Ariana cleared her throat awkwardly.
âWe live under the same roof.
We should at least know what the other person is up to.
â
With her arms folded, Sonia narrowed her eyes and watched Ariana carefully.
Then she spotted something on Arianaâs neck.
She reached out to touch and rub it, to find a thick layer of concealer.
Under it was a love bite!
âWow! I got you!â Sonia exclaimed.
Ariana stood and reached her hand over Soniaâs mouth.
âQuiet! Itâs not what you think.

Unable to speak, Sonia blinked up at Ariana innocently.
âIâll take my hand away if you promise not to shout,â Ariana bargained.

âItâs very suspicious that he doesnât do any kind of physiotherapy.
But I remember you saying the doctor gave him a low chance of recovery, even with physiotherapy.

Sonia, clearly amused, said, âWow, you know him so well.

Ariana felt helpless under Soniaâs teasing.
âIâm serious! Iâve suspected from the beginning that heâs not actually disabled.
â
âThen go and test it out.
Youâre living under the same roof.
Iâm sure there are many things you could try.
â
âYouâre right.
I just need to test him!â
Ariana instantly felt lighter.
She patted Soniaâs arm happily.
As they were talking, Sonia received a message.
She glanced at it, and her expression shifted.
