Chapter 928 Extra Story 66 Of Aaron Indifference (2/2)
t her balance in the process. ”Ah!” she screamed and fell onto the cold ground. Her face went pale and distorted immediately.
Zoey sat on the ground. It was so painful that she sweated and panted.
Aaron got a phone call from Zoey when he was about to leave the villa district. ”What?” he asked impatiently.
”Aaron, I sprained my foot. Come back, please. It hurts badly.” Zoey struggled hard to control her tremulous voice.
Aaron frowned and knew that she was not pretending. ”Go back.”
The car turned around and went in the opposite direction. Aaron sighed. Even if he didn't want to admit it, she was still his younger sister after all.
He took Zoey to the hospital. The doctor said that she was badly injured and needed to be hospitalized to find out whether the bone was broken. By the time he had arranged everything for her, it was dark. He needed to go home soon. He knew that Ximena must be waiting for him to have dinner.
”Aaron.”
Zoey grabbed onto his shirt with her trembling hand. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Aaron looked at her distantly.
”Aaron, could you please stay with me?” Though usually domineering, Zoey was afraid to stay in the ward all alone. She grew up under constant protection because she was Aaron's sister, but now, she had no one looking out for her. ”I'm afraid to stay in the hospital alone.”
Aaron frowned and wished to leave. But when he saw her sorrowful face, which closely resembled his mother's, he could not reject her anymore.
”My dad is not home, and I'm afraid of the dark.” Zoey hung her head low and sobbed.
When he looked at her crying face, something stirred up in his heart. Finally he said,”I will stay.”
Zoey looked up at him suddenly. She gazed at Aaron with happiness in her tear-filled eyes.
Aaron withdrew his arm from her grasp and sat on the sofa. He was in a daze for a long time. All he could think about was Ximena's distant face at the shop.
Maybe she was why he yearned for a home now. But he had lived without a home for so many years. He had gotten used to this, hadn't he?
