My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1386

I did not notice that something was amiss with Hendrix while we were heading back to the villa. As I was about to head upstairs to take a shower, he sat on the sofa and said bitterly, "So, you never considered telling me, huh? Aren't you aware that this hurts my feelings?"

I was stunned for a moment. When I looked over at him, I saw him giving me a resentful look. "No, that has never been my intention," I replied. "I wanted to tell you after discussing with my parents."

He looked at me and said, "Why didn’t you tell me then?"

I was exasperated. This man was acting like a kid. "Yes, I'm going to Asherton. I did take into consideration what dad said this morning. I know it doesn't sound convincing, but I can't afford to let Anne wait any longer. So I decided to go to Asherton to find out more about organ trading. If I manage to find matching bone marrow for the transplant, we needn't keep worrying."

He pursed his lips and scowled at me. "Are you going alone?" he said.

I nodded. When I saw his disgruntled look, I could not help but ask, "Can you take a few days off work though? Or do you have a lot of work to attend to?"

He frowned and said, "I'll come along."

I wanted to decline but I held back, knowing that he would not agree. I nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go there together."

Still feeling a little sleepy, I then went upstairs to take a shower, just as Hendrix happened to receive an incoming call.

I had wanted to meet up with Wendy before heading to Asherton, but to my surprise, Hendrix woke me up early the next morning for he had booked the air tickets.

Winter was the best time to sleep. I was half-awake as I sat on the bed. I could hear him talking about the things to bring for our trip to Asherton, but I was miles away as I listened. I waited for him to pack up. When he saw my sleepiness, he leaned closer to me and asked, "Shall I carry you to the bathroom then?"

Still feeling drowsy, I opened my eyes and stared at him. Bewildered, I asked, "Why are we going to the bathroom though?"

He could not help laughing. "Aren't you supposed to freshen up before going out?" he said. "You can'

t go out looking unkempt, can you?"

I nodded and said sleepily, "Alright, freshen up." As I got out of my bed, he carried me to the bathroom. I leaned on his shoulder and let out a few yawns.

I said, "Why the hurry though? I intend to go in a few days. I've actually planned a get-together with Wendy. It surprises me that you want to head over to Asherton so abruptly. I have yet to inform her of this change."

Since I was still feeling drowsy, he had no choice but to wash my face for me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the warm water on my face. At this moment, I was feeling a little awake. He set me down on the counter. Then, he squeezed a dollop of toothpaste on my toothbrush and said, "Well you can arrange to meet her another day. If we’re able to find a matching bone marrow, isn't it better if the transplant can be performed as soon as possible?"

I nodded. He handed me the toothbrush. My drowsiness had subsided at this point. "Yeah, you' re right," I said. I got up and leaned over the sink to brush my teeth. He then brushed my hair with a wooden comb. I felt a little uncomfortable and snorted a few times. "I'll do it myself later," I said.
