My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1228

"Whoever is dissatisfied may leave the Hayes Family and never be protected by the Hayes Family from then on." Because of that one sentence in Master Hayes' will, she couldn't do much. Master Hayes must have guessed that there will be people who are dissatisfied with Tobias, which is why he said that. However, since Master Hayes had already left, the Hayes family will not do anything obvious to Tobias, but will definitely do something in private. It is likely that things will be hard for Tobias.

Hendrix and I bid Master Hayes farewell and were ready to take our leave.

"Mr. Roberts, let's have a chat?" Tobias chased after us. Perhaps it was because Master Hayes had just left, Tobias was still shaken up. He looked near to breaking down.

Hendrix looked at him with a calm expression and said softly, "Whatever you have to say, you can say it next time, Mr. Hayes. I believe you have something more important to do than talking to me now." After that, he took my hand and we left, leaving

Tobias standing there alone.

In the car.

I couldn't help but ask, "There are so many descendants in the Hayes Family. Why did Master Hayes choose Tobias in the end?"

Hendrix looked at me and asked, "There are so many men in this world. Why did you choose me in the end?"

I was speechless. What kind of question was he asking?

Fine!

No more questions from me.

Back at the hotel, my phone kept ringing. When I answered the call, a cry came from the other end, "Mrs. Roberts, I know that you have helped us so much. I shouldn't be coming to you again, but I really have no other choice. I can only come to you. Please. Rita's surgical fee is two hundred thousand dollars short. Can you please loan it to me? I know, this is too shameless of me, but there's really no other way. I can only come to you. I don't have any other choice."

It was Sonia's mother.

My brows furrowed. I wanted to reject her request, but as a soft-hearted person, I still hesitated. After a moment of silence, I said, "Madam, didn't you get enough money for the surgery? How come you are two hundred thousand dollars short now?"

She choked. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told that b*stard son of mine that 200,000 dollars of compensation were given to Sonia. I shouldn't have said that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stolen the money and used it all up gambling. It's all my fault. Why is it not me who is sick? Oh, my God!"

The more Sonia's mother told me, the more she sobbed and cried. My brows knitted. Sonia's brother was a gambler. Evan had investigated him before, but I didn't expect him to steal the money that could save one's life. He was really heartless.

I stayed quiet for a moment. Then, I said, "Madam, I can lend you the money, but this is the last time. But I'm only doing this for the child's sake. I hope that you can take good care of it and only use it to save the child. Don't lose it again."

Upon hearing my conditions, she promised repeatedly in a hoarse voice.

Life was difficult for everyone.

Hendrix came out of the bathroom after his shower. I hung up the phone and transferred the money to the card Sonia's mother gave me.

He just took a look and asked faintly, "Do you want to go out tomorrow?"

I was taken aback by that. I shook my head and said, "Don't you have things to deal with back at the company? We've done what we need to do here by visiting Master Hayes. When are we going back?" He handed me the towel and said, "I'm afraid we can't go back for a period of time. We have to attend his funeral before leaving."

Oh right. I'd forgotten about that.

I could only nod my head. I couldn't help but let out a sigh, feeling a little frustrated.
