Daisy called out for Ryan and walked over.
Ryan looked up and said, "Grandma."
Daisy took Ryan from Xavier's arms. "Grandma bought you some clothes. Let's try them on."
"But..." Ryan held Arya's hand in a firm grip and he didn't want to leave her. "Mommy will come with us?"
Daisy explained, "Your mommy has to go out and deal with something."
Ryan looked at Arya with wide eyes, "Mommy, are you going out?"
Arya stroked his hair. "Yes, mommy has something to do."
"Then come back early. I'll wait for you tonight." Ryan held Arya's hand reluctantly.
Daisy took Ryan's hand from Arya. "Don't delay her time. Let's go home."
After a few steps forward, Daisy looked back at Nanny Joy and Arya, "I don't want Xavier to know about my coming here today. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Ok, sure." Since Arya had agreed, she wouldn't argue with her about this thing.
Then Daisy looked at Nanny Joy.
Nanny Joy glanced at Arya. It seemed that the conversation didn't go smoothly. As a servant, she could only say, "Yes, madam."
Then Daisy was satisfied and carried Ryan into the house.
Nanny Joy hesitated and did not follow her immediately. "Doesn't she want you to couple up with Mr. Jones?"
Arya shook her head. "Nothing, come in."
Nanny Joy sighed slightly, "Yes."
Although Arya didn't reply to her, she could tell from Daisy's attitude.
It was already warm in April. The sun shone on her face. It should be very comfortable. However, Arya didn't feel any warmth but chill.
She crossed her arms and wandered along the sidewalk.
At that time, she was walking halfway up the mountain alone, where almost no one would pass by. The morning light pulled her shadow into a straight line. She looked lonely.
On the main road, Arya took a taxi to the hospital.
When she reached the door of Mr. Swift's ward, she heard someone was crying.
It was Madam Swift's voice.
Although grandma had complained about Arya when Mr. Swift was beaten by Zack, she also worried and felt sorry for her when Arya was taken away by Zack.
She must be unable to escape as an unarmed girl. "Such a good girl would be ruined by that beast Zack."
Grandpa Anderson almost closed his eyes and gave a deep sigh, feeling powerless about this.
"After all, she left with Zack without hesitation simply because she didn't want to implicate us."
"I'll go find him!" Joshua sprang up from his chair.
Madam Swift quickly grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Don't cause trouble anymore."
"But..."
"What's the point of looking for her now?" It's been two days, and what we worried about might have happened.
"It's all your fault for drawing me away from there, or I would have killed that scumbag, Zack." Joshua did not understand the conversation between Mr. Swift and Madam Swift.
He just thought that Arya would be bullied if they took her away.
Arya listened quietly and felt warmth from their words. Ever since her mother died, few people cared about her or worried about her.
Arya felt she was treated as their family.
Arya sniffed and pushed the door.
"Do you think I'm so gullible? Do you think you can cheat me repeatedly? If he doesn't know you, how would he get hurt to protect you?!" Zack clearly remembered that the man had been hurt on the back when he protected her.
Now that she said he didn't know her. That's ridiculous.
Arya was stunned. 'Have Xavier get injured?'
'Because of her?'
Hearing this, Madam Swift quickly pulled Arya behind her. Then she said in a trembling voice, "We'll give you all our money."
"I don't need money." Zack was furious and pointed at his own face. "Look, I'm disfigured. Can you afford to it?"
"Well..." Madam Swift was overwhelmed. She reached into her pocket and handed him the passbook. "This is all our money. Could you let us go?"
Mr. Swift spent tens of thousands of dollars during his stay in the hospital and all the rest was here.
Zack didn't even look at it. He ignored Madam Swift and stared at Arya. "The man that day was prettier than me, but he may not have so much money like me, so it is the right choice to stay with me."
"If you stay with me, You'll not be responsible for my injury or the injuries of all these brothers here. How about that?"
Arya glanced at Madam Swift's white hair. She help Madam Swift sit down beside the bed and said to Madam Swift, "I'll handle this."
"What are you going to do with it?" Madam Swift was worried that such a girl like her could be bullied by these punks.
Zack's purpose was very clear. He didn't want money, and all he wanted was her.
Arya gave Madam Swift a reassuring look. "This is W City, not Aqua Village. He can't do whatever he wants."
"Haha... you are really ignorant." Zack laughed wildly. "Do you think our Anderson Family can monopolize the seafood market on our own?"
"Yes, there's a big backer behind the Anderson Family. Do you think you can get away with our punishments in W City?" Leo chimed in.
Arya narrowed her eyes. That made sense. The Anderson Family were just villagers of Aqua Village. It was unlikely for them to monopolize that sea area. The only explanation was that there was someone behind him.
And this man was not an ordinary person.
