Chapter 270


    Only two days passed, yet Arya felt like a century.


    On Wednesday, Ryan would undergo the surgery. He could finally be free of the illness that he was


    born with.


    Except for Xavier, everyone was waiting outside the operating room. In addition to the attending doctor


    who had been treating Ryan, they also invited the best professor in the country to assist him in this


    surgery. The surgery was done by the doctor who treated Ryan. He had been treating Ryan for a long


    time and knew the condition of Ryan better than anyone.


    Henry pushed off a meeting and stayed here. He seemed calm, but he was quite worried.


    Ryan was his only grandson, and he cared a lot about him.


    So at this time, he personally stayed here to wait for his surgery to be done.


    Daisy wasn''t as calm and experienced as Henry. And now she showed her worry. She rubbed her

    hands anxiously because of her worry. Henry held her hands tofort her.


    "I hope it will go well."


    "It will." Henry patted her hand.


    Arya stood at the back, but she was the most worried.


    Jacob stood beside her, trying tofort her so that she wouldn''t worry too much, but he didn''t know


    what to say.


    Seeing that he wanted to say something, Arya thought it was about Xavier and said, "Come out with


    me."


    Jacob nodded and quietly followed her out of the corridor.


    When they reached a quiet ce, Arya asked, "How is he?"


    "I called Edward yesterday. He said he was the same as before." Jacob lowered his head slightly, not


    daring to look straight into Arya''s eyes.


    This was not good news for anyone.


    Aryapressed her lips tightly.


    She was more worried than before.


    She thought about it, "If the surgery goes well, you should prepare."


    Jacob understood what she meant. And he knew that he would not be able to stop her, even if he tried


    to.


    "Okay, I''ll arrange it as soon as the surgery is over."


    Arya nodded and went back to the corridor to wait.


    The surgerysted more than three hours.


    Fortunately, the surgery was sessful, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Daisy went to see


    Bridget after seeing Ryan. She hadn''t woken up yet.


    Henry stayed with Ryan. Ryan was still a little kid. The surgery he underwent made Henry feel even


    more sorry for the child.


    He was just a little boy.


    He looked more and more like Xavier.


    When Xavier was little, he was in the army all year round and wasn''t there for Xavier during his


    childhood. After Ryan entered the surgery room, he thought a lot about the past.


    On the other side of the bed was Arya, she was very relieved that Ryan had finally been cured of his


    illness.


    Arya didn''t look well because she had something on her mind.


    Henry was not a ruthless person, he just didn''t like Arya''s past very much. Now that she looked so


    pale, he felt pity for her.


    "Take good care of Ryan. The doctor said he still needs to be observed."


    "I will."


    Henry stood up. "Don''t contact the Gates Family again."


    Not only because of the grudge with the Gates Family but also because of something about Rufus that


    he knew, he didn''t want Arya to get close to him.


    "Yes, I understand."


    Harriet stood outside the door and heard the conversation between Henry and Arya.


    ''He doesn''t like the Gates Family?''


    She looked through the ss on the door and looked at Arya. Her expression was getting colder.


    When Henry came out, she stepped back from the door just in time and pretended to have just walked


    over, "Is Ryan okay?"


    "He still needs to be observed. You should go back and rest. You''ve been here all day." Henry was in a


    much better mood after the surgery was sessful.


    "Aren''t you going back?" Harriet asked with concern.


    "I''ll go to see Bridget. You should go back now." Henry waved his hand and walked towards Bridget''s


    ward.


    Harriet watched Henry enter Bridget''s ward. Looking at the closed door, she smiled coldly. She took out


    her cell phone and dialed Rufus''s number.


    "It''s me."


    Rufus was intrigued, "What do you want?"


    He was surprised that she had suddenly contacted him after she disappeared for so long.


    "What, are you having trouble living on your own?"


    Until now, he still remembered how Harriet ran out in anger when she saw him with another woman.


    And now she called him. The Harrison Family was bankrupt. She must havee back to him


    because she couldn''t live on her own anymore.


    "Don''t worry about me, I''m doing well. I didn''t call you to ask for money."


    "Then why did you call me? Do you need a lover then?"


    "You..." Harriet did not forget how he broke up with her right after he had sex with her.


    "Do you know Arya?" Harriet was not sure if Rufus had anything to do with Arya.


    He should have had something to do with Arya ording to the conversation between Henry and Arya.


    Or he wouldn''t have told Arya to stay away from the Gates Family.


    Hearing Harriet mentioned Arya''s name, Rufus sat straight. "I''m all ears."


    "First People''s Hospital, the 16th floor of the pediatric inpatient department, VIP ward 608."


    "Is she sick?"


    "You''ll know when youe."


    Rufus hung up the phone. The First People''s Hospital was a public hospital in W City. On the 16th floor,


    only the family members of the political elite could stay there. Rufus narrowed his eyes and kept


    thinking about who would be hospitalized.


    He knew that Xavier went abroad. After thinking for a while, he still couldn''t figure out who it was. He


    put on his coat and went to the hospital.


    When he arrived, Harriet was standing at the entrance of the parking lot.


    Rufus parked the car and got out of the car. He walked towards Harriet. "Tell me, why do you want me


    here?"


    Harriet raised her eyebrows slightly. "I overheard Henry telling Arya to stay away from the Gates


    Family. So I think you might know Arya."


    "So?" Rufus became more and more intrigued. "Don''t you have nothing to do with the Jones Family


    now? How do you know so much about them?"


    "You don''t have to know that. Just tell me if you have any thoughts about Arya." Harriet asked directly.


    In fact, she knew that Rufus was willing to have sex with her back then just because she was once


    Xavier''s woman.


    Now that Arya was Xavier''s woman, he must be interested in her as well.


    This had nothing to do with affection. It was that he had always wanted topete with Xavier on


    everything.


    Harriet guessed right about Rufus. Knowing that Arya was the woman Xavier cared about, he wanted


    to get close to her on purpose.


    "I can help you." Harriet raised her head.


    Rufus approached her, "What can you do?"


    Harriet took a step back out of fear for him. She was still a little afraid of Rufus. He could be nice when


    he wanted to, but he also could be ruthless and scary.


    Harriet clenched her handbag tightly. "I, I''m in the Jones'' now. If you want Arya, I can help you get her.


    How about that?"
