Perhaps… he was also struggling to maintain control over himself.
As Ariana pondered this possibility, memories of Theodore’s restrained and disciplined gaze flooded
her mind, causing her hand to involuntarily clench.novelbin
Theodore had been fighting to suppress the effects of the medication, but what had she done?
Ariana was consumed by overwhelming regret. If only she had known about these circumstances
earlier, she wouldn’t have reacted so strongly when she discovered Theodore was monitoring her. Nor
would she have uttered those harsh words, unknowingly hurting Theodore during those moments.
And now, she had no idea where he was. Could it be that he had secluded himself, out of fear of losing
control, to confront these emotions alone?
The more Ariana contemplated this, the more profound her sorrow grew, weighing heavily upon her
heart.
She should have noticed earlier, and she should have remained by Theodore’s side, providing him with
companionship during this challenging time.
Ariana found herself completely consumed by feelings of remorse, only snapping back to reality when
Mitchel called her name twice.
“Sorry, I was Lost in thought,” Ariana apologized, her head lowered.
Mitchel didn’t mind and simply replied, “Actually, the mental side effects are not a major concern. They
will fade away once complete withdrawal from the medication is achieved. The real issue lies in the
combination of cyproheptadine II and cyproheptadine III sedatives, which can accelerate the
development and onset of numerous dormant diseases.”
Upon hearing this, Ariana’s heart tightened immediately, and she nervously asked, “What does that
mean?”
Could it be that Theodore’s body would also experience complications due to this medication?
Worrisome thoughts flooded Ariana’s mind, causing her to feel a sense of fear as a cold sweat
unknowingly broke out.
“If the patient is in good health, there should be no issues,” Mitchel explained briefly. “But if the patient
has a benign tumor, taking this medication could accelerate its transformation into a malignant one.
The same applies to other underlying conditions. One should always consider the patient’s health when
using this medication.”
Ariana immediately pondered whether Theodore’s body harbored any other problems, although she
couldn’t be entirely certain, which only added to the chaos of her emotions.
“Dr. Chadwick, I am truly grateful for all your assistance. If there is ever anything I can do to help in the
future, please let me know, and I’ll do my utmost.” Ariana suppressed her tumultuous emotions and
conveyed her gratitude to Mitchel.
Mitchel, however, simply waved his hand indifferently and replied, “No need. I agreed to assist you
because I am also intrigued by this matter. Neurology happens to be my area of expertise, and these
medications possess research value as well.”
“Neurology?” Ariana was slightly taken aback. She had always assumed his specialty lay in
orthopedics or surgery, considering he had been her attending physician for quite some time.
“Indeed,” Mitchel nodded. “I hail from Ivebridge originally. I came to Eleymond this time for a treatment
project concerning a rare genetic brain disorder. Presently, I am engaged in researching surgical
strategies. This particular ailment is highly unique, with no documented cases before, so in order to
enhance the success rate, I need to gather similar cases from hospitals across various locations. The
hospitals in Eleymond serve as the final stop in my plan.”
As Ariana listened to Mitchel, she found herself awestruck. Her understanding and admiration for his
profession as a doctor had reached new heights.
Being a doctor wasn’t just demanding, with virtually no holidays throughout the year, but surgeries
alone could last for several hours.
Doctors often had to work overtime in the dead of night to save lives.
Among all the professions Ariana knew, doctors had the highest cases of death resulting from
overwork.
She had always held a deep admiration for the medical profession.
