âLetâs drink,â he said, his tone firm.
Sarah pouted, her bottom lip jutting out in a playful pout.
âWhy are you taking it away?â she muttered, before turning her attention back to their beverages with a shrug.
âCome on, Aziel, Betsy, letâs drink!â she exclaimed, eager to continue the celebration.
Ariana sipped her juice, lost in thought.
Her gaze lingered on Aziel, who had taken the photo album away with a hint of nervousness.
She couldnât help but wonder about the hidden history between him and Sarah.
Perhaps it was a tale of love lost, with Sarah forgetting the details of their past.
With each passing moment, Sarah became increasingly inebriated.
Aziel scooped her up in his arms and took her to her room to rest.
Betsy tried to follow, wanting to ensure Sarahâs well-being, but was prevented by Ariana.
âYou should get some rest too,â Ariana gently urged.
âIn your current state, you wouldnât be able to properly care for Sarah.
â @
âOkay.
â Betsy rubbed her head and stumbled into the wall, mistaking it for her door.
She struggled to push it open and asked, âAriana, why wonât this open?â
Ariana giggled as she guided Betsy to her room.
After ensuring that Betsy was comfortable, Ariana returned to her own room.
The stillness of the room was suddenly overwhelming, causing Ariana to feel a pang of sadness.
She walked to the balcony and took a seat, staring at her phone with a blank expression.
The hospital had sent her a reminder:
âMs.
Edwards, your scheduled abortion procedure is set for 3 pm tomorrow.
Please make necessary preparations.
â
Sunlight streaming through the window woke Sarah up.
She raised her hand to her eyes to block the dazzling light.
She was still feeling a little drunk.
She held the âdollâ in her arms and wanted to fall back asleep.
But then she realized she didnât have a doll on her bed.

Sarah sobered suddenly and raised her head slowly to meet Azielâs handsome face.
Frightened, she pushed him away.
The movement woke Aziel up, and seeing the panic on her face, he sat up and was about to explain.
But Sarah was angry.
She shouted, âYou took advantage of me while I was drunk!â
âNo, it wasnât like thatâ¦â
Her eyes were wide, as she beat her fists against his chest and scolded him, âThen what was it like? It is true that we slept in the same bed for the whole night.
I thought you were a decent man.
I didnât expect you to be like the others.
â
She called Betsy loudly.
Startled, Aziel covered her mouth.
âQuiet! Your mother and daughter are still here.
Do you want everyone to know that we slept together?â
Sarah quieted down, and blinked at Aziel, indicating for him to take his hand away from her mouth.
Aziel did so, and then said, âI was going to leave after I took you back to your room last night, but you were too drunk and stopped me from leavingâ¦â
Azielâs face began to redden and Sarah became confused.
