"Brother, we are siblings, right? If she really loves you and is good for you, she won't let you stay with her and not go home..."
"Her?"
Xavier stood up from the bed. Arya felt something wrong with Xavier and reached out to hold him. She said, "It's very late today. Let Bridget go back first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Xavier looked back at Arya and smiled. He said, "I know. I just want to ask her a question."
He looked fine. Arya let go of her hand.
Xavier stood half a meter away from Bridget. His face was expressionless and there was no emotion in her voice. He asked, "Bridget, who is that 'her'?"
Xavier pointed at Arya.
Bridget looked at Arya. "My... My sister-in-law..."
"What did you call her just now?" Xavier almost forced her to answer that, then smiled, as if mocking, "That's right, she's divorced from me. It's not right for you to call her sister-in-law. How incompetent am I? I can't even protect my wife and kid. How great are you? You can force her to sign the divorce papers, and now you can all blame her!"
This was the first time Xavier had mentioned this in front of Arya.
All along, everyone who knew about it had never taken the initiative to say it since it was not a good thing, so everyone shut up.
Xavier felt wronged.
He felt wronged all the time!
That was his family. What could he say?
And now they were here to make an accusation?
Bridget moved her lips, only to find that she could not say anything.
Arya frowned. Didn't he say he wasn't angry?
He became furious all of a sudden.
Arya propped herself up on the bed and stood up. She walked to Xavier and pulled his sleeve. "Xavier..."
Xavier was angry and shook Arya's hand away. He said, "I really want to hear what my sister did for me when my wife and child were being forced..."
"Brother, mom and I wanted to stop it, but... just..."
Xavier's face darkened bit by bit until it looked sharp and gloomy. He asked, "Just what?"
Xavier was also disappointed with Bridget. It was useless for him to talk to her so much when he left.
"It hurts..."
Arya grabbed Xavier.
Xavier was stunned. The next second, he came to his senses and picked her up. He walked towards the bed and asked, "Does it hurt there? Is it your stomach or your leg?"
Arya blinked and said softly, "It hurts."
Xavier stared at her face. "It hurts everywhere?"
Arya nodded and Xavier looked down at her...
"I'll go find the doctor." Nanny Joy came to her senses and immediately went to call the doctor. Bridget also came forward and asked, "Are you going to give birth in advance?"
Xavier looked up at her.
Bridget's eyes were sore from the stare and her throat was tight. She said, "Brother... I was wrong. I'm sorry..."
"Go back." Xavier finally calmed down.
"But..."
Bridget was worried. Having a stomachache when the baby was so big was definitely not a small matter. She said, "I'm going to see if the doctor is here."
As she spoke, she ran out.
