In the end, Vinson placed Arielle's head on his shoulders while she cried her heart out.
In fact, the man was a clean freak and would never have tolerated his clothes being stained. However, he had taken the initiative to lend Arielle his shoulders, completely not minding the tears and mucus that would get onto his shirt. It was as if his germophobia had been cured.
Initially, Arielle was just crying silently, but slowly, she started sobbing. Eventually, she started wailing out loud.
What she was releasing was a combination of stress, helplessness, anxiety, and all kinds of emotions that she had accumulated lately.
Many people had asked Arielle about the qualities her ideal partner should possess. However, she did not ask for much. All she wanted was simply a shoulder for her to cry on—a man whom she could be vulnerable with and who accepted her for who she was.
After a long while, Arielle finally calmed down.
“You haven't had lunch yet, right?” Vinson asked gently while wiping away a tear from the corner of the woman's eye.
“What do you feel like having?”
“I want to go to Maureen's Kitchen.”
“Sure, let's go there then.”
On the way to Maureen's Kitchen, Arielle asked about Cindy.
“Have they found anyone suspicious on the plane?”
Vinson nodded and replied, “Yup, I was just about to tell you about it. They found two suspects who might be wearing human skin masks and are currently tailing them. I'll update you once there's news.
“All right.” Arielle nodded while clenching her fists.
Meanwhile, Queenie had finished watching Henrick's court hearing online.
A hint of disdain flashed past her eyes when she heard Arielle admitting that she wasn't Henrick's biological daughter.
So, Arielle is just Maureen and another man's illegitimate child?
Queenie had originally thought that Arielle was a dignified woman from a prestigious family. She couldn't help but wonder if Vinson was out of his mind to fall in love with such a lowly woman.
It didn't matter how good Arielle's medical skills were. To Queenie, one's future was entirely determined by one's birth.
