With these words, he took out his shattered phone, presenting it as evidence to Aziel.
Looking at the broken phone, Aziel furrowed his brows, casting a questioning glance back at Sarah.
After Sarah became more relaxed, she deliberately looked away from him.
She shyly nodded and whispered, âThereâs been a mix-up, itâs just a misunderstanding.

As soon as Aziel heard Sarahâs confirmation, his expression softened, and he released his grip on the driver.
âI apologize.

Once the driver was out of sight, Sarah questioned, âWhat brings you here?â
Since the driver had just started the car and hadnât driven a long distance, she was still near the hospital.
However, she did not tell Aziel that she had been in the hospital.

Nonetheless, his words brought a sense of relief to Sarah.
Kidnapping⦠It turned out that Theodore said so to Aziel.
That would be much to her relief.
Sarah found herself feeling somewhat lucky that Theodore hadnât exposed Mike and his gangâs wicked intentions towards her.
Fear still nestled within her.
Even though she was confident that Aziel could protect her, she didnât want him to know what exactly happened to her.
Because Aziel was pure, but she was dirty.
âI misplaced my phone during the kidnapping.
â Sarah could barely meet Azielâs gaze, offering a whispered explanation, âI only realized it was gone just now.
I had to request the hospital reception to call a cab for me.

Her voice carried a hint of grievance and was gradually fading into a murmur.
Azielâs anger heightened at her lamentable demeanor.
She had been through a major incident, and yet, he wasnât her first port of call in her moment of vulnerability and distress.
