Chapter 272
But... Now?
What did she do? Did she take his words to heart?
Henry's expression became gloomier.
Harriet picked up food for him, "I saw that Rufus was still hiding when he went in. He was very close to
Arya..."
"Do you know Rufus?"
"I heard Arya call him that." Harriet reacted quickly.
Henry had no appetite to eat before, and now he had lost his appetite at all. He stood up, pulled out his
chair, and walked towards the study. Harriet followed him, "Henry, why don't you ask Rufus about his
relationship with sister-in-law, or ask him to stay away from her? After all..."
Henry didn't want to hear anything, "Leave me alone."
Harriet stopped as soon as she saw his expression. Now Henry obviously didn't want to talk to her.
Anyway, she had planted a seed of doubt in his heart.
In the hospital.
Arya had just laid down when her phone rang. It was Caspar who called and asked if she had seen
Alice.
"I don't know." She had been taking care of Ryan all this time. She even didn't go to the company. She
had never seen Alice, nor had she received a call from her.
Arya asked, "Did you two fight?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Caspar also knew that Ryan was still in the hospital and didn't say anything about Alice's divorcing him.
"No, it's okay. I'll hang up first."
Arya answered and hung up the phone. She didn't believe Caspar. It didn't sound like he was fine but
rather anxious.
Thinking about the last time he said that Alice was infertile, she probably guessed why.
So she called Orlando and asked him, "Do you know where Alice went?"
Orlando was holding the phone in one hand and the glass in the other. He was about to clink a glass
with Alice. When he heard Arya's question, he paused.
He looked at Alice and asked Arya, "Did Caspar call you?"
Arya said yes.
Orlando looked at Alice as if he was asking for her opinion.
Alice shook her head, indicating him to say nothing.
Orlando nodded and replied to Arya, "I don't know where she is now.
Arya stood at the window, obviously not believing Orlando's words, because he could not answer right
away.
"Put Alice on the phone."
Orlando unconsciously looked at Alice, "I'm really not with her..."
"Orlando, you can't lie to me. If I'm right, you should be drinking. She's sitting right across from you."
Orlando was discouraged and said to the phone, "Women who are too smart aren't attractive."
Then he handed the phone to Alice and said with a smile, "She's too smart. We can't fool her."
Alice put down the glass in her hand and picked up the phone.
Arya wasn't trying to persuade her. She was an adult and had her own thoughts. She just wanted to
say to her, "He's quite worried. If you have any thoughts, you should sit down with him and talk to him."
"I know, but..."
Having no children became the biggest threat to their marriage. Caspar could accept adoption or no
children at all, but his family could not accept it. She was always facing their insinuation that she was
afraid to go home.
She didn't want to face anyone in his family.
Arya didn't know how to comfort her, "Anyway, contact him and don't let him worry about you."
"Okay." Alice didn't hang up immediately, but she didn't say anything, "Is Ryan better?"
She deliberately changed the subject and didn't want to talk about herself.
"The doctor said the operation was successful. After a period of observation, if there were no problem,
we can go home ."
"I'll go see him when I'm free."
"OK."
After ending the call with Alice, Arya turned around and saw Ryan looking at her.
Arya quickly walked over, "Ryan, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ryan shook his head. He didn't feel like talking much and was weak.
Arya lowered her head and kissed his forehead. Her Ryan was finally healthy. The thorn in her heart
could finally be removed.
"Mommy, hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Ryan's voice was hoarse.
Arya's hand, which was touching his hair, paused slightly. Soon, she calmed down and said to Ryan
with a smile, "He will come back."
This was what she believed.
Ryan blinked, his long eyelashes flashing. "Mommy, will you sleep with me?"
Arya said, "Okay."
There were still many instruments attached to his body, constantly monitoring his physical condition.
Arya did not dare to touch him at all. She could only lie on her side next to him and gently stroke his
hair, "Night night."
Arya didn't know when she fell asleep. In a daze, she heard something moving at the door. She slowly
opened her eyes and looked at the time. It was already 12 o'clock. She gently got out of bed, walked to
the door, opened the door, and asked about the situation...
"Who..."
