Matilda was stunned and looked at the man covering his face, flurried.
To be honest, she was moved.
In recent years, Aaron was meticulous to her and spared no effort to her affairs. As a friend said, a stone should have been melted by that.
But at that time Matilda did not take it seriously, until later found herself pregnant and suffering from leukemia. She came to him, and he took her abroad without hesitation and gave birth to Rebecca abroad.
The years she spent abroad should have been the most comfortable period of time.
Later, Samuel misunderstood Aaron when he had to go back to China. Aaron cared about her silently, never thought of being the third party between them, nor did he violate the rules for her.
Even he forced her to return to the United States after the operation was based on her consideration for fear that she would be hurt again...
She was grateful.
But there was only gratitude.
In her whole life, she had been so exhausted with love that she didn't have the energy to start another love affair.
Matilda slowly raised her hand and took away Aaron's hand covering his face. She looked at him and said, “No, I never thought you were mean.”
Aaron's eyes turned red, looking at her eyes with obsession and sadness, “Then why you suddenly don't want to go back? Did you get cheated by Samuel's sweet words?”
Matilda said, “Aaron, it will be impossible between Samuel and me. Don't think too much.”
Aaron said in a hoarse voice, “Matilda, I have no other meaning, I'm just afraid you will be hurt again --”
“I understand.” Matilda said and seemed to have made a decision. “Don't worry, I will go back to United State with you after the operation. Here --”
She gritted her teeth, “Everything here has nothing to do with me.”
“Matilda......” Aaron called her in a low voice with infinite tenderness.
Matilda moved her eyes away. Although Aaron achieved his purpose, the hearts of two people became far.
On the day of the operation, when Matilda was pushed into the ward, Samuel's heart suddenly beat hard.
He ran up and took Matilda's hand and said solemnly, “I'm waiting for you.”
Matilda patted him on the back of the hand appeasingly, and was wheeled into the operating room by the nurse.
The operation went well and the bone marrow transplant was very successful. Rebecca finally got rid of the congenital incurable disease.
But Samuel was freaking out.
Because Matilda ran away again.
She did not even leave him a note but directly left from the hospital. And he only got a message.
“Don't miss me.”
By the time Samuel got to the airport, the plane had already taken off.
If it were not Rebecca needed to be taken care of, Samuel would have flown to United State.
It had been two months since Rebecca was discharged.
Samuel had been worried. He asked the servant to take care of Rebecca and he took a flight to Texas with Sidney.
However, when he arrived at the villa where Matilda and Aaron lived, he hesitated to go in.
