Chapter 1180
Upon hearing these words, Shawn displayed a subtle surprise. Why would Miss Pierre be linked to Zayden? Could it be due to this particular incident?
At that moment, Holden’s memory stirred, recalling the incident when Adele had indulged in cakes only to regurgitate it. He inquired, “How is Adele faring today?”
“Adele is doing quite well; everything appears normal. However, strangely, she has spent the entire day tethered to the phone, forsaking all else, even her meals,” Shawn replied.
Upon this revelation, Holden’s thoughts drifted to the previous night when Adele had phoned Ariana. His heart softened, and he surmised that Adele must be yearning for Ariana’s presence.
After careful consideration, he suggested, “Perhaps you should consider taking Adele to the hospital to visit Ariana.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Actually, during this period, you could delegate your work to Devin. You will assume the role of caring for Adele and can bring her to the office during the day.”
“Okay.” With that, Shawn departed.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rodney and Judy arrived to pay Ariana a visit.
As Rodney entered the room, his gaze fell upon Melon engrossed in playing with toys on the floor. Spotting Rodney, the child exclaimed joyfully, “Mr. Chadwick!”
Rodney grinned and responded, “Hello! He stooped down to Lift Melon into his arms.
Judy, on the other hand, presented a freshly prepared, nourishing soup for Ariana.
Observing Ariana’s injured hand and Melon’s solitary state, Rodney contemplated for a moment and proposed, “Perhaps it’s not the best time for Melon to be in the hospital. How about allowing me to look after him for a while?”
“What?” Ariana felt a twinge of embarrassment at the suggestion, shaking her head repeatedly.
“Oh no, that would be too much trouble. How can I burden you? Besides, I’ll be discharged from the hospital in a few days.”

Unexpectedly, Rodney’s demeanor shifted, adopting a solemn expression. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“No, it won’t suffice,” he declared, his voice carrying an air of gravity.
“Hospitals are breeding grounds for germs, hardly suitable for children on an extended stay. Furthermore, Mitchel finds himself entangled in crucial surgical matters at present, rendering him unavailable. Were it not for this, I would have enlisted his assistance for your child.”
Ariana’s discomfort grew upon hearing these words.
She had already imposed upon Mitchel enough, a practice she usually reserved for dire circumstances. Now, the thought of burdening him further by requesting aid in caring for the child weighed heavily on her.
Judy joined the conversation, her tone gentle and reassuring.
“Fret not, Melon shall return with us,” she assured Ariana.
“With me by his side, the child will not be alone. Moreover, protracted hospital stays are inadvisable for both you and the child. We shall tend to Melon for you.”
With the combined persuasions of Rodney and Judy, Ariana turned her gaze toward Melon, inquiring softly, “Melon, would you Like to accompany Mr. Chadwick?”
“I’d love to, but if I go with him, who will be with Mommy?” Melon blinked and asked.
