My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 22

Hendrix released his grip. He did not exert a lot of force but a sharp pain traveled from my chin to my

heart.

It hurt so much that it made me curl my toes.

I had yet to recover after being drenched in the rain. Currently, I confronted him but he suddenly

loosened his grip. Immediately, my body gave way and I fell into his arms.

He held me in his arms. After years of training, I could feel his muscles under his clothes. I was weak

and I did not want to quarrel with him. Therefore, I closed my eyes and leaned against him.

"You've gotten smart. You even know how to put up an act!" His low voice rang in my ears. He was still

angry.

He patted my cheeks a few times. It was a little painful. However, I was not feeling too well and I did not

feel like opening my eyes.

He probably came to his senses when I did not respond. He carried me and took me back to my

bedroom.

He put me on the bed and everything was quiet.

I thought he was too lazy to care about me. Shortly after, I heard him making a phone call to Josiah. It

appeared that he was asking Josiah to come and check on me.

I guess that rock was not that cold. Over ten minutes later, I was already half- asleep when I heard

Josiah's voice vaguely.

"Hendrix, have you decided what to do with the child?"

Hendrix replied impatiently, "It's getting late. Go back and rest!"

Sometimes, I felt sorry for Josiah. He was a famous doctor in the world but Hendrix always ordered

Josiah around. It was indeed quite depressing for Josiah.

I tended to sleep a lot. Moreover, I went to a lot of places during the day, thus I was exhausted. It did

not take long for me to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, I was half-awake when someone pulled me into his arms. I tried to open my

eyes but I was too sleepy and gave up.

The next day.

When I woke up, Hendrix was no longer in the villa. Without a doubt, he went to visit Andrea.

The previous day, I made an appointment with Richard. After I got ready, I headed to the hospital.

Evelyn knew that I was coming, hence she waited for me at the hospital's entrance. She was a little

worried when she saw me. She asked, "Do you really want to get rid of the child? Aren't you going to

discuss it with Mr. Roberts?"

I knew that she was concerned about me. I smiled and went into the hospital with her. "It's okay, don't

worry!"

Richard arranged for a doctor to perform the surgery. After entering the hospital, I did a basic check-up.

After that, I got the green light to perform the surgery.

Evelyn was worried. She tugged my arm and tried to persuade me to stop the procedure. "Mrs.

Roberts, although you're young, you're going to harm your body. Think about it thoroughly!"

I nodded. It was time for the surgery. I patted her hand and comforted her, "It's okay!"

I followed a nurse into the operating theater. It was a middle-aged woman who was carrying out the

operation. She spotted me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, well give you anesthetic and you will fall asleep.

You won't feel any pain, therefore you don't have to be nervous!"

I nodded and lay down on the operating table. As expected, I soon lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in a hospital bed.

I opened my eyes and spotted Hendrix glaring at me as he pursed his thin lips tightly. The temperature

in the ward was very low. His black eyes were cruel and furious.

I never saw him act like that. My heart skipped a beat. I raised my hand to pull him instinctively but he

brushed me off.

I parted my lips to speak but I swallowed everything I wanted to say. I averted my gaze and closed my

eyes quietly.

"How cruel of you, Arianna!" Upon finishing that, he turned around to leave.
