My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 167

Minnie smiled upon my words, "You two should really start to learn how to take care of yourselves. With that being said, I won't be leaving you guys anytime soon. I'll stay here and take care of you since you're going to give birth soon."

As we chatted, Minnie's mood improved. She cooked some broth for me, but I didn't have much. After that, I felt a little sleepy, so I went straight to sleep.

I was woken up by the phone in the middle of the night, and I picked up the phone without checking the caller.

"Hello," I said to the phone.

"Is this Arianna Reid, wife of Mr. Hendrix Roberts?" The person on the other end of the phone sounded formal.

I looked at the time on my phone. It was already two in the morning. I wondered who would call at such a time. "Who's this on the phone?" I asked.

"Hello, Miss Reid. I'm so sorry to inform you that the flight H898, which Mr. Roberts was on board from Ucrebury to Jarold City, yesterday was involved in a flight incident. He's currently in the government hospital for emergency treatment. We need his family members to sign some papers for us to proceed with his surgery," The person over the phone replied.

I sat up from bed, and my head was buzzing. "A flight incident? How...1'

My mind went blank, and I couldn't pay attention to the phone call. I simply responded out of instinct and hung up the phone.

However, I didn't know what to do. I searched for Hendrix's contact number on my phone and called him with my trembling hands, but no one answered.

I tried calling Josiah and Austin, but none of them answered my call too. I started to wonder if it was because it was too late at night.

Then, I realized that I couldn't afford to be emotional under such circumstances.

Hence, I decided to call Andrea. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long before she picked up. She was crying over the phone, "Arianna, where are you? Hendrix... Something happened to him. Come over now!" "What happened? Where is he?" I calmed myself down and asked.

"He boarded the plane with me, b-but there was an emergency landing, and... He tried to protect me..." Andrea kept crying, "My parents are in the emergency room as well. And they need your signature for Hendrix... Arianna, this is all my fault. I promise- I promise I won't take him away from you anymore... Please! I can promise you anything if you come..."

I didn't listen to what Andrea said following that. I just hung up the phone since I already got all the information I needed.

I was in distress after the phone call. I got down from the bed and paced around the room to try to calm myself down. Then, I called Monique, but she didn't answer the phone.

I called Sawyer right after.

Surprisingly, he picked up, "Arianna, it's three o'clock now. Don't tell me you're calling because you miss ~ 11

me.

"Do you know where Madam Lawson is?" I asked. I didn't trust Andrea, so I decided to ask someone.

"I only know that she and Pedro went to send Andrea to Jarold City earlier this evening. Oh yeah, Hendrix was there too," He replied. It seemed like he was awake for the whole night, as he sounded clear. I could even hear the sound of a typing keyboard in the background.

I frowned, trying to make myself sound calm, "Did they tell you if they arrived at Jarold City safely?"

"What's the point of telling me?" he raised his voice, "I'm nobody to them."

"She is your mother! Didn't they tell you anything on this?" I had to ask Sawyer because I didn't know anyone else within the same social circle.

He slammed his laptop shut, "It has been more than twenty years since she talked to me about anything! Why did you call me at midnight? What are you trying to ask about?"

"I received a call saying that something happened to the flight. Can you help look into it?" I asked. He was the only one who could check on that at that time.

There was a moment of silence on his end before he said, "Sure, I'll look into it."
