Chapter 595
Chapter: 595 “That’s good to hear.” For now, Horace chose to believe him and left the room.
Theodore was left alone once again, staring out the window at the scenery. After a while, he suddenly muttered to himself, “You're right. No one can accept me.”
Ariana had a restless night and woke up in an even worse mood on the second day. Theodore’s behavior had deeply upset her, and the pain in her ankle only added to her restlessness.
Last night, in a fit of anger, she had smashed her phone, leaving her with no means to pass the time. Horace had brought her a book, but her mind couldn’t focus on reading. All she could think about was Theodore.
Just then, a knock on the ward door interrupted her thoughts, and Ariana welcomed Sarah and Betsy inside. “What brings you here?” Ariana asked, surprised, as she set aside the book and offered them seats.
“We saw the news about the fire at Blue Night Manor. Since it’s owned by the Anderson Group and we couldn't reach you, we were really worried. We called Horace and found out about your accident,” Sarah explained, placing a fruit basket on the table. She then looked at Ariana with concem, noticing the bandaged ankle.
“How did all this happen? Yesterday was your birthday, and thank goodness you're safe.” Betsy joined in the embrace, hugging Ariana gently.
“[m sorry for making you worry. My phone got accidentally smashed, so | couldn’t contact anyone.” Ariana took out her broken phone and showed it to Betsy. “Could you do me a favor and buy me a new one?”
Examining the broken phone, Betsy asked, “You don’t need to change the SIM card, right?”
Ariana hesitated. She wasn’t sure if Theodore could track her through the SIM card.
“Actually, it would be better to change the SIM card too. | want to report it as lost and get a new one.”
Though puzzled by Ariana’s request, Betsy didn’t pry further and agreed to handle it.
Ariana admired Betsy's understanding and decisive action. She had anticipated more questions, but Betsy didn’t hesitate to help. During this time, Betsy had become increasingly dependable. She had acquired numerous skills and showed great maturity. When faced with challenging situations, Betsy never backed down. It seemed like she would excel in the entertainment industry.
Ariana contemplated the idea of nurturing Betsy and having her take over her job once she left. Betsy had the potential to shine in that role.
Lost in her thoughts, Ariana was brought back to reality when Sarah waved her hand in front of her and asked, “What's on your mind?”
Ariana snapped out of her reverie and smiled, saying, “I was just thinking how capable Betsy has become lately. | want to give her more responsibilities in the future.”
Sarah nodded, but she couldn't help but pinch Ariana’s cheeks and gaze at her intently. “My intuition tells me that something's not right with you. You seem distracted and unhappy.” ©
Ariana knew she couldn't keep it from Sarah any longer, so she spoke softly. “Did you happen to see someone standing outside when you and Betsy entered the ward?”
