In his room, Aaron is lying on his stomach, half-naked on his bed. The wound on his shoulder had been redressed, and he is currently receiving acupuncture treatment from William for his migraine. To suppress the damages that might affect his mind from the drug effect four years ago. As he works, William quips, "You actually risked your life for a woman! I didn"t know you could be so romantic, Aaron! The cold-hearted CEO chasing a woman?"
When he heard that Aaron traded his life for Katrina and got shot in the process, he was dumbfounded. I knew he loved Katrina, chasing her all the way to Abbe. But to risk his life so recklessly… This is crazy! This is really an act of craziness!
Having never been in a relations.h.i.+p, William doesn"t understand how anyone could take such a risk for someone else without any hesitation.
I thought this kind of love story only existed in fiction. Who knew this would happen in real life? I can see another man doing this, but Aaron? He"s never cared about a woman before!
No, that"s not actually true, is it? Since he met Katrina, he has never been the same. And why he dotes her so much. Did I miss something about Aaron"s story?
What"s so good about her? Even though she is very beautiful, not to mention clever and sensible, there are a lot of beautiful women in the world. Other women would fall over themselves to get him.
He never looked at a woman before, but one looked at Katrina, and it"s like he"s under a spell. His love for her is unimaginable. He was bewitched with her beauty and body, I think.
At William"s teasing tone, Aaron snaps coldly, "Shut up! Do your job silently!" What I do is my own business. Even if I hurt my shoulder, I was willing to do it for her. No one else has a say! This stupid Doctor annoyed me.
William coughs awkwardly and s.h.i.+fts the topic back to the matter at hand. "Aaron, your body can"t take this any longer. Acupuncture may provide temporary relief, but it is not a cure. You need to make time for the operation as soon as possible."
The more he delays this, the more serious his condition gets. The acupuncture is also starting to lose its effect. William looks at Aaron in despair. How am I supposed to treat you if you don"t listen to me?
Despite William"s obvious concern, Aaron says, "Not yet. I have a lot of things to do,"
Katrina hasn"t fully embraced me yet. Our relations.h.i.+p is not yet stable. The operation could give me amnesia. I don"t want to forget her.
She keeps running away from me, always refusing to be with me. If I forget her, she won"t look for me at all. She might even take advantage of the memory loss to remove me from her life…
I don"t want to lose Katrina. Until I"m certain that she is in love with me until I"m sure she will stay with me no matter what, I"m not risking the chance of forgetting her," He thought in silence.
In the face of Aaron"s decisive refusal, William sighs helplessly. "If you let it go on like this, the consequences will become even more serious. When that time comes, even I can"t do anything."
Aaron looks up and shoots him a fierce look. "You"re the Doctor, that"s your problem! I"m paying you to be my personal Doctor. If you can"t find a way to cure me, that only proves that you"re a mediocre doctor!" He rolled his eyes.
William is rendered speechless. He can"t believe Aaron would go against his advice and stubbornly refuses to undergo an immediate operation.
Suddenly, there is a knock on the door, and a familiar voice says, "Aaron, how are you doing? Is your wound better? Are you okay?"
Katrina reaches Aaron"s room and finds his door open. As she knocks on the door and steps in, she hears William"s voice. Dr. William"s here! He must be checking his wound. It"s wrong timing to visit Aaron.
She looks up to the sight of Aaron lying s.h.i.+rtless on the bed, and William p.r.i.c.kling his back with needles. She gapes at the sight. What"s going on? Didn"t Aaron hurt his shoulder? Why does he have needles on his head and back? Is it the best way to cure his wound? I wonder what kind of treatment it was, that Doctor William given to him,"
After a moment of hesitation, Katrina asks, "You two are... what are you doing?"
Katrina"s visit takes Aaron and William by surprise.
Despite the pleasant surprise, Aaron is horrified. If I knew she would be visiting, I wouldn"t have agreed to a session with William today! I look like a hedgehog! William destroys the opportunity that I can develop Katrina a good relations.h.i.+p. Tch, this man annoyed me today,"
William gathers himself and greets Katrina with a smile. "Miss Miller, long time no see. I thought I couldn"t meet you again!"
Katrina smiles back. "Long time no see, Dr. William."
Katrina"s presence sparks an idea in William. Katrina is visiting Aaron to check upon him. She must care about him!
If I tell her about the operation, she will persuade him to undergo surgery immediately! Aaron cares so much about her that he risked his life for her. He"d definitely undergo the operation if she asks him to!
To save Aaron, I have to tell Katrina the truth. She is my best hope now. I need to find ways to talk to her privately. Aaron"s life is in danger if we delay his operation. I can"t let him die without doing the best cure as soon as possible. With Katrina"s help, I know Aaron will definitely listen to her. It seems Aaron had a deep affection for this woman, and otherwise, if not, he"ll not be going to change abruptly. I need to find a perfect timing to inform Katrina about Aaron"s current situation.
