Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 931

Aaron didn't return to the manor until the sky was turning bright in the east and the dawn came. Before then, he had attempted to leave the hospital for several times, but every time, he had been stopped by the unconscious mumblings of Zoey from her sleep, "Mom... Mom..." Due to the pain from her ankle, Zoey hadn't been able to sleep peacefully all night. Her mother had passed away when she was little, and as a result, a huge hole had been left on her heart, even though she had always been unwilling to admit that.

Aaron leaned against his car and closed his eyes in order to rest his mind. The words that Zoey had uttered in her sleep kept dwelling in his mind, and he could not ignore them, no matter how hard he tried. Despite the intensity of his dislike for her, the fact that she was his sister could never be erased.

When he arrived at the manor, Aaron got off the car and walked back to the bedroom in silent and steady steps. As soon as he opened the door and entered the room, he felt the weird atmosphere in the air and it overwhelmed his senses. Chalking this up to his imagination, he strode directly towards the bed. What welcomed him was Ximena's abnormally blushed face. Her eyes, nose and mouth twisted in an agonized expression. Clearly, she was in pain.

When Aaron saw that, his blood quickly ran cold and his face was drained of color. Without hesitating, he bent to touch Ximena's head. 'Something is definitely wrong, ' Aaron thought, his heart beating fast. Ximena was burning up.

Without thinking, Aaron immediately wrapped her with a quilt and carried her in his arms. He held her tightly, as if she was going to evaporate any second. With his breath becoming more labored as the seconds passed, he went downstairs quickly.

Hearing his hurried footsteps and seeing what he was doing, all the servants stopped what they were doing and looked at him in confusion. They could not figure out what had happened.

"She must have had a fever for some time now! You idiots! How come none of you noticed that! Why are you useless pieces of crap working here? You all are no help! You're all fired!" Aaron said in a cold, commanding tone as he passed the living room. His outburst left all the servants in a daze, still confused, but now scared out of their wits. Like a gust of wind, Aaron was out of the house.

He put Ximena into the car. At the same time, Ken arrived and started the car as soon as he could, speeding to the hospital. Soon, they reached the hospital.

Ximena really thought that her high temperature would fry her brain and she would be rendered mentally incapacitated because of it. The thought made her heart rate go higher, but when she felt that she was held in arms familiar to her, she calmed down and began thinking straight again. Despite the security she felt in Aaron's arms, she wanted to struggle out of his grip and to tell him not to touch her with his hands. But her body didn't respond to what her mind commanded. Actually, she was not able to move at all.

"Miss Mo is in a dangerous condition right now. She has had a fever for more than six consecutive hours," a doctor told Aaron. "If she had come to the hospital later than when you took her in, her lungs would have collapsed and they would be irreparably damaged."

Hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Aaron's face became pale with fear. Suddenly, a feeling of suffocating came to his chest. He felt extremely fearful and grateful at the same time. He asked himself why he didn't return to the manor last night. Was it because of Zoey's expecting and pitiful face, which looked a lot like his mother's? 'No, ' he admitted to himself silently, his emotions running high. it was because of Ximena's coldness and her attitude towards him, because she didn't care how many women there were by his side or who they were.
