My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 4

Bumping into a narrow corridor, Josiah was stunned when he saw me. He straightened his clothes and said, "Miss Reid, I'm here to treat Andrea."

Josiah was Hendrix's best buddy. There was a saying that one would know how much a man cared for the woman by just observed how close his friends treat the woman.-

Without even looking at the attitude, and just by listening to how he addressed me, it always seemed like 'Miss Reid' was the only way to call me.

How polite and distant!

Well, I shouldn't be noticing too many details in this, otherwise it would bother me for long. Therefore, I forced a smile and excused myself, "Sure, go in!"

Sometimes I really envy Andrea a lot. With just a few tears, she could have the warmth and care that I couldn't get even if I worked hard for the rest of my life.

After going back to the bedroom, I found a set of Hendrix's unworn clothes. Then I took them and went down to the living room.

Josiah treated Andrea very quickly. He measured her body temperature and prescribed some antipyretics. Soon, he was ready to leave.

When he went downstairs, he saw me standing in the living room. Then, he smiled awkwardly. "It's late. Miss Reid, aren't you heading to bed?"

"I'll sleep soon!" I handed the clothes in my hand to him and said, "Your clothes are wet, and it's still raining outside. It's best to change into a set of clean ones before you leave so that you won't catch a cold."

Probably because he didn't expect that I would offer him clothes, he was stunned for a while. Then he smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm strong, so I'll be fine!"

I shoved the clothes to him and said, "Hendrix had never worn this, even the price tag is still there. Since both of your body figures are similar, just put it on!"

After that, I went upstairs and returned to the bedroom.

In fact, I was not that kind. When my grandmother was hospitalized, the chief surgeon was Josiah. He was an internationally famous doctor. If it weren't for Roberts, he wouldn't have agreed to perform surgery on my grandmother, and I guessed the clothes could be regarded as repaying his kindness.

The next day.
