My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 243

"Arianna, is that you?" Aaron asked from within the ward. He must have heard us.

Upon hearing his voice, the care worker left without saying anything more.

I entered the wardroom and saw Aaron leaning on the bed frame with a cell phone in his hand. When he saw me, the dismay on his face dissipated, and he broke into a smile, "Did you bring the pasta?"

I nodded and gave him the container. I watched him open it while I said, "Don't be too harsh on the care worker. I'm going to Jarold City with Hendrix tonight, and we're going to stay there for a while. You should find someone else to take care of you."

Aaron's face fell. "What are you going to Jarold City with Hendrix for?"

I didn't explain much to him. He had been admitted to the hospital just to get me to worry about him. He wasn't even seriously injured! I looked at him and said, "Well, there's something."

After that, I turned around to leave. Seeing that, Aaron raised his voice with a hint of iciness in his voice, "You better leave Hendrix

as soon as possible."

I frowned and left right away, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Monique had already finished the pasta when I went back to her room. Since she had finished the IV drip, she got out of the bed and was peeling off the mangoes that I had also brought, sitting at the chair.

Seeing that I had returned, Monique grinned from ear to ear and asked, "Babe, where did you get the mangoes? They tasted exactly like those we had in Hovell."

I took a seat next to her, and I noticed she already had several mangoes before I came in. I got slightly worried at that, and I asked, "Won't you feel uncomfortable when you had so much at a time?"

She shook her head. "I can even finish all these mangoes that you've brought!"

I was rendered speechless. Aaron had brought a lot of the green mangoes to me, and I gave almost all of them to Monique.

Most importantly, she had just finished the pasta, and she continued to eat the mangoes. I was worried that the baby wouldn't take it well if she had overeaten.

"D*mn, you're hungry like a wolf!" Ian exclaimed when he saw Monique wolfing down her food as he came into the wardroom.

When I saw Sawyer following behind him, I was surprised. "Mr. Clark, you've been with Ian a lot recently."

"So that I can go with you!" he simply said. Noticing that Monique had rolled her eyes at him - obviously didn't buy his lie - Ian rubbed his nose and continued, "If I knew you were going to Jarold City, I could have gone back to Mesville to run my errands."

"Sorry. Too many things have happened during these past few days, so I've forgotten about this," I said apologetically to Ian. Then, I turned to look at Sawyer and asked, "When are you going to Jarold City?"

"Tomorrow," answered Sawyer. Then, he quirked his eyebrows, "Maybe we'll meet again in a few days."

Listening to our plans to go out of town, Monique felt gloomy, "All of you are leaving Ucrebury. What am I going to do here? Argh! I'm going back to the countryside tomorrow!"

While Monique was expressing her frustration, Ian found a seat and sat down. He looked at me and said, "Is Hendrix taking you

to Jarold City to see a doctor?"

I nodded, "It's one of the reasons."

Then, we chatted for a bit longer until Hendrix came over and suggested we have a meal together.
