My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 32

Hendrix's eyes widened slightly. His pitch- black eyes fell on me for a moment before he began

introducing the family to me briefly.

The man was the owner of this courtyard. His name was Albert Lance, the son of a prominent family in

the medical field. As he had a passion for food and herbs, he helped to cultivate herbs in the courtyard.

The elegant and beautiful woman earlier was his wife, Sandra Miles, and that one-year-old child was

his son.

After a simple greeting, I got a little nervous. It took me a lot of effort to hide my pregnancy from

Hendrix. If Albert accidentally exposed it, what should I do?

I was a little worried. I couldn't help but look at Josiah, hoping that he would come up with a solution.

At that moment, Sandra walked in with the stew. She looked at me and said with a smile, "Mrs.

Roberts, have a taste. I liked to drink this soup when I was pregnant. Although it tastes strange, my

husband added some herbs that are nutritious. It's very good for your health. How long have you been

pregnant?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

All of a sudden, I broke out in a cold sweat. I looked at her and replied with a smile, "Originally, it was 6

weeks old, but Hendrix and I weren't ready, therefore we didn't keep the baby."

Hearing what I said, she was stunned. She looked at me in surprise and said doubtfully, "You don't look

like-" "Mrs. Lance, it's the symptoms of a pseudopregnancy, a typical side effect of terminating a

pregnancy. It will disappear with time. I really admire you and your husband to be able to be so

knowledgeable in medicine to the point that you could tell the state of the patient's body just by looking

at them." Josiah, who was drinking tea, finally made a statement.

For a moment, Albert squinted but smiled instantly. He didn't say anything else, but Sandra seemed to

suspect otherwise. However, she only smiled and chatted with me after a while.

After we finished the meal, Albert said something in his wife's ear. She looked at me, startled, before

nodding and went out.

Albert looked at Hendrix and said, "It's rare for you to come over, hence I've prepared some medicine

for Mrs. Roberts to help her with a speedy recovery. Take it back with you and take care of her. It's not

difficult to have a child."

Hendrix nodded and looked at me with his dark eyes. There was no emotion in his eyes, thus I couldn't

figure out what he was thinking.

I had the feeling that he brought me here to let Albert check my condition. As for the purpose, I couldn't

figure out why.

I wasn't sure about it, therefore I didn't say a word until we left.

When we got into the car, it was already evening. Austin never really liked me. He urged Hendrix to

send me back as he looked at me with annoyance.

I didn't argue with him. Knowing that they might still have something to do, I got off the car saying that I

would take a taxi back and let them go about their business.

Hendrix didn't say much. He only told me to be careful on the way home, and then they left together.

There was a lot on my mind, hence I couldn't sleep even when I got back. I wanted to ask Josiah about

it, but he and Hendrix were together. I then decided to go to Telepathy Bar.

It was getting dark and people were starting to gather at the bar.

Seeing me, Monique acted as if she had seen a ghost. She waved her hands at me frantically and

asked, "Why are you here when you should be recuperating at home?"

"To relieve my boredom," I answered and sat down.

She patted her forehead, seeming as if she was about to explode with frustration. "Miss Reid, you just

had an operation a few days ago. Can you please take care of yourself and stay at home?"

Knowing that she was worried, I replied, "Get me a glass of orange juice. Let's chat."

"I'm not here to help you relieve your boredom!" She went straight to the bar after she said that.

I looked at the crowd in the bar with my chin on my hand, thinking about the reason why Hendrix took

me to Herb Garden. Did he already suspect that I was actually still keeping the child?
