All Jones did was raise an eyebrow, then he said, "Before you marry again, watch your step, okay? Don’t go knocking yourself silly or sothing." I muttered "None of your business" under my breath, not sure if he even heard . A nurse hustled Jones away. Once he was gone, Luna ca back. She seed to have had a revelation, saying excitedly, "Eliana, all your efforts finally paid off!" "Nope. We’re still getting a divorce." I said calmly, my heart as still as water. "Damon already told Jones that we’re splitting, and about Ariel too." Luna’s smile froze on her face. "Wait, what?" Even with her vast experience in the ga of love, she was thrown off by the back-and-forth between Damon and . Damon suddenly changed his tune and helped his wife out. And as his wife, I felt guilty for misunderstanding my husband. Wasn’t this a sign of getting back together? But Luna was just Luna. After a mont of shock, she seed even more excited, "Right! If you guys need a divorce, then get a divorce! We won can’t be upset by so unkindness! He’s been tornting you for ten years. You can’t just forgive him because he’s being nice for once. Make him regret it after you guys split!" I just chuckled. Luna sure had so interesting ideas. In reality, the mont Damon and I divorce, he wouldn’t regret anything. Instead, he would be one step closer to marrying Ariel. Ariel’s existence was still a significant reason for Damon’s agreent to the divorce. "Your imagination is sothing else. Go get so food, will you? I want so spaghetti from the hospital cafeteria." I urged Luna, laughing. "You’d rather eat hospital food than five-star hotel food? Seriou was alti, so she might have to queue , you’re a piece of work!" Luna complained, but she obediently went to get the food. If I was left alone in the room. The smile gradually disappeared from my face, replaced by a sense of lancholy.
I got up and walked to the window, looking at the snow-covered ground below. Hospital staff were setting up holiday decorations. I had to celebrate the holiday alone in the hospital. It was a bumr. While I was daydreaming, I heard footsteps behind . Thinking Luna was back, I asked, "You got plans for tomorrow? If not, can you keep company?" There was no response. I turned around puzzled and saw a nervous-looking Ariel. She was lightly made up, looking delicate. Her beautiful face had a hint of guilt. She was wearing a black dot down jacket, cinched at the waist, with a sweet bow at the collar, and a pair of white mid-calf boots on her legs. At first glance, I could tell that her clothes were of better quality and probably more expensive than before, but they were still brands I didn’t recognize. She seed more mature and steady than before. "Eliana, are you feeling better now?" Ariel asked quietly. "What do you think?" I replied indifferently. My impression of her had plumted due to what happened during the kidnapping. I grabbed my phone and started ssing with it, not in the mood to deal with her. Ariel sat down gingerly on the chair by the bed. She couldn’t look in the eye, but she kept stealing glances at . I frowned and put away my phone, "What do you want?" "Nothing, I’m just worried about you." Ariel bit her lip and responded softly. "Why would soone who wants dead be worried about ?" I asked sarcastically, pretending to be shocked. Ariel turned pale imdiately. She shook her head, "No, Eliana, I didn’t want you to die!" I said coldly, "Oh really? Then let ask you, why didn’t you help when I was calling for help at the warehouse, even telling Damon I wasn’t that Damon could hear Ian’s phone ringing, but you couldn’t hear my desperate cries for help?" Ariel looked dreadful at my questions. She stuttered, "Eliana, I’m not you. Maybe I have a hearing problem." kind of person... you should know better, right? I just didn’t hear ’People who learn vocal music are hard of hearing?!" I felt like she was insulting my intelligence. "Ariel, why have you beco like this? Damon must have told you that night that he and I were getting a divorce. What’s the rush?" Ariel started crying when I exposed her dark side. She couldn’t believe what she had done. "Eliana, I’m sorry, I think I’ve lost control lately... I... I think I’ve fallen in love with Mr. Coleman!" I wanted to say more, but her words left speechless. "I know... I know I shouldn’t have feelings for him, but he kept intruding into my life. Sohow, I got used to him being around. I started to feel inferior. I know I’m not good enough for him, let alone you, so I did sothing stupid. Eliana, I’m sorry... can you not tell Damon about this?" Once Damon knew the truth, her image in his mind would be shattered. I found it laughable, "Ariel, tell honestly, are you used to him being around, or are you just attracted to his lavish lifestyle? Everyone likes to live comfortably, I get that. Just looking at your clothes, I know what you’re after. Your father’s surgery, your family’s house, Damon paid for all of them. You’re just used to the convenience that money and power bring, aren’t you?" "No" Ariel got agitated. She couldn’t stand my questioning of her feelings. Her eyes were red, "It’s not like that at all! It’s not about the money, I really fell in love with him!" "Also, Eliana, it’s not Damon who made more materialistic, it’s you." Ariel added. She looked at with a mix of sadness and determination. "You showed what a truly rich life is like. I’ve checked the prices of the clothes and accessories you used to wear, so I know they are expensive. You lent money without a second thought and you didn’t rush to pay you back. And Joshua told about your car. All these things I didn’t understand or even think about before."
I was really shocked. Did I actually push Ariel straight into Damon’s arms? Did I use the power of money to corrupt a pure girl’s heart? Perhaps, I did an to show off a bit. In my past life, Ariel was the cause of my downfall. In this life, I can help her and Damon, but I’m still a bit salty, so I intentionally did so petty things to upset her. "You can leave now." I didn’t wanna chat with Ariel anymore.
