Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 40 - 38- Arc 2

Ariana stepped out of the hospital. She had called for the driver to come give her the food made by the chef. Her plan was to get the chef at home to make food and send it through the driver, but where the hell was the so called driver.

Her feet made rhythmic taps against the floor as she stared anxiously for the driver.

She finally saw their family car but the person that came out, wasn't the person she was expecting.

"Kael!?" Her voice came out in a subdued whisper.

Kael was supposed to be in Country S with Philip - their butler. So why was he here and at the hospital. When did he even come back?

Fortunately or unfortunately for her, another person was blocking her view, which happened to be the driver she was waiting for.

Taking the food from him with a smile, she wondered if Kael came to see their daughter - Mirabel.

"But I didn't tell him anything about Mirabel being hospitalized." She muttered under her breath.

Ariana felt a sense of unease and she just couldn't grasp what it is. Her eyes flashed as she thought of something.

"Did those dare devil children whisper something else to his ears... I better make sure Mirabel is okay."

She immediately ran after Kael in order to catch up to him but saw something else. She saw him meet up with her sister and a strange lady.

Ariana blinked her eyes in confusion and halted in her steps, unsure if to keep following him. Her curiosity was already at all time high, so she had to find out what it is regardless of what may be the consequences. She quickly increased her steps when she saw them getting farther away from her.

She watched as they walked into another ward. Arriving at the said ward, she just stood rooted on the ground as she stared at the ward number.

The ward number wasn't that of her daughter's. 'What exactly is going on?' she thought.

The door slowly opened revealing the strange lady who was with them, as she stepped out of the ward, closing the door behind her. Ariana couldn't even peep in.

"You are? Who are you looking for?"

Ariana stared at the closed door, ignoring the lady's question, but seeing she couldn't get much, she turned to face the strange lady.

She noticed the small glass window on the door that gave her some access to see the room. Ignoring the lady's question as her mind was already in disarray, she looked back into the ward through the small glass window on the door.

She didn't know if to laugh, scoff or cry as she watched her sister flirt with her husband.

She couldn't see who the person in the ward was and wasn't planning on guessing either.

In her family, there are three sisters and are triplets. She was the one with the most Emotional Quotient (EQ) as she believed. Her other sister whom she hadn't seen in years after a fall out with the family, had the highest IQ. As for the sister inside there, she was only good at tricks.

When they were still small, they were known as the TRIPLE DARE DEVILS. But now, they couldn't even be called triplets anymore.

"Are you hearing me? I'm asking you?" The lady who was already irritated from being ignored, touched Ariana. It may seem like a touch but it was smore of a light push, making Ariana stagger.

"What is going on outside?" Kael's cold voice was transmitted from the closed door, followed by the opening of the door.

The air seemed to still for a moment as they gazed at each other. The silence lasted for a while making the atmosphere tense.

"Cough!" Kael cleared his throat as he tried to clear the tension in the air.

Giving him her most professional smile despite the sinking feeling she had, she spoke:

"Why are you here Kael? And with my sister no less."

Kael's gaze flickered as he stared at his wife. Staring at the face that made him marry her, he pursed his lips unwilling to answer.

He had no reason being here and really couldn't find anything to say or spin any lie that matched the scene to tell her.

"Oh! Sister. My daughter Lucy was hospitalized. He just dropped by to see her." Her sister said, her tone a little too cheerful to Ariana's liking.

Frowning she turned to stare at Kael. "Is that true?"

"Yes." He said with a voice devoid of any emotion.

"Then you wouldn't mind if I go in to see my niece then. After all she was also hospitalized."

"No" Kael immediately cut her off. He didn't even give her the chance to say anything, ignoring her, he called someone to have them upgrade the room of the person inside. freewebnøvel.com

Ariana felt sick in her stomach. Blinking her eyes to withhold her tears, she turned to stare at her sister.

Staring at her sister reminded her of her own daughter who only had her and was alone in the ward.

As for Kael, she couldn't even describe her emotions. Maybe it was because her heart was already hurt or because somewhere in her mind already , she felt that the situation was not impossible.

Even making a scene was not possible, all that was in her mind was her child.

For her sister, despite knowing how cunning and slippery her sister could be, she still accepted her back, believing that she must have mellowed out especially now that she has a child. But hell no, she became trickier and more scheming. Thinking up to this point, her lips upturned into a derisive smirk.

What did

she expect from someone like him. Right now, she just wanted some time alone to think about her life decisions.

"Who is she?" Ariana asked, her eyes trailing the strange lady.

Kael who was already feeling guilty and unwilling to face being questioned, answered

harshly.

"It's none of your business and meet me at home." His eyes flashed with a cold glint when he thought about the news sent to him by Mark.

As Ariana watched Kael's retreating figure along with the strange lady, her mind churned with a mixture of confusion, anger, and hurt.

Her emotions were brought to check by her sister's giggle.

"Oh sis! You don't need to worry much. You should just meet him at home instead of having your thoughts written over your face."

Hearing her words, Ariana turned to stare at her sister.

'Since when has their sister-sibling relationship become like this.' she thought.

She just couldn't fanthom why and how they had reached this point.

"Oh right? You should worry about your daughter first instead of chasing a man that wasn't yours in the first place." Her sister words pierced her heart.

She just couldn't understand. Indeed she never knew Kael was engaged already, it wasn't her fault that she wasn't aware that he was engaged and got pregnant for him.

The calm facade she had put on cracked, like shattering glass, the sound echoed in her ears.

With a heavy heart, she

watched as her sister also left to follow after Kael.

Suddenly remembering the old woman words about bad times not lasting long, she couldn't help but mutter out loud in frustration : "So does Good times."

She also turned to leave for Mirabel's ward, the weight of the unresolved doubt and fear wrapped around her neck like a cord, intending to choke air out of her.

She didn't know how she arrived back at Mirabel's ward. Placing the food on the wardrobe beside the bed, she turned to stare at her daughter who was looking at her with worry filled eyes.

"Mom?"

"Are you okay, Mom? You seem...distressed. I have been calling you but you did not answer " Mirabel said, her voice laced with worry.

For a moment, Ariana considered brushing off her daughter's concern, plastering on a smile and pretending that everything was fine. But as she looked into Mirabel's eyes, she saw a reflection of her own turmoil staring back at her, and she knew she couldn't keep up the facade any longer, besides now, she only had her daughter left.

As for Kael, she could no longer put up with him.

Taking a deep breath, Ariana reached out to her daughter, pulling her into a comforting embrace.

"I'm okay, sweetheart," Ariana said, her voice soft with emotion. "Just...a little overwhelmed, that's all."

"Mom! I thought we just made up, why do you still keep brushing me off. As your daughter, I am meant to be your paddy jacket and help you with your worries.

I understand, you may be thinking of my age, but you should also understand that I am growing. I can learn from your life lessons and problems to avoid that same pit in the future..." Zosia wanted to convince her, cos she was the closest person who could help her in accomplish her tasks. It would be more easier if they were close. Maybe she could even solve a hidden task and get more reward.

According to Xen.... Usually hidden task don't matter but they give higher ratings which gives more rewards.

Why she always got higher ratings was because her actions pleased the hosts and did more than their expectations.

Ariana gazed lovingly at her daughter. Hearing her daughter's words brought tears to her eyes. If she and her parents had this kind of relationship, maybe she wouldn't be lost and would know how to navigate the situation better. Maybe things wouldn't have come to this. The tears she had been holding came pouring along with her suppressed emotions. She started bawling followed by a sob then sniffles.

"Mommy is sorry for crying."

"Mom, what do you mean? You are my mother and you are also a human being. If you are still not satisfied, you can keep on crying. Who dares to say otherwise!"

Ariana laughed, her eyes forming a crescent as she gazed lovingly at her daughter. To her, her daughter words were like soothing balm to her heart, soul and mind.

"Alright. Since you asked, I would tell you."
