Chapter: 856

At that moment, words seemed to elude Ariana, unable to mend the fractures in Theodore’s heart. She

looked at him with a feeling of profound sorrow, gripping his hand firmly.

“Yet… I have my doubts that Marley’s death was her own doing.”

Theodore whispered, his voice a murmur of uncertainty, “ALL signs pointed to suicide, but Marley had

an insurmountable fear of heights.

How could she choose to jump off a building as a way to depart from this world?”

With eyes closed, Theodore retreated into his thoughts, a lone soldier on a relentless quest for truth

and vengeance. While revenge was done, the elusive truth behind Marley’s demise still eluded him.

In spite of all the evidence pointing to the fact that Marley had committed suicide, Theodore clung to his

suspicions.

Ariana, too, found herself pondering. “Were there no witnesses to the tragedy?”

Theodore shook his head solemnly. “No one except Helen, who was present when Marley fell. That’s

why I’ve kept her close all these years. If Marley truly took her own life, I want to hear her final words.”

The mention of Helen stirred a sense of suspicion in Ariana, as she herself had been deceived by that

woman before. She asked directly, “Can Helen be trusted?”

Theodore denied, “I had my reservations, but she had an alibi at the time of the incident, and

surveillance footage showed her in the backyard when Marley jumped.”

Ariana thought back to the blue teddy bear and questioned with a hint of seriousness in her voice, “Are

you sure that teddy bear was left behind by Marley?”

“Yes,” Theodore replied with unwavering certainty, “It was a cherished gift from her foster parents,

accompanying her since childhood. She held it dear.”

He hesitated, adding, “But while we were going through Marley’s stuff, we didn’t replace it.

Ariana’s eyes gleamed with suspicion as she probed further, “Then where did you get it?”

Theodore’s nerves tensed, and he gripped Ariana’s hand. “Helen gave it to me!”

This revelation only deepened Ariana’s suspicions, and she spoke candidly. “Although the blue teddy

bear was deliberately made to Look old, its production code caught my eye.”

Ariana was aware of this since she often looked at the manufacturing codes on stuffed toys. She took

out her phone and wrote down the code.

She now gave her phone to Theodore, explaining, “Look, the manufacturing batch of this teddy bear is

from six years ago, which means it was made after Marley’s death. It’s impossible for her to be the one

who left it behind.”

In the wake of Ariana’s words, Theodore’s suspicion took root, and his brow knitted Like a puzzle

waiting to be solved. “Why would Helen give me a fake one? Could she have hidden the real teddy

bear?” he wondered aloud.

“You could say that,” Ariana mused, her thoughts tangled, “Though the true reasons elude me, there’s

an undercurrent of hidden motives behind her actions.”

Ariana believed that Theodore should look into Helen more, maybe beginning with the blue teddy bear,

since something else was obviously being hidden.

Ariana’s intuition resonated with Theodore, forming a silent alliance between their minds. Theodore’s

gaze fixed on the blue teddy bear, lost in a labyrinth of thoughts.

Meanwhile, in the murky depths of Mercy Hospital’s third-floor basement.

Helen sat still, the room Lit badly and filled with drifting dust particles.

Her countenance resembled a lifeless statue, devoid of emotion.
