Aaron put on a deeply affectionate expression. “Seven years of feelings aren’t something you can just let go of. Nora, I know you just gave in to a moment of temptation. I don’t blame you. Come back with me, okay? I’ll figure something out for your mother’s illness. Let’s give each other another chance.”
After hearing Aaron’s words, the gazes falling on Nora felt like daggers.
Nora remained unmoved.
These people were just uninformed onlookers; it wasn’t worth getting angry at them.
She stared only at Aaron, asking word by word, “Are you saying that the reason I dated you for seven years was so you could treat my mother’s illness?”
Seeing Nora so calm, Aaron’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew his performance was wrong, but as a doctor with a promising future, he absolutely could not have any blemishes on his record.
He could only let Nora take the blame for now.
Besides, what he said wasn’t entirely false; he had just twisted the facts slightly.
He was confident Nora would understand. He could always sweet-talk her later.
With that thought, Aaron composed himself and forced a helpless smile. “I never said that, Nora. I was happy to take care of your mother. After all, your mom is like a mother to me.”
The crowd’s condemnation of Nora grew louder.
It was as if she were some irredeemable, wicked woman.
Nora nodded. “Alright.”
She then picked up the phone that had been knocked from her hand and dialed a number.
Startled, Aaron instinctively moved to stop her but was blocked by Nathan’s tall frame.
He was like Nora’s most loyal knight. When she didn’t need him, he was content to stand behind her. But when she did, he would step forward and become her strongest fortress.
