Ariana quickly refused, "No need, you're injured, and my parents might be around, you should avoid them for the time being."
After all, Gilbert and Georgia currently have a poor impression of Lambert, she doesn't dare to show that she is too familiar with him.
Upon hearing this, Lambert didn't make it difficult for her.
Her hair was slightly messy from sleeping on the bed, so she tidied it while walking. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Vincent just as she stepped outside.
"Vincent..."
Vincent looked at her gloomily, his eyes filled with anger.
The hand she was using to comb her hair paused momentarily, she calmly asked, "Why are you here?"
He sarcastically retorted, "If I hadn’t come, how would I have witnessed this scene!"
Vincent wanted to see Ariana, but could not get in touch with her no matter how he tried. Thus, he bribed the guard and learned that Ariana had brought Jane to the hospital for psychological treatment.
However, when he arrived, he learned that Jane had attacked Ariana. Fortunately, a kind soul saved her, and that person was Lambert!
Vincent could no longer sit idly by and hastily started searching for Ariana. He didn't expect to find her in such a state as soon as he arrived.
Upon hearing his gloomy sarcasm, Ariana was somewhat displeased.
"If you could find me here, shouldn't you know why I'm here?"
Seeing her angered, Vincent's anger rose slightly, yet he dared not speak out, "But...you're my fiancee, how can you share a room with another man?"
She retorted coldly, "Lambert is my life-saver, he suffered injuries for my sake, what's wrong in taking care of him in person?"
"Take care of him in person?"
Vincent angrily said, "You clearly know he has plans for you, how dare you stay alone with him? Or do you like him, so you don't care?"
Ariana responded generously, "Yes! As you thought! Lambert may seem unrestrained, but he is a good person. At least, when he saved me, he was not the least bit timid.
On the contrary, at the banquet that day, you watched your fiancée being held by another man, yet because of your consideration for the Stone family, you cowardly shrank back like a turtle! Now you have become a laughingstock in the public!"
"I... Ari, you know that I didn't mean it!"
Vincent choked at her words and his anger disappeared. He quickly explained, "I really was angry at that time, and I did apologize to you afterward."
Her expression cold, said, "What has happened cannot be undone. In addition, Jane's illness is getting worse because of you. I'm now confused about our marriage."
Seeing her wavering, Vincent's heart jumped. "Are you saying you want to break up with me?"
Ariana paused, then said, "Not exactly, just that the current situation has become uncertain. My parents are also disappointed in you, and me too."
Vincent nervously forced a hug, "Ari......I'm sorry, please give me another chance! It is not like what Jane said."
Hearing his words, Ariana sneered in her heart. Even now, Vincent still refuses to let go. Poor Jane thought she could rely on him to climb the ladder.
She pushed Vincent away, and said in a helpless tone, "Even if I wanted to forgive you, it would be hard to get past my parents. You'd better show sincerity, otherwise, our engagement will be in danger."
After hearing her words, Vincent was stunned. He seemed to find it hard to accept.
Ariana knew that Gilbert was suspicious of her and told the truth, "I don't know either, but it was just a coincidence, I suppose."
"Where was he hurt?" Gilbert asked with a furrowed brow.
After all, Lambert is a member of the Stone family, his identity is not ordinary. If word gets out that Jane has hurt him, and reached the ears of Old Mr. Stone, the relationship between the White family and Stone family would probably worsen.
However, what surprised him was that Lambert was rumored to be a prodigal son. Last time, he openly confessed his love and kissed Ariana, who was already engaged, which was absurd, indeed. However, when Ariana was in danger, he didn't hesitate to save her.
Ariana replied, "His shoulder. It's been taken care of."
Gilbert breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Remember to thank the person properly."
"Yes, but…about Jane…" She hesitates, "The doctor says she needs to stay in the hospital for a quicker recovery."
Gilbert was somewhat troubled, "Well, in this current situation, we can only listen to the doctor."
"Alright."
With Gilbert's consent, Ariana cast a cold gaze towards the door of Jane’s ward and smiled faintly.
She paused for a moment before adding, "By the way, Dad, Jane is currently emotionally unstable and should not have any visitors. Why don’t we wait until she is more stable before visiting her?”
Without any suspicion towards Ariana’s words, coupled with the guilt he felt for hitting Jane in a fit of disappointment and anger a few days ago, Gilbert sighed, "It's the only thing we can do."
Inside the ward, Jane, who was put to sleep by sedatives, was suddenly picked up by someone. Startled awake, she saw a doctor in uniform trying to lift her.
