Chapter 107 - You will know in a week (1/2)

Helios was staying on the bed and Aria was sitting on the chair looking at the clock on the wall . She couldn't stand the awkward silence that filled the room with an unbearable pressure and more than that she couldn't stand the fact that Helios kept staring at her .

” If you have something to say , it's better to say than stare at people . I feel really uncomfortable when you look at me like that , seriously ! ” said Aria in a troubled tone and looked at Helios .

” I am just a bit curious . ” said Helios and then took his eyes off her .

” What are you curious about ? ” asked Aria with a bit of doubt .

” I am curious about the fact that you gave up the whole work you have done till now , without giving it a second thought , just because there's a possibility that your little brother may be cured . And that possibility isn't even certain yet . If I were in your place I would have chosen to finish my studies and start a job that pays me well , then concentrate on my brother's condition . ” said Helios with a serious tone .

” True but I just can let him be just like that . There's a possibility that he may recover , why not try it ?! ” said Aria with a bit of a sad tone .

” There will always be a possibility as long as you have money . You were able to find a way to pay for this possibility , but if it doesn't work , you will lose a lot . You will lose your hard work at school and you will also lose the abilities to afford another possibility that may arise . ” said Helios trying to tell her that her choice was wrong .

When he heard Bekora say that Aria had taken the decision to leave her studies and focus on her brother , he found it really hard to believe that a girl as ambitious as her would give up the only way she has to climb on a higher scale .

” What you say it's true , Ace also said the same thing to me . I thought of it carefully and this is my final choice . You can have all the money in the world but you can't buy health . This is the possibility that can give me the most results . No matter the price I have to pay , I will pay it without a second thought as long as it shows even the tiniest results . ” said Aria in a tone which expressed all the anxiety and worry which she had kept inside for a lot of time .

Just by hearing her voice Helios could tell that she had suffered a lot from her little brother's condition .

” Haven't you tried to take him to a therapist or doctor ? ” asked Helios .

” He was accompanied by doctor as soon as he was diagnosed with autism . We have sent him to every good doctor we could find . Each time we hoped to hear a piece of good news but we never did . Just a little improvement . This is the first time I hear someone tell me that there's a possibility for him to become the same as other children , as if he never suffered from this illness . ” said Aria .

” Still to be throwing... ” said Helios but Aria interrupted him before he could finish .

” You don't have a similar case like mine in your family , do you ?! ” said Aria with a sad smile .

” No , I don't ! ” answered Helios immediately .

” Precisely because of this , you can't understand how I feel . ” said Aria and Helios didn't say no more .

It wasn't a problem that concerned him but he wanted her to continue her studies cause she would be a great help to him to fight against his aunt . Aria looked at Helios and asked him where did he hear this from and he said that Bekora had told him about the conversation at the medical clinic .

” Now I understand , for a minute I thought that you had done a background check-up on me . That would be creepy . ” said Aria relieved .

” Haaa ?! Why would I waste my time in doing a background check on you ?! Don't think of yourself as someone important ! ” said Helios and hurried to hide the CV he got from Ace under his pillow .

” I feel really relieved to hear that . ” said Aria who thought that he wouldn't ask her to pay his medical bill and smiled .

' What's wrong with this girl ?! I just told her that she's not important to me and she smiles happily like that ?! ' thought Helios dumbfounded by her expression .

” You're very weird ! ” said Helios unconsciously .

” And you're very annoying ! ” said Aria a bit irritated by him .

” Aren't we on a truce now ?! ” asked Helios with sarcasm .

” You were the one who started it ! ” said Aria and grabbed a magazine she found near the table .

” You're so childish ! ” said Helios and then turned his head on the other side .

The stayed quiet for another couple of minutes then Helios spoke again .

” Your family left today ? ” asked Helios .

” Yeah , they did . ” said Aria .

” It must have been hard on you .” said Helios and looked at Aria who closed the white magazine and placed it on the table next to her .

” Yeah , it was ! ” said Aria and looked at him .

” Your little brother , is staying with you in your room today ?! ” asked Helios .

” You're pretty well informed on the background of someone who's not important to you ! ” said Aria with a smirk and with a tone full of sarcasm .

” Of course I have to be informed on your background cause you have yet to pay the price for your actions till now . ” said Helios in a low tone .

” What did you say just now ? ” asked Aria with a bit of doubt .
