However, when she recalled the condition she proposed to Abigail, her expression drastically darkened, for she
wasn’t sure if the latter would agree.
If Abigail accepted it, Arielle would use the opportunity to suggest bringing two more persons along with her.
Otherwise, she would stop treating her. After all, that was the deal struck by the two of them.
“You have to protect yourself. In the meantime, I’ll figure out how to get us out of here,” Vinson remarked while
tousling her hair.
“You be careful too.”
Anna looks to be more difficult to deal with than Nico.
“I’m living in one of Anna’s father‘s mansions and giving him treatment. If there’s a need, you can find me there,”
Arielle informed before she left.

wife everyone is talking about?”
“The person who saved me presented me as a gift to him.” Arielle furrowed her brows. “The first time we met, we
made a deal. In return for me treating him, he won’t lay a finger on me.”
Despite her calm explanation, Vinson couldn’t be any more worried.

Suddenly, he hugged Arielle. “Sannie…”
Turning around, Arielle lifted her heels off the ground and kissed him on the cheek. “Vinson, I know how to take
care of myself, so don’t you worry.”
Just as Vinson stroked her hair and was about to say something, he suddenly saw someone coming over.
He instantly released her and whispered, “Someone’s here. You should leave before you’re discovered.”
Alerted by Vinson’s warning, Arielle swiftly slipped away, for she had to keep her relationship with Vinson a secret
for the time being.

Why didn’t they tell me before doing so? What should I do now?

Ever since Nancy threatened him the last time, whatever residual feelings he felt for her had long vanished. As a
result, he ignored her call and allowed the phone to ring continuously.
“Answer the phone, d*mn it!” Nancy was so enraged that she felt like smashing her phone when Matthew didn’t
pick up her call.
After failing to get through, Nancy ended the call and dialed someone else’s number, her brother. Unless it was an
emergency, she would never want to drag him into the matter. Unfortunately, he was her last hope now.
