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.

After I hesitated for a moment, I said, "Irvin, I need to head out to settle something."

Irvin's sleepy eyes suddenly lit up as he raised his voice, "Who are you seeing?"

I stammered, "It's..."

He didn't give me a chance to finish my sentence and said, "Go if you want. But be careful, someone may have planned that car accident."

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.
