My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1267

Her appearance at this moment was vastly different from the first time I saw her. The treatment and chemotherapy made this child look like a thin and bony skeleton. The bones in her small hands were jarringly obvious now. The child was asleep. I looked at her thin face and felt a slight pain in my heart.

I sat down beside the bed, wondering if I could ask Hendrix to find a good doctor or a hospital to treat Rita. After undergoing repeated chemotherapy like this, her hair was already gone.

Rita woke up at the moment I took out my phone and was about to send Hendrix a message. When she saw me, she was startled. She looked at me and said, 'Auntie."

I nodded and looked at her. Hence, I asked softly, "Did I wake you up?"

She shook her head, looked at me and asked softly, "Did my grandparents go out?"

"Yes," I answered. "Rita, do you want some water? I'll pour some for you," I asked.

She shook her head and said, "I'm not thirsty, Auntie!"

I smiled lightly and held her bony hand. I felt sad for her and asked, "Rita, are you hungry?"

She shook her head. Probably she had just woken up, so she did not want to talk. She looked at the ceiling with her eyes. It seemed that this action had been repeated countless times.

I wasn't a chatty person. I didn't know what to say at that point, so I could only stay by her side in silence.

I held the notebook and was stunned for a second. Thus, I nodded and asked, "Your mom's diary?"

She nodded and said, "Yes. I don't know how to read. Grandma said that it could help you, but you have to keep it safe now and take a look only after you get home. Otherwise, someone will be after you."

While speaking, the little girl gestured at me to put the diary in my bag. I did. After chatting with her for a while, Sonia's parents returned.

They looked at me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, thank you for your help these few days."

I shook my head slightly and said, "You're welcome. You don't have to worry about Rita's medical fees anymore. If any problems arise, I will find a way to deal with it."
