However, when she recalled the condition she proposed to Abigail, her expression drastically darkened, for she wasn't sure if the latter would agree.
If Abigail accepted it, Arielle would use the opportunity to suggest bringing two more persons along with her. Otherwise, Arielle would stop treating her. After all, that was the deal struck by the two of them.
“You have to protect yourself. In the meantime, I'll figure out how to get us out of here,” Vinson remarked while tousling her hair.
“You be careful too.” Anna looks to be more difficult to deal with than Nico.
“I'm living in one of Anna's father's mansions and giving him treatment. If there's a need, you can find me there,” Arielle informed before she left.
“Anna's father's mansion?” Pulling her into his embrace, Vinson—in a jealous tone—asked, “Are you the general's new wife everyone is talking about?”
“The person who saved me presented me as a gift to him.” Arielle furrowed her brows. “The first time we met, we made a deal. In return for me treating him, he won't lay a finger on me.”
Despite her calm explanation, Vinson couldn't be any more worried. If only we weren't trapped here...
Suddenly, he hugged Arielle. “Sannie...”
Turning around, Arielle lifted her heels off the ground and kissed him on the cheek. “Vinson, I know how to take care of myself, so don't you worry.”
Just as Vinson stroked her hair and was about to say something, he suddenly saw someone coming over. He instantly released her and whispered, “Someone's here. You should leave before you're discovered.”
Alerted by Vinson's warning, Arielle swiftly slipped away, for she had to keep her relationship with Vinson a secret for the time being.
