"Could you do me a favor and buy me a new one?”

Examining the broken phone, Betsy asked, "You don't need to change the SIM card, right?"

Ariana hesitated. She wasn't sure if Theodore could track her through the SIM card.

“Actually, it would be better to change the SIM card too. I want to report it as lost and get a new one."

Though puzzled by Ariana's request, Betsy didn't pry further and agreed to handle it.

Ariana admired Betsy's understanding and decisive action. She had anticipated more questions, but Betsy didn't hesitate to help.

During this time, Betsy had become increasingly dependable. She had acquired numerous skills and showed great maturity. When faced with challenging situations, Betsy never backed down. It seemed like she would excel in the entertainment industry.

Ariana contemplated the idea of nurturing Betsy and having her take over her job once she left. Betsy had the potential to shine in that role.

Lost in her thoughts, Ariana was brought back to reality when Sarah waved her hand in front of her and asked, "What's on your mind?"

Ariana snapped out of her reverie and smiled, saying, "I was just thinking how capable Betsy has become lately. I want to give her more responsibilities in the future."

Sarah nodded, but she couldn't help but pinch Ariana's cheeks and gaze at her intently.

"My intuition tells me that something's not right with you. You seem distracted and unhappy."

Ariana knew she couldn't keep it from Sarah any longer, so she spoke softly.

"Did you happen to see someone standing outside when you and Betsy entered the ward?"

Sarah pondered for a moment and shook her head.

"No, I only saw a few doctors and nurses passing by."

Ariana breathed a sigh of relief.

“What's going on? You even changed your SIM card. What happened between you and Theodore?" Sarah asked in a hushed tone.

Ariana's eyes welled up with tears as she replied, "Theodore was monitoring my phone.”

Ariana poured her heart out to Sarah, revealing everything that had transpired.
