This relationship was more difficult to abandon than any of her previous ones.

She truly didn't want to end things with Aziel anymore.

Sarah had contemplated this decision many times.

She was older than Aziel, but her successful career enabled her to offer him significant financial aid. In addition, her fame could provide him with much-needed support.

She believed she deserved such an exceptional man.

After a therapy session yesterday, she felt rejuvenated and gained clarity over many things.

Her past feelings of unworthiness stemmed from the psychological trauma caused by that incident. This led her to reject Aziel subconsciously and make excuses for her avoidance.

She wouldn't let that happen anymore.

Moreover, she had intentionally become intimate with Aziel under the guise of being drunk last night, to test if she would still feel fear and repulsion towards him.

As it happened, she felt none of those emotions.

She was still capable of being with Aziel.

However, this didn't imply that she had completely accepted the events of that night.

The memory of those two men filled her with disgust and made her shudder.

Even now, confessing her traumatic abduction experience and her feelings throughout this period to Aziel seemed an insurmountable task.

Sarah opened her mouth to respond but found herself speechless after several attempts.

She let out a sigh and looked away from Aziel.

"Work has been particularly stressful lately, which prompted my odd behavior. It won't repeat. Can't we just reconcile?"

Aziel scrutinized Sarah and, noticing her reluctance to reveal the truth, presented a crumpled medical report.

“What's this?"

On spotting the report in Aziel's hand, Sarah's heartbeat quickened.
