Rubbing his ears, he wondered if all women were this emotional.
Ariana had been crying for ages, wasn’t she tired?
Watching Ariana cry, Bennett frowned and remarked in a_ less-than- compassionate tone, “You're really quick to
cry, huh? | didn’t even ask you to go to the arena!”
Ariana snapped back amid her tears, “Easy for you to say! I've never faced anything like this before.
I'm barely hanging on now!”
After a good cry, Ariana felt sweight lift off her shoulders.
She wiped her tears away, sniffling pitifully, and with a mix of defiance and red eyes, she demanded, “So what's

Survival becher priority now.
Bennett, pleased with the way things were progressing, clapped his hands cheerfully.
His subordinates emerged from the shadows, standing before him with deference.
Casting a glance down at the arena below, he gestured with a wave of his hand, saying, “Take her there.
His subordinates nodded and, without needing to use force, gestured for Ariana to follow.
Just as Ariana turned to leave, her hunger overcher, and she collapsed, everything fading to black as she

Meanwhile, in the gloomy depths of Mercy Hospital's underground ward, Sadie found herself once again confined
to the darkest corner of the facility.
This was the very place where Holden had once implanted a weak heart in her, and the memories alone sent
shivers down her spine.
She couldn't help but feel that death would have been a preferable fate to her previous captivity in this wretched
space.
She had been here for four days, terrified.
It was surreal to her that she had ended up back in this sdreadful place.
Devin had locked her here four days ago, and since then, no one had cto visit, except for the bodyguard
who delivered her meals.
Completely cut off from the outside world, the silence only served to heighten Sadie’s anxiety,
leaving her restless and deprived of sleep.
Clueless about the unfolding events and Holden's plans, she was in constant uncertainty and fear.
As she paced nervously in the room, Sadie suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside.
She froze, her gaze fixated anxiously on the door, her heart pounding with trepidation.

The bodyguard had already brought her food earlier, so who could it be now?
Finally, the door swung open, and Holden walked in.
When Sadie saw Holden, she felt a rush of joy and immediately walked toward him.
But as soon as she noticed his grim look, her happiness turned into anxiety.
Holden appeared thinner and more intense.
His eyes were dark and hollow as if they were shutting out the light, giving him a distant, icy vibe.
Holden hadn't said anything yet, but Sadie already started to back away.
She coughed awkwardly and forced a strained smile.
“Holden, you're here.
Why have you been keepingin here all this time? What happened?”
