"OK." Mr. Robinson promised repeatedly, "How about going somewhere else to have a check?"
Orlando nodded.
Arya had a dusty face and a helmet on. Orlando didn't recognize her when he saw her just now.
Arya was focused on checking Joshua's body. "Were you hurt?"
Joshua shook his head and looked at Arya. His face was covered in gray. Then he blinked with his
bright eyes. "Why are you here? Are you okay?"
Arya gave Joshua a push, and her nose was a little sore. At such a dangerous moment, Joshua could
still be so desperate to save her, which touched her heart. They were not related by blood, but the Swift
Family treated her as a family member and could use all their savings to help her out.
"Do you know how worried we were after you ran out? If something happened to you, how would they
live without you?"
Arya tugged at Joshua. Although she was blaming him, it showed her concerns for him.
Joshua was raised by his grandparents since he was young. If something really happened just now,
she wouldn't dare to think about the consequences.
In retrospect, she still had lingering fears. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"You can't do this again in the future. You can't be rash."
"But I can't watch you in danger and do nothing." Joshua grabbed his head. He didn't understand why
she was angry, so he felt a little aggrieved.
"Am I wrong to come out and make money?"
Arya was speechless. She just held his hand tightly, afraid that if she let it go, he would run away again.
"I'll find a solution."
She was an adult, so she could find a job and make money.
She couldn't let Mr. Swift sell the boat, and she couldn't let Joshua work in a place like this.
***
In the president's office of the Jones Group, it was so quiet that even a drop of a needle could be
heard.
Edward held his breath, not daring to breathe. Xavier's bone marrow didn't match Ryan's.
Xavier held the report in his hand and lowered his voice again. "Didn't you say it's more likely to find the
matched bone marrow among his relatives? Why can't I?"
"Family members have a higher matching rate, but it's not 100 %. Although you can't, maybe your
parents can, and we still have Bridget."
Speaking of Bridget, Edward was down again. He didn't know how she was.
"You can go out." Xavier closed his eyes as if he was suppressing his anger.
Edward quickly stood up. "You have to tell your family about this. Ryan's illness can't be delayed any
longer."
Edward ran out. As expected, as soon as he left, he heard the sound of smashing things in the office.
Edward patted his chest and sighed, "Fortunately, I have run out."
The office was in a mess. He didn't know how many times he lost his temper in the office.
Xavier rested his hands on the table, his slender figure bent into an arch. He could breathe only in this
way.
This month was as long as a century. He often wondered if she would suddenly appear in front of him.
But she didn't.
Her appearance became clearer and clearer in his mind.
He lowered his head and the veins on his side face stood out.
His heart ached faintly. Recently, he always had such symptoms.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open.
Daisy walked in and looked at Xavier. "What happened to you?"
Daisy was shocked. She had never seen Xavier like this before. She asked with concern, "Are you
sick?"
Xavier grabbed the last thing on the table, trying to throw it away. "Let me take a break."
He didn't know if he would die if it went on like this.
It was too torturous!
Daisy did not dare to say anything more. Xavier was obviously abnormal. She quietly bent over to clean
up the things on the ground.
After a while, that pain faded, and Xavier looked up at Daisy. "Tell me, what are you here for?"
Although he asked her, Xavier almost knew what it was.
Besides keeping an eye on him, what else could she do?
Seeing that Xavier was fine, Daisy put the things on the table and heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't
want to argue with Xavier all the time.
"Tell me the truth. Is it because you don't want to get married, or because you haven't met someone
you like?"
But Daisy thought the so-called love was ridiculous.
"Your father and I met on a blind date. It took us a month from meeting each other to getting married. In
the present term, it was a real 'flash marriage' without love. But we also have a happy marriage."
Xavier looked up. "So what?"
Before Daisy answered, Xavier continued, "Do you want me to marry a woman at random and spend
the rest of my life with her?"
Daisy's face darkened slightly. "What's wrong with that?"
Xavier sneered.
"If you want someone you like, it's okay. Just tell me who you like. Then you two can get married and
give birth to a child. Then your task is completed."
Like?
But what did 'like' mean? Who could tell it?
For most of the time, two people didn't know it at all when they met.
Just like him and Arya. They had met so early, but neither of them knew that they were on guard
against each other and hurt each other.
They set up their own defenses in their hearts.
He had kissed her many times, but it was not as thrilling, unintentional, and pure as when she
inadvertently turned around and kissed him.
Even now, he could still remember how uncontrollable his heartbeat was.
Perhaps love had been planted a long time ago, but it hadn't taken root and sprouted yet.
"Now that you want a grandson, I'll give you one."
