My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 226

Still in shock, I asked, "Did anyone else get hurt?"

"The other driver was dead on the spot," Hendrix looked extremely sullen as he spoke, "But don't you worry about anything. I've asked Evan to handle that."

I sat on the seat, and my hands were still trembling. Austin glanced at me and mocked, "You're afraid now? Arianna, I guess you're just a scaredy-cat."

"Austin, enough!" Hendrix snapped at him angrily.

Austin shut his mouth and gave me a death glare.

Andrea came running in her high heels, panting heavily and looking anxious, "I just got the news. How is Josiah?"

Austin gently patted her shoulder as he comforted her.

After catching the sight of Hendrix and I sitting together at the bench, Andrea's face darkened, and she walked away to stand aside quietly.

Not long after, Monique was ready to be transferred to the ward. Hendrix went to settle Monique's admission procedure as he didn't want me to move around too much.

I followed the doctor into the ward Monique was staying in. She was still asleep from the anesthetic, which would take another half an hour for her to be awake. While waiting, I made a phone call to Ian and stayed by her side.

With her arms crossed, Andrea stood by the door and watched me with a pair of shallow eyes, "Looks like you and Hendrix are quite happy together."

I peeked at her for a second. As I didn't really want to talk to her, I casually replied, "Thank you for your attention to our relationship, Miss Burton. We'll get better for sure, and hopefully, we won't disappoint you."

"You —" Andrea's expression turned ugly. "Arianna, Hendrix is mine. Don't think that you've won him over by trapping him with a child. If I wanted to have him back, you wouldn't even stand a chance!"
