Chapter 174
"So what?"
Before Arya could finish her sentence, Xavier interrupted her domineeringly.
Squeezing Arya's waist, he turned over, made her on his body, and stared at her face. "Is that why you
pretended that you don't like me?"
Arya lowered her head and rested her face on his chest, looking out of the window. She didn't know if
she liked or loved Xavier.
She didn't know if she could persevere with her feelings.
She wasn't sure.
Xavier stroked her long hair and her back. "Ryan really needs a home. A home with you and me."
Xavier knew how much Arya cared about Ryan. He was not sure of what would she do next, but what
she would do was all for Ryan.
"As long as you stay by my side, leave everything else to me."
Arya seized Xavier's collar. Yes, she wanted to give Ryan a complete home, and she didn't want to be
separated from Xavier, either.
So leave everything to him. Give herself a chance, give him a chance, and give their relationship a
chance.
Arya said, "Okay."
Xavier hugged her. "Get up. Let's go to have dinner."
As soon as the door opened, she saw Ryan standing at the door. He looked up. "Mommy, why does it
take you so long to call daddy?"
He wanted to open the door himself, but he was not tall enough to touch the handle even on his tiptoe.
He felt a little unhappy.
Arya coughed to hide her embarrassment.
Xavier picked him up, "You're so nosy."
Ryan pursed her lips. "Of course. She's my mommy. I have to protect her."
Xavier pinched his face. Ryan was really good at the sweet talk.
During dinner, Xavier received a call. The caller ID was Jacob. Arya didn't hear what the people said.
She only heard Xavier say that "I know." and hung up.
"I'll go out. You don't have to wait for me." As he spoke, he stood up and left the dining room.
Arya nodded.
Xavier went upstairs to get dressed and left.
Arya did not know what had happened, but his face was gloomy.
Thinking that it might be something about the company, Arya didn't care too much.
After dinner, Arya carried Ryan upstairs and bathed him.
"Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight."
Arya agreed.
Ryan wrapped his arms around Arya's neck, leaned over her ear and whispered, "Mommy, is this This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
home? The home with you and dad?"
Arya was stunned for a moment. She reached out and touched Ryan's face. Looking at his innocent
smile and his expectant eyes, she felt that she should fight for a chance even for Ryan.
Xavier's words didn't make Arya determined, but on hearing Ryan's words, she made up her mind at
the moment that she would protect her family.
Ryan had suffered so much. She must do her best to give him a warm, healthy and complete family.
In that family, there were not only parents but also grandparents.
After giving Ryan a bath, Arya held him on the bed to sleep. Ryan nestled in Arya's arms and tugged at
her collar.
Ever since he met Ryan, he had this habit every time he slept with her.
He always liked to hold her by the collar, as if she would disappear as soon as he let go of her.
Arya looked at his face and couldn't sleep.
Xavier didn't come back all night.
Arya got up early and made soup. After breakfast, she took it to the hospital.
Zack didn't cause trouble since someone was watching here.
Seeing Arya come in, Madam Swift hurriedly came over, took Arya's hand, and pulled her to the
bedside. "Hurry up and persuade Mr. Swift. He's not well yet but he wants to go home."
"I know my own body. It's nothing serious." Mr. Swift said solemnly, "Why should I keep staying in the
hospital? It's just a waste of money."
"You're just mean with money. To be healthy is the first priority!"
Madam Swift said with a cold face that she didn't agree to Mr. Swift's discharge.
Mr. Swift and she had a good relationship, and this incident scared her a lot. Moreover, the doctor did
not recommend that he be discharged, which made her strongly disapprove of his discharge.
Arya couldn't figure out the detail, but she understood the reason and persuaded her grandfather,
"Don't worry about the money. It's on me."
Arya planned to go to the company. She had been absent for two months and didn't know what was
going on in the company.
Arya brought rib soup to Mr. Swift. "Take care of yourself and when you're totally fine, you can leave the
hospital. If you insist on discharging, it will only worry grandma."
Mr. Swift sighed. "I'm really fine. I know my own body..."
"Are you clearer than the doctor? The doctor said that you can't leave the hospital now."
Madam Swift quickly interrupted, afraid that Arya would not be able to persuade him. Madam Swift
didn't have a good rest in the hospital during this period.
"The doctor? They just like to talk seriously and scare people." Mr. Swift signaled an unflinching attitude
towards leaving the hospital. Arya thought for a moment. "I know a doctor. He's good at medicine. I'll let
him take a look at you. If he says you can leave the hospital, then we'll leave here to recuperate at
home."
"That's fine. If we go back without a complete checkup, I'm worried."
Madam Swift was afraid that Mr. Swift would refuse and took his hand. "We just listen to her. She
knows a lot."
From Arya's arrangement, Mr. Swift and Madam Swift knew that Arya had recovered her memory and
may come from a prominent family.
Otherwise, she couldn't be able to arrange for the two people outside the door.
Madam Swift held Arya's hand. "You're a good girl."
After she went back, she still didn't forget them.
Arya smiled and did not say anything. She had already thought of them as family.
Arya stayed in the hospital for a while with Mr. Swift and left.
She didn't have Edward's contact information. Xavier and Edward were close. She had to go to the
Jones Group to find Xavier.
When Arya arrived, she happened to meet Jacob who came from another place.
"Miss Harrison." Jacob greeted her.
Arya smiled back. "Jacob, what's are you busy doing outside?"
"There's been a lot of things going on at the company lately. I just went out to take care of something...
But I think you're interested too." Jacob handed the tablet to Arya, "Look at the news."
Arya was confused. She followed Jacob's finger and looked over. She could not help but frown.
"This..."
"You haven't seen anything yet." Jacob blinked at her, "Are you here to meet Xavier?"
Arya nodded. "Yes."
"Let's go. I'll go up too." Jacob said.
With Jacob leading the way, Arya was unimpeded.
Jacob was sensible. He just took her to the top floor and greeted the secretary, and then he left.
Arya knocked on the door. As soon as she raised her hand, she heard something fall on the ground.
Arya was stunned and turned to the secretary. "Is there someone inside?"
