Chapter 1167


    I couldn''t hold in my emotions anymore and my tears poured down my cheeks. I sobbed and said to


    him, "Don''t sacrifice yourself for me like this in the future. If something really happened to you, what


    would I tell Shirley? You have a family, so don''t make such silly decisions anymore."


    He smiled and raised his hand to ruffle my hair. He said helplessly, "Silly girl, I act on my instincts.


    It''s an honor to be able to protect anyone I want to protect!"


    I calmed down after a while. The doctor visited not long after. Seeing that Irvin was awake, he said


    that Irvin would be fine and just needed more rest.


    I didn''t sleep much the night before, and my menstruation didn''t help the matter. Seeing Irvin was


    safe, I finally sighed in relief and soon the sleepiness started to kick in.

    Florence must have seen how tired I looked, because she said helplessly, "Miss Reid, please go


    back and have a good sleep. As for Mr. Granger, we will take good care of him. You can rest


    assured!"


    I nodded. After confirming that Irvin was fine, I


    went down the stairs and prepared to return to the vi to rest.


    At the entrance of the hospital, a ck Bentley was parked on the side of the road. The ss


    window rolled down and Evan spoke when he saw me, "Mrs. Roberts, let me send you home!"


    I was stunned. I wondered why Evan''s appearance was so timely.


    Thinking about the possibility of Hendrix being in the car, I felt slightly awkward. I didn''t get in the


    car at once. Evan seemed to realize what I was thinking, "Madam, Mr. Roberts has just left to take


    care of some business."


    Feeling a little embarrassed, I lowered my head and got into the car!


    As Evan started the car, I hesitated for a while before asking, "Have you been at the hospital all this


    while?"


    He gave me a sidelong nce and said, "It was not just me. Mr. Roberts was here too. He was here


    the whole night, looking at his phone all the while."


    I was stunned for a moment, then I pursed my lips and said, "I..."


    "Madam, you''re worried about Mr. Granger, Mr. Roberts understands, but you didn''t go back to your


    ward or the vi for the whole night. As his wife, you should at least call Mr. Roberts to let him know


    that you''re safe. If you don''t, you''d hurt his feelings!"


    Evan''s words prated my heart like a sharp knife.


    I pressed my lips together once more and looked at the scenery outside the window. I was quite


    dumbfounded.


    Evan too remained silent throughout the drive. After sending me back to the vi, Evan left to do his


    work.


    Since I hadn''t slept the whole night and was up anxious and frightened, the pain in my lower


    abdomen seemingly worsened. When I returned to the bedroom, Iy down on the bed and tried to


    sleep. But due to the pain, I couldn''t sleep well.


    The pain seemed to increase by the minute, so I had no choice but to get up. I searched around the


    room and found no painkillers. I had to order some pills online and have them delivered to the


    house.


    After taking the medicine, the pain finally subsided. I wanted to take another nap, but I didn''t feel


    sleepy anymore. I checked the time and found that it was already six in the evening. I thought that


    Hendrix would be back.


    I went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.


    ncing at the ingredients inside, I figured that I would make a few dishes to make up and


    apologize to Hendrix when he returned.


    It was September, and the day was quite cool. After I prepared all the dishes, it was already seven


    o''clock. Still, there was no sign of Hendrix.
