Chapter 266
After Daisy and Bridget left, Arya took out her phone and dialed a number, but no one answered. Arya
had to hang up and call Edward instead.
At this moment, Edward was talking to Doctor Will. Xavier's condition was not very optimistic. He had
been unconscious for three days after the operation.
Now that Arya called, he didn't dare to answer.
Will was confused, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Edward sighed. "It's his wife who called."
Will understood.
The more times that Edward didn't answer the phone, the more uneasy Arya was, and the more Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
worried she was, concerning that Xavier's treatment wasn't going well.
After two unanswered calls, Arya was worried. She called Nanny Joy and asked her to take care of
Ryan. She went to the company to look for Jacob.
Jacob was watching over the company, and Arya rarely came over. Jacob was surprised when she
suddenly appeared at the company, "Why are you here?"
Especially when Ryan was still in the hospital.
Arya asked directly, "How's Xavier now? Is his treatment not going well?"
If everything went well, why couldn't she contact anyone?
Jacob's expression changed instantly. Edward did tell him about Xavier's current situation, so now that
Arya came to ask him, he didn't know what to say, but he wouldn't avoid like Edward.
Jacob acted very naturally. "A few days ago, Edward called me and said that he would have surgery in
the next two days. Nothing should happen."
Arya looked at Jacob quietly for a few seconds. There was no flaw in his expression, so she slowly
looked back. She always felt very uneasy.
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Edward over there." Jacob tried to comfort her and
reassure her.
Arya held his forehead. "If Edward contacts you again, tell him to call me."
Jacob said quickly, "Okay."
Ryan was still in the hospital. Arya was worried, "I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off."
"No need."
Arya waved her hand.
Jacob called Edward.
Edward picked it up immediately when he saw that it was Jacob calling this time. Before Jacob could
say anything, Edward couldn't wait to say that Arya had called him. "I didn't even dare to answer it. I
don't know what to say to her."
If Jacob was with him now, he would have scolded him. Why was he so stupid? Did he think that Arya
wouldn't think too much as long as he didn't answer the phone?
"If she calls you again, you have to answer the phone."
Edward was not happy, "What should I say? If I told her the truth about Xavier's current situation, don't I
make her worry?!"
Jacob wanted to curse, but he held his temper, "Can't you just say that it's not convenient for him to
answer the phone?"
The expression on Edward's face was funny and unbelievable, "You want me to lie?"
Jacob's face was more darkened. "A white lie is not a lie."
"But..."
"Ryan may have an operation recently. Do you want her to worry both sides?"
Jacob almost yelled at him.
Edward could only say, "I see."
Jacob shouted at the phone, "Are you stupid?!"
'No wonder Bridget doesn't like him. What else could he do besides study some drugs?'
Arya didn't believe Jacob at all. When Jacob came back, she followed him back. As expected, he
called Edward.
Judging by his conversation with Edward, Arya could basically guess that Xavier was in a bad situation.
She wanted to go over and take a look, but Ryan needed her.
Jacob opened the door and was stunned to see Arya standing at the door.
'Why, why is she here?'
Didn't she already leave?
"Tell me the truth. What's going on with him?" It was the first time Arya had spoken to Jacob in such a
serious tone.
She knew they didn't say it was for her good, but the more they did this, the more worried she became.
Jacob wanted to explain, "Actually..."
"I want to know the truth." Arya said word by word.
Jacob had no choice. He could not hide the situation, "He didn't wake up after the operation."
Arya suppressed the emotion inside, "How long has it been?"
"Three days."
"How could this be?" Arya couldn't stand still, and her body trembled. Jacob quickly held her arm.
"Before the operation, the doctor advised him to accept multiple minor operations, but it took a long
time. He chose to do it all at once. It was riskier. He might want to come back quicker, so he would..."
Arya covered her lips. She knew what Xavier was thinking at the time, probably because he was
worried about her situation at home.
"I want to go over. Help me arrange it."
After careful consideration, Arya decided to go over and see what was going on.
"But now Bridget agrees to have the operation, Ryan..."
"I'll be back before the operation."
Arya had already thought about it.
"I'll go." It's not convenient for her to run back and forth now.
Arya looked up at him. "You go? What about the company?"
Jacob thought about it, "Let Orlando..."
"No, he doesn't have the time and energy to manage two companies!" She had to go this time herself,
or she would be worried.
Jacob had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll prepare for it."
"As soon as possible."
She had no time to wait.
Jacob nodded. He was worried about her, "I'll send you back."
Arya refused, "I want to be alone."
Jacob could only leave her.
Arya was wearing flats and a long white dress. Her belly already bulged obviously. Now that she could
feel the movement of the fetus, she stroked her abdomen and walked along the street.
She was in a panic. She didn't know how to calm herself down.
Arya was in a mess. She didn't pay attention to the traffic lights when she walked. When she crossed
the road, she almost had a car accident.
"Hey, are you f*cking blind? The light on the sidewalk is red!" The driver was furious because he almost
hit her.
Arya was also scared, "I'm sorry..."
"What's the use of saying sorry..."
"Stop nagging." When Rufus passed by, he saw the situation here and asked the driver to stop the car.
"It's you that almost bumped into someone!" Rufus walked to the driver's seat and stared at the driver
who had just cursed. "Shut the f*ck up!"
The anger of the driver was gone all of a sudden. Looking at Rufus' expression, the driver did not dare
to go against him.
Arya apologized to the driver, "I'm sorry."
It was her absent-mindedness that caused it.
The driver snorted coldly. Other drivers urged him from behind. The driver drove away.
Arya retreated to the side of the road and waited for the green light.
Rufus followed, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Arya didn't even look at him, leaving two words behind, "No need."
"I heard that Xavier went abroad?" Rufus was not angry, but very patient.
"None of your business!"
