Chapter 411

After thinking for a while, I half kneeled on the bed and stretched out my hand to hold his face and give

him a kiss on his forehead. "Hendrix, I didn't say thank you because I wanted to keep my distance from

you. I really wanted to tell you that I am grateful for you for taking care of me."

He looked at me, withdrew his hand, and directly kissed me on the lips. The kiss was really intense,

making me feel a little dizzy.

After a long while, he let go of me and gazed at me lovingly. "Well, if you really want to thank me, stay

at home for a few days and don't go out."

I initially wanted to promise him. However, such a big accident had just happened to the Grangers, and

now the Roberts had also been involved in a lot of trouble. It was unrealistic for me to just sit at home

and do nothing.

I could not help but to look at him and said, "I can ask Minnie to accompany me. In fact, it's not a big

deal. As long as I'm not hurt, it's okay."

His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Do I have the final say or do you?"

When he saw that I didn't reply, he put the medicine box away, took off his jacket, looked at me, and

said, "Have a good rest. Don't think too much. I'm going to take a shower."

I didn't want to pay attention to him. I huddled up under the comforter and couldn't fall asleep for a

while. I couldn't find my cell phone for a long time, but I saw his phone lying on the bedside table.

I couldn't help but to ask him in the bathroom, "Hendrix, can I play with your phone?"

"To check on me?" He peered with half of his body from the bathroom and smiled. "Check it out if you

want to. You know the password yourself."

I couldn't help but to stare at him and said, "I'm not checking on you. I just want to play with it."

He raised his eyebrows and went into the bathroom.

I took his phone. I've downloaded a video on his phone and it wasn't deleted. I thought he would at

least open it and watch it.

But after scrolling his phone album, I knew that he didn't look at it at all, what more registering it.

I had nothing to do. So, I registered his account and used his phone number.

After I was done, I lay down on the bed and scrolled a few videos, and a phone call came in.

It was Austin.

The water in the bathroom was still flowing, indicating that Hendrix was still taking a shower. I called

Hendrix in the bathroom, but he asked me to take it in a low voice.

I picked up the phone and nodded, but I didn't speak. Austin complained. "Hendrix, what are you

doing? Why are you only answering the phone now?"

I wanted to answer that he was taking a shower. However, before I could speak, someone else spoke.

Austin said very quickly, "Maybe we still need to take a look at the hospital, especially in the Southern

District of Jarold City. A patient had been dead for two months. The hospital is still charging for

treatment, and the fees are nearly five million dollars. It's a big deal. The patient's family left a note and

it has been sent to the Health Department. This matter has to be handled as soon as possible. The

media won't be able to handle it."

"Well, I will tell him later!" I said, and I couldn't help thinking about the hospital. It was such a big trap.

Was Josiah's actions done on purpose?

"Arianna?" Austin was surprised. "How could it be you? Why are you answering Hendrix's phone?

Where is he?"

Feeling a little sleepy, I yawned and said, "He's taking a shower. If you don't mind, I'll hand it over to

him later. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

He might have felt that I had eavesdropped on Hendrix, so he said angrily, "Arianna, you're still so

apathetic after eavesdropping on someone else's call. Where are your manners? Do you have any

courtesy? It's fine if you steal someone else's phone, but now that you've done something like

eavesdropping, I thought that the reason for your marriage was because of Master Roberts. Now, it

looks like Master Roberts had been hypnotizing you."

I was speechless. "Mr. Shelley, did you read too many novels? Hendrix did not say anything about me

marrying him. But you talk about it every day. Do you like Hendrix or what? If you hate me so much that

I've snatched him away from you, I don't mind you dating him privately. Moreover, I'm telling you clearlynovelbin

that it was Hendrix who asked me to answer the phone, and please figure out the situation next time."

His tone was bossy. This destroyed the good impression I had on him previously.
