Chapter: 598 Betsy swallowed nervously and replied cautiously, “I must have dozed off and didn’t hear the phone ring.”
“Theodore is in the next ward. How could you fall asleep? Weren't you afraid that he might tum into a ghost and haunt your dreams?” Sarah teased, finding her own joke amusing.
Betsy broke out in a cold sweat.
“Don't worry. I’ve successfully taken Ariana away from the hospital. We're on our way back to my house. She'll be staying with me for a while. It is time for you to slip away. Do you understand?” Sarah’s reassuring voice came from the other end of the line.
“Yes...” Betsy wiped the perspiration from her forehead, her voice trembling.
“Why do you sound shaky? Are you afraid? Don’t be. If Theodore catches you, just deny everything. He won’t harm you; at most, he'll be angry. Hahaha...” Sarah’s laughter echoed through the phone.
Betsy glanced at Theodore, his expression unchanging, and a sense of despair consumed her. © Sarah's plan had been exposed.
Fearing that Sarah might say something else that could unintentionally anger Theodore, Betsy hastily ended the call. Her heart raced with apprehension. The weight of Sarah’s remarks lingered in her mind; they were enough to kindle a grudge in Theodore’s heart against Sarah.
Having spent years navigating the treacherous waters of the entertainment industry, Betsy’s intuition told her that the relationship between Ariana and Theodore was far from simple. There was an unmistakable air of intimacy between them.
To prevent Ariana from escaping, Sarah said that Theodore was in the next room before their plan was carried out.
What this indicated was that he placed a high value on Ariana! When a formidable and stoic man like Theodore succumbed to love, possessiveness surely tightened its grip.
With newfound confidence, Betsy glanced at Theodore. “Mr. Anderson, Sarah shares a strong bond with Ariana. Sometimes, her words escape without caution. For Ariana’s sake...”
“Im aware. You may leave now,” Theodore interjected, his voice calm and composed. “Do not inform Ariana of my awareness. Rest assured, | shall not disturb her.”
Betsy found it hard to believe that he was so gentle about Sarah's offensive words and Ariana’s escape.
“Very well, | shall take my leave.” Betsy offered a smile and carefully made her way toward the exit, clutching her bag.
Theodore nodded slightly. Exhaling a sigh of relief, Betsy hastily descended the stairs as soon as she stepped out of the ward. She had perhaps never been that scared!
Meanwhile, Ariana returned to her rented apartment to gather her belongings. Upon. reaching home, she meticulously combed through every nook and cranny with the instrument borrowed from Aziel. Only when she assured herself that there were no prying eyes or hidden bugs did she finally find solace.
“Thank goodness Theodore is not completely unhinged, though his desire to control you runs deep,” Sarah mused, reclining on the sofa with crossed legs, munching on an apple. After scolding Theodore at the hospital, a glimmer of hope emerged within her, suggesting that he might not be entirely nefarious. “I believe there are numerous misunderstandings between you two, stemming from a lack of communication.”
Ariana packed her clothes into a suitcase, a tinge of bitterness etching her smile.
