Chapter 37：Wanting to Protect (1/2)

After half an hour had passed, Anya was still sitting on the living room chair. She did not move an inch from her seat. Her hand was still holding the same paper, hoping that if she stared at the paper longer, she could better understand the contents of Aiden's head.

Unfortunately, she still didn't understand…

She couldn't understand what just happened. It seemed as if her brain was having a hard time digesting this sudden incident. All of a sudden, Aiden wanted to ask for a divorce. He was willing to forget all her debts and even provide compensation money.

Harris watched it all from a distance. He didn't intend to peek and interfere, but he was worried.

He had been worried about his Master ever since they returned from their trip.

”Madame...” Harris walked over to Anya, who sat languidly in the family room. Along with his footsteps, Harris tried to steady his resolve. Currently, he was overstepping his limits by meddling in his Master's business. He didn't know whether this was the right thing or not, but he was worried about his Master.

The call made Anya look up with a daze. She didn't even realize who was approaching her until Harris arrived in front of her.

”Hmm ... What's wrong?” Anya asked Harris. She didn't feel like talking to anyone. Right now, her mind was confused. She was in the mood to be alone.

”Madame, I don't mean to interfere, but...” Harris said hesitantly.

Harris's words seemed to catch her attention. Only then did Anya wake to her senses. She looked straight at Harris, focused all her attention on him. Harris had been out with Aiden for the past week so he should know what had happened. He knew what had caused Aiden to act this way.

”Anything? What really happened? Tell me!” Anya demanded. The paper in her hand seemed forgotten. She realized that it was not from the paper that she was looking for, but from the man in front of her. Harris knew everything.

Harris cleared his throat, trying to clear his choked throat, ”Madame, during this week, the master has not been away on work. He visited a doctor for eye treatment.”

”Then what happened? Why is Aiden suddenly acting like this?” Anya asked worriedly.

'Aiden didn't go out of town to work?'

Aiden went to visit a doctor, to heal his eyesight. Was that why Aiden came back in such a bad mood? Was the treatment failed? Would Aiden never be able to see again?

There was no way Aiden wouldn't come back for a week without giving a word if all was well. There was no way Aiden would come back in a bad mood if his treatment were successful. There was only one possible answer…

”Master's eyes are not well.” Harris replied with a grit on his teeth, trying to hold back the irritation he felt in his heart, ”The treatment is not finished, but someone killed the doctor. All the prescription drugs have been burned. Mr. Aiden's eyes were still the same as before. It can't be cured.” Harris's hands were tightly clenched at his side.

Harris didn't just think of Aiden as his master. He grew up with Aiden so he also considered him a friend. It could be said that Aiden was the brother he never had. His feelings were sincere for Aiden, not expecting Aiden to return the same feelings.

That was why Harris felt very angry when he learned Aiden's treatment had failed. Someone deliberately killed the doctor so that Aiden couldn't see anymore. Harris gnashed his teeth and his fists clenched tighter and tighter until his knuckles turned white. Nothing could describe how much anger he felt right now. If only, had he known who did all this, he would have killed that person.

If only…
