Chapter 933
With trembling legs, Ariana moved forward, dropping to her knees beside Sonia’s bed, weeping and quivering as she told her, “Sonia, Sonia, awaken, don’t do this to me, please.
”
“Boohoo! Godmother.
” Melon’s tears flowed in unison.
The mother and son shed tears, making the hospital room steep in sorrow.
At last, Sonia groggily woke up and said, hoarse, “Stop it already! Your incessant weeping could wash my mind away!”
Seeing her awake, Ariana sniffled and wiped her tears, gripping Sonia’s hand with joy as she asked her, “How are you feeling? Any discomfort?” “I’m fine, Just gulped down some seawater by mistake.
” Sonia coughed, sitting up.
“That’s a sigh of relief for me.
” Ariana patted her chest, the tension easing, Regaining composure, she puzzled, “But how did you end up in the water?”
“It’s quite a tale.
” Sonia’s tone held traces of irritation.
Through clenched teeth, she continued, “Melon saw Holden’s daughter alone on the deck.
He went over to keep her company.
They began playing, and seeing their happiness, I stepped away to get snacks and drinks.
But in a flash, when I returned, that vile wretch, Sadie Pierre, dared to lay hands on our precious Melon! Could I let that pass? I confronted her, and things escalated into a scuffle.
The result? Sadie couldn’t match me and lost her balance, dragging me into the sea.
Unbelievable!”
Peeling an orange, she recounted the incident with a simmering anger.
“No wonder there were industry whispers about Sadie’s difficult nature.
I used to wonder, how terrible could she be? A newcomer of less than a year.
Today, I got firsthand experience.
”
“She touched my child?” Ariana’s repulsion was evident, her brows furrowing as she embraced her son protectively.
Melon nodded, clarifying, “That nasty woman slapped me, and godmother got furious and confronted her.
She was defending me.
It’s my fault
“My dear, it was her provocation, You’re blameless.
Godmother is okay, and we can’t blame you,” Sonia reassured, offering an orange slice to Melon, gently patting his head, then sweeping him into her arms.

Hearing of Melon’s mistreatment, Ariana‘s anger flared.
“Sadie truly Lives up to her reputation as an engaged fiancée.
My intuition about Holden wasn’t misplaced.
”
Keenly perceptive, Sonia noted Ariana’s reaction and offered comfort.
“Don’t let their antics perturb you.
This time, they’re the ones left reeling.
”
Defeated, Ariana could only stare at her.
If anything more serious had occurred, she could have taken extreme measures to get back at Sadie.
She knew Sonia had always been the boss at school, and she had never hesitated to be resilient.
No one, not even the upperclassmen, dared to challenge her.
Now, Sonia was taunting Melon in jest and acting normally.
Sadie had it rougher, she was sure.
She got served!
Ariana’s heart still held some unresolved frustration.
But then, a suspicious look crossed Sonia’s face as she stared at her.
With a bewildered expression, she leaned out and stroked Ariana’s neck, saying, “Why is your neck covered with red marks?”
