Upon hearing the truth, Sarah erupted in a fit of curses, "How could Theodore stoop so low? Ugly or handsome, men are all capable of betrayal. They all have their quirks. Men are just terrible. Theodore may be handsome, but why does he have to be so vulgar?”

Initially, Sarah hadn't thought much of Theodore hiding his past from Ariana. After all, everyone had their own baggage and unforgettable experiences. For men, it's their first love, and for everyone, it's their past.

However, upon learning about Theodore's surveillance of Ariana, a dark memory resurfaced in Sarah's mind.

Sarah couldn't forget the painful memory of her ex-husband secretly installing surveillance cameras in her room and using the recorded footage to falsely incriminate her. That experience had left her deeply sensitive and repulsed by any similar behavior.

Although Sarah had once had truly deep feelings for Lynch, she couldn't let go of the fact that he had invaded her privacy, invading her personal space with those invasive cameras and then shamelessly exploiting the footage to subject her to public criticism. It was no wonder she couldn't stand Theodore's surveillance of Ariana.

"T used to think Theodore was a decent guy. Ugh! I thought he genuinely cared about you. Now it turns out he's just a wealthy weirdo. All looks and no substance,”

Sarah vented, her voice carrying a hint of anger. Ariana couldn't tell if Sarah deliberately raised her voice to ensure others could hear her words.

“If he truly loves you, why doesn't he trust you? It's becoming clear that there are no good men out there. Their controlling ways are downright disgusting! It makes me want to puke!"

Ariana didn't know whether to burst into tears or burst out laughing in response to Sarah's fiery outburst. Suddenly, all her sorrow seemed to dissipate.

“Your boyfriend, Aziel, is a good guy. He'd do anything you asked of him," Ariana interjected, trying to shift the focus. sarah felt a pang of embarrassment and let out a dismissive snort.

"Men always put on a facade when they first start dating someone."

Ariana's sadness resurfaced. When she first met Theodore, she found him moody and unpredictable, but he had always shown her respect. She never anticipated his manipulative behavior.

“What's your plan now? How about taking a break from Theodore and giving yourself some space to think?" Sarah suggested, not wanting their relationship to end completely. Despite Theodore's terrible actions, he had treated Ariana well.

After pondering for a moment, Ariana expressed her desire, saying, "I really want to get out of this hospital, but the problem is that Theodore is in the next ward. The mere thought of his people secretly watching over me makes it impossible for me to relax and fall asleep. I can't bear to stay in my apartment either. My first step would be to return and gather my belongings.”

Offering a solution, Sarah chimed in, "You can come and stay at my place for now.

There are plenty of empty rooms, and we can be roommates."

Ariana nodded appreciatively, expressing her concern, "I'm just worried that ‘Theodore won't allow me to leave the hospital so easily."

Sarah flashed a reassuring smile and said, "Hey, no need to stress. I've got your back. I promise I'll make sure you can leave the hospital without any hassle."

Ariana's injured ankle rendered her unable to walk normally, prompting Sarah to acquire a wheelchair to transport her to the garden for a brief stroll.

Despite the warm sunlight, the air retained a chilly bite.
