Chapter 97
Arya choked, unable to say anything. Only then did Xavier realize that both her body and hair were wet.
Xavier lowered his head and kissed her. And it was impossible for him to stop immediately.
It was like starving him for three days, then giving him a drumstick, letting him taste it, but not giving
him.
His movements were much softer. He held her slender body in his arms and kissed her cheek. Perhaps Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
it was because she was sweating, her cheeks were very cold. Xavier gently kissed her eyes.
Arya turned her head and didn't want to look at him. She looked bad now.
Xavier finished as soon as possible, but Arya still suffered a lot. Coupled with the stomachache, she
collapsed and didn't even have the strength to get up.
Xavier turned on the light and realized that her face was pale.
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. At first, he did deliberately make her suffer. He was angry that
she had Jasper in her heart. Jasper had just returned, and she went to visit Jasper's parents with him.
He was definitely angry.
But when he saw her like this, the anger reduced by more than half. He found his cell phone and called
Edward.
Xavier knew that Edward came back with Bridget on the plane.
The phone was connected, and Xavier said to Edward, "Come to the villa now."
"It's too late." Edward was a little unhappy that Xavier called him in the middle of the night.
"I'll give you ten minutes." After that, Xavier hang up the phone, bent over to pick Arya up, and went
into the bathroom to wash her body.
Arya had no strength at all. She was so weak that she let Xavier hold her. She didn't even want to open
her eyes. Hence, she closed her eyes throughout the shower.
Xavier caressed her face. "What's wrong?"
Arya didn't want to talk to him, so she didn't answer him or open her eyes. She resisted him silently.
Xavier reached out to her lower body. Arya opened her eyes abruptly and looked at him in horror.
Xavier rubbed her face and said earnestly, "If I asked, you have to answer. It's courtesy. Do you know?"
Arya opened her eyes and sobbed.
Xavier sighed. "Arya, I don't like you resisting me in this way."
"Can I lie down for a while?" Arya looked at him with watery eyes. She felt uncomfortable, and she felt
hurt everywhere.
Xavier agreed and pulled her out of the bathtub, wrapping a towel around her body, and carried her out.
He threw back the quilt and put her under the covers.
After taking a hot bath and lying on the bed, Arya felt more comfortable.
But she was still tired.
Seeing that she looked better, Xavier got up to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into a clean
suit. As soon as he left the bathroom, Nanny Joy came up.
Edward rang the doorbell. Nanny Joy woke up and went to open the door. Only when she saw Edward
did she know that Xavier was back.
"The doctor is here."
Xavier opened the door. Nanny Joy saw Xavier and looked him up and down. He didn't seem to be
sick.
Xavier didn't like being looked at like this. He frowned slightly. "Tell him to come up."
"Are you..." Nanny Joy was about to ask if he was sick when she saw Arya lying on the bed.
"Is Miss sick?" Nanny Joy asked.
Xavier paused for a moment and gave a light hum.
Nanny Joy understood, turned around, and went downstairs to call Edward. Just two steps later, Xavier
stopped her. "Her surname is Harrison."
Nanny Joy was stunned.
She had been to the villa and only went to the mall. She knew very little about what was going on
outside.
She was only focused on taking care of Xavier and Arya's daily life.
Without all that curiosity, she just needed to do her job.
Edward came up with a big medicine box and looked at Xavier plaintively.
Xavier ignored his gaze and asked him to check Arya.
Edward walked to the bed, put down the medicine box, looked at Arya, and asked, "What's wrong with
you?"
It was an old weakness and she had been taking medicine, but she didn't bring it over to the villa. Her
voice was a little weak. "I have a stomachache."
Arya told him about the medicine she took for her stomachache.
Edward raised his eyebrows slightly. That med was used to treat gastritis caused by prolonged irregular
eating or uneven hunger.
Edward opened the medicine box and found the medicine she was talking about. He did not forget to
remind, "Stomach disease needs to be treated carefully."
Edward looked up at her. She was indeed a little thin. "Are you busy at work? No matter how busy you
are, you have to eat regularly so that you can be healthy."
Arya didn't want to hear this. She knew her own situation.
Reaching out for the medicine Edward had put on the table, she threw it into her mouth. There was no
water on the table, so she simply swallowed it. "Can you please go out? I'm sleepy."
Xavier's eyes twitched. 'What was she doing just now?'
Xavier felt very uncomfortable to see her look.
Xavier's voice was cold. "Edward, wait for me downstairs."
Edward was not in a good mood, so he left the room with the medicine box and went downstairs.
Xavier poured a cup of warm water, walked to the bed, and helped her up. "Have some water."
Arya was indeed thirsty. The pill seemed to have stuck to her esophagus. She took two sips of water
and felt better.
Xavier rubbed her hair, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you ask me to get you some water?"
"I'm used to it." Arya sounded weak.
She was used to being alone, and to taking medicine when she was sick. When it hurt too much, she
would swallow it if she didn't want to move.
Xavier was stunned for a few seconds. 'Getting used to it?'
'Getting used to taking meds like this when there's no one around?'
Arya looked weak. Xavier patted her on the back. "Good night."
Arya slowly closed her eyes. She was really tired and sleepy.
When Arya fell asleep, Xavierwent downstairs.
Edward sat glumly on the sofa, looking a little down.
Nanny Joy knew that Arya was not feeling well so she did not dare to sleep. She stayed downstairs to
see if she had anything to do.
"Nanny Joy, go to bed first." Xavier had something to say to Edward.
"Does Miss Harrison needs me?" Nanny Joy asked.
"I can take care of her." Xavier sat down across Edward, looking a little tired. He pressed his temple.
Nanny Joy had been a servant for a long time and had sharp eyes. Seeing that Xavier didn't want
anyone to be here, she turned around and entered her room.
Edward already knew about Xavier and Harriet's annulment.
He really admired Xavier. After such a long time being with Harriet, he could end this relationship
without hesitation.
'Is he heartless or emotional?'
He was heartless towards Harriet and emotional towards the woman upstairs.
"Is there any medicine for removing scars?" Xavier suddenly asked.
Edward was in a trance for a moment. "Yes, but I can't give it to you for nothing."
Without waiting for Xavier to lose his temper, Edward continued, "Help me chase Bridget. That Jasper
doesn't like her at all. He treats her as if she were a stranger because he values Bridget's family
connections."
Edward heard from Xavier that Bridget had a boyfriend. He went to the army and met Jasper.
At that time, Xavier didn't know that the boyfriend Bridget mentioned was Jasper.
Xavier looked up at Edward.
Edward was afraid that Xavier would refuse, so he hurriedly explained, "You have to believe me. What I
said is true. In the army, I saw that man. He would often read a letter and then show a very happy
smile. And that woman he loved was definitely not Bridget, so if Bridget insists on being with Jasper, it
was her who suffered."
Xavier looked at Edward for two seconds. His voice was as calm as before a storm. "What's written in
that letter?"
