Aaron has no plans on giving up. "You"re the reason I"m here! I sacrificed myself earlier," He wanted to condemn her. "Exactly! You"re hurt!" Katrina retorts. What does this have to do with me taking him to the hospital? Did he want me to watch him bleed to death instead? Did he want me to take a pang of lifetime guilt if something happened to him earlier?
"I got injured by saving you!" Aaron quickly added, "My shoulder is hurt. I can"t do it myself, and I can"t even lift my arms!" He looks at her in puppy eyes.
Taken aback by the obvious excuse, Katrina can"t think of a single argument to snap back. This cunning b.a.s.t.a.r.d! This was his plan all along! He"s actually guilt-tripping me!
Aaron"s logic renders Katrina speechless. How am I supposed to say no to him now? He hurt his shoulder because of me, but I won"t even help him. I must look really ungrateful. He is crazy and wants to do something inside the hospital ward.
Do I really have to do this to show my grat.i.tude? The thought brings tears to her eyes.
"Come on, just this once. Are you really going to let me suffer like this while I"m hurt? We"ve done it before anyway, and there"s nothing to be afraid of." Aaron observes Katrina as he tries to convince her while watching her tiny body curl in on the couch with every word he says.
Her obvious distress makes him sigh. "Fine! I won"t force you if you don"t want to. Just get the nurse for me," He said in a voice full of determination .
Is he really not going to force me? This is great! Katrina momentarily relaxes when she realizes what Aaron just said.
Wait, call the nurse for him? What the h.e.l.l? Is he… Her eyes widen as she feels a rush of overwhelming anger. That"s not what nurses are for! This disgusting pig! Really so pervert!
So what if he"s asking for another woman? Why am I so angry? Why am I so angry? Katrina Miller wakes up. No, that"s not it… This is how I lost my virginity! I"m not letting another nurse fall for the same trick! I can"t let someone suffer the same situation I had four years ago.
Face twisting in rage, she stands up and throws the pillow aside. "How many nurses do you want? Do you want the innocent type or the s.e.xy type? Let me get right to it!" Maybe they won"t mind. After all, he"s handsome and young, not to mention a billionaire… They might willingly serve and satisfy him.
Katrina"s sudden anger catches Aaron off guard. h.e.l.l hath no fury as a woman scorned, he thinks, watching her transform from a meek rabbit to a fierce wolf.
His eyebrows furrow in concern. Is she jealous? Is she jealous? Does she actually think I"m calling a nurse for that? Way to blow things out of proportion! I"m not letting her misunderstand my goodwill again!
"Stop putting words in my mouth and thinking the worst of me! You have no reason to be jealous, Katrina. I"m not interested in any woman but you," he says with a sigh.
"I need the nurse to bring me some ice cubes. Since you don"t want to help me, I need to find a way to curb my urges. I will calm down myself,"
Katrina deflates and falls into silence. What? Does he just want to get some ice? Did I hear it right?
Right, even if he"s a shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he won"t actually find a nurse for that… I"m thinking too much. She flushes in embarra.s.sment, feeling ridiculous for losing her temper. She wanted to dig a hole to hide immediately.
He decided to compromise for me, but here I am, thinking the worst of him… Too mortified to reply, she runs out to get a nurse.
Aaron successfully douses the fire from his body with an ice pack.
If I can"t get Katrina, I"m going to live the rest of my life in celibacy. I get aroused every time I get close to her, but she always turns me down. Who could stand this torture? I am not that too shameless to make something bad with another woman. She misunderstood me again.
He glances at Katrina, who is sitting quietly on the chair nearby, looking at anywhere but him.
She is going to ruin me. Willian taught me how to dote on her, but I keep being misjudged. I only had a few months left to make her fall for me while my body can still stand with the severe effect of that drug. If only we started in the right way, things would be better between us. He felt tired, but he couldn"t let her go. She is the only woman he loves. He wanted to cry, but he controlled his tears. He can"t show his weakness in front of her. He is Aaron Wilson, and his people look up to him with admiration. Only Katrina can dare to hurt him this way, but he can"t complain.
Early the next day, the police visit Katrina and Aaron at the hospital.
After a brief greeting, the captain announces, "Since Black Wolf has been arrested, we can no longer stay in Thailand. We have to go back and work on our other cases. Katrina and Colin will stay behind until you recover and get discharged. "
Katrina has no objections to the proposal. Aaron got injured, protecting me. It"s only right that I stay behind and take care of him.
As Katrina"s partner and Aaron"s newfound supporter, Colin is happy to stay.
But Aaron refuses with a smile. "No, I"m going back with you. I have a lot of business to attend to, and I can"t waste time recovering here."
The captain is momentarily stunned before he gathers himself and says, "I"m very sorry, Mr. Wilson. This is our business, but it took up so much of your time."
