Ariana had considered explaining that he had a fiancée, but it felt like it would only complicate matters further.
So, she chose not to elaborate and smoothly changed the subject.
After conversing for a while, Remy left.
Before long, Melon arrived with a nurse by his side.
Upon seeing Ariana injured, Melon became deeply upset, his eyes welling up with tears.
Ariana swiftly enveloped him in her loving embrace, her voice a gentle, soothing coo.
âThere, there, Mommy is perfectly fine now.
â
Melon, in a quiet moment, let tears fall before delicately blowing on Arianaâs wound.
He asked, âMommy, does it still hurt? Iâll blow on it for you.
â
âJust a gentle breeze from Melon, and Mommyâs pain vanishes,â Ariana said with a warm smile, affectionately pinching his cheek.
âDonât cry, sweetheart; Mommy is okay.
â
Melon wiped his tears away and lowered his head, murmuring softly, âMommy is hurt.

âI wonât Listen; I want to call Daddy and ask him why heâs not coming back.

Unable to resist Melonâs insistence, Ariana placed the phone in his small hand and watched him make a call.
Upon hearing the voice from the other end, an overwhelming wave of awkwardness coursed through Ariana.
Melon, a mixture of sniffles and anger, exclaimed, âDaddy, your wife was stabbed, and yet youâre not coming to see her?â
For a brief moment, a heavy silence hung between the two adults, shrouding the room in an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Ultimately, it was Holden who chose to break the oppressive silence.
He cleared his throat and inquired with a measured tone, âHow are you now? Are you feeling better? Does the wound still hurt?â
âMuch better,â Ariana replied.
