Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 780
The arrogance he once possessed had dissipated, replaced by overwhelming anxiety. He feared that speaking another word
might result in the police taking him away. His lips remained tightly sealed.
Witnessing Darian’s refusal to help, Jasper felt a profound sense of disappointment engulf him.
He recognized their relationship for what it truly was – a transaction built solely on self-interest, devoid of any genuine family
affection.
He should have realized long ago that Darian was nothing more than a profit-driven businessman, incapable of fostering a true
bond between himself and his son.
Jasper’s glare pierced Darian, accompanied by scolding words, “Didn’t you proclaim yourself as the master of the Anderson
family? Weren’t you the one who claimed to be a father? Why don’t you save my mother and me? What kind of a human being
are you?”
Even in the face of Jasper’s reproach, Darian remained silent, withdrawing into himself. He hunched his shoulders, avoiding any
glimpse of Jasper or Sharon.
It wasn’t until the police escorted them away, their car slowly fading into the distance, that Darian couldn’t hear Jasper’s verbal
assault anymore. He finally exhaled, relieved to have escaped.
However, as he lifted his head, his eyes met Theodore’s meaningful smile.

Fear coursed through Darian’s veins, instinctively knowing that Theodore wouldn’t let him off so easily. Just as he mustered the
courage to speak up and inquire, Theodore shifted his gaze elsewhere, diverting his attention.
“The ceremony goes on.”
The priest nodded and commenced the burial of the coffin.
After the ceremony concluded, Theodore bid farewell to the guests, and the guards whisked Darian away to a secret place.
Now, amidst the silence of the cemetery, only Theodore and Ariana remained.
Standing before the tombstone, they fixated on a photograph of a youthful, resplendent woman, an extended silence enveloping
them.
Aimee’s eyes, shimmering Like summer blooms, captivated Ariana as she ‘looked at the photo.
She couldn’t help but notice Theodore’s resemblance to Aimee, particularly his striking eyebrows and eyes that mirrored hers.
A wave of sadness washed over Ariana as she sensed Theodore’s sorrow.
At that moment, a torrent of thoughts flooded her mind.
Theodore grasped her hand firmly and directed his words toward the tombstone, “Mother, this is my beloved wife, my cherished
love. She is truly exceptional, and my love for her knows no bounds.”
Although Theodore had expressed his love for her before, this declaration resonated with Ariana more deeply than ever.
She tenderly held Theodore’s hand and touched the image on the tombstone.

Ariana’s voice quivered, her eyes gleaming with determination. “I vow to stand by his side until death do us part.”
Their voices dissipated into the breeze, leaving behind a serene atmosphere.
After a while, Ariana asked softly, “Was she imprisoned in that cage at the manor in the southern suburbs?”
That cage scared her. She could still recall the panic and despair that overwhelmed her upon seeing it. She couldn’t imagine the
fear and anguish Aimee had endured during her decade-long captivity.
