Chapter 413
"Okay!" After that, Hendrix hung up the phone.
I pulled theforter over me and couldn''t see what Hendrix was doing. After a while, he turned off the
lights andid in bed.
He pulled theforter wrapped around me and said, "Arianna, it''s winter now. Winter in Jarold City is
iparable to Ucrebury. If you really don''t share it, you would have to call for an ambnce for me
tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he stopped tugging andy down beside me quietly.
Listening to the shallow breathing sounds, thinking that he should be asleep, I couldn''t help but to
stretch out my head from under theforter. Under the dim light, I saw that most of his body was
exposed.
Usually, he would wear pajamas, and it was obvious that he was deliberately exposed today.
After a long time, the skin on my body was a little cold. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, I couldn''t

help but to ce theforter over his body.
Suddenly, my hand was grabbed, and he took the opportunity to get into bed. He held me in his arms.
The cold air engulfed my body.
"So, you''re still worried that I might get frostbite, aren''t you?"
I was so angry that I only wanted to kick him with my foot, but his speed was fast enough to hold me
down. "Your foot is still injured. Don''t move too much."
"Hendrix, you b*stard!" I couldn''t help but to curse. I pursed my lips and looked at him as if I had been
wronged.
He pulled me into his arms and whispered, "Austin didn''t mean it. I am sorry for not handling it well. I
should have announced it properly. But I''ve just had some roots in Jarold City. There are a lot of things
in mypany and there are a lot of people who want a slice of the pie in Jarold City. If someone
wants to take advantage of me, I''m afraid that I won''t be able to protect you."
He sighed slightly and held me tightly in his arms.
I pursed my lips and couldn''t say anything for a moment. I knew that he had too many difficulties, so I
never forced him.
This sleep was extremely good. When I woke up the next day, the sun was shining after a few days of
downpour in Jarold City.
Hendrix was not in the bedroom. I moved a little, and I could feel some pain in my ankles. I got up and
went to wash up.
Minnie brought the breakfast upstairs, followed by two people, Hendrix and Josiah.
Seeing that I was awake, Minnie ced the breakfast on the bedside table and said, "It''s a nice day. It
seems like it''s going to snow in a few days. Arianna, freshen up. I''ll apany you downstairs to look
at the newly bloomed plum blossoms in the courtyard after breakfast. It has been blossoming since
yesterday. It''s beautiful."
I was stunned. Ucrebury didn''t have plum blossoms and it was rare to snow too. Listening to her words,
it would snow in a few days. I started smiling, "Well, okay!"
Minnie went downstairs. Hendrix instructed Josiah to check on my sprained ankle.
"It''s a ligament sprain. Take some medication and you''ll be alright after a few days of rest," Josiah said
as he took off the stic gloves and threw them into the trash can.
Hendrix nodded and looked at me. "Have breakfast and rest for a while. I''ll go into the study room with
Josiah to talk about something. Give me a call if you need me, okay?"
I nodded and seemed to be a little more obedient.
He and Josiah walked out of the bedroom. I had just woken up and hadn''t washed up yet. I couldn''t
help but to move my body and get off the bed to wash up.
After all, it goes by the saying that rest is needed for the bone and tendons to heal. As soon as my feet
touched the ground, I felt a sharp pain that made me take a cold breath. Fortunately, I adapted after a
few steps.
After a quick wash, I went back to the bedside. I couldn''t help but to gasp. I overestimated myself too
much. Seems like it would be impossible to go to the office today.
