Chapter 1739


    My tone was a little harsh, but it was not directed at them. I was angry with myself.


    "I have made up my mind. Since the rtionship between Dawnie Firm and the Drake family is so special, I have to stay at the Dawnie Firm no


    matter what." I paused and said more seriously.


    Dawnie Firm wanted me to sabotage me? Let''s see if they had what it would take. Nevertheless, I was sure I could find something to turn the tables.


    "I won''t stop you from wanting to share our burdens, but you don''t have to walk into the lion''s den yourself," Aaron said.


    "Aaron is right. Since they know your identity, they must be on guard. What''s mare, you are also not happy working there. I think it''s better to follow


    Aaron''s suggestion to change your internship. In time, maybe other firms can help us too.” Charles chimed in.


    I opened my mouth and was about to argue when I suddenly felt itchiness in my throat and began to cough viclently.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    At first, it was just a light cough, but then it couldn''t be controlled. Aaron felt something wrong and came up to me as something rushed to my throat,


    and I spat a mouthful of blood on the floor in front of him.


    "Arianna!"


    "You b*stard! Didn''t you say it''s not deadly? Why did you lie! Il kill you now!"


    "Calm down, Aaron! This is our home! Saying you''ll kill someone, do you want Uncle Charles to be dragged down with you?"


    When my consciousness was restored, I heard Aaron and Emma fighting. I slowly opened my eyes. Hendrix''s angr face was close at hand and his


    ck eyes were full of love and pity.


    "What happened to me?" I asked.


    "Arianna?" Hearing the sound, Aaron pushed aside the grey-haired doctor and jumped to my bedside. His eyes were red. "You are awake. It''s good


    that you are awake. Thank God."


    "Why are you all so noisy..." I regained some strength and asked Hendrix to help me sit up.


    After I calmed down, I took inventory of the situation. The doctor who had examined me in Mesville now stood in front of me.


    However, I was only met with eyes


    that were evasive and silent. They


    seemed to have made an agreement


    ong agodhat they would keep sileat


    in front of me. No matter how stupid


    was could tell that something


    was wrong, especially with Adron.


    Last time I saw that look ir his eyes


    was when he''d been separated from


    Yana.


    I said, "You can leave now. I want to be alone with Hendrix for a while.”


    The patient''s words were always the final order. Aimost immediately, Aaron cleared them out, leaving only Hendrix and I in the room.


    Hendrix poured me a cup of warm


    water and waited on me to drink.


    Then he’ sat on the chair, peeling’


    apples without saying a word.“The


    peels connected into a line and


    never broke.


    od


    He was always like this. He was giving his best, even when doing small things like this for me.


    "Hendrix," I called him.


    "Mm." Hendrix was so focused that he didn''t even raise his head.


    "We had agreed that in the future, there would be no secrets. Tell me the truth. I don''t want to know from the others.”


    Hendrix paused and continued to


    cut the fruit with his de. Then he


    raised his heard and handed over the


    apple to me saying, "When we wee"


    in Mesvilfe, the medical staff did not


    want {o incur Aaron''s wrath, sothey


    lied ahd pretended that the medicine


    wold cure you. They were stalling


    time to escape. In fact, abit''ll do is


    suppress the disease in your body,


    not get rid of it."


    The apple in my hand suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, leaving me at a loss.


    Although I wasn''t quite clear- headed before opening my eyes, I''d heard the word "deadly” when Aaron was speaking.


    Even if I was ready to die, my heart still felt cold at the moment.


    Seeing that I was in a bad state, Hendrix patted me and put my hand on his heart.
