Charles also looked over. It was the middle of the night, yet Gideon was dressed impeccably in a suit, a clear sign that he hadn’t been in bed with Aria.
“Then, can we call Aria now?” Lilith whispered.
Flora nodded through her tears. While Lilith was being moved to her room, she had tried calling Aria several times, but there was no answer.
“Mr. Evernight, please call Aria,” she said.
Gideon nodded and dialed Aria’s number. The call went unanswered.
What was wrong with Aria?
Gideon stepped out of the room to make a few more calls.
Inside the hospital room, Charles sat by Lilith’s side to look after her.
“Charles, I’m stepping out for a bit. You stay here and watch Lilith,” Roxanne said, wiping her tears before leaving.
Gideon was on a call, but he quickly ended it when he saw Roxanne approaching.
“Gideon, you can’t promise Lilith that! She needs the umbilical cord blood! We can’t pin all our hopes on a doctor who disappeared years ago!”
After learning of Lilith’s illness, Roxanne had immediately consulted experts. She knew how crucial the cord blood was for Lilith. She couldn’t just stand by and watch Lilith give up hope.
“Lilith is just too kind. She doesn’t want to put you in a difficult position, but you can’t agree to her request. Please, have a child with Aria as soon as possible!”
When Henry brought Aria over, she had just stepped out of the bathroom and changed into dry clothes. Henry didn't dare ask about her relationship with Gideon; his only thought was to get her to the hospital quickly.
