Chapter 401


    After thinking for a while, I said, "Are the hospitals under Doctor Saunders in trouble?"


    He nodded. "He was the one who handled the patients'' illnesses."


    "Then, could it be..." I paused for a second, thinking about how my sentence sounded a little too


    suspicion- raising and quickly changed what I wanted to say, "How many years have you known Doctor


    Saunders for?"


    He smiled. "We''ve known each other since college. Why did you ask? Suddenly interested in my past?"


    I gave him a smile and continued asking, "So, how did you guys get so close to the point of trusting


    each other?"


    A bond formed between people who had gone through hardships together would always be one that is


    strong and unforgettable.


    I looked at his sharp jaw, and thought about how good-looking he was from this angle.


    He frowned and said after a pause, "I''ll tell you about theseter on. Are you sleepy yet?"


    It seemed like he was trying to avoid the subject, so I let it go. I merely hummed in response.


    He did not say anything further.


    His phone rang several times, but he ignored them. I cast a sideways nce and saw Andrea on the


    caller ID.


    I couldn''t help but frown. "How annoying!"


    He frowned and switched the phone to silent mode, but I could still see it. The phone was just lying by


    his side. Even if it was silent, the phone screen would always light up every time she called.


    Calls after calls came, greatly irritating me. "Can''t you just answer it? It''s getting very annoying."


    He frowned, and his perfect eyebrows bunched together grimly. "Do you want me to take the call?"


    "Hendrix, don''t talk nonsense. If you want to answer the phone, then do it. If you don''t want to, just


    reject the call and then go out to look for her; as long as you don''t annoy me." Andrea was the only


    person who could be looking for someone''s husband in the middle of the night.


    Hendrix was taken aback by what I said. After a pause, he said coldly, "What do you mean by asking


    me to go out to look for her? Arianna, are you being serious right now?"


    "Yes, I am. Please turn off your phone or just go out. I won''t be sending you off."

    He picked up his cell phone, turned on the hands- free setting, and said to the phone coldly, "What''s


    the matter?"


    "Hendrix, I''m in the hospital now and I''m all alone. Can youe and keep mepany? I''m scared."


    Her voice was so soft that it could make anyone who heard it weak in the knees.


    Hendrix replied coldly, "Am I your parent? Not everything must be done ording to your whims. Your


    brother asked me to take care of you, but he didn''t say that he wanted me to sacrifice myself for you."


    After a pause, he added, "Please don''t call me in the middle of the night again. My wife is a light


    sleeper and is short tempered. If I wake her, it would be hard for me to coax her back to sleep."


    After that, he hung up the phone and turned it off.


    He looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "Happy?"


    I rolled my eyes at him. "What''s wrong with you?"


    I then settled into bed. Hendrix followed and kissed me a few times.


    It was gettingte. I closed my eyes and was ready to sleep, but I suddenly noticed something amiss.


    I pushed against Hendrix who was hugging me tightly and yelled, "Hendrix, what are you doing?"
