Aware of her own fame, Sarah took precautions to avoid being recognized. She concealed her face beneath a scarf and donned a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, transforming herself into an unassuming figure reminiscent of a human Geter

As they proceeded, Sarah and Ariana drew curious gazes from passersby. Ariana, seated in the wheelchair, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She leaned in towards Sarah and whispered, her voice barely audible, "Perhaps we should turn back."

Sarah's response was resolute.

“No, trust me. I informed the doctor and nurse that I would take you outside for some fresh air. It wouldn't do to return so soon.” With growing determination, Sarah propelled the wheelchair forward, increasing their pace. Ariana, her face concealed, experienced a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Gradually, Sarah led Ariana out of the garden and across the hospital grounds until they reached a side door. Not far off, a familiar off-road vehicle stood parked beside the flowerbeds. Aziel sat in the driver's seat, waving them over.

Ariana found herself momentarily speechless.

"Is this your plan for us to leave the hospital? Can't we simply depart discreetly?"

But she had to admit that their escape had been quite smooth. Despite the strange looks they received, no one dared to stop them.

Sarah spoke confidently, seeking to assuage Ariana's worries.

“Don't fret. I'm a reliable person. Prior to our departure, I asked Aziel to observe the surroundings.

Theodore's men aren't around. As an added precaution, I sent Betsy to sleep on your bed in your hospital gown."

“Didn't she go back?"

Betsy initially left after purchasing the phone for Ariana, but little did Ariana expect that Betsy would return to her ward again.

"I called her back. She's quite clever. With her assistance, our plan will proceed even more smoothly." Sarah giggled, her laughter filling the air.

They swiftly entered the car, putting distance between themselves and the hospital.

Ariana tumed to Sarah and asked her to contact Betsy and request her departure.

Sarah took out her phone and dialed Betsy's number, but there was no answer even after a long wait.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Betsy's phone continued to ring, causing her great anxiety.

She couldn't bring herself to answer it, not with Theodore's intimidating presence before her.

Fear consumed her.
