Aaron taps Katrina"s head angrily. "Stupid woman! If I really want to kill him, I would do it without leaving any trace! Why would I trouble myself?"Besides, according to his heeler, the car was heading straight for Katrina. Marcellus got hit by saving her. Katrina was the target.
Even if he"s angry that she got a boyfriend behind his back, there is no way he would deal with her this way.
Katrina rubs her sore head, glaring daggers at Aaron.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Does he always have to be so violent?
But Aaron"s words successfully put a stop to Katrina"s train of thought. If Aaron really did it, he wouldn"t come to the hospital after the deed and expose himself so carelessly.
Although his company has gradually entered the top ranks in Abbe City, his influence is not that powerful yet.
The power and status of the Brook family in Abbe City cannot be underestimated. Aaron can"t be foolish enough to offend such a powerful family.
So if Aaron didn"t do it, who did?
The scene she witnessed still makes her shudder with fright. It didn"t seem to be just an accident. It seemed as if someone did it on purpose.
Who would want to kill Marcellus?
Someone from work?
Katrina mutters to herself, "Why would anyone want to kill Marcellus?"
While Katrina is in deep thought, Aaron snorts beside her. "That van was clearly coming for you. You might have offended someone recently."
Why is she still worried about someone hurting Marcellus? If Marcellus hadn"t protected her, she would be the one lying in the operating room at this moment.
Right now, Aaron is very grateful to Marcellus, even though he was hostile and dissatisfied with him before. Because of his sacrifice, Katrina is not in any serious danger. Aaron can"t imagine what would happen if she was the one lying in the operating room at death"s door.
Aaron"s words succeed in enlightening Katrina
She"s been thinking about who"s trying to kill Marcellus, but he only saved her. She was the one the car was about to hit before he jumped in to push her away.
Her mind is in such a mess that she doesn"t realize it until now.
Who on earth wants to kill her?
At the thought, Katrina feels a chill run down her spine.
Who did she offend recently?
Sophie?
Could she possibly hire someone to hit her with a car out of jealousy?
But Sophie wouldn"t do something so extreme, would she? She wouldn"t actually be cruel enough to take her life, would she?
Katrina"s eyes widen at a sudden realization. She whirls around to stare incredulously at Aaron. "How did you know that? Are you following me?"
How does he seem to know tonight"s events so clearly?
He even knows that the car was heading for her.
Where on earth was he at that time? Why didn"t she see him or his car while she was with Marcellus? Where the h.e.l.l was he?
At Katrina"s question, Aaron coolly replies, "I"m not that bored."
Although it"s true that he didn"t follow her personally, he gets reports about her whereabouts and actions through his phone while he is at home.
The more Katrina thinks about it, the more she feels that something is wrong. Whenever she"s on a date with Marcellus, she always felt that someone was following her in the dark. At first, she thought that she was just too sensitive.
But now…
Every time she has a moment with Marcellus, pa.s.sers-by would inadvertently interrupt them. Earlier tonight, before Marcellus kissed her by the river, a young drunkard b.u.mped into him and disrupted them.
So that man was sent by Aaron?
He must have been secretly making someone monitor and disrupt them. It"s the only explanation she can think of to explain his knowledge about the accident.
Katrina originally thought Aaron had let her go. But she suddenly realizes that although he hasn"t shown up for weeks, it doesn"t mean that he has given up.
It turns out that he secretly sent someone to follow her.
Katrina can"t help but inhale sharply at the realization.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
He has no right to meddle in her affairs with Marcellus. He has no right to disturb her dates repeatedly.
Katrina grits her teeth and glares at him just then, Aaron"s phone rings. He ignores Katrina"s venomous glare and answers the phone. After hearing whatever the other person is telling him, he suddenly turns serious.
"I"ll be right there," he says before hanging up. He takes one last look at Katrina before finally leaving the hospital.
Originally, Katrina didn"t want to see Aaron again. But she feels a sense of loneliness after he leaves her alone outside the doors of the operating room.
Despite Aaron being a jerk, his sudden appearance still calms her down significantly while she"s feeling helpless and at a loss. After his appearance distracts her, she is able to settle down and reorganize her thoughts.
Katrina should hate Aaron.
The b.a.s.t.a.r.d was so disrespectful to her last time, almost raping her. And tonight, she finds out that he"s been deliberately sabotaging her dates with Marcellus.
But her hatred for him doesn"t seem as intense as she expected.
Katrina remembers that when he realized that she was suffering intense menstruation cramps, he immediately let her go and went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for her. He even stayed to make sure that she would drink it before he left.
As soon as he found out that Marcellus got into a car accident, he came to the hospital. Maybe he didn"t come to jeer at her. He seemed relieved when he saw that she wasn"t seriously injured.
Is Aaron worried about her?
At the thought, Katrina immediately slaps her forehead with the heel of her hand to stop her thoughts.
How could she think that?
Does Aaron care about her?
She can"t forget all the terrible things he did to her!
That b.a.s.t.a.r.d bullied and hara.s.sed her so much. Even though he occasionally behaves kindly, they"re all just a pretense.
She can"t let him deceive her!
Marcellus is her boyfriend. He has always been kind to her. She can"t disappoint such a good person.
