Rufus stared at her eyes, "Will you help me?"
Harriet nodded hard and replied affirmatively, "Yes, to be honest, I want to kick Arya out of the Jones Family. I want Xavier back."
Rufus straightened up and pinched his unwrinkled collar, "I hope you won't let me down."
Then he added, "You know, I'm not kind."
His last sentence was full of warnings.
Although Harriet had been with Rufus for a few days, she knew him. She nodded and said, "I know."
Rufus snorted and walked towards the in-patient department.
Ryan had not woken up and he had been put on a drip. By now, he had finished the infusion. Arya called the nurse to change the medicine. The nurse changed the medicine and told her some precautions before leaving the ward with the empty bottle.
The nurse just left, there was another knock on the ward door. Arya thought the nurse had forgotten to say something and said, "Come in."
The door opened. Arya's face immediately darkened when she saw that it was Rufus, "What are you doing here? Get out now!"
Rufus glanced at Ryan, who was lying on the bed and smiled, "Is your son sick?"
Arya stood in front of the bed, not letting him come close, "Please leave!"
Rufus did not take it seriously but smiled even more brightly, "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Arya frowned slightly. She finally realized that Rufus was coming peacefully. To avoid being misunderstood, she bypassed Rufus and wanted to open the door of the ward. When she passed Rufus, he grabbed her wrist. "Why are you careful of me? I'm not a tiger who bites people."
As he spoke, he deliberately approached Arya's ear, full of flirtation.
Arya compressed her lips tightly with her hand reaching into her pocket quietly. She grappled Rufus', "Don't insult the tiger."
"Oh, then what am I to Miss Harrison? An unforgivable villain?" Rufus stared at Arya's face.
Arya didn't wear makeup, but her face was exceptionally white. Perhaps because of pregnancy, she looked intellectual and gentle. And the ordinary women didn't have this disposition.
She looked pretty even she was ferocious.
Rufus compressed his lips, "I think I know why Xavier likes you so much."
Arya turned her head.
Rufus didn't want to provoke Arya, so he let go of her wrist, "How is he?"
Arya resisted his deliberate intimacy with silence.
Rufus didn't like her resisting him in this way, "Don't provoke me..."
The door of the ward was pushed open, interrupting his words. Jacob walked in and saw Rufus. He looked indifferent, "Are you going out by yourself, or I ask someone to throw you out?"
When she was dealing with Rufus, Arya secretly called Jacob, so he came over at this time.
Rufus pointed at Jacob, "Good job."
Jacob snorted coldly. He was not afraid of Rufus' unfriendliness. There was no need to pretend to be good as they were enemies.
Jacob had always worked for Xavier who trusted him so he was kind of arrogant. Rufus didn't want to fight him at this time. So he looked at Arya and smiled, "I'll see you next time."
Jacob's face became gloomier. It was shameless of him to harass Arya on purpose when Xavier was not here.
Arya was serious, "If you come over again, I'll call the police."
She wasn't joking. If he bothered her again, she would call the police.
Rufus didn't care about Arya's threat. He smiled and said, "Okay?"
If the policemen were involved, no one could walk away.
She didn't call the police the last time, it showed that she had concerns. He didn't believe that she dared now.
"Guys." Jacob felt disgusted to see Rufus pestering.
Rufus patted Jacob on the shoulder, "Don't be so angry. Xavier is not here. No one will protect you."
He tidied up his uncluttered collar and looked at Arya, "See you."
Arya didn't look at him at all.
