Chapter 17
Andrea wept sadly as she held onto Hendrix's arm desperately. She looked like a pitiful and helpless
lost child.
Hendrix held her in his arms and comforted her, "Andrea, you're not alone. I won't leave you on your
own. Calm down!"
Andrea stared at him. Her eyes were red and swollen. "Don't let her give birth to the child, please? I
beg you, Hendrix. Don't let her give birth to the child or I'll die!"
She spoke resolutely.
Hendrix stared at her and his eyes were clouded with anger. He scolded, "Andrea, stop messing
around!"
Andrea pushed him away abruptly. She picked up a fruit knife hurriedly and slashed her wrist.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Hendrix probably never expected Andrea to resort to that.
He went cold and immediately snapped back to his senses. He bit back his fear and held Andrea in his
arms. He decided to send her to the emergency ward immediately.
However, Andrea held onto the headboard of the bed tightly and refused to let go. Her eyes were red
as she insisted, "Don't let her have the baby!"
I was shocked. Andrea seemed to be very against the idea of me having a child. I stared at Hendrix. I
did not wait for him to speak. I reassured her, "Andrea, don't worry. The baby... I'll..." I suppressed the
pain in my heart and said, "I'll get rid of the baby!"
"Arianna!" Hendrix was enraged. His black eyes were dyed in red.
"If you don't send her to the emergency ward now, she'll die. You'll suffer even more if she's gone!" I
said as I tried my best to hold back the bitterness in my heart.
Hendrix pursed his lips and his dark eyes glanced at me before carrying Andrea out of the ward
hurriedly.
In the empty ward, I stared at the bloodstains that were left behind by Andrea. It was glaring and cold.
My fever had subsided but I still needed to get an IV drip. However, I was not in the mood to stay in the
hospital. I refused the IV drip and got discharged from the hospital.
After the thunderstorm the previous night, Ucrebury seemed to be rejuvenated. I left the hospital but I
did not go back to the villa. Instead, I went straight to the Roberts Group.
When I arrived at the lobby of the company, the receptionist spotted me and rushed to me. She
explained, "Director Reid, Mrs. Hammer from the government hospital is waiting for you in your office.
She has been waiting for fifteen minutes."
I nodded and pressed the button to the elevator. I glanced at her and replied, "Tell Kelsey to prepare
some gifts. It's a token for Mrs. Hammers. It doesn't need to be too expensive but it must be sincere." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The receptionist nodded.
I got in the elevator and pressed the button to my office. I made a phone call to Josiah. After two rings,
he answered the call. "Arianna!"
To my surprise, it was the first time that he called me by my name. I frowned and asked, "Are you free
tonight? Let's meet up."
He seemed to be caught off-guard. He paused and answered, "Okay. What time and where?"
"I'll text you later!" I arrived at the designated floor as the elevator door opened. I hung up and sent
Josiah the time and location.
Following that, I went to the washroom to touch up my makeup before returning to my office.
After being with Hendrix for two years, I was not unaccomplished. I failed to make him fall in love with
me but I was able to build my career.
At least, I went from a clueless girl to someone who could tackle various problems effortlessly. I
seemed to have grown up.
In the office, a middle-aged woman sat elegantly on a black sofa. She was wearing a plain floral gown.
She was staring at her mobile phone and she appeared to be checking her messages.
I knocked on the door lightly to announce my presence and walked in smilingly. I greeted, "I'm sorry,
Mrs. Hammer. The traffic was terrible. I'm so sorry to keep you waiting!"
Evelyn got up to shake hands with me and chuckled, "It's okay. I just got here too."
