Chapter 298


    Suddenly, Xavier did not dare to move forward.


    He shouldn''t have allowed her to go to the wedding alone. He was going to Jasper''s wedding with her


    today, but Arya refused to let him go.


    Arya knew that Xavier was overbearing, and Jasper was a thorn in his flesh. He would only be unhappy


    if he went, so she refused his apany.


    She didn''t expect Harriet to be so crazy.


    At this moment, the surgery was over. Arya took a few steps forward, eager to know how Jasper was.


    The attending doctor came out first. Before he could say anything, Arya grabbed him, "Jasper... How is


    he?"


    The doctor sighed slightly and looked solemn, "We''ve tried our best."


    Arya didn''t want to believe it and kept backing away.


    ''How could it be?''


    ''Impossible...''


    Arya rushed in like a maniac. She didn''t believe what the doctor said.


    "Please calm down. We''ve really tried our best. All of his wounds were gunshot wounds, one in his


    internal organs..."


    Xavier hugged her from behind. Arya cried, shouted, and struggled. "Let go of me! Let go of me. Let


    me see him. I don''t believe he''s dead!"


    Xavier could notfort her with words, so he could only hug her tightly.


    The doctor sighed helplessly and turned to walk in.


    Arya stared at the door that was closed again and sobbed softly. She only quietly shed tears but didn''t


    cry loudly, which made others heartbroken.


    "Let me go." Her voice was very soft.


    Xavier hesitated and did not dare to let go.


    Now she was unstable and moody.


    Unexpectedly, Arya exploded the next second. She roared, "I told you to let me go!"


    Xavier didn''t let go, she struggled hard and even hurt herself.


    "I''ll let you go. Calm down..."


    Xavier slowly loosened his grip and let her go, but his face darkened.


    The side door of the emergency room opened and Jasper was wheeled out by the medical staff. He


    was covered in white cloth and no one could see anything.


    Arya shuddered and slowly walked over. Xavier wanted to stop her, but she shook his hand away.


    She didn''t believe it.


    It was impossible.


    However, she took only two steps before she fell to the ground. It was Xavier who reacted quickly and


    held her by the waist steadily. The medical staff looked at Xavier as if they were asking if they wanted


    to see Jasper.


    Xavier shook his head and left with Arya in his arms.


    Instead of staying in the hospital, he took her back and asked Edward to examine her.


    "She fainted from grief," Edward said after the examination.


    Xavier stood by the bed and looked at her through the beam of light. Although she was very close to


    him, he felt that she was far away and far beyond his reach.


    While he was looking at her, he seemed to sympathize with her mixed feelings.


    In the past, she felt guilty about Jasper. Now, Jasper died because of her.


    It was conceivable how she felt.


    Jasper was not a thorn in his flesh, but was like a mountain, separating him from Arya.


    Xavier asked Edward to stay in the hotel. Arya was emotionally unstable, so Edward had to be there.


    Edward nodded and he was confused, wondering what was going on.


    But he didn''t dare to ask.


    He could only agree and leave the room.


    Xavier sat in the chair by the bed. The dim light covered most of his body, and he rested his elbows on


    the armrest, pressing his forefinger against his brow.


    It was so sudden and unexpected that he was caught off guard.


    Arya woke up at night. The room was dark except for the light that came in through the window. She


    lifted the quilt and got out of bed barefoot. She didn''t go out, or cry, or make a scene. She walked to the


    window and looked out the window with unseeing eyes.


    Neither the bustling streets, the noisy crowds, nor the shing neon lights caught her attention.


    Xavier had to find out who did it.


    Jacob knew Xavier best. When Xavier was taking care of Arya, he had already gone to investigate and


    figure out what was going on.


    "Now Harriet has escaped. Only two aplices have been caught. They suffered serious injuries and


    are being treated in hospital. I will cooperate with the police to find out the details," Jacob said in a low


    voice.


    Xavier sank into the sofa and listened expressionlessly.


    ''Harriet.''


    She was now the granddaughter of the Porter Family. She was not only powerful but also loved and


    respected by many people. She could live a good life in the future. Why did she do this and put herself


    in this position?


    "Haven''t found her yet?"


    Jacob shook his head. "No, she must be scared. After all, Jasper died."


    Xavier knew her very well. Apart from the Harrison Family, she had few friends or rtives. If she had


    nned for a long time, then she would have n B, "Have you checked her departure records?"


    "Yes. She didn''t leave the country." Jacob said.


    "Send two people to keep an eye on the Harrison Family." Xavier said cooly. Then he had no desire to


    speak anymore.


    Jacob nodded, "Okay."


    He was very observant and stood up to quietly leave the room.


    Xavier rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and nced at the time. It was alreadyte at night. He got up and


    walked to Ryan''s room, who was already asleep. Xavier sat down by the bed and reached out to


    caress his cheek. His long and curly eyshes were like a palm-leaf fan, scattering evenly across his


    eyes.


    "Ryan, what should we do?"


    Feeling itchy, Ryan moved and muttered as if he was unhappy.


    His brow was furrowed.


    Xavier took his hand away. Ryan looked like Arya when he frowned.


    A slight smile appeared on Xavier''s face when he thought of Arya.


    But soon the smile faded. He tucked Ryan in and got up to leave the room, gently closing the door.


    He stood at the door and looked at Arya''s bedroom. He stood there for a long time before he walked


    over and opened the door. It was dark in the room and there was no one on the bed. Xavier walked in


    and saw Arya standing at the window.


    She was wearing a nightgown that Xavier had changed for her, and her feet were bare.


    Xavier picked up the slippers by the bed and ced them at her feet, "Put on your slippers. It''s cold on


    the floor."


    Arya did not move or speak.


    Xavier closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "What''s done is done. What do you want?"


    Arya lowered her head and looked at him. There was no light in her eyes, which were as dim as falling


    stars.


    Xavier grabbed her ankle, "Come on, put them on."


    Arya followed his strength and put her foot into the cotton white slippers, continuing to stand still.


    "You must be hungry. Let''s go eat something." Xavier put his arm around her shoulder. She hadn''t


    eaten or drunk for more than ten hours since she came back.

    Arya put Xavier''s hand away and walked out on her own.


    Xavier stood there and looked at her.


    He had mixed feelings. In the end, he endured it and followed her out...
