Chapter 676
Sarah’s decision to end her relationship with Aziel left Ariana torn between anger and sympathy.
She empathized with Sarah’s pain but couldn’t help feeling sorry for Aziel as well, seeing him as a somewhat pitiable figure.
Aziel, seemingly oblivious to the reason behind the breakup, was caught off guard and dumped unexpectedly.
Yet, Ariana sensed his genuine affection for Sarah, which made the situation even more complex.
Seeking to console Sarah, Ariana spoke with heartfelt conviction.
“Age is just a number, my dear.
Whether you’re thirty or forty, you remain the epitome of beauty in my eyes.
I refuse to believe that Aziel would let go of you for such a reason.
Hasn’t he already taken into account the difference in years between you? Doesn’t he know about your past and the experiences that have shaped you? If he truly minded, he wouldn’t have been with you in the first place.
Aziel isn’t an immature soul.
I bet being in a relationship with you was a carefully weighed decision for him.
Perhaps these concerns don’t even register in his heart.
”
Sarah wiped away a tear, finding solace in Ariana’s words but still enveloped in a somber cloud.
“Aziel only saw me as a revered idol he had admired for years.
Like any other fan, he only beheld my glamorous facade.
But now, being with me in my current state, he will eventually regret it.
In that case, it’s better to end it sooner!”
Ariana perceived Sarah’s tendency to overthink, understanding the significant impact of that night’s events on her life and work.
Urgently, she continued to persuade, “This situation is not sustainable.
I implore you to seek the guidance of a therapist.
”
Prioritizing the aftermath of the trauma was of utmost importance, as it had left an indelible mark on Sarah’s life.
Sarah hesitated and showed resistance to the idea of seeking professional help.
Understanding Sarah’s hesitation, Ariana reassured her, “There’s no shame in it, my dear.
Remember when you took Alina for therapy? You told me it had a positive impact, and Alina’s condition improved.
You see, there’s nothing daunting about visiting a therapist.
In today’s society, everyone grapples with their own set of problems to varying degrees, and it’s perfectly alright.
”
Ariana’s tone lightened as she emphasized that seeing a therapist wasn’t a monumental ordeal.
Mentioning Alina finally elicited a change in Sarah’s expression.
A smile graced her face as she summoned the courage within herself.
For Alina’s sake, Sarah couldn’t allow herself to languish any Longer!
Agreeing with a nod, Sarah looked at Ariana.
Ariana, relieved by Sarah’s assent, grabbed her hand excitedly.
“Fantastic, let’s schedule an appointment with a therapist for tomorrow.
I’ll tag along with you!”
Sarah nodded and added, “By the way, you mentioned Alina earlier, and it just struck me.
Didn’t we promise to treat Dr.
Chadwick to a meal? We kept postponing it due to your hospitalization.
”
They had originally intended to express their gratitude to Mitchel together, but Sarah hadn’t mentioned it earlier out of consideration for Ariana’s hospital stay.
After a moment of contemplation, Ariana realized the significant support she had received from Mitchel and understood the need to show her appreciation.
“I’ll reach out to Dr.
Chadwick and inquire if he’s available for dinner tomorrow night.
We can express our gratitude then.
”
Considering the inconvenience of making a phone call, Ariana opted to send a direct message to Mitchel, extending the invitation for dinner.

Surprisingly, she received an immediate response from him, accepting the invitation with graciousness.
Ariana had taken the initiative to ensure Sarah’s therapy session, and together they ventured to the therapist’s den the following afternoon.
While Sarah continued with her therapy session, Ariana found herself waiting outside, battling the boredom that loomed over her.
In an attempt to quell her restlessness, she took out her phone and checked for updates on the cast.
But soon enough, her curiosity steered her toward a quest for knowledge about medications, hoping to stumble upon any semblance to the mysterious drug Theodore had been taking.
After a mere hour had passed, Sarah emerged from her session, her countenance visibly brighter.
The therapy was gradually leaving its mark!
“How does your spirit feel now? Are we making progress?” Ariana, donning a smile, greeted her.
