My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1320

I pursed my lips and didn't say anything.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, I felt a little sleepy. I've been sleepy quite often recently.

When I returned to the villa, it was getting late. Hendrix still had to deal with the company's affairs, so I went straight back to my bedroom and prepared to sleep. After I took a shower, I was a little surprised to see Wendy's message on my phone.

I only met her once. I didn't expect her to contact me so many times.

There were not many words in her message, just a few greetings. "Miss Reid, are you asleep?"

I replied with a message, "I haven't slept yet! What's wrong? What's the matter with you recently?"

"Nothing!" She only replied that one word to me, and then asked me when I would go back to Asherton. I really had nothing to do in Asherton right now.

After thinking for a while, I asked her, "Do you have something to tell me?"

She responded, "No, I just wanted to ask when you

will come back."

If it were someone else, I would not think twice about this behavior. But she had depression, and was a particularly gloomy person. I knew that she was different from the others.

I replied, "There are still some things to do here recently. When I have time, I will go over. If you have nothing to do, you can come to Jarold City for a trip."

She only replied an OK to me, and then nothing else happened.

Although I felt strange about it, I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed. I didn't even notice when Hendrix came in.

The next day.

I was awoken by the ringtone of my phone. Hendrix turned over and answered the call for me.

I asked sleepily, "Who's calling?"

He didn't answer me in a hurry, but suddenly sat up straight from the bed and was a little surprised.

I was roused by his movement. I looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

He hung up the phone and got out of bed. Then he spoke, "Anne had a lot of nosebleeds and hemoptysis this morning. She just got sent to the hospital."

With that, he put on his clothes and went into the bathroom quickly.

I got up with him, still a little confused. After a while, I realized the seriousness of the problem. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my phone to call Valerie, but I couldn't get through to her phone.

I called Freya. It was a little noisy on the other end. She uttered, "Arianna, come over to the hospital. Anne is ill."

Probably because she was in a hurry, she hung up the phone before she even finished speaking. I didn't have time to think about it, so I found a shirt and put it on carelessly. Hendrix came out of the bathroom. He pulled me with him and drove straight to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Hendrix's cell phone kept ringing. He could not pick up the phone because he was still driving. He looked at me and said, "Pick it up!"

I looked at the caller ID and froze for a second. Then I looked at him and said, "It's from Hanlusia City!"

He nodded.

I turned on the phone, answered the call, "Mr. Roberts, I found out that the factory where the child was sent to is a chemical plant. There are many cases of cancer in that factory. I have inquired about it, and many of the people working there at that time had developed cancer. At present, that place has been sealed off. That factory belongs to the Saunders family."

Seeing that we did not speak, the person on the other side continued, "The factory had an explosion before Mr. Saunders had an accident. At that time, many of the hazardous chemicals leaked out. Everyone involved had gone to do some check ups. Some of them were infected, and some were not."
