My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1493

He was right!

When it really came down to life and death, unity would be necessary. Once the Roberts Group took action against Sebastian, they would become opponents.

In the pet store.

I bought a one-month-old little Golden Retriever puppy, which was as small as my palm. The shop assistant gave me some dog food and dog toys. It looked tiny, and I had no clue how to care for it. Fortunately, the shop assistant had prepared a list of instructions for me to follow. If things didn't work out, I could come back to the pet store again to ask.

It was already a little late by the time we were done. I gave the address to the shop assistant and asked her to send the puppy to the Reid family home. Hendrix and I were going to the hospital to visit Anne. She was done with her medical check-up and could return home tonight. Valerie had been busy with the company's affairs recently, and had little time to spare at the moment, so she arranged for a nanny to care for Anne.

Anne had to go back to the Moore family home tonight, so Hendrix needed to pick her up.

In the hospital.

After a long day of walking, my legs were really sore, so I waited downstairs in the lobby while Hendrix headed up to get Anne.

I didn't expect to see Chloe again. It seemed that she was seriously ill. She stumbled through the entrance and collapsed to the ground as soon as she stepped foot in the hospital. Fortunately, several nurses caught sight of her and brought her into the emergency room.

Out of curiosity, I followed them.

Standing at the door of the emergency room, I asked the nurse who came out, "Hello, I want to ask, how is she? What's wrong with her? Why does it look so serious?"

In the car, Anne held onto me tightly. She had gotten much thinner due to the chemotherapy treatment. I could feel the bones underneath her skin as I held her. "Mom, are you going on a business trip? Can you take me with you this time? I want to be with you. I don't want to stay here alone. You've been very busy these days and don't even have time to visit me. Don't you miss me?"

It was child's talk. I caressed her bald head and replied gently. "Anne, of course I miss you! It's just that I am still busy with some urgent matters. Once I'm done with everything, we will stay with you in Jarold City, is that okay?"

Her little face pouted miserably in response. However, she could only nod her head in agreement. When we arrived at the Moore villa, the nanny took Anne in while Hendrix and I made our way to the Reid family home.

In the car, I looked at Hendrix and asked hesitantly, "Hendrix, will Josiah be released from prison early?"

Hendrix was startled that I would mention him out of the blue. He looked at me and asked, "Why do you mention him all of a sudden? What's wrong?"
