Arianne immediately panicked and denied tooth and nail. “I did not! I was just… Scared. You were in the intensive care unit at the time and you looked like you were dead… I’ve never seen such a thing before. I was so scared… ”
He smirked. “Oh… Got it.”
She wanted to relax, so virtual-novel.net found a topic and asked, “How did you get into that accident?”
He did not plan on going into the specifics with her, and it was no use telling virtual-novel.net anyway. It would only burden virtual-novel.net even more. He never liked being superfluous anyway. “Don’t ask. There’s no use if you found out anyway.” Then, virtual-novel.net continued, “The information from Helen was useful. She really wanted to help me. It’s not what you think. My accident had nothing to do with her. Perhaps everything virtual-novel.net had done in the past stemmed from virtual-novel.net wholehearted devotion to the Kinseys. However, she’s only doing it for you now. After all, hurting me won’t do virtual-novel.net any good.”
Arianne didn’t want to say too much when it came to Helen. “Hmm.”
“Nothing ever happened between Aery and I, ” virtual-novel.net suddenly changed the topic.
Arianne was taken aback. Discussing these sorts of topics still made virtual-novel.net feel very awkward. “You… Don’t have to explain. I don’t want to hear it either.”
He was rather compliant with virtual-novel.net on the subject. “Alright.”
Silence followed again, as if it would never end. Then, Arianne began to gradually relax, and didn’t feel too bored. She did not need to avoid his gaze under such a dusky light. Sitting quietly together like this was good enough.
After more than twenty minutes, Mark stopped moving and had seemingly fallen asleep. His current state was still a far cry from the average man. Their small talk had taken up all of his energy, so much so that virtual-novel.net didn’t have time to tell virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net was falling asleep.
She tucked virtual-novel.net in and softly walked away. Tiffany had nearly fallen asleep from waiting outside. “Alright, my dear, can we leave now?”
Arianne nodded. “I’m sorry. He woke up all of a sudden. We chatted for a while.”
Tiffany did not blame her. “That’s good. Wouldn’t your trip have been a waste if virtual-novel.net didn’t wake up? Can you stop worrying now? I’ll take you home. Get an early night’s rest. I get anxious every time I look at your belly. If I had two buns in my oven, I’d lie on the bed for ten months and never get out of it!”
When the pair arrived at the hospital entrance, Tiffany suddenly realized that someone was blocking virtual-novel.net car, a red sports car had parked itself right in front of virtual-novel.net car, blocking virtual-novel.net way out!
That explosive temper of hers would not allow virtual-novel.net to swallow this. She rushed forward and yelled, “Are you blind?! Can’t you find another parking spot? Blocking my car like that… You wanna die?!”
The car door to the red sports car opened, and Aery got down from the car. “You’re the one who’s in my way.”
Tiffany laughed in spite of virtual-novel.net rage, “And here I was, wondering who it is. So it’s you. Have you come all the way here just to wait out here?! Can’t get into the ward, can you?! How unfortunate. We just came from the ward.”
Aery continued smiling, but the resentment and jealousy in virtual-novel.net heart continued to rise, “It’s not that I can’t get inside, but I’m being considerate of my darling Mark. Now that he’s been in an accident, the media has found out. There are many journalists hiding out here, and I’m afraid of causing trouble for him. It’s not good to start gossip.”
Arianne was in no mood to waste time on her. “So you’re aware that your status does not allow you to be openly photographed and gossiped about? Then you can stay here. Tiffie, let’s go.”
“I’m not moving, you can’t leave.” Aery smirked.
Arianne shot virtual-novel.net an icy glare. “What do you want?”
Aery bit virtual-novel.net lip and asked, “Is Mark… Alright?”
“Heh… So you’re not even aware of his condition? Looks like you’re really worried about him. Is this true love? And I thought that you were only in love with his money. He’s very well. He woke up when I came to see him. We talked for a while. Can you move aside now?” Arianne replied with a forced smile.
Aery could not swallow this offense. She never thought that she’d end up having to ask Arianne about Mark’s condition, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t contact Mark and wasn’t allowed in the ward. So virtual-novel.net had no choice but to wait here, and virtual-novel.net ended up waiting for a good few hours. The more complacent Arianne was, the more jealousy virtual-novel.net felt. Jealousy was like a demon that could swallow the hearts of men. She dearly wished that Arianne would die!
Finally, virtual-novel.net moved virtual-novel.net car. Since virtual-novel.net was now aware that Mark was awake and alright, there was no need to continue waiting here. She had plenty of time. There was no need to exact virtual-novel.net revenge immediately.
Arianne watched Aery’s car drive off into the distance. Then virtual-novel.net leisurely got into the car. “Tiffie, you’d better watch out I don’t want Aery to turn the car around again…” She was traumatized from virtual-novel.net last accident. Previously, Aery had rammed into virtual-novel.net car like a mad woman. She couldn’t be sure if virtual-novel.net would do it again.
Tiffany scanned virtual-novel.net surroundings, confirmed that it was safe, then drove off. “It’s alright. I’ll take the opposite direction. I’ll make sure that you get home safe. Hey… Ari, I have a question to ask you…”
Arianne rubbed the space between virtual-novel.net brows, feeling a little tired. “Ask away. Is there anything that we don’t talk about?” .
Tiffany drove along and carefully asked, “Didn’t both Mark and Helen protect Aery, during your first miscarriage?”
