However, Mitchel didnât even spare her a glance.
He continued sorting out his documents, completely ignoring Arianaâs hint.
A surge of anxiety suddenly enveloped Ariana.
She began to wonder if Theodore had given money to Mitchel when he asked him to come over.
But surely, Mitchel wouldnât sell her out for just a few bucks, right? ©
The more Ariana pondered on it, the more anxious she became.
Yet, she couldnât speak openly due to Horaceâs presence.
She attempted to discreetly send Horace away, hoping to find a chance to be alone with Mitchel.
But before she could even open her mouth, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the room.
âMiss Edwards, if youâre ready, letâs proceed with the examination.
â The nurse approached to assist Ariana.
Without any reason or stance to refuse, Ariana allowed the nurse to escort her for the examination.

âAfter completing her examination without any complications, Miss Flynn departed the hospital,â Horace replied, relaying the information truthfully.
âShe mentioned having additional tasks to attend to, including an afternoon meeting with the contractor.
However, she promised to return later to see you.

Upon hearing this, Ariana furrowed her brows, concern etching itself upon her face.
The events of the previous night were still fresh in her mind.
âHow does she look?â she asked, her tone laced with worry.
