My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 1941

As I opened the door, Irvin woke up.

"Did I wake you?" I sounded very apologetic.

"No," Irvin shook his head feebly. Even though he had been resting her for about thirty minutes, his face looked much paler.

I stammered, "It's..."

He spoke calmly, but his words made my heart sink.

I nodded, "I know. I will return as soon as I can."

After that, I poured out a glass of water and placed it close to him and said, "Madeline will be here soon. You can sleep for now."

"Okay."

I didn't leave until Madeline arrived.
