Matthias was stunned by Cindy's statement, then shook his head in denial. “That is impossible.”
“Why is that? Yvette tried to let the dogs out to harm Arielle, and she tried to set Arielle up during the birthday party too. I'm sure this is Arielle's revenge toward everyone who had messed with her!” Cindy exclaimed while quivering with fear.
One would only shiver with fear when one was immensely terrified. Yet, in Matthias' eyes, Cindy was just paranoid for nothing.
He denied it again and reassured Cindy about the truth. “It is definitely not Arielle's fault this time. I've asked the Actonwards' housekeeper for details immediately after watching the news. The man who married Yvette didn't want a divorce, so he ended himself and brought her along. The man's name was Mason Moore, and he's your relative.” Matthias paused for a short while before continuing, “This is Mason's plan, and it has nothing to do with Arielle at all.”
It was all thanks to Matthias' assuring attitude that allowed Cindy to calm down.
Matthias sighed. Then he gently stroked Cindy's hair, tucking some loose strands behind her ear, and said tenderly, “Don't overthink. Try to get some rest and take your medicine. You'll be dismissed from the hospital soon.”
“All right.” Matthias' reminders relit Cindy's faith. She took the thermos handed to her by Matthias and consumed her medication in an instant.
The next day, Arthur was reading Arielle's Ustranasion essay. His eyes lit up, and he brought the homework to show Donovan.
“Mr. Baxter!” Arthur placed the essays in front of
Donovan and said eagerly, “You didn't believe me when I told you Arielle speaks fluent Ustranasion. This time, she wrote essays in Ustranasion. Try reading it!”
