Aiden Finnegan's Medical Odyssey novel Chapter 17

After Aiden glanced at Angelina, he grabbed his coat and walked out of the room.

As she watched him leave, tears uncontrollably flowed down her face. What's wrong with me? Why did I snap at Aiden so horribly? Why have I spoken such heartbreaking words?

Although Angelina and Aiden shared no affection, they had spent the past three years living together, and never had she treated him in such a way. Nevertheless, as prideful as she was, she refused to go after him and decided that she would explain herself to him when he returned.

When Linda heard the commotion upstairs, she hadn't even had the time to figure out what the fuss was all about when she saw Aiden storming downstairs and out of the house with an icy expression. Unfortunately, the moment she realized what happened, Aiden was already out of the door, so she could only grumble, "Now that you've learned to leave, I dare you not to come back again!"

After Aiden left the stifling household, he came to a riverbank. As he stood still by the river, he peered at the tranquil waters of the river. There was no breeze tonight, and the river's surface resembled a mirror that would instill serenity within hearts.

"Am I in love with her?" Aiden smiled bitterly. "Why am I so pissed off when she mentioned Ray's name?"

"Ah!"

As he was immersed in his thoughts, a woman's scream suddenly pierced through the silent night. He instinctively turned to the source of the noise, only to see a woman in a rather provocative outfit shouting on the riverbank and drawing the passersby's attention.

Once the woman let out a yell, she turned around. However, as soon as she saw Aiden, her face was filled with joy, after which she rushed toward him and pleasantly exclaimed, "It's you!"

When Aiden took a good look at the woman, he recalled that this was the woman in the hospital that day. If he wasn't mistaken, she said that she was Gina. Thus, he reciprocated with a smile of his own. "It's you!"

"Why did you leave so frantically that day? I didn't even get to know your name. There's not a scar in sight, I hope?" Gina inquired.

Aiden shook his head before he answered, "Nope. Something urgent came up back then, so I had to leave immediately. My name's Aiden."

"Why are you alone?" Gina tilted her head curiously.

He let out a somewhat dejected chuckle before replying, "I was driven out by my wife."

"You're married?" Gina was clearly surprised to hear that. "Who would've thought?" With that, she realized how flirtatious she sounded and hastily added, "What I mean to say is that you look no older than me, yet you're already married!"

"Haha!" Aiden laughed. "What about you? Why did you come to the river and make such a fuss?"

"Sigh… Something irritating happened back at home, so I came here to vent my anger," Gina uttered after heaving an annoyed sigh. Suddenly, she raised her head and blinked her eyes as she suggested playfully, "Wanna have some fun with big sis?"

"Big sis? How old are you, even?" Aiden retorted in amusement.

"Older than you, that's for sure!" She chortled. "Come, let's go clubbing!" With that, she grabbed Aiden's hand and dragged him away from the riverbank.

When they arrived at their destination, Aiden stared at Gina's car and shook his head in astonishment. She's a rich woman as well!?

When she saw that he was still in a daze, she urged, "Well? Get in!"

"Lamborghini Veneno! Priced at twenty-five million, it has a maximum power output of 552 kilowatts per hour—740 horsepower! Its acceleration from zero to a hundred miles per hour takes only 2.8 seconds, while its designed maximum speed is 354 miles per hour! This fiery red one suits you very well!" Aiden complimented with an awed sigh.

"Little brat, you sure know your cars, huh!" Gina snorted. "It's a birthday present from my grandpa. That's neither here nor there. Just get in here!"

After they got into the car, she immediately stomped on the gas pedal. The Lamborghini Veneno let out a blaring roar before speeding away like an arrow through the fields, and the thundering boom drew envious gazes from the passersby.

During their impromptu journey, Aiden learned that Gina was the precious pearl of the Harper Family, one of the most elite families in Keyland. She was three years older than him. Earlier, she expressed the idea of demoting the family members and relatives who possessed high ranks in the company but had no contributions to their names to the backline of the company. Her family was enraged by the idea and eventually got into a heated quarrel with her.

Eventually, a frustrated Gina went to the riverbank to alleviate her anger and coincidentally bumped into Aiden, who shared the same feelings as her.
