Dr. William"s mouth twitches uncontrollably at Aaron"s words.
Despite having such a serious headache, he"s still impolite and rude.
Isn"t he afraid that as a doctor, Dr. William will deliberately retaliate against him and make him suffer even more?
Well, Aaron is the boss.
Considering he was just dumped by his girlfriend, Dr. William will yield to him for the time being.
Dr. William looks at him lightly and says, "There"s a way. It"s an operation. I"ll be the surgeon, and the success rate will be very high. There will be no complications."
Aaron says, "Arrange the operation!"
As soon as he solves his physical condition, he will go find Katrina immediately. He wants to get the operation in three days and go to Abbe City in a week.
But Dr. William says, "The surgery isn"t risky, but… it will destroy a part of your memory. That is to say, and after the operation, you may forget what happened in the last three months."
Aaron is stunned to hear Dr. William"s words.
Forget what happened in the last three months?
He caught Katrina two months ago.
After the operation, will he completely lose every memory of her? He will forget what happened in the past two months, and who Katrina is? Then how can he get her back after the surgery?
Aaron hesitates.
He doesn"t want Katrina to disappear from his memory. He doesn"t want to forget what happened in the past two months.
Although he is often furious with her, as he is now, he also has pleasant moments with her.
Her pretty face, the sweetness of her lips, the softness of her body…
He doesn"t want to forget any of those.
How could he have the heart to forget her when she"s so deeply ingrained in his heart?
But Aaron has always had high self-respect. He is unwilling to admit that he cannot bear to lose Katrina. He says through gritted teeth, "I have to get even with her!"
The operation will have to wait until he gets even with her.
Dr. William is not at all surprised to hear Aaron"s response.
It seems that Aaron, who has never been close to women, is really serious this time. He even thinks that getting even with a woman is more important than taking care of his own health.
In the end, Dr. William chooses to respect Aaron"s decision.
"Besides the surgery, the only way to relieve the pain is through acupuncture. I"ll do it for you for three days, and you will feel better. Later, you won"t need to do it every day, but you would need to have acupuncture at least once a week. Otherwise, your headaches will recur.
"But the sooner the operation, the better you will feel. Once you"re ready… Inform me at any time, so I can arrange the operation for you."
If Aaron relies on acupuncture to suppress the pain, the condition will become more and more serious in the long run.
After the acupuncture, Dr. William sterilizes his tools and puts them away.
Dr. William can"t bear to see Aaron torture himself like this because of a woman.
He is not only Aaron"s personal physician but also his uppercla.s.sman, his friend.
Although Aaron is a great influence in the business world, he can still be ignorant in matters of the heart.
Dr. William can"t bear to see Aaron frustrated and hurting so badly. He not only feels sad for Aaron but also for the innocent girl.
He sits on the chair beside the bed and speaks calmly, "Do you know why she ran away?"
Dr. William"s bold words stun Aaron.
Katrina"s departure is a sore spot for him. No one in the villa dares to mention Katrina"s name in front of him, but Dr. William is bold enough to ask...
Aaron"s bad mood sours even more as he glares at Dr. William.
Undaunted, Dr. William looks at him straight in the eye.
In the end, Aaron finally restrains his anger and closes his eyes, feeling a little sad. "Why?"
He also wants to know why.
It"s obvious that he likes her so much and he"s so kind to her.
Why is she dissatisfied? Why did she run away?
"Aaron, let me tell you a story.
"When I was young, l loved birds very much. One day, a very beautiful bird came into the house by mistake, and I caught it. At that moment, I was ecstatic.
"I bought the gorgeous cage and shut it inside. I prepared the most exquisite bird food for it and took good care of it every day. Because I loved it so much, the first thing I do when I come back from school every day is to see it.
"But the little bird seemed unhappy and refused to eat anything. I couldn"t understand it at that time. When it was outside, it took great efforts to find something to eat and fill its stomach. But after I fed it carefully every day and sheltered it from the rain and harsh wind, it refused to eat anything.
"I was afraid that it would starve to death. So I had no choice but to pry its mouth open and feed it. Because of this, I accidentally injured its wing. After that, it still refused to eat on its own. It looked even more listless, completely losing its previous l.u.s.ter. Although I took great care to take care of it, soon after, it still died.
"After the bird died, I was very sad. I felt sad for a long time and never wanted another pet bird again.
"A year later, we had a nest of birds in the big tree outside our window. Occasionally, birds stopped on the windowsill to rest.
"I"ve lost all interest in keeping a bird for myself, but when I remembered the bird that pa.s.sed away… Out of sympathy, I occasionally threw some leftover biscuits and bread onto the balcony.
"In fact, it was completely unintentional. But over time, the birds still held affection for me. Occasionally, when I sit at my desk to read, birds would come in and perch on my shoulders.
"Aaron, don"t you think that Katrina is a bird you kept in a cage?
"You like her and did all your best to be kind to her, but you never understood what she really wants. What"s the difference between what you did and what I did? Accidentally injuring her wings will only make her more frightened and afraid.
"She is filled with fear of you. How can she feel your love for her? How can she be brave and be willing to be with you?
"Aaron, if you really like her and want to be with her, why not change your methods and actions? If you blindly use hegemony to keep her in captivity, she will only die like the bird I once kept."
