Holden responded, “Got it. You can focus on other matters for now.”
“Understood,” Shawn replied and ended the call.
Ariana lowered her head, feeling guilty. She said softly, “It seems he found out I snooped in his office that day. It’s my fault.”

She sighed, her voice filled with regret. “I shouldn’t have acted impulsively before.”
“It’s okay,” Holden said, tousling her hair gently. “Without your investigation, we wouldn’t have any leads. We have something to work with now. If this approach doesn’t work out, we’ll try another. Don’t worry. We’ll find a way.”
Upon hearing that, Ariana cheered up and said. “You’re right. There’s always a solution!”
In the afternoon, Holden left to deal with something.
Alone in the hospital, Ariana felt bored and weighed down by her thoughts.
She pondered if Sadie was Helen. Could Adele truly be Sadie and Holden’s daughter? Had Helen slept with Holden five years ago?
However, upon reconsideration, Ariana felt it was unreasonable.
Considering Helen’s personality, if she had been with Holden back then, she would have flaunted it to Ariana to make her leave.
But what if Helen wasn’t Sadie?
Ariana couldn’t figure it out and felt frustrated.

While idly scrolling through her phone, she received a message from Jennifer.
“How are you? Is it really true that you’re dead?”
This message brought a glimmer of joy to Ariana’s face. She responded, “If I were dead, who’d be texting you right now?”
“Thank goodness! I almost believed the news about Holden’s death,”
Jennifer replied promptly.
Ariana shared Holden’s decision with Jennifer. “The fact that we’re safe is confidential. You must keep it under wraps for us.”
“Don’t worry. I will keep my mouth shut,” Jennifer replied.
Their conversation continued. Remembering her recent nightmare, Ariana asked, “By the way, how’s Mitchel? Is he alright? Is he still with the crew?”
“Mitchel?”
“He is not with the crew of the show. He went out with Holden to search for you and didn’t return.”
Jennifer was surprised and sent multiple messages in a row.
