I was quite puzzled but didn't show it, pretending to be calm..
"Why are you here?" Lisa had no sympathy or fondness for Ariel. All her manners and etiquette were thrown out the window.
Ariel walked in with a bouquet of flowers in hand. She put the flowers by my bed and spoke in a scared tone. "Ma'am, I rushed over last night after hearing from a friend about the fire at Joshua's place. I was concerned for his parents' safety. I didn't expect to find Eliana at Joshua's family's home and was injured at that. So I came over to take care of her."
Lisa's face was as cold as ice. "Really? What a coincidence! Did you start the fire?"
After Lisa's response, Ariel's face instantly turned white, as if a secret had been exposed.
Lisa's accusation was offhand, but it got me suspicious. Given Ariel's character, she could indeed do such a thing. But how could she know I was there?
