News of Arielle's death traveled fast.
The students in the school were in disbelief when they heard it.
How can this be? Wasn’t she about to go back to Chanaea? Why did she suddenly pass away?
“Sonia, do you know why Ms. Moore passed away?” Bella asked.
Sonia was still in shock over Arielle's death as she wondered, How can this be true? She even asked me to meet her a month later. We were about to see each other again, so how she could just... No, this can't be right. How can Arielle be dead?
Immediately, Sonia called her father.
“Father, have you heard the news about Dr. Moore's demise?" Sonia quietly asked as she bit her lip. At the same time, she prayed that Arielle would be fine. Unfortunately, the answer from her father was a disappointing one.
“Sonia," Lawrence started in a low tone. “Dr. Moore has indeed passed away. I just came back from the hospital."
Upon hearing her father's words,
Sonia's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Bella, Ms. Moore is..." Sonia trailed off.
Bella knew that Sonia and Arielle had been in frequent contact ever since Arielle performed surgery on Sonia's grandfather. She knew that the two women were on very good terms, but she never felt jealous about their friendship, for Sonia had never distanced herself from Bella even after getting close to Arielle.
After ruminating about the matter, Bella hugged her gently to give her a silent consolation.
In Bella's arms, Sonia began bawling.
It was Bella's first time seeing Sonia lose control of her emotions. Her heart ached, but she did not know how to console her friend other than softly pat her back.
“W-What did you say?" Dylan stammered out as he looked at Sybil. “S-Say it again. Say it one more time.’
