My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 830
I nodded and put away my phone. I said, "She's pregnant. It's not safe for her to come back and forth like this."
He nodded in agreement and said, "Go pick her up later. Be careful."
I nodded. I called the nurse to change his dressing for him before I left.
Freya said that she would come to the hospital by taxi, so I didn't need to go and pick her up. However, I was still worried about her, so I booked a taxi for her. After making all the necessary arrangements, I went to the hotel to book another room.
Fortunately, the airport was not too far away. She arrived half an hour later and dropped her luggage off at the hotel.
Although she was wearing a large and loose coat, I could still see that her belly had gotten much bigger.
"It's going to be New Year's Eve soon. It's snowing heavily in Jarold city. Are you going celebrate the New Year's in Hanlusia City this year?"
She put the clothes in the closet while asking me.
I sighed slightly. Then, I replied, "It's not decided yet. Hendrix is seriously injured. He may need to recuperate in Hanlusia City for a period of time."
She put her luggage down and looked sideways at me. Her expression turned serious as she said, "The Saunders family have been arrogant for so many years. It's time for them to step back."
"It's not the Saunders family's fault. Josiah was the one who did all that. He never really recovered from Natalie's death. Later on, with Monique's departure, his mental state deteriorated even more."
She sat down on the sofa and involuntarily sighed. "Being a human is hard. Some wounds have to be treated by ourselves. Otherwise, if we suppress our injuries for too long, we will not only hurt ourselves but others as well," she said to me.
I lowered my head, pondering. Life was full of uncertainties. How could we judge if something was right or wrong with just one sentence?
Seeing that I was staying quiet, she looked at me and asked, "What did the Saunders family say?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Hendrix probably doesn't intend to continue pursuing the matter. He just handed the whole matter over to the police to handle it. Maybe he'll be sentenced to a few years in jail."
She frowned and said with some pity, "I think he is only about 35 or 36 years old now. He will be over forty years old when he gets released from the jail. After all, he is a member of the Saunders family. It's inevitable that he will be criticized by others after he is released."
I pursed my lips, not knowing how to reply to her.
After chatting for a while, it was getting late. I had originally planned to let her rest in the hotel. However, she unexpectedly insisted on going to the hospital to see Hendrix.
I agreed because I was worried about leaving her alone in the hotel.
Valerie and Pedro were already at the hospital when we arrived. They had cooked and brought some food with them.
Upon seeing Freya and I, Pedro looked toward Freya and scolded her, "How can you travel around like that when you are pregnant? You really know how to make me worry." Freya said in a mildly mischievous tone, "Pedro, I'm still in the early months of pregnancy, so I can still travel around. I won't travel around while I'm heavily pregnant." Pedro shot her a glare but didn't retort.
Valerie took out all the dishes, looked at me and said, "Come here. Let's eat first. We'll talk later."
Pedro pursed her lips and stopped reprimanding her. He motioned to Freya to return to the hotel and rest immediately after she finished eating.
Not long after, Zachary came too. He said that he was worried about letting her come alone.
The two of them seemed to be quarreling yet flirting with each other at the same time. They left after finishing the food.
Valerie and Pedro did not allow me to continue staying in the hospital alone for the night. They insisted on staying with me.
I could not stop them, so I decided to let them do what they wanted.
Fortunately, the ward was pretty spacious, and there were sofas and beds. Unfortunately, as we all were staying back, we didn't feel as comfortable as we were at home.
With Valerie and Pedro around, it was much more convenient to change Hendrix's position and to help him up at night. Sometimes, when I had fallen asleep, Valerie and Pedro would gently help Hendrix to go to the bathroom.
