"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Anne saw that I was in a daze. She waved her hand in front of my eyes and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm not afraid. Grandma said that there are many people in the world

who are sick. As long as I follow the doctor's instructions, I will be cured."

I nodded. My chest felt stuffy. I knew that I would collapse the moment I spoke. When I saw Valerie enter, I looked at Anne and said, "Anne, talk to Grandma. I'm going out for a while!"

Valerie saw that I was leaving and was about to speak. But when she saw that I was in a hurry to leave, she closed her mouth and didn't say anything.

As soon as I reached the stairs, tears began streaming down my cheeks. Hendrix called, and I took a moment to calm down before answering.

It was very quiet on the other end of the line. After a while, he finally said, "Have you had dinner? Is Anne doing fine?"

"Yes!" I nodded and said, "How's Josiah? Did he agree to the matching?"

"Well, I will bring him to the hospital tomorrow. What's wrong? You sound like you just cried."

I wanted to deny it, but I knew that I couldn't hide it from him, so I said, "Anne lost a lot of weight. I feel horrible seeing her like this."

Remembering what happened with Sebastian, I didn't know how to tell him. Firstly, I couldn't figure out what Sebastian wanted to do. Plus, I couldn't imagine how Sebastian could find a suitable kidney so easily.

"Don't worry. With me by your side, I won't let anything happen to Anne. The maid said that you look a little tired these days. Go home and have a good rest. Don't tire yourself out." His gentle voice came from the phone. It seemed like his temper had been getting better these past few years.

After hanging up the phone, I stayed in the stairwell for a while. Naomi called me. I felt guilty for a moment, but I still picked up the phone.

She spoke in her usual tone, "Arianna, can you pick us up at the airport? We just got off the plane."

I was stunned, "Have you come to Jarold City?"

"Well, I called Sebastian before. He said that you're busy taking care of your daughter. Although I can't help much, I can help you take care of your child. You can rest assured that I will not cause more trouble for you in Jarold City." She muttered. My eyes widened.

My heart warmed and tears welled up in my eyes.

I opened my mouth and said, "Thank you, I..." "Don't be so hypocritical. Come pick us up. Jarold City is so cold. If I had known that, I would have worn more clothes. The cold chilled us to our bones as soon as we got off the plane." She complained.

I said with a smile, "Alright, I'll be right there soon. By the way, who's with you?"

"Oh, I just met a new friend. She came to Jarold City for a business trip and we happened to meet each other. I will introduce her to you later." She said. Her teeth were chattering due to the cold.

I then hung up the phone. I informed Valerie before I left the ward.

She wore very little clothing even though it was winter in Jarold City. I couldn't go home to fetch some clothes for her in time, so I had no choice but to go to the airport to pick her up first.

It was not easy to order a cab. I waited for a while at the hospital entrance and felt irritated when I couldn't get a cab.

"Arianna!" I was stunned when I heard someone calling me. I looked around uncertainly and was surprised to see Yana.
