Chapter 1521 A Misunderstanding
Shortly after, Dylan’s men arrived and intimidated the assassin. As the latter was scurrying away, he bumped into Aaron, who rushed to the scene. Unfortunately, Aaron did not know that the man he ran into was the killer and missed the golden opportunity to get rid of him. In the end, the assassin escaped unscathed.
‘‘Mission accomplished.’‘ Upon leaving the crime scene for a distance, he dialed a number and hung up seconds later. In no time, a message popped up on his phone screen stating that a large sum had been credited into his account. With that, the assassin chucked his phone aside and sped off.
‘‘Sannie…’‘ Cold sweat broke out from Vinson’s palms as he gazed at the pool of blood on the passenger seat and said in a trembling voice, ‘‘Don’t be afraid. I’m taking you to the hospital now…’‘
‘‘Don’t worry.’‘ Seeing that Vinson’s eyes glistened with tears, Arielle stroked his face and comforted him, ‘‘I’m all right.’‘
He grabbed her hands and tried his best to stay composed. ‘‘Say no more… Reserve your energy.’‘
‘‘Mr. Knightley, please come into our car. It can reach the hospital faster,’‘ a man of Dylan’s age approached Vinson and suggested.
Vinson knew that the man was sent by his father-in-law. Hence, he nodded in agreement before he carried Arielle and placed her in the backseat. At that moment, Aaron caught a glimpse of the scene when he got out of his car.
He hurried over and was shocked to see the crimson stain covering Arielle. At that instant, he felt like his heart was torn apart. He widened his eyes in disbelief and glared at Vinson angrily. ‘‘Did you even protect her?’‘
When Arielle saw how distressed Aaron was, she stammered with difficulty, ‘‘Don’t… get mad… at… him. He’s…’‘ He’s your brother-in-law. However, she could not bring herself to finish the sentence.
How can she still cover up for him at this time? Aaron dropped the topic despite feeling displeased and downright furious.
‘‘Prince Aaron, we’ve got to hurry to the hospital.’‘ In other words, the middle-aged man was urging him not to waste any more time.
Aaron hurriedly retreated, and the car zoomed past him. Thereafter, he went to get his car and followed behind them.
Arielle had already gone into a coma when the people from the army were rushing her to the military hospital. Upon arrival, she was wheeled into the operation theater at once.
When Dylan got the news, he hesitated for a while before instructing his chauffeur to drive him to the hospital.
The moment he got to the military hospital, he saw Vinson sitting alone, devastated. His body was drenched in blood.
‘‘Father, why are you here?’‘ Aaron walked up to him and asked.
Without warning, Dylan slapped his son hard on the face.
‘‘Didn’t I ask you to protect her? Why did she get injured? If anything bad happens to her, I’ll cut off all ties with you,’‘ he spat the words out through his gritted teeth as he glowered at Aaron.
Aaron gaped in tremendous shock.
He could not believe a single word his father had just spoken to him, and neither could he accept the latter’s radical reaction.
No matter how fond he is of Arielle, it’s still absurd for him to break his relationship with me, his son, because of her!
‘‘Father, she’s just a doctor. Is this outrageous response necessary?’‘ Disappointed, Aaron looked at his father with a pair of reddened eyes.
Why does he value Arielle so much? Does he have feelings for her?
As Dylan stared at the frustrated Aaron whose eyes had reddened, he fell silent.
What can I say?
‘‘Father, you have fallen for Arielle, haven’t you?’‘ Aaron blurted. He could not stand the long silence anymore.
‘‘What nonsense!’‘ Dylan was fuming when he heard the speculation his son uttered. However, Aaron pressed on, ‘‘Then, what is it? Why must you sever relations with me because of one woman?’‘
