My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1386

I did not notice that something was amiss with Hendrix while we were heading back to the villa. As I was about to head upstairs to take a shower, he sat on the sofa and said bitterly, "So, you never considered telling me, huh? Aren't you aware that this hurts my feelings?"

I was stunned for a moment. When I looked over at him, I saw him giving me a resentful look. "No, that has never been my intention," I replied. "I wanted to tell you after discussing with my parents."

He looked at me and said, "Why didn’t you tell me then?"

I was exasperated. This man was acting like a kid. "Yes, I'm going to Asherton. I did take into consideration what dad said this morning. I know it doesn't sound convincing, but I can't afford to let Anne wait any longer. So I decided to go to Asherton to find out more about organ trading. If I manage to find matching bone marrow for the transplant, we needn't keep worrying."

He pursed his lips and scowled at me. "Are you going alone?" he said.

I nodded. When I saw his disgruntled look, I could not help but ask, "Can you take a few days off work though? Or do you have a lot of work to attend to?"

He frowned and said, "I'll come along."

I wanted to decline but I held back, knowing that he would not agree. I nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go there together."

Still feeling a little sleepy, I then went upstairs to take a shower, just as Hendrix happened to receive an incoming call.

I nodded and said sleepily, "Alright, freshen up." As I got out of my bed, he carried me to the bathroom. I leaned on his shoulder and let out a few yawns.

I said, "Why the hurry though? I intend to go in a few days. I've actually planned a get-together with Wendy. It surprises me that you want to head over to Asherton so abruptly. I have yet to inform her of this change."

Since I was still feeling drowsy, he had no choice but to wash my face for me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the warm water on my face. At this moment, I was feeling a little awake. He set me down on the counter. Then, he squeezed a dollop of toothpaste on my toothbrush and said, "Well you can arrange to meet her another day. If we’re able to find a matching bone marrow, isn't it better if the transplant can be performed as soon as possible?"

I nodded. He handed me the toothbrush. My drowsiness had subsided at this point. "Yeah, you' re right," I said. I got up and leaned over the sink to brush my teeth. He then brushed my hair with a wooden comb. I felt a little uncomfortable and snorted a few times. "I'll do it myself later," I said.
