Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 217

After settling the matter with Edward, Xavier went to the hospital.

Bridget was in a coma after being injected with a sedative.

Daisy stayed by her, feeling ill at ease. Seeing Xavier come in, she asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Xavier walked to the window and looked back at Bridget, "Something's wrong with her mind."

Xavier didn't say it in detail to less worry her.

Xavier leaned against the window, lit a cigarette, and said after a while, "I've initiated divorce

proceedings for her."

Daisy was stunned, "Divorce?"

Hearing his words, Daisy couldn't come back to her senses for a moment.

"Are you in such a hurry? I think Bridget..."

"Are you sure?" Xavier sneered. "Isn't it enough now? Do you want her to go crazy?"

Daisy rubbed her forehead in distress.

It was not long after they got married and Bridget had a miscarriage. Daisy was afraid that she would

not be able to accept it.

"Can you slow down?" Daisy knew that staying with Jasper was not a good choice.

But Bridget wouldn't be able to accept it.

Xavier took a pull on his cigarette. "I've settled it. Edward will take her abroad for treatment."

Daisy nodded, "Okay."

She couldn't think of a good solution. Maybe it was better for a change to her.

But she was frustrated at the thought that Bridget went through miscarriage and divorce soon after they

got married.

"Maybe it's better for her to get some fresh air." Daisy glanced at Bridget, who had lost a lot of weight in Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

the past few days.

"She's your sister..." Daisy was worried that Xavier and Bridget grew apart because of this.

She sided with Bridget.

Xavier remained in silence, smoking.

It took him a long time to say, "I hope you can treat her better."

"I know."

Daisy knew that Bridget was way irrational.

So she was willing to try to accept it, or even treat her better.

After learning the lesson from the example of Bridget, she wanted Arya to be happy, despite that Arya

was not her first choice daughter-in-law. But as it was done, she could only accept it.

Arya took Ryan back to Aqua Village.

She brought a lot of things, some for Madam Swift and some for Joshua.

Madam Swift and Joshua were overjoyed, "Thanks, why are you bringing this stuff?"

Arya smiled. "It's no big deal. Many things are not available here."

So she went to the mall on her way here.

"Stay here as long as you want."

Madam Swift held Arya's hand. She had few families particularly after the death of Mr. Swift.

Arya said, "I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

"Then I wish you would stay here and disturb me," Madam Swift said with a smile.

Life passed quickly. A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Arya gradually calmed down.

In the morning, Ryan insisted on taking the boat. Joshua took the boat out to sea, not far away. Ryan

stood on the splinter and looked down at the splashing water. He shouted excitedly, "Mommy, we're

going out to sea."

Madam Swift sat on a small stool on the splint, where Mr. Swift used to sit. A sullen look shaded her

face as if she thought of Mr. Swift again. Arya walked up to her and squatted down. "We're there with

you."

Madam Swift wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled. "You're right."

She thought it might be fate.

Ryan ran over here. Madam Swift reminded, afraid that he would fall, "Slow down."

He didn't seem to hear it and threw himself into Madam Swift's arms. "Have you ever seen a pirate?"

he asked.

Madam Swift stroked Ryan's little face and said, "There won't be pirates here."

"Then why is there a pirate ship?"

Ryan was confused.

Arya carried Ryan over. "You're too young to understand it."

Ryan pouted, "Never mind. I'll go play with Joshua."

Arya was amused, seeing that Ryan had worn Joshua down.

Joshua was patient with him.

After a while, Joshua docked the boat and Arya carried Ryan out of the boat.

Arya cooked dinner. Ryan wanted steamed yellow croaker. He kept it in mind when Madam Swift

cooked it for him last time.

When Arya washed the fish, the fishy smell made her feel a great rush of sickness. Arya put down the

fish and ran out to vomit, but she had difficulty throwing it up.

Madam Swift handed her a glass of water. "Are you okay?"

Arya shook her head, "I just want to throw up."

Madam Swift, who had gone through a lot, realized something and asked, "Is your period late?"

"What?" Arya did not react for a moment.

She didn't think about that, because she never threw up when she was pregnant with Ryan.

"You might be pregnant..."

Madam Swift wasn't sure, thinking that the doctor said it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

Arya realized her period was indeed late after thinking for a while.

Inexplicably, she became melancholy.

Given her current relationship with Xavier, she didn't think getting pregnant would do better.

"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow." Madam Swift smiled and took the glass from her hand. "I'll cook.

Have a good rest."

Arya sat down on the stool.

She looked away absent-mindedly.

A cell phone rang, completely bringing her thoughts back. She took out her phone and saw Xavier's

name on it.

Xavier called her every day since she came here for a week. He wanted to hear her voice.

Arya's eyes fell on the number, and she was at a loss what to say to him. After a while, she pressed the

answer button.

Soon his voice came, "Why does it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Arya said, pursing her lips, "Well, my phone wasn't around just now."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Xavier stood in front of the french window of the office. The red sunset lengthened his shadow...

He didn't inquire after her well-being like he usually did.

Arya didn't ask him if he had settled the matter. She didn't mention anything about Bridget, thinking that

he wouldn't have said that if he hadn't.

She answered an okay in a flat tone.

...

Both of them were silent, and neither of them hung up the phone. It was so quiet that they could hear

each other breathing.

"Xavier," Arya called.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Arya decided not to tell him about her pregnancy as she wasn't sure yet. "Well, it's nothing. Let's talk

about it when you come."

"Well, I might come in the afternoon." He had to drive Bridget and Edward to the airport in the morning

before he could pick her up at Aqua Village.

"I'll wait for you."

Madam Swift's voice of calling her for dinner came to Xavier's ear. He then hung up the phone

reluctantly after telling her to eat well.

Madam Swift made her a light porridge lest that she should have the urge of throwing up.

A wave of warmness surged over Arya as she looked at the porridge that Madam Swift had specially

prepared for her on the table. She wasn't even fed well when she was pregnant with Ryan.

Inexplicably, she felt the urge of crying.

"Mommy, why aren't you eating?"

Ryan looked up at Arya.
