My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix remained silent, only staring at Andrea. Evidently, he was waiting for Andrea to say that she wouldn't look into it anymore.

Andrea's focus was also on him, and her eyes were full of despair and pain. She struggled to pick up the shard from the ground before plunging them towards him.

Since I was by Hendrix's side, I immediately blocked the attack. The glass fragments were stuck into my arm, and I was in so much pain that I broke out into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, she was injured, so she couldn't cut as deep as she would've if she had her full strength. Andrea watched us for a long time before throwing away the shards in her hand. All of a sudden, she looked like all energy had left her body as she said. "You guys can go. I won't look into this anymore!"

In the treatment room, Josiah cleaned and disinfected my wounds. Hendrix had gone into the operating theatre, and my mind was a mess.

I had barely processed what had just happened and was still feeling numb all over.

Josiah said a lot of things to me, but I couldn't register any of them. Valerie and Pedro came in and looked at me, their gaze conflicted.

Valerie spoke first. "Are you all right?"

I turned to them. As I didn't know their intention, I replied indifferently, "If both of you want to sue me, then go ahead."

Valerie shook her head and peeked at me as she replied, "No, we came to check on you. Miss Reid, you..." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
