“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.

“What brings you here?” Ariana asked, surprised, as she set aside the book and offered them seats.

couldn’t reach you, we were really worried. We called Horace and found out about your accident,”

Ariana snapped out of her reverie and smiled, saying, “I was just thinking how capable Betsy has
become lately. I 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?”
