After saying that, Alejandro got up and was just about to leave when Tiffany suddenly asked, “Where’s Melanie? I haven’t seen her recently, and she didn’t even reply to my texts.”
Alejandro paused for a moment. “She doesn’t have the courage to meet you all. After all… Mateo was her childhood friend and she had even suspected Mark whilst being blinded from the truth. Plus, she blames herself for not staying beside Arianne on the day of the funeral.”
Tiffany helplessly said, “No one’s blaming her. If it were me, I would also be blinded by Mateo. He was really good at hiding his thoughts; when Ari and I interacted with him those few times, neither of us could tell that the person he fancied was Ari, even going as far as to cause such a huge commotion.”
Alejandro shrugged. “There’s nothing I can do, perhaps she’ll recover after some time.”
Tiffany was slightly angry. “She’s your woman, how could there be nothing you could do? You should console her and persuade her, that’s your job! Can you not let her feel that being with you was her biggest mistake right till the end? At least do something humane for once!”
Alejandro suddenly turned silent. ‘Does she regret being with me because of how I treated her in the past?’
Jackson grabbed onto Tiffany’s sleeve and mumbled, “Why do you care so much?”
Alejandro suddenly let out a heartfelt laugh. “I understand, I’ll try and persuade her. I’m leaving now.”
Jackson was especially unhappy because of how Alejandro would be so obedient towards Tiffany despite his hot temper; no one would hope for their woman to be in someone else’s mind. However, Jackson kept his thoughts to himself. Based on Tiffany’s character, she would only think that Jackson was just trying to pick on bones, so it would not be worth causing a scene.
That was the first time she had left Aery’s side and rushed to Arianne. However, it was a pity that Arianne was in a coma and knew nothing about it.
When she saw Arianne laying in bed, Helen’s eyes turned red. “Ari… I’m so sorry… I didn’t even know that you were in trouble after such a long time has passed. I owe you too much…”
Arianne was not able to stare into Helen’s eyes coldly like she used to do, nor was she able to say anything hurtful. Her stubbornness had all but been retracted, sealed away in a bottomless abyss. During that time, Arianne had grown thin at a rapid rate, and her originally slender body had become even more fragile. Coupled with her pale face, Helen did not have the courage to look at her for a moment longer, as it would only hurt her heart even more.
Mark, who was standing to the side, consoled Helen as he said, “I was too busy all this time and also thought you wouldn’t be free, so I didn’t inform you. I’m partly responsible for Ari’s current situation—it’s because I wasn’t detailed enough that she’s now suffering like this. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to provide her with the best treatment in the hospital. I believe that she’ll wake up someday. She wouldn’t leave me and Smore behind…” Comment by Fo Nix: ?
