Chapter 37：Wanting to Protect (2/2)

Anya's mouth fell open. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Someone had killed the Doctor that treated Aiden. Someone wanted Aiden's treatment failed so he would lose his sight.

Unconsciously, her hands holding the divorce documents were clenched and trembling, making the paper crumpled. Who would have the heart to do this to Aiden?

”Will he not be able to recover forever? Can't Aiden see anymore?” Anya asked. Her voice was low and sounded a little trembling.

”Sir must find another way to do treatment. He must find another doctor who can help his eyesight improve. But it takes quite a long time.” Harris replied, trying to calm down.

When he saw the woman in front of him, Harris could see that Anya was also trying to hold back her emotions. The woman's face was slightly flushed and her eyes were filled with tears that were about to trickle down her lids.

”Mr. Aiden wants to protect you. That's why he wants to divorce you.” Harris said. He wanted Anya to know that even at times like this, Aiden was still thinking about her.

”Protect me?” Anya was stunned to hear this.

”There were people who wanted the treatment to fail. That person did not want the master to be able to see again. He even killed the doctor.” Harris replied.

Anya was pensive when she heard this, 'Someone is trying to harm Aiden. I don't know what that guy's aim was, but that person didn't want Aiden to see anymore.'

This person didn't want Aiden to be happy. This meant that anyone close to Aiden was not safe, especially Anya, who held the status of Aiden's wife. As the closest person to Aiden, Anya could also be the target of Aiden's enemies. That person could harm Anya to make Aiden helpless.

That was why Aiden wanted to divorce her.

Aiden wasn't testing her. Aiden also didn't throw her away because Anya was useless. Aiden wanted to protect her. The man wanted to keep her safe.

Anya's heart ached when she realized all this. Her hands rose to grab her chest, as if trying to ease the pain in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized what Aiden was really thinking.

Even at times like this, Aiden still had time to think about her. The man was supposed to think more about his condition, especially his eyes. Aiden must have felt hurt and disappointed after realizing that his treatment had failed. Anya could not imagine how angry and disappointed Aiden would be to find out that the treatment had failed this time and he could no longer see. However, the man thought of Anya instead, worrying about Anya's safety. He put Anya above himself even in these conditions.

Anya felt she was really not worthy of Aiden.

She couldn't even do anything for Aiden, but Aiden always treated her wholeheartedly. Her fists were clenched tighter, causing the documents in her hands become damaged.

Harris's gaze landed on the divorce papers which Anya was still holding. He could feel how much Aiden loved Anya. Even though the man should have thought about his eyes better, Aiden thought about Anya's safety instead. He was afraid that Anya would be in danger. He was afraid that someone would try to harm Anya.

Such was Aiden's love for Anya…

Harris looked away from the document and looked straight at Anya, ”Sir is willing to give freedom to you. Are you going to leave him?”
