Calvin’s operation was complete, and he was now in the recovery phase.
His face was still bandaged and slightly swollen in the photo, but he already had the makings of a movie star.
Ariana marveled at how drastically his appearance had improved, confident that Dr. Larson’s skills in plastic surgery had worked wonders.
After sending a reply to Calvin, Ariana paused thoughtfully before texting Dr. Larson a few messages to express her gratitude.

When Ariana saw that Dr. Larson hadn’t responded to her message, she hesitated briefly before sending a heartfelt apology for snooping through Sadie’s plastic surgery information.
This time, Dr. Larson responded quickly with a voice message.
Ariana played it and heard him snort rudely.
His voice then took on an arrogant tone. “If it had been anyone else who tampered with my documents, I would have lost my temper and refused to perform the surgery.”
Feeling embarrassed, Ariana hurriedly sent several more apologies.
Then, Dr. Larson sent another voice message. “I can show you Sadie’s complete plastic surgery record, but under two conditions. If you agree, I might let you see them.”
Ariana, eager, quickly asked, “What are the conditions? Please tell me.”

But Dr. Larson didn’t reply right away.
Ariana had been waiting for a while with her phone in hand, thinking Dr. Larson was just temporarily caught up with something. She set her phone down and tried to wait patiently, excitement about discovering the truth soon bubbling up inside her.
She was so caught up in her anticipation that she couldn’t focus on anything else, staying close to her phone, eager for Dr. Larson’s response.
Shortly after, Holden returned.
As he walked into the room, he noticed Ariana staring intensely at her phone and chuckled. “What’s going on? Why are you glued to your phone?”
It was only then that Ariana realized Holden had come back. She leaped up joyfully and hugged him. Looking into his eyes with a sparkle in hers, she exclaimed, “Dr. Larson agreed to show me Sadie’s file!”
“Really? Why the sudden change of heart?” Holden asked, smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Well, he said there are two conditions I need to agree to. If I say yes, he’ll let me see it,” Ariana replied with a smile.
“What kind of conditions?” Holden’s expression turned cautious.
Ariana glanced at her phone and responded, “I asked him about that, but he hasn’t replied to me yet.”
Just then, Ariana’s phone buzzed, displaying a new message from Dr. Larson.
Ariana quickly moved away from Holden to grab her phone, while Holden leaned forward, curious about the message from the doctor.
Ariana pressed play on the voice message, and a male voice declared, “I’ve got two conditions. First, spill why you’re so stuck on Sadie’s records. I want the truth, no lies.”
