Chapter 217


    After settling the matter with Edward, Xavier went to the hospital.


    Bridget was in aa after being injected with a sedative.


    Daisy stayed by her, feeling ill at ease. Seeing Xaviere in, she asked, "What did the doctor say?"


    Xavier walked to the window and looked back at Bridget, "Something''s wrong with her mind."


    Xavier didn''t say it in detail to less worry her.


    Xavier leaned against the window, lit a cigarette, and said after a while, "I''ve initiated divorce


    proceedings for her."


    Daisy was stunned, "Divorce?"


    Hearing his words, Daisy couldn''te back to her senses for a moment.


    "Are you in such a hurry? I think Bridget..."


    "Are you sure?" Xavier sneered. "Isn''t it enough now? Do you want her to go crazy?"


    Daisy rubbed her forehead in distress.


    It was not long after they got married and Bridget had a miscarriage. Daisy was afraid that she would


    not be able to ept it.


    "Can you slow down?" Daisy knew that staying with Jasper was not a good choice.


    But Bridget wouldn''t be able to ept it.


    Xavier took a pull on his cigarette. "I''ve settled it. Edward will take her abroad for treatment."


    Daisy nodded, "Okay."


    She couldn''t think of a good solution. Maybe it was better for a change to her.


    But she was frustrated at the thought that Bridget went through miscarriage and divorce soon after they

    got married.


    "Maybe it''s better for her to get some fresh air." Daisy nced at Bridget, who had lost a lot of weight in


    the past few days.


    "She''s your sister..." Daisy was worried that Xavier and Bridget grew apart because of this.


    She sided with Bridget.


    Xavier remained in silence, smoking.


    It took him a long time to say, "I hope you can treat her better."


    "I know."


    Daisy knew that Bridget was way irrational.


    So she was willing to try to ept it, or even treat her better.


    After learning the lesson from the example of Bridget, she wanted Arya to be happy, despite that Arya


    was not her first choice daughter-inw. But as it was done, she could only ept it.


    Arya took Ryan back to Aqua Vige.


    She brought a lot of things, some for Madam Swift and some for Joshua.


    Madam Swift and Joshua were overjoyed, "Thanks, why are you bringing this stuff?"


    Arya smiled. "It''s no big deal. Many things are not avable here."


    So she went to the mall on her way here.


    "Stay here as long as you want."


    Madam Swift held Arya''s hand. She had few families particrly after the death of Mr. Swift.


    Arya said, "I''m afraid I''ll disturb you."


    "Then I wish you would stay here and disturb me," Madam Swift said with a smile.


    Life passed quickly. A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Arya gradually calmed down.


    In the morning, Ryan insisted on taking the boat. Joshua took the boat out to sea, not far away. Ryan


    stood on the splinter and looked down at the sshing water. He shouted excitedly, "Mommy, we''re


    going out to sea."


    Madam Swift sat on a small stool on the splint, where Mr. Swift used to sit. A sullen look shaded her


    face as if she thought of Mr. Swift again. Arya walked up to her and squatted down. "We''re there with


    you."


    Madam Swift wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled. "You''re right."


    She thought it might be fate.


    Ryan ran over here. Madam Swift reminded, afraid that he would fall, "Slow down."


    He didn''t seem to hear it and threw himself into Madam Swift''s arms. "Have you ever seen a pirate?"


    he asked.


    Madam Swift stroked Ryan''s little face and said, "There won''t be pirates here."


    "Then why is there a pirate ship?"


    Ryan was confused.


    Arya carried Ryan over. "You''re too young to understand it."


    Ryan pouted, "Never mind. I''ll go y with Joshua."


    Arya was amused, seeing that Ryan had worn Joshua down.


    Joshua was patient with him.


    After a while, Joshua docked the boat and Arya carried Ryan out of the boat.


    Arya cooked dinner. Ryan wanted steamed yellow croaker. He kept it in mind when Madam Swift


    cooked it for himst time.


    When Arya washed the fish, the fishy smell made her feel a great rush of sickness. Arya put down the


    fish and ran out to vomit, but she had difficulty throwing it up.


    Madam Swift handed her a ss of water. "Are you okay?"


    Arya shook her head, "I just want to throw up."


    Madam Swift, who had gone through a lot, realized something and asked, "Is your periodte?"


    "What?" Arya did not react for a moment.


    She didn''t think about that, because she never threw up when she was pregnant with Ryan.


    "You might be pregnant..."


    Madam Swift wasn''t sure, thinking that the doctor said it was difficult for her to get pregnant.


    Arya realized her period was indeedte after thinking for a while.


    Inexplicably, she became mncholy.


    Given her current rtionship with Xavier, she didn''t think getting pregnant would do better.


    "Let''s go to the hospital tomorrow." Madam Swift smiled and took the ss from her hand. "I''ll cook.


    Have a good rest."


    Arya sat down on the stool.


    She looked away absent-mindedly.


    A cell phone rang,pletely bringing her thoughts back. She took out her phone and saw Xavier''s


    name on it.


    Xavier called her every day since she came here for a week. He wanted to hear her voice.


    Arya''s eyes fell on the number, and she was at a loss what to say to him. After a while, she pressed the


    answer button.


    Soon his voice came, "Why does it take you so long to answer the phone?"


    Arya said, pursing her lips, "Well, my phone wasn''t around just now."


    "I''ll pick you up tomorrow."


    Xavier stood in front of the french window of the office. The red sunset lengthened his shadow...


    He didn''t inquire after her well-being like he usually did.


    Arya didn''t ask him if he had settled the matter. She didn''t mention anything about Bridget, thinking that


    he wouldn''t have said that if he hadn''t.


    She answered an okay in a t tone.


    ...


    Both of them were silent, and neither of them hung up the phone. It was so quiet that they could hear


    each other breathing.


    "Xavier," Arya called.


    "Well, what''s wrong?"


    Arya decided not to tell him about her pregnancy as she wasn''t sure yet. "Well, it''s nothing. Let''s talk


    about it when youe."


    "Well, I mighte in the afternoon." He had to drive Bridget and Edward to the airport in the morning


    before he could pick her up at Aqua Vige.


    "I''ll wait for you."


    Madam Swift''s voice of calling her for dinner came to Xavier''s ear. He then hung up the phone


    reluctantly after telling her to eat well.


    Madam Swift made her a light porridge lest that she should have the urge of throwing up.


    A wave of warmness surged over Arya as she looked at the porridge that Madam Swift had specially


    prepared for her on the table. She wasn''t even fed well when she was pregnant with Ryan.


    Inexplicably, she felt the urge of crying.


    "Mommy, why aren''t you eating?"


    Ryan looked up at Arya.
