Chapter 271


    Rufus stared at her eyes, "Will you help me?"


    Harriet nodded hard and replied affirmatively, "Yes, to be honest, I want to kick Arya out of the Jones


    Family. I want Xavier back."


    Rufus straightened up and pinched his unwrinkled cor, "I hope you won''t let me down."


    Then he added, "You know, I''m not kind."


    Hisst sentence was full of warnings.


    Although Harriet had been with Rufus for a few days, she knew him. She nodded and said, "I know."


    Rufus snorted and walked towards the in-patient department.


    Ryan had not woken up and he had been put on a drip. By now, he had finished the infusion. Arya


    called the nurse to change the medicine. The nurse changed the medicine and told her some


    precautions before leaving the ward with the empty bottle.


    The nurse just left, there was another knock on the ward door. Arya thought the nurse had forgotten to


    say something and said, "Come in."


    The door opened. Arya''s face immediately darkened when she saw that it was Rufus, "What are you


    doing here? Get out now!"


    Rufus nced at Ryan, who was lying on the bed and smiled, "Is your son sick?"


    Arya stood in front of the bed, not letting hime close, "Please leave!"


    Rufus did not take it seriously but smiled even more brightly, "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"


    Arya frowned slightly. She finally realized that Rufus wasing peacefully. To avoid being


    misunderstood, she bypassed Rufus and wanted to open the door of the ward. When she passed


    Rufus, he grabbed her wrist. "Why are you careful of me? I''m not a tiger who bites people."


    As he spoke, he deliberately approached Arya''s ear, full of flirtation.


    Aryapressed her lips tightly with her hand reaching into her pocket quietly. She grappled Rufus'',


    "Don''t insult the tiger."


    "Oh, then what am I to Miss Harrison? An unforgivable viin?" Rufus stared at Arya''s face.


    Arya didn''t wear makeup, but her face was exceptionally white. Perhaps because of pregnancy, she


    looked intellectual and gentle. And the ordinary women didn''t have this disposition.


    She looked pretty even she was ferocious.


    Rufuspressed his lips, "I think I know why Xavier likes you so much."


    Arya turned her head.


    Rufus didn''t want to provoke Arya, so he let go of her wrist, "How is he?"


    Arya resisted his deliberate intimacy with silence.


    Rufus didn''t like her resisting him in this way, "Don''t provoke me..."


    The door of the ward was pushed open, interrupting his words. Jacob walked in and saw Rufus. He


    looked indifferent, "Are you going out by yourself, or I ask someone to throw you out?"


    When she was dealing with Rufus, Arya secretly called Jacob, so he came over at this time.


    Rufus pointed at Jacob, "Good job."


    Jacob snorted coldly. He was not afraid of Rufus'' unfriendliness. There was no need to pretend to be


    good as they were enemies.


    Jacob had always worked for Xavier who trusted him so he was kind of arrogant. Rufus didn''t want to


    fight him at this time. So he looked at Arya and smiled, "I''ll see you next time."


    Jacob''s face became gloomier. It was shameless of him to harass Arya on purpose when Xavier was


    not here.


    Arya was serious, "If youe over again, I''ll call the police."


    She wasn''t joking. If he bothered her again, she would call the police.


    Rufus didn''t care about Arya''s threat. He smiled and said, "Okay?"


    If the policemen were involved, no one could walk away.


    She didn''t call the police thest time, it showed that she had concerns. He didn''t believe that she


    dared now.


    "Guys." Jacob felt disgusted to see Rufus pestering.


    Rufus patted Jacob on the shoulder, "Don''t be so angry. Xavier is not here. No one will protect you."


    He tidied up his uncluttered cor and looked at Arya, "See you."


    Arya didn''t look at him at all.


    He wasn''t embarrassed, turned around, and left.


    He wasn''t afraid of Jacob. He just didn''t want to make a scene here.


    After Rufus left, Jacob walked over and closed the door. He looked at Arya, "Does he often harass


    you?"


    Arya was helpless about this, and she nodded.


    Jacob couldn''t help but curse. "Son of a b*tch."


    "You arrange for a few people to guard at the door." Ryan had undergone surgery, so he couldn''t move


    easily, so she had to watch out for him.


    Jacob said, "I came with other people."


    "Okay." Arya looked a little tired.

    Jacob hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don''t you postpone going abroad?"


    Obviously, Rufus was restless. What would happen to Ryan if Arya left at this time?


    Rufus would do whatever he wanted.


    "I''ll ask Edward to video-call you. And you can know what''s going on over there. Is that okay?"


    Arya knew what Jacob was worried about, which was what Arya was worried about.


    She was struggling and conflicted.


    Seeing that she hesitated, Jacob continued to persuade, "I heard from Edward that there was a sign of


    improvement."


    "Really?"


    Arya suddenly looked up.


    "Yes."


    Jacob answered affirmatively.


    "You can''t stand the upheaval now. You should stay and take care of Ryan. I''ll keep an eye on the


    situation over there."


    Arya thought about it and finally agreed.


    Although she was worried about Xavier''s situation, she had to take care of his home.


    In the Old Residence.


    Henry didn''te back until night. Seeing hime in, Harriet quickly went over, "Isn''t Daisy back?"


    Henry looked tired, "She''s staying in the hospital."


    Bridget was fine, but Ryan wasn''t awake, so he needed someone to apany him. Daisy could take


    care of him in the hospital.


    "Henry, let''s have dinner." Harriet pulled him into the dining room affectionately. Nanny May had


    prepared dinner and she was unwilling to serve Harriet. Two persons were in the hospital. What about


    her? As soon as she came back, she asked her to prepare dinner. Did she really think of herself as a


    member of the Jones Family?


    Nanny May hated to see her being attentive, with two looks when someone was home and no one was


    home.


    ''What a duplicitous woman!''


    "I''m going to the hospital to deliver food." Nanny May said after packing.


    Henry nodded and said, "Okay, let the driver take you there. Take more."


    Nanny May said, "Sure."


    Nanny May had packed up and left. Harriet wanted to tell Henry after dinner. But now Nanny May left,


    she had got this chance.


    "Henry."


    "What''s the matter?" Henry looked up. He had no appetite today.


    "I don''t know if I could say it." Harriet pretended to be in a dilemma.


    "Say it!" Henry''s tone became heavier. He preferred straightforward people. If she didn''t want to say it,


    then she didn''t start it. Since she decided to say it, there was no need to hesitate.


    "I saw Arya in the hospital..."


    As Harriet spoke, she took out her phone and opened the photo album, handed it to him. "Take a look."


    The photo was taken when Rufus grabbed Arya and leaned against her ear to talk. Harriet took the


    photo with a good angle, making them look close. Henry personally told Arya today to stay away from


    the Gates Family because he was trying to ept her. Daisy had been trying to persuade him for the


    past few days. He felt that Daisy''s words made sense. Arya and Xavier were married and they had


    Ryan. They would have a second child now. After Ryan entered the operating room, he understood,


    but...
