After Daisy and Bridget left, Arya took out her phone and dialed a number, but no one answered. Arya had to hang up and call Edward instead.
At this moment, Edward was talking to Doctor Will. Xavier's condition was not very optimistic. He had been unconscious for three days after the operation.
Now that Arya called, he didn't dare to answer.
Will was confused, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Edward sighed. "It's his wife who called."
Will understood.
The more times that Edward didn't answer the phone, the more uneasy Arya was, and the more worried she was, concerning that Xavier's treatment wasn't going well.
After two unanswered calls, Arya was worried. She called Nanny Joy and asked her to take care of Ryan. She went to the company to look for Jacob.
Jacob was watching over the company, and Arya rarely came over. Jacob was surprised when she suddenly appeared at the company, "Why are you here?"
Especially when Ryan was still in the hospital.
Arya asked directly, "How's Xavier now? Is his treatment not going well?"
If everything went well, why couldn't she contact anyone?
Jacob's expression changed instantly. Edward did tell him about Xavier's current situation, so now that Arya came to ask him, he didn't know what to say, but he wouldn't avoid like Edward.
Jacob acted very naturally. "A few days ago, Edward called me and said that he would have surgery in the next two days. Nothing should happen."
Arya looked at Jacob quietly for a few seconds. There was no flaw in his expression, so she slowly looked back. She always felt very uneasy.
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Edward over there." Jacob tried to comfort her and reassure her.
Arya held his forehead. "If Edward contacts you again, tell him to call me."
Jacob said quickly, "Okay."
Ryan was still in the hospital. Arya was worried, "I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off."
"No need."
Arya waved her hand.
Jacob called Edward.
Edward picked it up immediately when he saw that it was Jacob calling this time. Before Jacob could say anything, Edward couldn't wait to say that Arya had called him. "I didn't even dare to answer it. I don't know what to say to her."
If Jacob was with him now, he would have scolded him. Why was he so stupid? Did he think that Arya wouldn't think too much as long as he didn't answer the phone?
"If she calls you again, you have to answer the phone."
Edward was not happy, "What should I say? If I told her the truth about Xavier's current situation, don't I make her worry?!"
Jacob wanted to curse, but he held his temper, "Can't you just say that it's not convenient for him to answer the phone?"
The expression on Edward's face was funny and unbelievable, "You want me to lie?"
Jacob's face was more darkened. "A white lie is not a lie."
"But..."
"Ryan may have an operation recently. Do you want her to worry both sides?"
Jacob almost yelled at him.
Edward could only say, "I see."
Jacob shouted at the phone, "Are you stupid?!"
'No wonder Bridget doesn't like him. What else could he do besides study some drugs?'
Arya didn't believe Jacob at all. When Jacob came back, she followed him back. As expected, he called Edward.
Judging by his conversation with Edward, Arya could basically guess that Xavier was in a bad situation. She wanted to go over and take a look, but Ryan needed her.
Jacob opened the door and was stunned to see Arya standing at the door.
'Why, why is she here?'
Didn't she already leave?
