With an extremely unnatural expression, Orlando asked, "Didn't you say that you knew I have a crush on someone deep in my heart?"
Arya nodded. "Yes."
Orlando gingerly asked, "Do you know who the person is?"
"How could I know that?" Arya looked at him and replied.
Orlando could not tell how he felt. He put on a casual look again. "The fact that I have a crush on her won't change anything since she was already married..."
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Xavier came in. His wrinkled clothes were changed, and his beard was shaved. He seemed to be much more energetic.
Orlando stood up from his chair. "Mr. Jones."
Xavier compressed his lips and stared at the bowl in Arya's hand. Then he turned to the thermos on the table. This was not the one at home, so this was brought by Orlando.
The relaxing atmosphere disappeared the moment Xavier came in, and the smile on Arya's face faded. She turned to Orlando. "You can go back now. I'm tired and I want to rest."
"Well, get some rest. I'll come to visit when I have time." Orlando turned around and walked towards Xavier. He stopped and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Jones. You have a daughter now."
Xavier was stunned. His heart was filled with excitement. He had been hoping that Arya would give birth to a daughter who looks like her...
Arya looked at Xavier's expression and couldn't help but clench the spoon in her hand. She cast down her eyes and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Don't you know that?"
Xavier stood there in silence as if he agreed with what she said.
Arya was speechless. He just didn't care about her.
She lowered her head and sipped the soup, with tears falling into the bowl.
When she raised her head, her eyes were clear and moist. She put down the bowl and said, "I'm tired and I want to rest."
Xavier understood what she meant. He compressed his lips and said, "I won't let you die alone. I will always be your company through life and death..."
Until now, he still didn't understand what she cared about.
"I'm sleepy." Arya closed her eyes, obviously unwilling to talk to Xavier or even look at him.
In the following week, Arya did not speak to Xavier. To avoid contact, she pretended to sleep when Xavier was there.
Cullen was in a bad situation, and Xavier also needed to deal with Georgina. He knew that Arya was hiding from him, so he went to the company during the day and stayed at the hospital at night.
During the day, Daisy and Nanny Joy stayed at the hospital. Bridget took care of Ryan at home. Arya closed her eyes. Daisy did not know whether or not she was asleep, so she called her gently, "Arya, I brought you food. Would you get up and eat some?"
Arya opened her eyes. Seeing this, Daisy helped her raise the head of the bed so that she could eat.
Daisy poured out the chicken soup she had brought from home and sat by her bed. She looked at Arya. "Let me feed you since you are not feeling well."
After a week, Arya felt a lot better.
"I'll do it myself." Arya reached out and took the bowl from Daisy.
