My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1378

I pursed my lips, feeling a little aching sensation on my head. "Naomi, perhaps Sebastian is not the right guy for you after all," I said. "You deserve better."

There was a long pause. After Naomi collected herself, she said, "Arianna, did you find out something about Sebastian? Is he seeing another girl? Is that why you're saying such things?"

In retrospect, I realized that I did not quite put things right. Momentarily, my mind went blank. "No, I was just telling you not to overly invest in this relationship," I said. "Don't dwell too much on it. I'm a little busy these days. When I'm free, let's meet up with Wendy for dinner. By the way, how’s Wendy doing?"

Naomi was truly a straightforward person. Immediately after my explanation, she stopped wallowing and replied, "Well, she's fine. But I think she's a little odd. She likes standing by the window to enjoy the cool breeze. And she doesn't talk much. She talks gibberish at times as if she is unwell. I don't think she has what it takes to be a businesswoman. I mean, nobody likes dealing with someone who's so strange. It may seem ominous."

"I accidentally saw her taking a shower yesterday,” she continued. "There's a long scar on the left side of her chest. Perhaps she has been injured before? I didn't dare to ask her since I'm not particularly close to her. Are you close to her though? I don't really know her well, so I was a bit scared."

I frowned slightly. "She's actually alright... She got depression over an incident involving her dad. From what you said, I reckon she should still be able to control her emotions. Have a chat with her and try comforting her when you have time."

Since Josiah's bone marrow did not match, the next best solution was to head over to Asherton as soon as possible. I was not sure if the name card given by Sebastian would help. Anyway, I had to give it a shot.

I rang Valerie and asked about Pedro. She said he had calmed down and was no longer in a hurry to head over to Asherton. I wondered what Hendrix told him...
