At the sight of Remy's name, Ariana's mind ignited with an idea.

Remy's extensive experience within the entertainment realm, coupled with his vast network and profound connections, presented a glimmer of hope. Furthermore, being an ardent film enthusiast himself, he boasted a considerable list of contacts.

So, Ariana directly sent a message to Remy, inquiring, “I've stumbled upon a minor predicament. By any chance, are you acquainted with any available actresses?"

She sent the message along with the requirements for the actress.

Remy responded promptly, affirming his familiarity with someone who met the criteria. He assured her that the actress would meet her tomorrow.

As Mitchel entered the room, his eyes immediately landed on Ariana, engrossed in a flurry of typing on her phone, a clear testament to her dedicated work ethic. Silently, he approached her and gently liberated her phone from her grasp.

“A patient must endeavor to rest quietly, especially during the recovery process. Working isn't good for your recovery," he advised in a calm, soothing tone.

In the presence of Mitchel, Ariana remained taciturn, her demeanor akin to that of a contrite child who had made a mistake, refraining from uttering a single word.

Mitchel carefully set her phone aside and began preparing her belongings in anticipation of her discharge the following day. As he packed, he offered suggestions.

“Avoid exposing the wound to moisture and refrain from overly vigorous movements of your arm. It would be prudent to abstain from cooking. Nowadays, you can always enlist the aid of a helper... Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, yes, I'm listening," Ariana responded hastily, her voice softening.

"But... I have to go select an actress tomorrow."

As soon as the words left her lips, there was a palpable silence from Mitchel. Ariana looked up, finding his countenance etched with displeasure, his brows furrowing as his gaze bore into her.

Ariana rushed to explain, her words spilling forth in earnest.

“It's not that I desire to work. There was an unforeseen problem with the film production. Sadie withdrew without notice. I had to urgently find a suitable replacement. It was a struggle to find someone, and I need to meet the new actress tomorrow. It's truly not my intention.

This is my inaugural foray into film investment. You have to understand."

She laid bare the entirety of the situation, and upon hearing her, Mitchel heaved a sigh and declared, "I'll accompany you tomorrow.

You're not permitted to go alone."

Witnessing his concession, Ariana refrained from pressing further, nodding in agreement.

Meanwhile, Judy observed the scene from the sidelines, musing that Ariana and Mitchel were a fitting match. She understood that Ariana couldn't simply erase Theodore from her heart, yet the past was now a bygone era, and the living had a duty to forge ahead.
