My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 23

I stared at his back and sighed. We could no longer go back to how it was before and it was for the

best.

"Miss Reid, aren't you worried that Mr. Roberts might hate you?" An aged voice came from the door.

Richard came in with my medical report and checked on me. He continued, "It's his child after all. Even

if you managed to lie to him this time, what about next time? The truth will out."

I smiled and sat up from the bed. I took the medical report from him and flipped through it. I uttered

gratefully, "There is no next time. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Hammer!"

I put away the medical report. I was ready to get out of bed and leave when Richard stopped me. He

glanced at me and explained, "Remember your plan. Now you're pretending to be a woman who went

through surgery. Have you ever any woman could get out of bed immediately after that?"

That was true!

I lay down on the bed again and stared at Richard. I reminded him, "Hendrix is very careful. He'll

probably send someone to check my medical report. Mr. Hammer, I'll need your help with that."

He chuckled and he seemed a little helpless. He sighed, "Alas! Why can't you live a peaceful life? Why

do you have to cause so much trouble? But I promised that I would help you, hence I will deal with

everything!"

I nodded and thanked him, "I'm sorry to trouble you and Mrs. Hammer." It would be better if few knew

about it.

He smiled and nodded before leaving.

That morning, I lay on the bed. The doctor came over and cautioned me about the things that I should

pay attention to. After that, I took my medicine and left the hospital.

Kelsey was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. She helped me get into the car. I stared at her and

asked, "Find a way to let Andrea know that I did not carry on with my pregnancy."

She nodded. She started the car and sent me back to the villa.

Hendrix was not around. I asked Kelsey to go back to the company. I just had surgery and I did not

have anything to do, therefore I slept.

However, before I could fall asleep, I heard a car downstairs. I strode to the balcony and spotted

Hendrix and Josiah.

As expected, Hendrix did not even want to look at me. He just asked Josiah to come and check on me.

I lay down on my bed. Josiah entered with his medical bag. He raised his eyebrow when he saw me.

He motioned me to stretch out my hand so that he could take my pulse.

I extended my arm to him and stared at him. I asked, "Did you bring the medicine?"

He glanced at me and replied, "You're so good at acting!"

I did not reply. He felt my pulse and took some medicine from his bag. He stared at me and explained,

"This medicine is great for your baby. Remember to take them on time. The baby will do well if you're

emotionally stable."

After reminding me, Josiah went downstairs. I switched the medicine that I got from the hospital with

Josiah's.

I lay back down on the bed. I just pretended to lose my child, hence I needed to rest for a while.

Therefore, it was not a big deal for Richard to delay the payment for a week. However, it would be

suffocating for me to stay in the villa for a week.

Initially, I thought that Hendrix would only be angry for a while after I got rid of the baby. He would

probably let it slide when Andrea calmed down.

Little did I know that it was only the beginning of my problems with Hendrix.

There were only a few people in the villa. Hendrix did not come back to the villa because I did not want

the baby. I was more than happy that he was not home. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In order to act the part, I stayed in the villa and did not go out. I would ask Kelsey to send me anything I

needed.
