Arianne was sweating bullets. She tried getting up a few times but failed. When Brian saw this scene, he couldn’t help but remind Mark. “Sir… Madam is…”
Mark turned his gaze to Arianne then begrudgingly let go of Will while glaring at her. “You owe me an explanation!”
Will’s first reaction was to go and help Arianne up, but Brian hurriedly stopped him. “Mr. Sivan, please leave now. The rest is the Tremont family’s affairs, which don’t concern you.”
Will understood what Brian was trying to tell him. He cast a worried glance at Arianne then reluctantly exited the room.
He wanted to say something but didn’t know if he should. Any wrong move would end up causing Arianne to suffer.
Brian exited the room too and shut the door, leaving only Arianne and Mark behind in the ward.
After a brief silence, Mark spoke up. “You really are a disappointment…”
Arianne sat on the cold floor with her gaze lowered. The corners of her mouth lifted. “I’m sorry… I have never been able to satisfy you since I was little…”
“The child. What’s up with that?” He changed the subject back.
“I hadn’t figured out on how to break the news to you…” She held back her tears, but her body was trembling.
“Is it mine?” He almost emphasized every single word while staring intently at her face.
Arianne laid down obediently. Mary waited until she had calmed down a little before speaking again. “When did you get pregnant? Why did you hide it even from me? Why didn’t you tell sir? Now that something like this has happened, of course he would be angry with you. Why did you meet that Will Sivan out of the blue? Every man would mind about things like that. It’ll be best for you to keep a distance from people of opposite gender next time, alright?”
Arianne closed her eyes. “It’s not what you think… I want to be alone.”
Mary sighed and helped tuck her in before leaving the room. “I’ll go back and prepare you some food. I’ll be back soon!”
The ward became quiet again. Arianne laid down for a while then took out her phone and called Tiffany. At a time like this, the person she wanted to see most was her best friend who understood her.
The call was very quickly picked up. She bursted into tears as soon as she heard Tiffany’s voice. “Tiffie… I’m in the hospital. Can you come over now?”
