Chapter 358
With an extremely unnatural expression, Orlando asked, "Didn't you say that you knew I have a crush
on someone deep in my heart?"
Arya nodded. "Yes."
Orlando gingerly asked, "Do you know who the person is?"
"How could I know that?" Arya looked at him and replied.
Orlando could not tell how he felt. He put on a casual look again. "The fact that I have a crush on her
won't change anything since she was already married..."
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Xavier came in. His wrinkled clothes were
changed, and his beard was shaved. He seemed to be much more energetic.
Orlando stood up from his chair. "Mr. Jones."
Xavier compressed his lips and stared at the bowl in Arya's hand. Then he turned to the thermos on the
table. This was not the one at home, so this was brought by Orlando.
The relaxing atmosphere disappeared the moment Xavier came in, and the smile on Arya's face faded.
She turned to Orlando. "You can go back now. I'm tired and I want to rest."
"Well, get some rest. I'll come to visit when I have time." Orlando turned around and walked towards
Xavier. He stopped and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Jones. You have a daughter now."
Xavier was stunned. His heart was filled with excitement. He had been hoping that Arya would give
birth to a daughter who looks like her...
Arya looked at Xavier's expression and couldn't help but clench the spoon in her hand. She cast down
her eyes and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Don't you know that?"
Xavier stood there in silence as if he agreed with what she said.
Arya was speechless. He just didn't care about her.
She lowered her head and sipped the soup, with tears falling into the bowl.
When she raised her head, her eyes were clear and moist. She put down the bowl and said, "I'm tired
and I want to rest."
Xavier understood what she meant. He compressed his lips and said, "I won't let you die alone. I will
always be your company through life and death..."
Until now, he still didn't understand what she cared about.
"I'm sleepy." Arya closed her eyes, obviously unwilling to talk to Xavier or even look at him.
In the following week, Arya did not speak to Xavier. To avoid contact, she pretended to sleep when
Xavier was there.
Cullen was in a bad situation, and Xavier also needed to deal with Georgina. He knew that Arya was
hiding from him, so he went to the company during the day and stayed at the hospital at night.
During the day, Daisy and Nanny Joy stayed at the hospital. Bridget took care of Ryan at home. Arya
closed her eyes. Daisy did not know whether or not she was asleep, so she called her gently, "Arya, I
brought you food. Would you get up and eat some?"
Arya opened her eyes. Seeing this, Daisy helped her raise the head of the bed so that she could eat.
Daisy poured out the chicken soup she had brought from home and sat by her bed. She looked at
Arya. "Let me feed you since you are not feeling well."
After a week, Arya felt a lot better.
"I'll do it myself." Arya reached out and took the bowl from Daisy.
Daisy did not insist and handed her the bowl.
These days she didn't talk to Xavier and kept avoiding him. Daisy knew that Arya might feel
uncomfortable that Xavier didn't choose her at that time. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still
wanted to speak for her son. "Arya, I know that you are feeling sad ..."
"Mom." Arya interrupted her. "Mom, you are his mother. It's intolerable if he disregards your life. I never
think he did anything wrong." Arya paused and continued, "You are also a mother. You should know the
importance of a child to a mother. I feel the pain not for myself, but for my child."
"I know it all. We didn't treat you well. Please forgive me..."
"Mom, you don't need to apologize. Both you and Xavier did nothing wrong. It's me who couldn't let go
of the unpleasantness. I want to be alone for a while. Maybe I'll be fine when I figure it out."
She was being completely honest about her feelings. If Xavier was the kind of person who didn't care
about the safety of his mother, then he was not worthy of her love.
Just the thought of his indifference to the child distressed her.
After hearing the words of Arya, Daisy could not persuade her anymore. She just hoped that Arya
would feel better soon.
In the afternoon, the newborn department informed that the child had passed through the critical period
and could be brought back. Daisy went there and took the baby.
After a week, her small face was no longer wrinkled the way she was at the time of birth. Her hair was
black, and very few babies had such good hair at birth.
When Daisy hold the baby into the ward, she was sleeping.
Arya saw the baby for the first time. She reached out to Daisy and said, "Let me hold her."
Daisy gently placed the baby in Arya's arms.
She was still a small baby and it's hard to tell who she looked like. She slept quietly with her eyes
closed. Her body was soft. Arya lowered her head and wondered whether or not Ryan was also like
this as a child?
Arya kissed her little hands. She didn't take good care of Ryan in the past, and this time she almost put
her in danger as well. "Baby, I'm sorry..."
Arya didn't want to cry, but with the sorrow in her heart, tears fell uncontrollably.
Daisy felt bad too and walked out of the room while wiping the tears.
Xavier came back a bit late tonight. Daisy told him that the child was brought back.
He said nothing and entered the room.
Arya's room was very quiet.
This was the first time he had seen the baby. Even after hearing what Orlando said, he didn't come to
see her.
Arya said that she would give birth to the baby at the cost of her own life. At the thought of this, his love
and expectation for this baby became a sharp sword that pierced his heart.
He thought that he only loved Arya, but at this moment, looking at this child, he was overwhelmed by
excitement. And his feelings at this moment were beyond description.
At that time, he thought that if Arya died, he would follow her. Now he realized that he was wrong. The
baby was so young that she didn't get the chance to see the world. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Xavier gently touched her little cheek and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have given up on you."
Arya had been looking after the baby during the day, so she was having a sound sleep now...
