A little agitated, I didn't want to talk to Aaron. Instead, I looked at Irvin and said, "Let's bring these home to eat."
Irvin nodded. Still ignoring Aaron, I stood up and wanted to leave, but Aaron stopped me. He was furious, "What's wrong with you, Arianna? Do you know how much effort we put into finding you? Someone even-"
"Mr. Reid," Irvin intervened. "If you love her, I think it's best for you to respect her boundaries. She has suffered far more than you think."
Then, he asked the attendant to wrap up the food, and he held my hand, wanting to send me back to the car first. I was still shaken from the encounter with Valerie and Andrea, and Aaron's badgering definitely didn't help to improve my mood.
Seeing the state I was in, Irvin glanced coldly at Aaron who was trailing behind us, and he said, "You can continue to harass her if you want her to die."
Aaron wasn't listening at all. He grabbed my hand, pulling me to a halt, and asked, "Didn't you already cure it? Why are you still acting up?"
Then, he looked at Irvin and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter? I thought she hasn't shown any symptoms of it since a long time ago!"
Irvin was slightly taken aback. He eyed me with suspicion and asked, "You used to be like this?"
I nodded and turned to Aaron, "I don't want to say anything now. Can you just let me go home first? Please."
My feelings were getting out of hand without the medicine.
Aaron nodded and glared at Irvin with a murderous look. Irvin snorted, "Don't look at me like that. If you want to know what happened, you can ask Hendrix."
Then, he helped me into the car and got into the car himself before igniting the engine, leaving Aaron behind.
Irvin was a speeder. So, it didn't take long for us to arrive home. After taking the medicine, I waited for a while until I had a little more control over my emotions before looking at him and asked, "Did you get hold of those two people?"
He was surprised at my sudden question, only nodding after a while, "Someone is keeping an eye on them."
"I want to see them," I said. I figured that if I couldn't bring down the Moore family in a short time, getting revenge on Andrea would be just as enough.
Irvin hesitated only for a moment, and he finally nodded, "Okay."
