Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 873
Ariana trembled as she turned to the next page and discovered Theodore’s name signed under the “family member” section.
At that moment, Ariana’s mind went blank. She scrutinized the handwriting, confirming that it was indeed Theodore’s authentic
signature.
As she thought about how everything seemed to be going smoothly, fear gripped her soul.
The operation was scheduled for ten o’clock that morning.
Ariana convinced herself it must be a Lie, but her body refused to calm down.
Theodore’s voice called her from the living room. Panicked, Ariana hastily tore the paper and discarded it in the nearby trash bin.
She forced herself to return to the living room, feigning nonchalance as she joined Theodore for breakfast.
Despite nibbling on her toast, it tasted like sawdust to her. She took a few bites and casually inquired, “What time is the
surgery?”
“It’s at 10 o’clock. We should hurry,” Theodore replied.
Hearing that, Ariana’s heart sank further. She absentmindedly continued nibbling on her toast.
Finally noticing Ariana’s discomfort, Theodore asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
He reached for her hand, only to find it ice-cold, deepening his worry.
Ariana finally snapped out of her thoughts and gave Theodore a forced smile, saying, “I’m not feeling well.”

She held Theodore’s hand tightly and whispered, almost pleadingly, “Can I not go through with the surgery?”
As Theodore skillfully danced around the question, his eyes darted.
With a poker face, he gracefully presented a steaming bowl of soup to Ariana. Then he suggested, “Perhaps it’s best to go for a
check-up at the hospital.”
Ariana’s heart sank like a stone in a deep well, but she tried to convince herself to put faith in Theodore. She knew she needed
to trust him more.
“What’s the matter, my dear? Are you still feeling under the weather?”
Theodore inquired, genuine concern etched on his face.
“It’s nothing.” Ariana forced a smile, shaking her head as if trying to unravel a difficult puzzle. “I’m just a bundle of nerves.
Surgery is uncharted territory for me.”
Theodore tenderly comforted her, drawing her close like a sheltering oak. “Fear not. It’s but a minor procedure, over in the blink
of an eye!”
Ariana nodded in agreement, took the Last bite of toast with a touch of reluctance, and tidied up the table. Together, they got in
the car and left for the hospital.
Reaching the hospital entrance, Ariana regained her composure, veiling her emotions.
She couldn’t easily trust Helen, that was for sure. She knew she needed to uncover the truth for herself.

At the hospital, while the operating room was being prepared, they arrived early to address some matters.
Theodore needed to confer with the doctors about surgical arrangements, leaving Ariana to wait alone.
