Maria had been cooped up in the hospital for a week, and today she finally had the chance to stretch her legs with a walk around the artificial lake. Her body felt stiff from lying down for so long, and the cool breeze against her skin was a welcrelief from the heat. Herman walked beside her and asked, "Are you thirsty?" "A little," Maria replied.

"Wait here, I'll grab swater," he said, turning to leave.

"Okay." Maria smiled, watching him walk away before turning her attention back to the lake. The hospital grounds, usually weighed down by an oppressive atmosphere, seemed lighter with people around, many of whom were also enjoying the fresh air. "Ha, what a two-faced woman," a snide voice suddenly interrupted her peace.

Maria turned to see Diana standing a short distance away, glaring at her with hostility.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Maria asked, blinking innocently. "That's quite an interesting self-reflection." "I'm talking about you!" Diana snapped, storming closer. "You already have a boyfriend, so why are you trying to seduce Sidney? Does he even know you're stringing along two men at once?" Maria watched her for a moment, amused by her self-righteous attitude.

"And who exactly do you think you are?" she asked coolly.

Diana's face darkened. "Did you just insult me?" Maria's lips curved into a smirk. "Oh, I'm just getting started. If you say one more word, I won't hesitate to slap you. Want to test that theory?" Her relaxed but bold demeanor, combined with the cold gleam in her eyes, made Diana falter for a moment. Trying to steady herself, Diana said, "I chere to warn you stay away from Sidney. He's mine." Maria raised an eyebrow. "Oh, well, since you're so adamant about it, now I'm even more inclined to go after him." "You...!" Diana was stunned, not expecting such a shameless response. "Are you serious? I told you, he's mine!" Smack! Without a second thought, Maria slapped Diana across the face, not bothering to hold back.

"Did you think my warning was just background noise?" Maria said calmly, watching Diana's shocked expression. She noticed she felt a little out of breath from the effort-clearly, her body still hadn't fully recovered from lying in bed for so long.

Diana's face twisted with fury as she raised her hand, ready to strike back. "How dare you slap me, you bitch! I'll tear your face apart!" But before Diana could land the blow, her wrist was grabbed and forcefully pushed aside, causing her to stumble. She nearly fell but caught herself, looking up to see Sidney standing next to Maria, his eyes cold and indifferent as they rested on her.

"You..." Diana stammered, panic flickering across her face. "When did you get here?" "I heard everything," Sidney said, his voice icy. "And tell me, when exactly did I becyours?" He asked bluntly, not sparing her even a shred of dignity.

Diana's face turned pale, then flushed, as she bit her lip. "But you were always so kind tobefore.

Didn't that mean you were considering a relationship with me?"

"You misunderstood," Sidney said flatly. "I'm grateful you called for help when my mom choked, but that's it. I don't have any other feelings for you." What? Diana couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She had completely misread the situation? "But... but..."

Diana tried to say something more, but Sidney cut her off. "Apologize to her.

Tears welled up in Diana's eyes as she cried, "Didn't you see? She m slappedfirst! How can you take her side?"
