Chapter 264
Chapter 264
Although Bridget had already trusted Arya to some extent, she really wanted to know about their
relationship.
So after Jasper entered the ward, Bridget eavesdropped outside.
She didn't expect Arya could speak for her.
But when she heard what Jasper said, her heart sank again.
If she still had some fantasies about him before, then it would end at this moment.
She cheered herself up and opened the door of the ward as if nothing had happened.
Bridget walked in. When Arya saw her come in, she got up from the chair and helped her take the
things and put them on the table.
"Arya, you have to eat something. You're not eating for yourself now." Bridget tried to persuade her.
Arya paused and nodded.
Even if she did not care for herself, she had to think about the child in her body.
Bridget looked at Arya quietly. She didn't know her well before, and she could not find anything
unbearable Arya had done.
"Arya..." Bridget hesitated.
"What do you want to say?"
Arya looked up and asked.
"Nothing. I just want to tell you that I will have a checkup later." When she came back, she met Ryan's
attending doctor, he said he had arranged everything for her. She could have a checkup today.
Arya suddenly became serious, "Bridget..."
"You don't have to thank me. We are family. I have to go now." Arya was too polite, which made her feel
uncomfortable.
Arya watched Bridget leave the room. She didn't follow her as she could tell that Bridget was
embarrassed.
In the Old Residence.
Daisy and Henry were not in a good mood for what happened to Ryan.
Daisy didn't eat breakfast and went back to her room. Henry wanted to comfort her, but Daisy did not
want him to. He could just turn to the study. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Harriet had been expecting to kick Arya out of the Jones Family. As they began to accept Arya more,
Harriet became more anxious. So when she saw Henry go to the study alone, she felt that she could
now take action.
Henry didn't eat until noon. She prepared some food and brought it into the study.
Harriet had food in one hand and knocked on the door with the other. Only when Henry permitted could
she open the door.
Henry looked at her and said, "You don't have to do this."
"I treat all of you as my own family. I saw that you didn't have lunch, so I cook something for you." After
saying that, Harriet put the food on the desk and say to him, "How about eating something? It won't
taste good if it's cold."
He felt that Harriet was very sensible, so he put down the military book in his hand.
"Ryan was born outside. Now he's sick, and we are all worried."
Why did he dislike Arya so much?
It could be alright if Harriet didn't mention it. When she mentioned it, Henry remembered that Arya had
been in prison, and Ryan also had such a disease because of her. His face couldn't help but darken.
Seeing his darkened face, Harriet was happy.
"Don't say these things to me anymore." He didn't want to hear it which could upset him.
"Sorry." Harriet quickly apologized. "I won't say it again."
Henry sighed slightly. It wasn't her fault either.
"I have something to tell you." Harriet bit her lip and said in a hesitant voice.
He didn't think much and waved his hand. "Go ahead."
Harriet pursed her lips, saying, "It's about Arya... I..."
"Just say it." Henry said impatiently. He didn't like people talking that way. He preferred them to be
straightforward.
Harriet made him really curious and said, "You know my relationship with Arya When she was in the
Harrison Family before, she had been living an indecent life. I saw her bring a man home... Ryan may
not be Xavier's son. It wouldn't be very difficult if she tampered with the paternity test..." Harriet stopped
as she had said everything she needed to say, "I... I might have said too much..."
Henry's face darkened completely.
He didn't like Arya. And after hearing that, he hated her even more.
Because he knew that Arya had been in prison, he never believed her to be good, and Ryan was
indeed born before their marriage, as she lived outside for so many years...
"Don't care about what I said."
"You could leave now."
Now he wanted to be quiet and didn't want to talk to anyone.
Seeing that Henry bore that in mind, Harriet nodded obediently. "Don't think too much. Call me if you
need anything."
"OK." Henry waved his hand impatiently. He couldn't eat what she brought in, so he pointed at the food
on the table, "Take it away."
Harriet did not persuade him of his bad mood. She left the study with the food and closed the door.
Daisy happened to come down from upstairs. When she saw Harriet with food, she frowned slightly.
Harriet was a little guilty but soon covered up her awkwardness. She looked at Daisy and said with a
smile, "I am thinking to bring you some food, and you now come down."
Daisy glanced at the kitchen. 'Where is the food?'
Daisy asked, "What are you going to take to me?"
Harriet stood there awkwardly. She really didn't prepare anything for Daisy. When she gave Henry the
food, she just intended to deliberately say bad things about Arya, which could make him hate Arya. She
completely forgot about Daisy.
"Relax. After all, you're a guest. How can you do this? Leave it to the servants." Daisy entered the
living room. "Nanny May, prepare some food for me. I'll take it to the hospital."
Bridget was alone with a pregnant and patient. She was worried and had to go to see them.
Harriet wanted to explain, "Daisy, I..."
"You do not have to explain. I told you, you don't have to do this. There are servants at home who will
do it." Daisy interrupted her for her explanation was just so pretentious. Harriet didn't prepare anything
in the kitchen or didn't intend to. Was there any need for her to cover it up?
Why didn't she realize that Harriet was so scheming before?
"What's wrong?" Henry came out of the study. He asked as he saw Daisy's darkened face.
Daisy glanced at Harriet and was reluctant to say anything more.
"Everything is fine. I'll take the bowl to the kitchen first." Harriet lowered her head slightly and left the
living room.
Henry didn't intend to enquire into it. Daisy didn't like Harriet now. He knew it very well.
"I'll go to the hospital at noon and come back at night," Daisy said.
She always informed Henry when she went to the hospital.
Henry nodded slightly with his hands behind his back. Daisy asked Nanny May to pack all the food.
She took it and went out. When Daisy walked to the door, Henry stopped her.
"What?" Daisy turned around and asked.
He originally wanted to ask about Ryan, but he didn't. He waved at her to show that he had nothing to
say and turned to go upstairs.
Daisy raised her eyebrows. She could tell that Henry had something to ask but he didn't. Anyway, he
would say it when he wanted to.
She left home with the food and let the driver drive to the hospital.
In the hospital.
Ryan was still unconscious, and Arya was taking care of him in the ward.
When Bridget came back from the check-up, she was stopped when she passed by the inpatient
department.
"Are you Bridget?"
Bridget stopped and saw Madam Clinton standing there.
Seeing that it was really Bridget, she walked towards her quickly and said excitedly, "I thought I was
wrong. I didn't expect to see you."
The old lady walked to Bridget, then grabbed her hand, looked at her, and sighed. "You've become
thinner."
If those things hadn't happened, now that her grandson was almost born, she felt especially regretful at
the thought of it.
Bridget just smiled and said nothing.
"Are you blaming Jasper?" As Bridget did not answer, the old lady knew that her coldness was from
what happened back then.
She remembered how enthusiastic Bridget was to her.
"It was all Jasper's fault..."
"That's all past." Bridget interrupted the old lady.
As it had passed, nothing would change. There was no need to know if it was right or wrong.
Now that she had tried to let go, she didn't want to talk about the past.
The old lady nodded. It was obvious that Bridget didn't want to mention it. She took her hand and
asked, "Shall we go for a walk in the garden?"
Bridget wanted to refuse, so there was no need to remain her politeness as she had broken up with
Jasper.
"Why, because you two broke up, you now don't even want to talk to me?"
Bridget shook her head helplessly and let the old lady hold her hand.
In the garden, the old lady let Bridget sit on the bench.
Jasper had been unwilling to get married ever since his divorce. She had been worried about Jasper,
but he did not want to talk about it.
Now that Bridget was back, was it possible for them?
The old lady patted Bridget's hand. "Bridget, will you two get back together?"
