Chapter 148
Madam Swift patted Mr. Swift's hand. "Joshua is demented, but he's a young man, after all. When he
sees a beautiful girl, he naturally likes her."
Mr. Swift glared at Madam Swift. "Don't instill such thoughts into Joshua."
Madam Swift snorted. "I didn't instill it into him. Didn't you see his behavior just now?"
At this moment, Joshua ran out of the room and grabbed Madam Swift's hand. "Grandma, go and take
a look. That pretty woman just moved."
Joshua was very excited.
"Really?" Madam Swift didn't believe it and hurried into the room. However, the girl was still asleep.
Madam Swift slapped her grandson. "Your grandpa said you were bewitched. He's right. She's still
unconscious."
Joshua looked at Arya's fingers carefully. 'I clearly saw her move just now. Was I dazzled?'
He shook his head affirmatively. "No, she indeed moved her fingers just now."
Madam Swift didn't bother to argue with him. She pulled him out and said, "Let's go eat now."
"Grandma, she really moved," Joshua said with certainty to persuade her.
Madam Swift was afraid that he would not stop, so she nodded perfunctorily. "Yes, she moved, okay?"
Only then was Joshua satisfied.
"Grandma, when will she wake up?" Joshua blinked.
Madam Swift said impatiently, "How would I know? I'm not a doctor."
Joshua pouted. "Then let's call another doctor."
"Didn't we call the doctor last time? He said she was in a coma because of the lack of oxygen for too
long."
"But why doesn't she wake up? That doctor is not good enough. Let's find another one…"
Madam Swift scolded, "Eat first. Don't talk nonsense!"
The doctor was famous for his good medical skills in the village. If the doctor heard Joshua's words, he
would think they did not trust his medical skills.
Joshua was unhappy. "Grandma, will she wake up?"
"Yes, she will." Madam Swift comforted her grandson.

"I want to live at my house." When Xavier returned to the villa, Ryan said this to him, because he was
not used to living in the villa.
"Why? Isn't it good here?" Xavier asked.
Ryan shook his head. "I'm afraid Mom doesn't know I'm here. She won't be able to find me when she
comes back."
Ryan lowered his head, pinched his fingers, and added in a low voice, "There's no smell of Mom here."
He liked the house he used to live in. Although it was small, there were traces of him living with Mom.
This villa was less warm than his house.
Afraid that Xavier would refuse, Ryan ran over, hugged Xavier's legs, and blinked his big, adorable
eyes. "Is it okay? Let's all go back with Nanny Joy."
Xavier squatted down and looked straight at him. Ryan leaned over his ear. "Mommy's not there. We
can sleep in her bed. There's her scent on it…"
Xavier's expression changed. 'This child…'
But this really attracted Xavier.
But he couldn't do that.
He and Arya had lived in this villa for a long time, just like a couple then…
Thinking of what had happened before, Xavier felt heartbroken.
He missed her so much…
Xavier reached out and rubbed Ryan's hair. "There's also a bed where your mommy slept."
Ryan widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "She also hugged you when sleeping?"
Xavier was stunned for a while.
He then pinched Ryan's face. "No."
Ryan was even more confused.
"Then why did she share a bed with you?"
Xavier picked Ryan up and sat on the sofa in the living room. After a moment of silence, he said,
"Because she has short arms and can't hug me. I hug her."
Ryan was more confused. He thought about it seriously, stretched out his arms and looked at them.
"Mommy's arms are not short. She can hold me tightly…"
Ryan didn't understand why Xavier said his mom had short arms.
When Nanny Joy asked them to eat, Ryan came down from Xavier's arms and ran towards Nanny Joy.
He took her arm and looked at it. He muttered, "Mommy's arms are much longer than yours. They're
not short."
Nanny Joy was confused. "What are you talking about? Wash your hands and eat."
Ryan pouted and looked at Xavier. "You lied to me."
Xavier came over, helped him wash his hands and said, "I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, take
a look when she comes back."
Ryan nodded.
He completely forgot to persuade Xavier to go back with him.
Early the next morning, Xavier entered his company, holding Ryan in his hand. A man was standing at
the front desk arguing with the receptionist. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Seeing Xavier coming over, the receptionist said quickly, "Our boss is here…"
Orlando turned around and saw Xavier come in. He quickly walked towards Xavier. Arya disappeared.
He had no idea what was going on with her, and something happened to the company's project in the
Clearwater Bay.
He urgently needed to know what was going on with Arya.
Seeing that it was Orlando, Xavier did not change his expression and said calmly, "Come with me."
Ryan greeted warmly, " Orlando."
Arya had taken Ryan to her company before, so Ryan was very familiar with Orlando.
Orlando was about to reach out and touch Ryan's head, but Xavier stopped him, "Don't touch him."
He didn't like others touching Ryan's head.
Orlando awkwardly withdrew his hand and touched his nose. "I'm used to it."
"Then change it!"
After saying that, Xavier led Ryan to the elevator.
Orlando stood there and curled his lips at Xavier. 'This man is the so-called overbearing bigwig? Is a
person like him so arrogant?'
Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Orlando quickly walked over and got into the elevator.
Xavier glanced at him. "You didn't go to Jacob?"
"Yes, did anything happen to Miss Harrison?" When Orlando asked this question, he was very careful.
Even so, Xavier's expression changed.
He said in a cold tone, "She's fine!"
He didn't like to hear this question because he didn't know how to answer it.
He didn't want to say that Arya had an accident and that he didn't know whether she was alive or not.
At this moment, the elevator stopped. Xavier bent over to pick up Ryan and said as he walked, "What
happened?"
Orlando was trusted by Arya, so Xavier was willing to trust him. Arya was missing, and he would take
care of everything for her.
"There is something wrong with the case in the Clearwater Bay. Not long after the project started, a
problem occurred. I went to the construction site to check it out. That's true…"
He found the mastermind behind this accident…
