Arya seemed to realize something, but she was not sure. "Wait here for me."
Orlando looked very relaxed. "Okay."
Arya walked into the hospital and went to Cullen's ward.
The deputy waited for her at the door. When he saw her coming, he took a few steps forward.
Arya was not in a hurry to go in, but called the deputy aside and asked about Cullen's current condition.
The deputy knew that Arya had just given birth, so he didn't tell her the truth. "He's fine now..."
Arya could feel he was lying. She knew that the deputy might be concerned about her condition, so she did not ask further. "I'll go in and see him."
The deputy stopped her.
Arya looked at him, not in a hurry, just waiting for him to continue.
The deputy told her that Xavier often came to see Cullen. He had no other intention but to let Arya know.
Only when people cared for someone enough would they take good care of the people around the person.
"Last time, Chief was in a bad condition and I was flustered. If Xavier hadn't been here, I would have called you..."
Arya's hands, which were hanging by her sides, slowly clenched. "On the 13th?"
The Deputy thought about it and said yes.
It was the day Daisy was kidnapped by Georgina. That day, she called Xavier. It got through for the first time, but no one answered.
"I see." She took a deep breath and turned to open the door of the ward.
Cullen leaned against the bedside and was waiting for her. When he saw Arya walk in, he reached out to her. "Come here."
Arya walked over and put her hand in his palm. "I should have come to see you earlier."
"Silly child, how can I pick on you? Besides, it's not convenient for you to come. You're still in confinement. Don't get cold." Cullen held her hand, which was warm, so he was relieved. "You have to wear more."
"Okay." She felt a little joyful and a little sorrowful. She couldn't tell how she felt but just wanted to stay with him for a while.
She sat in the chair by the bed, her face resting on Cullen's hand.
She was quiet, without saying anything.
After a long time, Arya looked up at Cullen. "Grandpa, I want to accompany you home."
Cullen was naturally happy that Arya wanted to go back to M City with him.
However, she had just given birth to a child. On the one hand, she had not recovered. On the other hand, should she bring the child with her or not?
After all, it would be better for the baby to be with its mother at birth. But would Xavier agree with it? Would his family agree with it?
After all, it was a happy event to have a new baby, so his family definitely didn't want Arya to take the baby away.
"Of course I want you to come back with me, but the child..."
"I'll take it."
"Does Xavier agree?"
Arya was speechless for a moment because she had not asked Xavier yet.
Cullen held her hand tightly. "I'm relieved to let Xavier take care of you. He's steady and treats both you and me well. It's not good for you to make decisions without asking him."
