Chapter 1385


    Pedro cracked a smile and said, "He''s not a bodyguard. You have many bodyguards by your side. I


    reckon that''s more than enough. You''ll attract a lot of attention if there are way too many


    bodyguards around. Mr. Lawson is not my subordinate. He used to work in Oand. But as he


    aged, he did not get married and instead, he bought some real estate in Oand and settled down


    there."


    I was stunned. I was surprised to find out that Sheridan had not married yet. At his age, I assumed


    that he would have settled down.


    Valerie was back. Ofte, she had been busy tending to Anne. I felt bad looking at her haggard


    face. As she handed over the medicine to me, I helped her to take a seat. I hesitated for a moment


    before I said, "Mom, Dad, I''ll need your help looking after Anne in the next few days. I''m nning to


    head over to Asherton. I have some matters to attend to."


    Pedro was taken aback. "Have you made up your mind?"


    I nodded and said smilingly, "I have."


    Valerie looked at Pedro and me. She was perceptive enough to know what I was up to. She frowned


    and asked, "Is this because of Anne?" She had always warned us against making any hasty


    decisions concerning Anne, which could be detrimental to our interests in the long run. Immediately,


    she objected, "I won''t allow it. Arianna, I get that you want to save Anne. But you have to calm down


    and think things through. You have parents and a family. Your decision can impact many people.


    What am I supposed to do if anything happens to you?"


    I could not let her in on the details. So I reassured her, "No worries, Mom. I''m merely heading over


    to find out more about organ trading. I''ll discuss this with you once I''m back from Asherton. This is


    no small matter. I won''t make any hasty decisions."


    She pursed her lips. After a moment of silence, she said, "Alright then, go ahead. No matter what


    happens, be sure to keep us in the loop. Don''t rush into making any decisions without prior


    discussion with us."


    I nodded. "Yeah, I know," I said. "Don''t worry. I know what I''m doing."


    Hendrix was back after ending his phone conversation. When he saw them looking at me worriedly,


    he could not help but ask, "What happened?"

    Valerie went ahead and said, "Mr. Roberts, you''re apanying Arianna to Asherton, aren''t you?


    She''s pregnant. I would be worried if she was out there alone. I know you have been busy, but you


    can''t afford to neglect her. After all, she''s pregnant with your baby. No matter what, she'' s your


    priority."


    Hendrix was not aware that I wanted to go to Asherton. When he heard Valerie''s words, he directed


    his gaze at me and frowned slightly. Fortunately, he did not ask further. Instead, he nodded and


    answered, "Okay, sure."


    It was gettingte into the night. Valerie was concerned that sleepingte would be bad for my


    health, so she said, "Alright, it''s gettingte. You''d better be making a move. Be sure to keep us


    informed when you decide on a date to head over to Asherton. Your dad will get someone to look


    after you."


    I had wanted to say that I could go to Asherton by myself, but I held back lest they keep nagging.


    Instead, I nodded. Then, I left the hospital alongside Hendrix.


    When I got in the car, I did not talk to Hendrix. Instead, I chatted with Wendy over the phone.
