My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 23

I stared at his back and sighed. We could no longer go back to how it was before and it was for the best.

"Miss Reid, aren't you worried that Mr. Roberts might hate you?" An aged voice came from the door. Richard came in with my medical report and checked on me. He continued, "It's his child after all. Even if you managed to lie to him this time, what about next time? The truth will out."

I smiled and sat up from the bed. I took the medical report from him and flipped through it. I uttered gratefully, "There is no next time. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Hammer!"

I put away the medical report. I was ready to get out of bed and leave when Richard stopped me. He glanced at me and explained, "Remember your plan. Now you're pretending to be a woman who went through surgery. Have you ever any woman could get out of bed immediately after that?"

That was true!

I lay down on the bed again and stared at Richard. I reminded him, "Hendrix is very careful. He'll probably send someone to check my medical report. Mr. Hammer, I'll need your help with that."

He chuckled and he seemed a little helpless. He sighed, "Alas! Why can't you live a peaceful life? Why do you have to cause so much trouble? But I promised that I would help you, hence I will deal with everything!"

I nodded and thanked him, "I'm sorry to trouble you and Mrs. Hammer." It would be better if few knew about it.

He smiled and nodded before leaving.

That morning, I lay on the bed. The doctor came over and cautioned me about the things that I should pay attention to. After that, I took my medicine and left the hospital.

Kelsey was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. She helped me get into the car. I stared at her and asked, "Find a way to let Andrea know that I did not carry on with my pregnancy."

She nodded. She started the car and sent me back to the villa.
