When Trisha was angry, she would puff her cheeks, and it looked like she held two buns in her mouth.
At the sight of that, Arielle immediately questioned her, “Did Wendy bully you?”
Trisha shook her head. “No, but she was speaking ill of you, so I scared her away.”
“Huh, who knew you were this fierce?” Arielle chuckled in amusement.
Nodding, Trisha scoffed, “Well, I could be terrifying when I’m angry.”
Her reaction only made her seem more endearing in Arielle’s eyes. Grinning, she teased, “Do take me under your wing and protect me when we are in school then.”
Trisha nodded fervently and earnestly stated, “Arielle, we have to out beat her with the performance tomorrow night!”
Raising her brows, Arielle pointed out, “As long as you don’t get nervous, we can definitely pull it off without a hitch.”
The way that Wendy looked down on Arielle made Trisha feel really offended. As such, she was more determined to put up a good show.
At the psychiatric hospital, Mason made sure to circle the building first. He wanted to make sure that Russell had not sent anyone to tail him. After confirming it, he
parked his car at the back door and went into the hospital.
The evening was ending, and the sky had darkened. From time to time, ghostly wails and howls traveled from the wards. Like it was a haunted house, it was frightening
Given so, most people would not visit this place at this hour. Despite so, Mason trudged through the hallways of the hospital with an indifferent expression, seemingly unaffected by the disturbing noises.
He went straight to Yvette’s ward and pushed open the door to enter.
At that time, Yvette was lying in bed. Although her anesthesia had already worn off, she still felt hazy.
Therefore, she had a delayed response in looking at the door.
She initially thought it was the nurse coming to take her temperature. Yet, to her surprise, she saw Mason. Staring at the man’s face filled with pimples, she could not conceal the look of disgust on her face.
She did not bother to try either.
Without holding back, Yvette snarled, “What are you doing here? Get out right now! I feel repulsed every time I look at you and there is no way I will lend you a single cent. If Dad finds out you came to me for money, he would be first to object to it. Therefore, you’d better
leave this instant and stop appearing before me!”
In the past, Mason might have been affected to hear those words, and it would make his heart ache. However, he did not seem bothered by her comments this time. Instead, there was a hint of a smile on his face.
Sensing that something was not right, Yvette inched away from him.
Unfortunately, she did not have much space to move since her limbs were tied up.
She shrieked, “Are you deaf? I told you to scram!”
“Shh.” Mason placed his finger on his lips and walked to her bed. He whispered, “Yvette, keep it down because I have sneaked in here. I’ll take you out, so you don’t have to stay in this dreadful place anymore.”
Not a second goes by without Yvette thinking about leaving the psychiatric hospital. Thus, when she heard his plan, her expression softened. Uncertain, she stammered, “R-Really?”
Mason nodded. “Like I mentioned this morning, I ran into some issues with my debt. I spent the entire day thinking about it and realized that I was unworthy of you. As such, I don’t want you to continue suffering. I’ll free you from this place, and-” He paused before dropping his tone. “I will not bother you ever again.”
Instantly, Yvette’s heart leaped with joy.
She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Untie me and let me leave right now then!”
“Okay.” Mason fished out his dagger and helped to slash the leather shackles holding her down.
Soon, he managed to undo all four straps, and Yvette hopped off the bed while twisting her wrists. A rare smile appeared on her face.
Raising her head to look at Mason, she gratefully declared, “Mason, don’t take whatever I’ve said earlier to heart. I don’t actually hate you, but we aren’t suited to be husband and wife. Do you understand where I’m coming from?”
