My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1739

My tone was a little harsh, but it was not directed at them. I was angry with myself.

"I have made up my mind. Since the relationship between Dawnie Firm and the Drake family is so special, I have to stay at the Dawnie Firm no matter what." I paused and said more seriously.

Dawnie Firm wanted me to sabotage me? Let's see if they had what it would take. Nevertheless, I was sure I could find something to turn the tables.

"I won't stop you from wanting to share our burdens, but you don't have to walk into the lion's den yourself," Aaron said.

"Aaron is right. Since they know your identity, they must be on guard. What's more, you are also not happy working there. I think it's better to follow Aaron's suggestion to change your internship. In time, maybe other firms can help us too." Charles chimed in.

I opened my mouth and was about to argue when I suddenly felt itchiness in my throat and began to cough violently.

At first, it was just a light cough, but then it couldn't be controlled. Aaron felt something wrong and came up to me as something rushed to my throat, and I spat a mouthful of blood on the floor in front of him.

"Arianna!"

"You b*stard! Didn't you say it's not deadly? Why did you lie! I'll kill you now!"

"Calm down, Aaron! This is our home! Saying you'll kill someone, do you want Uncle Charles to be dragged down with you?"

When my consciousness was restored, I heard Aaron and Emma fighting. I slowly opened my eyes. Hendrix's angular face was close at hand and his black eyes were full of love and pity.

"What happened to me?" I asked.

"Arianna?" Hearing the sound, Aaron pushed aside the grey-haired doctor and jumped to my bedside. His eyes were red. "You are awake. It's good that you are awake. Thank God."

"Why are you all so noisy..." I regained some strength and asked Hendrix to help me sit up.

"We had agreed that in the future, there would be no secrets. Tell me the truth. I don't want to know from the others."

Hendrix paused and continued to cut the fruit with his blade. Then he raised his head and handed over the apple to me, saying, "When we were in Mesville, the medical staff did not want to incur Aaron's wrath, so they lied and pretended that the medicine would cure you. They were stalling time to escape. In fact, all it'll do is suppress the disease in your body, not get rid of it."

The apple in my hand suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, leaving me at a loss.

Although I wasn't quite clear- headed before opening my eyes, I'd heard the word "deadly" when Aaron was speaking.

Even if I was ready to die, my heart still felt cold at the moment.

Seeing that I was in a bad state, Hendrix patted me and put my hand on his heart.
