Chapter 148


    He disappeared after the fight with Hendrix. I thought I could live in peace for a while, but reality said


    otherwise.


    "If there''s nothing important, I''ll hang up!" I replied. My head was throbbing in pain. Hendrix was


    already difficult to deal with, and Aaron just had to show up right then.


    I could hear him chuckling over the phone before he said, "Don''t you miss your dear brother?"


    "What''s wrong with you!" I hung up. That phone call just worsened my headache.


    I leaned on the steering wheel to get some rest, and then I heard a knock on my car window. I looked


    up and saw that Evan was standing by the car, looking concerned.


    I rolled down the window, and he said to me respectfully, "Miss Reid, Mr. Roberts sent me over to pick


    you up."


    I just couldn''t seem to get away from him.


    "I already told him I''m not going!" I said harshly as there were just too many things on my te.


    Nheless, Evan repeated with his usual poker face, "Mr. Roberts sent me to pick you up."


    I said angrily, "I know, I know. I''ll get there myselfter, okay?"


    "I''ll send you there!" he insisted.


    What the actual f*ck!


    I mmed the steering wheel out of frustration as I couldn''t stand it anymore. I looked at Evan who was


    standing by the car, and yelled at him, "Get out of my way!"


    He moved away, then stood aside and waited for me to get out of the car.


    I swore I was almost driven crazy by Hendrix. After I got out of my car, Evan still said coldly, "Miss Reid,


    pleasee with me."


    I got on the ck Bentley, still angry and unhappy, but I knew I shouldn''t vent my anger on Evan.


    Once we arrived at the hospital, I went straight to Hendrix''s ward after getting out of the car.


    Josiah, Austin, and Andrea were all there when I arrived.


    They were all staring at me in surprise. They probably didn''t expect me to show up.


    I nced at Hendrix and then back at them, saying, "Please leave if you don''t have anything to do."


    No matter how mad I was, I knew I shouldn''t leash it all out on Hendrix when outsiders were present.


    Josiah was always good at reading the mood, so, per my request, he left the ward in surprise.


    Andrea, on the other hand, looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and said, "Arianna, don''t you know


    you should knock beforeing in? Where''s your manner?"


    "Miss Burton, what are you guys up to with the door open?" I shot back. Why should I knock on the


    door when it wasn''t even close?


    Andrea''s face turned red, and she retorted, "Arianna, you''re so shameless."

    I was irritated by so many things happening at the same time in my life. So, for once, I didn''t want to


    show her even a bit mercy. "Oh, and you think that you''re not? Why are you so obsessed with Hendrix


    anyway? Is it because he''s already mine? Do you have a thing for second-hand lovers?"


    "Arianna, you-" she tried to refute.


    I sneered and cut her off, "What else could it be? Mr. Shelley and Doctor Saunders are both decent


    guys. Oh, I forgot that such a gentleman like Doctor Saunders will never be interested in you. But then,


    Mr. Shelley has always been fond of you, why did you never consider him? Is it because you prefer to


    have him wrapped around your finger? What do you think he is? Your pet?"


    Austin''s face fell, and he said coldly, "Arianna, watch your tongue!"


    Iughed out loud, "Mr. Shelley, I''m merely saying the obvious!"


    "That''s enough!" Hendrix said. He looked at Andrea and Austin and suggested, "You guys should


    leave."


    Both of them weren''t pleased with the situation. But they didn''t say much and left after hesitating for a


    while.


    Only Hendrix and I were left in the ward.


    Our eyes met. He seemed unconcerned by the scene I caused earlier, and I couldn''t tell if he was mad


    or not.


    When he noticed my expression, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Still frustrated, I replied, "Didn''t you ask me toe over for dinner?"


    "What do you want to eat?" he asked.


    "Hendrix, just how bored can you get? You told me toe here only to ask what I want to eat?" I


    snapped, "If you are lonely, get your oh- so- lovely Miss Burton to keep youpany. Stop troubling


    other people, could you?"
