My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1740

"My life is linked to yours, we live and die together. Thus, I will cure you for myself. Arianna, do you trust me?"

Hendrix's voice was extremely low, but each word pounded heavily on my heart.

There would always be a person who made you feel that time was nothing. With him, you would have nothing to fear.

"I believe you." I held his hand and all my worries were swept away. Even if there was only one last day left in my life, I had to live without regret.

Hendrix stayed at Reid Manor until the early hours of the morning. I stood on the balcony and felt a feeling of the ground dispersing under my feet as I watched his figure disappear in the back garden.

At that time, my cell phone suddenly rang in the bedroom. I turned around and saw that the phone on the coffee table was vibrating.

It was two o'clock in the morning, so a phone call at this time was really strange, but I couldn't sleep, so I turned to go into the room and picked up the phone.

I glanced at the caller ID. It was Zoel. After waiting for a while, I pressed the answer button.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Parker?" I said in an unhappy tone.

In the end, Zoel and the people who'd poisoned me were on the same side. My good feelings for him had been completely washed away, so there was no need to pretend to be polite.

"Yes," he said gravely. "It's my fault today. I've thought about it. You're right. I went too far, I hope you won't take it to heart."

He was apologizing? Was this necessary?

Or was he worried that if he offended me, I would leave Dawnie Firm in a fit of anger and it would affect their plan?

"Well, about that, I've already put it behind me. Mr. Parker, it seems like you can do whatever you want, even calling your female colleague at this late hour. Aren't you afraid that people will gossip about you?" A dying person like me had nothing to worry about, so of course I would chastise and humiliate him as payback. He had it coming by calling me right now.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. "I didn't think it through and disturbed your rest. Sorry."

I retorted, "Since you're sorry, you should hang up. By the way, you've been fired. Goodbye."

Without giving him a chance to continue, I hung up the phone directly.

In this situation, Aaron nor Hendrix would allow me to go to the Dawnie Firm to act undercover. The intensity of work needed there was too much for my health to bear.

Freya did not know that I'd been poisoned. The next day, she called me on the phone to accompany her to an opening ceremony.

The Moore family had a knack for doing business. For Freya, her knack was in investments. As long as she had her eyes on something, that particular stock would definitely go up. Before this, she entrusted her money in investment companies. It ended up that those companies had earned quite the share of commissions through Freya's investments. Freya decided to set up her own investment company after that. She only had to allocate monthly salaries for her employees, and the rest of the earnings belonged to her. It saved her a lot of money.

People in business were shrewd and clever indeed.

When we arrived, Freya was in the office mentoring the traders. She looked as vigorous as any young and promising president.

Seeing me, she immediately sent them away and walked towards me. "Where's Emma? Didn't I give her an invitation too?"

"Oh, her magazine's chief editor suddenly needed everyone for a meeting, and she couldn't get out of it. She asked me to apologize to you," I said lightly.

In fact, Emma had been worried that she wouldn't be able to hide the thing with Zachary from Freya, so she deliberately avoided her.

"What magazine? How dare they keep my friends from me. They're asking for it." Freya was not very happy, but she didn't take it to heart. She went on chirping and introduced me to her company.
