Chapter 549


    Hendrix returned veryte that night. After Ian took Anne away, Iid down for a long time but didn''t


    manage to fall asleep.


    When he came back, it was already dawn. Seeing that I had not yet slept, he frowned and asked, "Not


    sleeping yet?"


    "I''m about to," I responded.


    He murmured his assent and then told me, "Turn the lights off and sleep soon!" He walked to my side


    before he gently kissed me on my forehead.


    Then, he whispered, "I need to leave for a trip. I might need to go to Mesville, and would only be back


    tomorrow afternoon. Get some sleep and when Minniees, let her know what you''d like to eat.


    Rest, okay? Don''t stay up, or else I''m dragging you to the hospital as soon as I''m back."


    "What''s wrong?" I asked. "It''s already sote, so why do you still have to go to Mesville?"


    He stroked my hair and exined, "I''ve got something small to deal with, I''ll only be there for a while."


    I knitted my brows. Usually, he would not inform me personally if it was regarding something that wasn''t


    serious. Instead, he would only send me a message which meant that whatever he had to handle was


    likely serious, since he even came home to personally tell me about it.


    I pulled at his sleeve before I questioned him, "What''s going on?"


    Heughed and kissed me on the forehead. "You really can''t bear to leave me, can you? Are you going


    to give me a farewell gift?"


    I was speechless.


    "Hendrix, you''re such a pervert!"


    He smiled, "I''m your husband, not a pervert. This is called flirting. Take care of yourself because I''m


    expecting you to make it up to me when Ie back."


    This man was truly remarkable...the way he could be this calm even as he talked about these things.


    Seeing my face blushing up, he did not say anything more and pointed out, "Austin is waiting for me


    downstairs. So, have a good rest and wait for me toe back!"


    After that, he grabbed for his coat and a few other personal belongings. I initially wanted to follow him


    out of the room to send him off.


    However, he held me down in bed and nagged, "Be good and rest!"


    Not long after he went downstairs, I heard the sound of the engine starting before the car pulled away.


    Iid in bed and did more tossing and turning. As expected, I couldn''t fall asleep, especially without


    Hendrix around.


    It stayed that way until dawn, and I was groggy when I woke up. After walking a few steps, I felt very


    dizzy.


    Minnie was cleaning in the kitchen. When she saw me stumbling about, she instantly stepped forward


    to help support me.


    "Arianna, didn''t you sleep wellst night? Why do you have suchrge dark circles under your eyes?"


    Minnie asked.


    I pinched the bridge of my nose, and my shoulders and waist were all sore. Then, I sat down on the


    chair and looked at Minnie before I said. "Minnie, please get me a ss of water."


    She nodded and handed me a ss of water. After watching me take a few mouthfuls, she advised me,


    "I''ll cook some porridge for youter. After that, you can go back to your bedroom and have a good


    rest. If that doesn''t help, I''ll apany you to the hospital."


    My shoulders were sore and I probably felt unwell due to ack of sufficient rest, so I nodded in


    agreement.


    Then, I took out my phone and called Kelsey. After a few moments, the call went through.

    "Good morning, I will be there in about an hour. I might be a few minuteste because something''s


    I had made an appointment with her the day before, but that had to be dyed due to my health.


    Staring at the phone, I took a breath and replied, "I may not be able to go today either, so you might


    need toe to Flora Hill instead."


    She paused for a moment before replying, "Okay!"


    "Before youe here, please go to the hospital and get some sleeping pills for me."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "My insomnia''s been acting up," I replied. It wasn''t a good idea for me to keep going on like this.


    She paused again before she muttered, "I''ll be there in 30 minutes."


    After a pause, I nced at Minnie and added, "By the way, a friend will be overter. Please have


    some fruits and pastries prepared at noon."


    She nodded and ushered me to eat breakfast.


    If I didn''t sleep well, I wouldn''t be able to stomach much of anything. After taking a few bites, I


    I pinched the bridge of my nose and responded, "Hendrix is looking for a secretary to work at the


    headquarters in Jarold City. Would you be interested?"
