My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1575
After taking our bags, we headed out. At that moment, Hendrix came in through the door. He looked weary, with stubble covering his chin. It seemed that he had just returned from the company. Freya laughed at him. "Wow, is this Mr. Roberts? Did you just come back from a mining site?"
I stretched out my hand and patted her arm to stop her from continuing. Then I said to Hendrix, "You worked overtime all night. Freya will accompany me to the hospital today. You can go upstairs and get some sleep."
Hendrix looked at me, then at Freya. Finally, he insisted, "Wait for me in the car. Give me five minutes, I just have to shave, and I'll be out in no time."
After speaking, he went straight to the bathroom on the first floor. I heard him ordering the servant upstairs to bring him his electric shaver.
Hendrix favored the shaver I chose for him.
After waiting for a while, Freya dragged me out of the house and got into Hendrix's car.
Five minutes later, Hendrix got into the driver's seat and set off to the hospital.
I secretly observed Hendrix's appearance through the rearview mirror and felt that he had returned to normal after shaving his beard. He looked as handsome as ever. No one could tell that he had just been up all night doing work.
Freya was a restless person. Not long after we started driving, she began to blabber, "Mr. Roberts is so busy, yet he still has time to accompany Arianna to the hospital, unlike my husband. We had to wait for a year before he got some free time, but he contributed his holiday to go to that academic meeting instead. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
I felt helpless. It was alright for besties to gossip and complain about their husbands among themselves, but if they complained about their husbands to other men, it would more or less bring shame upon themselves. After giving birth to a child, Freya became increasingly talkative, not knowing when to stop and what she shouldn't say. I made a mental note to lecture her about this in the future.
Hendrix was focused on driving and did not answer immediately. I thought he did not hear it. Then, just as I was about to relax, I heard his low and deep voice.
"I didn't manage to protect her the last two times. If I make the same mistake again, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, so that's why I'm trying to make up for it now."
His words were just right. Hendrix did not deny the fact that he was a good husband at that moment, nor did he belittle Zachary. On the contrary, it could be considered a great way to preserve the dignity of the two men. I immediately burst out laughing upon hearing that, while Freya did not know whether to laugh or cry. She probably did not expect to hear such a response coming from Hendrix.
After all, Hendrix was praising Zachary. If she continued to complain about him, it would feel as if she didn't realize how lucky she was.
Later, we fell into silence and soon arrived at the hospital.
As usual, Amos carried out a basic check-up for me and called Hendrix and the others in. His expression was a little solemn. I felt uneasy and couldn't help feeling that there would be bad news. After all, it was normal to have ups and downs in life.
After a long silence, Amos finally raised his head and looked at Hendrix with a serious expression. "Mr. Roberts, as a husband, don't you even know your own responsibilities?"
The question was so baffling that all three of us were dumbfounded.
Then, Amos' expression changed slightly. He sighed and continue to speak as if he was disappointed in Hendrix, "I thought that you must have done enough research before seeking my treatment. Don't you know that you're not supposed to have sex during the treatment period?"
He wasn't joking at all. In fact, he was slightly furious with us. Hendrix and I were stunned for a moment before our faces flushed red with embarrassment.
Freya watched this scene unfold in amusement. She covered her mouth, snickered, and added, "Ahem... Dr. Jules, please understand. They are both busy people, and it's difficult for them to find time to spend together. Therefore, when they do, they can't restrain their desires."
