My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 813

"Let's go to the hospital later," Hendrix said, as he raised his hand to push aside the hair on my forehead.

Startled, I replied instinctively, "There's no need for that. We have to find Anne first."

He frowned as he called me, "Arianna..."

"I said, we have to find Anne first." After saying that, I walked straight out of the door. He grabbed me by my wrist.

Hendrix frowned, mostly out of resignation. He said, "I'll look for Anne, and you'll visit the hospital, okay?"

I looked at him, an inexplicable anger rising in my heart. Shaking him off, I said without thinking, "You'll look for her? You didn't raise her, you didn't put your energy and love into her. She's not your own child, so you can simply say that you'll look for her to brush things off? Hendrix Roberts, do you think that I can go to the hospital with a peace of mind now? Or do you think that because Anne isn't your own child, it doesn't matter even if she goes missing?"

Those words were out of anger and of impulse.

As soon as I said that, I regretted it.

Hendrix's dark eyes seemed to be bitterly cold. He looked at me and pursed his lips, saying with his icy eyes, "Am I that cold-blooded to you?"

I didn't say anything. Deep down, I knew that those words had hurt him. However, I was stubborn, so I refused to apologize even though I knew that I was in the wrong.

I looked down slightly and bit my lip. In the end, I only said, "I should go."

That kind of evasive answer would inevitably enrage him.

As expected, I didn't even take a single step before he grabbed my hand. He said in a deep and cold voice, "Arianna, am I still no better than any single person around you?"

He was angry.

I could have spoken properly, but at that moment, I spoke as if I had been bewitched, "Yes, everyone around me is more important than you. Anne, the Reid family, even the Moore family, they are all people that I can't abandon. You're the only one whom I can give up anytime. Hence, Mr. Roberts, please let go of me as I need to find the one whom I cannot abandon."

As I saw the light in his eyes grow dimmer, I hesitated, but still peeled off his grip around my hand in the end.

I turned around to not look at his face anymore, and exited the hotel room.
