Female Novel
Chapter 144
Why was she calling for help after so long? Shouldn't she have called Hendrix as soon as she was
taken away?
Seeing that Hendrix was staring at me, I shrugged and said calmly, "She trespassed and messed up
our home, so I called the police."
He pinched the bridge of his nose. After some pause, he said to the phone, "It's getting late now. Stay
there for a night and I hope you learn from this. I'll have Evan deal with it tomorrow."
"Hendrix-" Andrea wanted to say something else, but he hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Hendrix looked at me and said, "You didn't have to file a police report.
Changing the locks will do."
I looked down and played with my fingers, "Did you give her the keys? Or did you put her fingerprints
into the system? Next time, tell me in advance if you asked her to come over. Let's also make things
clear now. I'll sell you the house, and then I'll move out.”
"Arianna," He was clipped, "We're a couple!"
I nodded, "I know. That's why I let the police take her away. After all, the house belonged to you and
me, not her."
He didn't know what to make out of my attitude. He held his forehead and said, "Alright come here," As
he said that, he emptied the space next to him, indicating me to go over.
I understood what he wanted, and I didn't want to be unreasonable, so I got up directly and then laid
down beside him.
He laughed, "You're not that dumb after all."
Ignoring him, I closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.novelbin
The next day.
I slept late the night before, so I woke up slightly later than usual.
I stared at the ceiling for a while. I could hear the sounds of insects and birds from outside. For a
moment there, I thought that I was at home.
I raised my arm to stretch, hitting the person next to me in the process. I looked up and saw that it was
Hendrix. He was signing some documents on the bed.
I hit him in his face with the back of my hand. He looked at me and said, "Good morning."
I withdrew my hand and nodded, "Good morning."
I finally realized that we were still in the hospital and got down from the bed. The hospital bed wasn't as
comfortable as the one at home, and I usually get a stiff neck at home too.
As soon as I got off the bed, I noticed that I occupied most of the bed. I guessed that even when I was
asleep, my body kept leaning towards warm places, and that movement had somehow forced Hendrix
to the edge of the bed.
I felt embarrassed at the sight of that. I lowered my eyes, "I'm sorry." I didn't intentionally want to cram
myself with a patient in bed.
He smiled faintly and put away the documents. Then, he asked me, "Are you hungry?"
As he said that, he moved slightly to the center of the bed. At that time, a nurse came into the ward to
put on the IV fluid for him. The nurse sneaked a few glances at me. It seemed to me that she didn't
come in prior to that because I was sleeping.
Not paying much attention to the nurse, I said lightly, Tm fine." Then I went into the bathroom and
washed up.
When I came out from the bathroom, he still had a few more bottles of IV fluid ready for him. So I
asked, "Do you want to eat anything in particular?"
He smiled, "I'll eat whatever you want."
I didn't want to continue the conversation, so I headed out the ward with my purse in hand and saw
Josiah by the door. Judging by the medical records in his hand, he should be there to see Hendrix.
When he saw me heading out, he said, "Thank you for last night!"
I was confused, then I remembered that he had spent a night at home and shook my head slightly, "It's
nothing, especially when a certain someone is this troublesome. You don't need to thank me."
He laughed lowly, "Where are you heading to?"
"To buy some breakfast," I paused for a second and added, "Have you eaten yet?"
He shook his head and answered. "I just arrived at the hospital."
"Is there anything you want to eat?" I asked.
He shook his head, "I'm not picky."
I nodded. Then I parted ways with him and walked along the corridor to get into the elevator.
