Once the show had ended, the group returned to Aziel's home to celebrate.

As Molly tucked Alina in for the night, Ariana, Betsy, Sarah, and Aziel remained in the living room to continue their festivities.

Aziel, who had attended the show that evening, cast his vote in favor of Sarah.

Sarah, being the lightest drinker among them, was unable to keep pace with the others, who had indulged in the alcohol with abandon. Even Betsy, who started off drinking with the same fervor as Aziel, eventually gave in to her drunken state.

Ariana feigned an allergy to alcohol, opting instead to quietly sip on juice.

Sarah's cheeks blushed as she slurred, “Let me tell you, I am who I am today, all because of your contribution. From now on,

I'll be there for you, no matter what you need!"

Tears streamed down Betsy's face as she clutched Sarah's hands, overcome with emotion.

“Sarah, I was so deeply touched by your performance today. Your song brought back memories of my mother..

Sarah smiled, embracing Betsy tenderly, and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"My dear Betsy, you thought of your mother?" she asked, her words laced with tenderness.

Betsy, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, let out a tearful sigh.

"Yes, Sarah," she replied in a mournful tone.

"I couldn't help but think of my mother. The memory of her scolding me and calling me lazy, despite affectionately referring to me as her ‘sweet baby' when I'm away, was too much to bear. I feel so pitiful."

Ariana's laughter filled the room, as Betsy's comedic woes about her mother amused her.

She remembered the countless times she had witnessed Betsy's video calls with her mother from their hotel room, where the elder woman would often scold her daughter in a raised voice, only for the two to eventually make peace.

Ariana couldn't help but feel envious of Betsy, missing her own mother dearly. For her, a mother meant a home.

Meanwhile, Aziel remained quiet, but his gaze was fixated on Sarah. A smile played on his lips, even though he was trying to hide his emotions.

Shaking with excitement, Sarah hastened to the room and retrieved a bulky photo album. She proclaimed, "Oh, I have something amazing to show you all. Take a gander at this discovery! There are pictures of a young Aziel!"

Eager to see, Betsy quickly made her way over and asked, "Where is it? Can I take a Look?"
