After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 212

If she leaked photos of an unknown man staying in her room for so long, along with the man’s video confession, online...

Aria’s reputation would be utterly destroyed.

She couldn’t help but clench her fists. “They really go to great lengths to take me down.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Wait.” Aria looked up. “There’s someone else. I’m waiting for her to slip up.”

After Flora’s stunt, combined with the recent incident at the research lab, how could she not understand? They wanted to strike while she was overwhelmed, steal her research results for Hazel Quinn, and ruin both her reputation and her future.

If she was right, there were only three days left until her seminar. If that person really was Hazel, she would definitely make a move in the next two days.

“So I still don’t have to do anything?” Raphael pursed his lips. “Aria, you’re too strong. Sometimes, it’s okay to rely on others. You’re a good person, and the Evernight family has wronged you. I want to do everything I can to make it up to you, to be there for you. If you don’t mind, I hope you’ll let me be your support.”

“Will you?”

Aria was taken aback for a moment.

The Evernight family had indeed wronged her deeply.

But that didn’t include Raphael.

He had always been abroad, so she’d had no contact with him before his return. After he came back, he had been nothing but kind to her. How could she resent him?

But she was used to handling everything on her own.

Ever since Lilith was brought into the family, Aria had gradually become the child no one paid attention to.

When she was younger, she had relied on Charles.

Raphael raised an eyebrow, wiped his hands clean, and exposed his wrist. “In that case, could Dr. Rowan check the pulse of this long-suffering patient?”

“That’s easy enough.”

Aria took two more bites of her apple, then placed her clean hand on Raphael’s wrist.

At first, she was still casually chewing on the apple.

But then, her expression gradually turned serious. She put the apple down, wiped her hands, and took his pulse on both wrists simultaneously.

“Your condition has only been suppressed, not treated. It's like Gideon's, in a dormant phase. But the biggest difference between you and Gideon is… his latency period doesn’t significantly affect his life. If yours flares up, I’m afraid… it could be fatal.”

Raphael chuckled. “You’re quite confident, aren’t you, Dr. Genius? I don’t think I look as bad as you make it sound.”

Aria’s expression was grave. “I don’t joke when it comes to medicine.”
