Love Began with the First Meeting -
Chapter 910 Extra Story 48 Of Aaron Danger
"What..."
Ximena waved her hands unconsciously when she lost her balance. Aaron grabbed hold of her but he also slipped. He tried to steady himself, but Ximena clung on to him tightly like grasping at the last straw for her as her body fell backward... The woman's scream and the sound of rolling bodies resounded through the graveyard in a drizzle. The eerie sound added an ominous air and brought fort chills to every person that was at the graveyard at that moment. "Be quick! Be quick!"
"Watch out! It's a pregnant woman!"
Urgent calls mingled with the staff's hurried steps as they pushed the hospital bed along the corridor in the hospital. Ximena was lying in the bed, unconscious. There were many cutting wounds on her face, and her wet dress sticking to her legs was stained with blood. All of those revealed the terrible and serious accident they had encountered.
Behind the bed was Aaron whose one arm was unable to move because of a fatal injury. His stone cold face was full of the same wounds as Ximena's while his clothes were stained with blood and dirt.
He followed Ximena all the way to the operating room and stopped at the door. He repressed all of his anger and didn't say anything to the doctors, only hoping that they could perform the operation without further pressure.
"Sorry for being late, Your Highness," said Ken as he ran up to Aaron. "Your arm..."
"It's nothing serious!" With his cold eyes full of great fury, Aaron spat angrily.
Annoyed yet afraid to show his annoyance, Ken knitted his eyebrows tightly. He glanced at the closed door of the operating room, and his heart sank in disappointment. In his mind, he wondered, 'What happened in the graveyard? His Highness was planning to confess his love to Miss Mo at the manor he prepared for her, but how did things turn out like this?'
Several more people appeared at the elevator and rushed to them hurriedly. Their steps disturbed the silence in the corridor again adding more pain to Aaron's burdened heart.
Ted pushed James in his wheelchair following Aldrich and Gale, every face was with a terrible look.
"How is your injury?" Examining him from head to toe, Aldrich asked with concern when he saw Aaron's injured arm. He stretched out his shaking hand and wanted to touch him on his shoulder, but Aaron stopped him with his indifferent gaze. Looking at his dark eyes, Aldrich recalled that frightening scene on the staircase when they left the graveyard. He was almost scared to death.
"How is she now?" Trying to break the cold indifference between father and son, James asked as he stared at Aaron's face. The look in his eyes was filled with sympathy.
More vexed rather than thankful for his show of concern, Aaron looked towards him but didn't answer his question, his face retained his usual indifference.
Standing just behind James, Ted was dissatisfied with Aaron's aloof attitude and almost wanted to give him a good beating, but James raised his hand to stop him. Ted then pushed his wheelchair to the other side as James signaled.
The corridor fell into silence again. Thankful and relieved at the silence, Aaron sat at the chair and waited. No emotions could be seen from his serene look, yet his sharp gaze revealed the cruel revenge he was plotting in his mind.
"Ken," he suddenly called his aide with his icy cold voice, "go and check out who has visited the graveyard before us."
"Yes, Your Highness," Ken replied in respect but he looked at Aaron worriedly. He spared a pleading glance at Aldrich and James before turning around to leave.
With an impending look, Aaron thought to himself, 'The graveyard belongs to our family, and there are only a few people who are free to go there besides our family members. Among those, there are even fewer who know that we would visit there and go through that staircase.' Sensing that there was something odd, his eyes narrowed in concentration, and a cruel glint flashed through them as he pondered over the matter.
On the other side of the corridor, James observed the furious look on Aaron's face before controlling his wheelchair away. After a while, he returned with a doctor and a nurse pushing a cart of drugs and medicine. "Even if she would turn out to be fine or not, for sure she will be needing your comfort." James said in a faint voice, "However, do you think that you can calm her down when she sees your injury like this?" Persuaded by those words, Aaron glanced at James with annoyance and withdrew his hand which was about to push the doctor away from him. The doctor then set his fracture and bandaged his arm. Time slowly slipped by and Aaron had great patience, but he felt tortured at every passing second at that moment.
From time to time, he glanced at his watch. It was already two hours after Ximena was pushed into the operating room, but there was still no sign of the end of the operation. With each passing second, he gradually became violent as he ran out of his patience. "You will only hurt your loved ones if you can't control your emotions in front of them." Sensing his troubled mind, Aldrich reminded him in a low voice.
Frustrated even more, Aaron tightened his lips as he glared at his father, "Who do you think you are? Do you think that you are qualified enough to say those words to me?"
Surprised at his show of arrogance, Aldrich's lips twitched with anger but somehow he managed to control himself. He realized that it wouldn't work no matter what he told to Aaron at that time, so he decided not to say any other words from that time on, ignoring Aaron's challenge.
With the brewing rage from Aaron, the air was frozen in embarrassment.
Not intending to fire up the heated argument, Ted leaned his back against the wall, folding his arms and crossing his legs. He stared at Aaron without fear and wondered how a cold-blooded man like him would fall in love with Ximena.
Sitting uncomfortably in his wheelchair, James waited quietly, his heart flooding with invisible anguish. At the thought of Ximena, he felt ashamed of himself for he had refused the woman he loved in a cruel way and pushed her into the arms of another man. Nobody could really understand the pains he endured at the bottom of his heart.
Shutting the thought of his mind, he dropped his gaze and let out a silent sigh. Despite his worries about Ximena, he also felt relieved that she managed to get Aaron's love. He thought to himself, 'She will definitely live a happy life at Aaron's side. Aaron had experienced his parents' separation and grew up in loneliness, so he must cherish his love and children much more than most people do.'
No other sounds could be heard in the corridor except their heavy breathing. The only thing that they could do there was to keep waiting and praying for Ximena's survival.
Soon, it was already four hours after Ximena was sent inside the operating room.
All of a sudden, the door of the operating room was pushed open from inside.
Everyone looked towards the door expectantly with eyes full of hopes. The doctor stepped out of the room.
Not minding his injuries, Aaron quickly walked up to the doctor. He stared at him and asked in a low voice, "How is she now?"
"Miss Mo is safe now. However..." The doctor paused as he sighed deeply and looked pitifully at Aaron's wishful eyes.
"She lost the baby she was expecting."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
