While the conversation continued, Ariana stayed quiet, her attention drifting to outside the window.

Outside, the two children were holding hands, waving at Ariana and shouting something.

Although Ariana was too far away from them to hear them, she imagined they were calling her “Mommy”.

Ariana’s face lit up with a smile as she waved back.

After exchanging waves for a bit, Melon and Adele turned to the snowman.

Ariana watched as Melon affixed a piece of fruit for the snowman’s nose and wrapped a scarf around its neck.

Beside him, Adele patted the snowman, her expression one of pure delight.

Assured that the children were content and safe, Ariana drew her attention back to the lively discussion around her.

The conversation had veered away from the celebrity to a scandal a few years ago involving a prominent male producer who had taken advantage of young, inexperienced women in the entertainment industry.

Sonia, enraged, pounded on the table and swore loudly.

Seizing the moment, Maxwell discreetly replaced her alcoholic beverage with juice, concerned she might become overly intoxicated and cause a scene.

Ariana, who was slicing her steak, contributed to the conversation sporadically.

After a while, she peered out the window again.

She intended to check if the children were showing signs of fatigue, but instead, her eyes landed on a stranger.

The man, donned in a gray hat, was squatting with his back turned, engaging in a conversation with Melon.

Something about that back struck a chord of familiarity.

As Ariana puzzled over the man’s identity, the man seemed to feel her stare.

He swiveled his head around to meet her gaze through the glass.

In an instant, Ariana’s complexion turned ashen, and her cutlery clattered to the floor.

The people around her instantly reacted with concern.

Ariana rose abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor, and fixed her gaze outside the window, her voice shaking as she said, “Moss… Moss is down there with the children!”

Everyone was taken aback by Ariana’s announcement.

They simultaneously stood and peered in the direction Ariana was looking.

Moss, spotting them, waved enthusiastically, his smile wide and unmistakable.

Holden’s gaze was sharp.

He promptly grabbed his phone and instructed his team to prepare to apprehend Moss.

At that moment, protecting the two children was paramount.

The mystery of how Moss had infiltrated the well-guarded hospital would need to be addressed later.

Holden issued orders to keep an eye on Moss and then spun around, only to see Ariana already sprinting ahead of him.

He quickly caught up, and they hurried down the stairs together, hand in hand.

After Ariana had spotted Moss, her complexion paled, yet her primary concern was for her children’s safety, the worry causing her to tremble with fear.

Holden soothed her by patting her hand gently.

“Don’t worry.

Moss won’t be able to get out of here,” he said.

“Okay,” Ariana replied, though her heart continued to quiver with anxiety.
