As soon as Aaron walks out of the banquet hall, he hears the heavy rain pouring outside.
"s.h.i.+t!" At the sight of the heavy rain, Aaron curses and strides out to find his car.
When the doorman sees Aaron coming out, he rushes to hold an umbrella for him. "Mr. Wilson, it"s raining hard outside. Let me take you to your car!"
Aaron refuses grimly. "No!"
With such a gloomy and dreadful look, it seems Aaron is in an unpleasant mood. The doorman doesn"t dare follow him.
The headlights of the car light up and Aaron turns the car around, driving straight to his villa.
Aaron keeps the car at a fast pace the whole way.
The rain pours heavily on the winds.h.i.+eld, almost obscuring the view. Although the wipers are working nonstop, Aaron almost b.u.mps into oncoming vehicles several times.
He drives to the villa faster than usual, and in the blink of an eye, Aaron arrives home.
Getting out of the car, he shuts the door and strides towards the villa.
At Aaron"s arrival, the restless heeler in the living room rushes to greet him, "Mr. Wilson!"
Seeing Aaron"s wet hair and suit, he hurriedly says, "Mr. Wilson, your clothes are wet."
Aaron ignores his wet clothes. "Where is she?"
"Miss Miller is in her room. The private doctor has already been called, and Dr. William says he"ll be here soon…"
Before the heeler finishes, Aaron walks past them and strides towards Katrina"s room.
Katrina is lying on the soft bed. Her hair is wet on her slightly flushed face, her eyes are tightly closed, and her lips are pale and trembling. She looks like a quiet and lifeless doll.
Aaron"s heart suddenly aches at sight. He steps forward and touches Katrina"s cheek, but his fingers shrink involuntarily.
"Mr. Wilson," the healer says, trembling with fear, "Miss Miller"s clothes are still wet. We, we…"
After all, she"s a girl. Although they know it isn"t good to wear wet clothes, changing her clothes is inconvenient. They just put her in bed and waited for Aaron.
Aaron lifts the quilt. Indeed, Katrina"s clothes are so wet, and you can wring water out.
Pain and sorrow fill Aaron"s eyes. He asks sternly, "How long has she been in the rain?"
Shuddering, the man stammers, "Two… two hours."
It"s been raining for two hours before they remembered her.
Aaron becomes even more furious to hear the heeler"s words.
Is she been in the rain for two hours before they found her?
That means that after he left, they never went to see her on the balcony, or give her any food.
Even though he was angry and wanted to punish her, he never thought of hurting her that much, let alone starving her and letting her get drenched in the rain.
These d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! How dare they treat her like this!
Aaron looks sullen and says, "Kneel in the yard! Stay there until she gets better!"
If she never wakes up, they will kneel outside until they die!
Although Aaron isn"t a good-tempered man, he seldom gets angry with his heelers and rarely punishes them.
For the first time in years, the two men witnessed such an angry look on Aaron.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wilson is deeply concerned about the well-being of Miss Miller.
"Yes, sir!" The men are scared out of their wits and quickly run out to kneel in the rain.
As they let the heavy rain thoroughly soak their bodies, they keep praying for Miss Miller to get better soon.
If anything happens to her, they probably won"t survive, either.
After the heelers leave, Aaron looks at the thin and weak figure on the bed. His heart aches deeply.
Aaron picks her up gently and begins to take off her wet clothes.
He knows that if she wakes up and finds out that he took off her clothes, she"ll be angry with shame and call him a "rascal" while she points her finger at him.
But now, he can"t watch her helplessly lying in wet clothes. It will only make her condition worse.
The unconscious Katrina is docile, much more manageable than usual. She neither resists him or talks back to him. She allows him to take off her clothes, leaning gently in his arms.
She"s usually lively and eloquent, but that"s better than being unconscious in bed.
Earlier today, he was very angry that she schemed against him and threw him over her shoulder to the ground. But his anger is far less intense now. Her pale lips and burning body tug at him painfully.
He never thought that he"d care so much about the safety of a girl he"s just known for a few days.
Aaron strips Katrina"s clothes off one by one, including her wet underwear.
Her body is slim and symmetrical, and her skin is as clear as snow. Every part of her body is perfect.
Aaron"s throat dries out as he takes in her beautiful body.
Finally, he picks her up and walks to the bathroom. He"s extremely gentle as if he"s afraid of hurting Katrina in his arms.
He puts her in the bathtub and gives her a hot bath.
The beautiful scene and the soft touch of a girl"s skin inadvertently make Aaron"s body temperature rise.
Seeing her body in person is far more alluring and compelling than the view through the surveillance footage.
Aaron tries to restrain his thoughts.
After was.h.i.+ng Katrina clean, Aaron picks her up and holds her in his arms. He covers her with a large and soft towel and wraps it tightly around her tiny body.
He takes her in his arms and brings her to his room.
Aaron has just settled Katrina on the big bed when someone knocks on the door and reports, "Mr. Wilson, Dr. William has arrived. He"s in the living room."
"Let him wait outside. Bring in a set of clothes from the shopping this morning."
"Yes, sir."
Katrina is still naked beneath the towel. Even though Aaron and William have known each other for years, he can"t let William treat Katrina in this state.
After the clothes are delivered, Aaron helps Katrina into the clothes.
Although the bra looks simple, it"s still difficult for Aaron, who knows little about women.
He spends a lot of time getting Katrina dressed.
After making sure Katrina is fully-clothed, Aaron orders William to come in.
