TV, this wall cabinet
remained unnoticed.
