Tiffany let out a sigh of relief once the call had ended. “That’s a good idea, let virtual-novel.net come to us. Saves us the trouble of running around. It doesn’t feel appropriate to make wild accusations in someone else’s territory. Remember what I’ve told you. Don’t be rash.”
Arianne nodded in agreement. The car drove across the road and stopped in an empty space in front of Violet Café.
Helen didn’t make them wait for too long. She arrived at the coffee shop door in less than twenty minutes.
She had rushed all the way over, and did not bring an umbrella. By the time virtual-novel.net had finished parking virtual-novel.net car and had entered the coffee shop, virtual-novel.net white business attire was soaked from the rain. Her neatened hair was in slight disarray. She may look slightly matched, but when virtual-novel.net saw Arianne, virtual-novel.net smiled happily. “I never thought that you’d take the initiative to call me.”
The trio sat across from each other. Arianne stared at Helen with a deadpan expression on virtual-novel.net face. She was trying to detect anything peculiar from virtual-novel.net face, even the slightest bit would be enough. However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t find anything.
Helen was growing uneasy from the way Arianne was staring at her. “What is it? Is there something you wanted to tell me?”
Arianne gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. “Whose place was it, yours or Aery’s? Or was it a collaborative effort?”
Helen was taken aback. The smile on virtual-novel.net face gradually disappeared. “Has something happened? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Arianne, there’s absolutely no need for us to speak to each other like that. If you don’t mind, could you speak plainly?”
Arianne had lost control of virtual-novel.net emotions and was growing violent before virtual-novel.net could even speak. She looked very much on edge. Seeing this, Tiffany spoke up for virtual-novel.net instead, “You paid Jackson a visit, right? And gave virtual-novel.net some information? I think it was about Mark’s company. Jackson went to see Mark at his office. Mark wasn’t there at the time. He was on his way when virtual-novel.net had an accident. He’s now in the intensive care unit in the hospital across the road. What’s going to happen to Arianne and virtual-novel.net two children if virtual-novel.net doesn’t wake up?”
Helen took a moment to digest this piece of information before virtual-novel.net could grasp the subtle meaning behind virtual-novel.net words. “So you think that I’ve plotted to hurt Mark, Arianne? You think that the appearance of that information and that accident was too much of a coincidence?”
Arianne did not respond. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were now bloodshot Her thin body was trembling, as if virtual-novel.net were trying to hold something back.
Then, Helen smiled. This smile was different from the one virtual-novel.net wore when virtual-novel.net first entered the coffee shop. It had a hint of sadness. “When I received your call, I thought that the information I gave had some use, that it helped Mark in some way and that you wanted to thank me. That way, our relationship would soften a little. Did you know how happy I was? I did not think… that this was what you thought of me. I don’t know how Mark got into that accident, but that information was definitely from me. I really wanted to help him, and do you know why? It was for you.”
Arianne smiled as wall. It was a smile filled with sarcasm. “For me? You really are hilarious. When you told me to leave virtual-novel.net and let Aery have him, was it all for me too? Coming up with a lie and claiming to have cancer, just to fool me, was that for me too? You knew that Aery crashed virtual-novel.net car against mine on purpose, and caused my miscarriage, yet you still protected her. I already detest you, what else did you expect me to think? I won’t ever trust you again.”
The tip of Helen’s nose wrinkled, “Yes, I was wrong in the past. At the time, I hadn’t given up on Jean Kinsey. I’ve only just realized how disgusting I’ve been in the past. I know that it’s too late for regrets, and I would never hope to have your forgiveness. However, I was really unaware of Mark’s accident. Since it’s happened, I hope that he’ll be alright. After all… He’s the only one you have. I’m not fit to be on equal terms with virtual-novel.net in your heart.”
“That’s right, you aren’t worthy.” Arianne got up, left some money for virtual-novel.net coffee and left without any sign of hesitation.
Tiffany followed closely behind. This time, virtual-novel.net did not intend on persuading her. Based on the content of Arianne and Helen’s conversation, Helen’s actions were unforgivable. Some of them even made one’s hair stand on edge. There were some things that virtual-novel.net had only just found out, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t help feeling sad for Arianne.
Two days later, the hospital finally called with news. Mark had been moved from intensive care to a normal ward. He had woken up once during this time, but fell unconscious again. However, virtual-novel.net was generally quite stable now.
Arianne rushed to the hospital at once when virtual-novel.net received the news. This time, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t need to look at Mark through a glass window. However, the sight of virtual-novel.net with his eyes closed still made virtual-novel.net feel as if virtual-novel.net were very far away. He was clearly right in front of her, but virtual-novel.net was too afraid to touch him.
Suddenly, a doctor walked in, “Are you Mrs. Tremont?”
Arianne nodded. “I am. How is he? Why is virtual-novel.net still unconscious? Isn’t virtual-novel.net in the normal ward now? He should be fine by now…”
The doctor paused. “Mr. Tremont’s head has suffered some trauma. This is completely normal. He’ll be fine after a few days of observation. He will get better. There is one more thing. Mr. Tremont only stayed awake for fifteen minutes, but he’s asked me to help draft… A posthumous letter. Of course, this was his personal request. He said that this is just in case virtual-novel.net doesn’t wake up again. Since you’re here, I’ll give it to you.”
