Chapter 58

I had never intended to hide it from Monique. After taking a sip of warm water, I nodded in response.

She paused for a few seconds before staring at me. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get a divorce. Then, I'll go to Andoland to take care of my baby." After all, that was my

original plan.

She rolled her eyes at me and was at a loss for words. "Look at you, you keep throwing up these days

and even I can sense that something's wrong. You always hang around Hendrix, do you think he's an

idiot and will not notice it?"

Monique was right but I couldn't leave immediately. It was impossible for me to leave everything behind

and walk away.

If I did not handle it properly, Hendrix would get suspicious.

After pondering for a while, I made a phone call to Josiah. A few seconds later, he picked up the call.

After the previous incident with Hendrix, I had learned my lesson and waited for Josiah to speak this

time around. I asked, "Doctor Saunders, do you have any ways to stop me from throwing up?"

Monique leaned closer to me and whispered, "What's up with Doctor Saunders? Why would he help

you?"

I did not answer her question. I quietly listened to Josiah's reply as he said, "I have medicine for that

but there are side effects. I wouldn't recommend it. I'll ask Albert tomorrow and discuss with him what

kind of food can help with morning sickness."

"Okay. Thank you, Doctor Saunders."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the call, Monique looked at me curiously and asked, "Hey, is there anything between

you and Doctor Saunders?"

I pushed her head away and walked towards my bedroom, chiding, "Go to sleep. Stop being so nosy!"

"Hey, Arianna..."

I ignored her and went back to my bedroom. I began to prepare some documents on Roberts Group's

auditing project. The project bidding was to be held on the next day.

Initially, I thought that Michael would appear again that night. However, after a few days, there was no

sign of him.

I did not know what was going on.

The next day.

The weather was getting warmer in Ucrebury. It was eight in the morning but the sun was scorching

hot. Monique was a night owl, hence she would never wake up early.novelbin

However, I had to get up early every day because I was busy.

After rushing to the company, Kelsey handed me the documents and urged, "Let's head to the venue!" I

nodded and collected some documents along with my laptop. After that, I left the office with Kelsey.

As we headed for the elevator, I bumped into Hendrix and Josiah. When Josiah noticed me, he handed

me a lunch box and explained, "Albert made you some soup to help with your recovery. I heard from

Hendrix that you've been throwing up recently. It should be pseudocyesis after your miscarriage. You'll

recover after a while."

Initially, I was worried that Hendrix would be suspicious. Yet, after listening to Josiah, I secretly

breathed a sigh of relief and replied gratefully, "Thank you."

Hendrix's face was sullen and emotionless. I was never able to figure out his temper and I did not know

what he felt about me.

The elevator door opened and we entered the elevator together. The air was still but no one broke the

silence until we stepped out of the elevator.

Kelsy stared at me and asked, "Miss Reid, you and Mr. Roberts...?"

"It's getting late. Let's go to the venue now." I did not want to explain. After our fight in the restaurant

previously, I had not been meeting nor speaking to Hendrix.

After arriving at the venue, my temples throbbed when I spotted Sawyer. He noticed me and strode

over energetically. He beamed, "Arianna, you are here!"
