Chapter 670

Looking at the mess in the kitchen, it was likely that she had put the glass bowl on the stovetop, causing it to shatter.

She had stopped sobbing. It was clear that she was scared as her body was trembling. She whimpered, "I just wanted to makeyou some eggs. My classmates said you won't be sick if you eat more eggs."

When | looked closely, | saw two eggs next to the stove. | could not quite process what had just happened. Everything felt unreal.

As | carried Anne onto my lap, | felt a sudden pang of heartache. For the past few days, | had been so preoccupied with thethoughts of Josiah coming over to see her, that | had been distracted and absent-minded most of the time. This was why shemistook me for feeling sick.

“Anne, I'm sorry. |..." Before | could continue talking, my heart wrenched in pain again and tears started pooling in my eyes.

Hendrix looked at us, his face painted with a mix of emotions. He walked towards us and wrapped his arms around us. Hecomforted us gently, "It's okay, everything's fine now. Whatever you do next time, safety first."

| pursed my lips, feeling sick in my stomach. | tried to hold back from vomiting, but my efforts were futile. | couldn't take itanymore and headed straight to the bathroom.

| puked everything up. When | left the bathroom, Hendrix and Anne were staring at me worriedly at the doorway."Mr. Roberts, is Mummy not feeling well?" Anne asked, her eyes red and swollen.

Hendrix remained tight-lipped, his handsome face seemed unforthcoming. After a long pause, he asked Anne to go to thecourtyard to play with Snowball.

| wiped my hands and was about to explain myself when Hendrix cut me off."We're going to the hospital!" He took me by the arm and headed straight for the car porch.

| pushed him away instantly, feeling like | wasn't in the best state of mind. | frowned disapprovingly and asserted sotto voce, "I'mgood. | think my digestive system just hasn't been working well lately, which explains my nausea."

His eyes were visibly bloodshot. Glowering at me, he asked, "How long have yo been experiencing this?"How long?

| did not reply immediately. As | thought about it, it seemed like | had this issue for quite some time now. It began after | met withIrvin. From then on, | had the tendency to puke whenever | was feeling down.

"It's been a while," | muttered. Perhaps | had been sick all along, even more so in the recent weeks that Josiah had been visitingAnne.

Hendrix frowned as he tried to collect himself. Though he was trying to remain composed, | could tell that he was close to losingit.

“Let's go to the hospital for a check- up," he muttered under his breath. Had | not listened carefully, | would not have been able todiscern the emotion in his words.

| started to feel a little annoyed. Not wanting to squabble over this issue, | pushed him away once more and yelled assertively,"Didn't you hear me? | said I'm good. I'm all good. It's not like you're deaf."

As much as he was flabbergasted at my response, so was |. Since my return to Jarold City, this had been the first time | yelled athim.

For a moment, | was lost for words. | wanted to make amends for what | had just said. "I..."

| couldn't even get another word out before the nausea kicked in again.
