Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 899

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

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."
