Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 899 Extra Story 43 Of Aaron Aldrich In Critical Condition

the butler had just said to him about Aldrich, although Aldrich was his biological father.

All of a sudden, Aaron's hands froze and the spoon and fork perched limply as they held them firmly. However, after a few seconds, he reached for his wine glass, emptied the wine with one gulp and continued with his meal. It was as if he had entirely no interest with what Confused, Ximena looked at Aaron, then at the butler and asked earnestly, "What do you mean?"

When the butler had a look at Aaron and saw that he hadn't paid attention to his words or showed any sign of preventing him from talking, he turned towards Ximena and said, "He had an abnormal heart attack and was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. According to the news from the hospital, since a compatible heart donor for him has not been found yet...," after looking at Aaron, he continued. "So, he is in a dangerous condition now. The doctors estimated that he could not make it after tonight."

"Oh, I see..." Ximena responded at random and did not feel surprised or even sympathized with Aldrich, the old master of the Leng Family as well as the father of Aaron. As Aaron's mind was racing, and the butler heaved a sigh stealthily, she asked abruptly, "Well, That... I don't know if my heart is compatible with him?"

Just at the very moment, Aaron shot a cold glance at her, as cold as ice blade and asked her in a dark and heavy tone, "What? You want to die so desperately?"

"Well, I am not that scared of death," Ximena replied, shrugging her shoulders, wearing an innocent face. "After all, no one can escape from it." She raised a glass of orange juice and took a sip of it. "The man who is about to die will finally end his pain after his death, yet the ones that are still living are the ones who are truly sad for they have to endure as long as they live." Putting down the glass, she looked at Aaron, who was wearing a cloudy face, raised the corners of her red lips and gave him a light smile, full of self-mockery. "But in my case, I am an exception. If I'll be dead, nobody would feel sad for me." Giving a shrug, she continued to eat the food on her plate, not looking at Aaron or the butler.

Hearing her self-pity, the butler's eyes widened, as he felt a little surprised that Ximena dared to say such words in an impudent tone. She was so bold even though she clearly knew the fact that His Highness was not entirely indifferent to her. Nobody ever dared to say such things in front of him like that before. Even worse, her tone was full of obvious insinuation towards His Highness.

Vexed at Ximena's remarks, Aaron gazed at her. His sharp eyes were glued on her, yet with angry flames in them, indicating obviously that he was about to burst out with anger at any time. But, Ximena completely ignored him and just kept on eating.

Munching her food and sipping some orange juice from time to time, Ximena enjoyed her food. After swallowing the last bit in her mouth, Ximena said indifferently, "I'm full." Struggling to get up, she felt a sore strain in her waist and grimaced because of the sharp pain. Just within her reach, Aaron was looking at her coldly, gathering a great deal of effort to suppress the strong urge to help her. 'Who do you think you are? How dare you to say like...' he thought silently. "Ah-"

His thoughts were interrupted by a loud scream. Without a second thought, he immediately held Ximena's hands gently, with a face full of concern.

With her pale face and curled lips, Ximena looked at him and said painfully, "It hurts so much. Take me to the hospital now."

Looking at her agony, Aaron lifted her up in his arms without thinking and hurried out of the house. On the other side, the butler had called Ken, and when Aaron got to the car, so did Ken.

As the car drove fast to the hospital, Ximena was lying on Aaron's leg, and due to the stinging pain in her waist, cold sweats kept on oozing from her forehead.

Gritting her lip tightly, Ximena told herself that if the child in her belly could be saved this time, no matter how hard it was, she would keep the child; if the child couldn't be saved... she closed her eyes and dared not to think more about it.

Arriving at the hospital, Aaron was acting like the emperor of QY Island with the supreme ruling power. He ordered the nurses to attend to Ximena as soon as possible. When the doctor saw that the patient was brought by him, he was so anxious that he gathered almost all the attending doctors to treat for Ximena.

Looking at the examination room where Ximena was rushed into, Aaron shot a cold glance at the doctor in charge near him and said in a solemn and chilly tone, "Try not to use potent medicines. She's pregnant for nearly a month. I do not want to endanger the child's life as well as hers. Do you understand?"

In a moment, with a lurch in his heart, the doctor nodded and walked inside the examination room.

Luckily, after the examination, the doctor found out that Ximena's waist was not that seriously injured. She felt a searing pain only because she got up too fast and strained the sore point of her waist. In order to treat her injury, the doctor recommends her to stay in the hospital. In that way, it would be convenient for the doctors to check on her at any time.

Aaron nodded without saying anything, but Ximena was restless now. For one thing, she had the pain in her waist, and for the other thing, she was so worried about the little baby in her belly.

"Damn!" Ximena burst out the four-letter word as the smell of disinfectant fluid filled the empty ward. She had a light sigh and murmured to herself, 'Aaron, I am stupid enough to ask for that trouble.' The more she thought about what she has done, the more she was angry with herself. She snorted to herself, 'What does it matter to me if Aldrich is dying? It's not a big difference for me! James has no damn relationship with me anymore. Why should I think for him? And you, you stupid Aaron... Obviously, you are worried about your father Aldrich deep in your heart. But you still pretend you don't give a damn care about him. Why? You fool...'

Furious with her situation, Ximena held her waist gently.

'I had wanted to pretend that I had a strain in my waist, so Aaron would not burst out his anger at me. But who knew I'd really have a strain as soon as I got up? Wow, I'm in great trouble now! I have wished to give me and the baby a chance. But now? Look at all this mess! I regret what I have done. So regretful!

What if Aaron found out that I'm pregnant? What if the doctor used any medicine on me, which has a bad effect on the baby?"

With these complicated thoughts in her mind, Ximena couldn't help but think of her situation in the examination room...

"Well, doctor," Hesitantly Ximena said, looking painfully at the doctor who just came in, "Well, that... can you not use any medicine for me?" Looking at the doctor's weird expression, she cooked up an explanation calmly, "I'd like to have a baby lately. I don't know if I am pregnant now. I haven't checked it yet. So..."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
