Memories Of The Night 248 Chapter 248: She Cried For Him

Katrina becomes desperate and starts to protest, "No! He's not our boss at all! He has nothing to do with the Simons! Mr. Wolf! Don't believe him! He's just a pa.s.ser-by! Take me with you! I'm the one you have! Take me with you!"

She struggles desperately, urgently trying to persuade Black Wolf of the idea.

But Black Wolf has already been attracted by the money. In addition, Aaron looks very distinguished in terms of his appearance, temperament, and clothing. He's definitely a rich kid. I'd be a fool to let such a big fish go.

As Aaron approaches, Black Wolf quickly s.h.i.+fts the gun from Katrina's temple to Aaron's head, shoving Katrina away and grabbing Aaron's shoulder in the process.

Because Aaron is half a head taller than Black Wolf, he can't grasp Aaron's neck the same way he did Katrina's a moment ago. He can only grip his shoulder with his other hand.

As soon as Katrina is pushed away, the nearest police officer rushes over to support her. After being choked for so long, Katrina is lightheaded, and her body is a little weak. She can only lean against her colleague to stay on her feet. She looks at Aaron in despair.

Seeing Aaron with a gun to his head feels wrong to Katrina. He's always bullied me around, but now he's sacrificing himself to save me…

Katrina feels tears well up in her eyes. I don't want to see him like this...

Oh G.o.d, anything could happen to him... Her heart throbs painfully at the thought. I should be in his place! I should be the one to be in danger, not him!

At that moment, Katrina realizes that she doesn't hate Aaron as much as she thought.

As long as he's safe, as long as he can return to my side... I'll stop avoiding him, she vows to herself. I'll stop yelling at him, and I'll never lose my temper with him again!

Aaron took an overnight flight to Thailand just to find me. She remembers her morning outburst with regret. And I yelled at him over a simple room! Even though I always fight him… Also though I always think the worst of him, he's willing to give up his life for me.

The bodyguards are still busy gathering and stuffing money into the briefcase. Some of the bills have scattered a little bit further, and Black Wolf is keen to get every single bill.

"There's more over there! Hurry up! Don't miss a single one!" While barking orders at his men, he greedily looks at the case full of money in glee.

I thought I was going to get arrested, but now I've landed a billionaire hostage and a suitcase full of money. I'll be set for life soon!

At that moment, Aaron's face turns cold. In a swift movement, he raises his arm and grabs Black Wolf's wrist. Threatened by the sudden movement, Black Wolf pulls the trigger, but Aaron quickly breaks free of his hold and moves out of the way.

Bang! The bullet misses Aaron's head and hits him on the shoulder.

Everything happens in a flash.

The moment Aaron moves, the policemen at the sidelines rush over. A couple of officers quickly subdue Black Wolf and take away his gun. The others point their guns at the two men still picking up money off the ground.

Soon Black Wolf and his men are overpowered by the police. The officers quickly confiscate their weapons and handcuff them.

When Black Wolf pulls the trigger, Katrina's eyes widen, and she stops breathing. When the bullet hits Aaron's shoulder instead, she feels like she survived a great disaster. Already on the verge of tears, she starts crying uncontrollably.

"Aaron!" Katrina gathers all her strength and runs, throwing herself at him. She wraps her arms tightly around his waist and presses her face against his chest, unwilling to let go.

Aaron is alive! Aaron is alive! Katrina grips him tighter. I thought he was going to die! I thought I'd never see him again!

In the past, whenever Aaron took Katrina in his arms, she would always struggle. This time, Katrina actually takes the initiative to hold him, without a single care for what her colleagues might think.

Aaron has a gunshot wound on his shoulder, but feeling Katina hugging him tightly with all her strength, he doesn't feel any pain.

In Katrina's embrace, Aaron's heart filled with warmth. Despite all the things he had done for her, Katrina has never held him like this before. He is taken aback by the unexpected gesture.

Aaron feels like a hero who saves the girl in a soap opera. This method is quite useful. He thinks in wonder. Katrina is so moved, she's in a complete mess…

Who would've thought this would happen? I just wanted her safe, but this is a pleasant surprise. He struggles with the pain in his shoulder and lifts his arm to hug Katrina back.

Surrounded by Aaron's embrace and his familiar scent, Katrina cries even harder.

Aaron startles at the warm wetness on his chest. She's crying…

Before, Aaron was terrified of Katrina's tears. Every time she cried in front of him, it would always be out of extreme hatred or fear of him. He used to think that he was only capable of making Katrina unhappy.

But this time, Katrina is crying for a different reason. She's afraid I was going to die. She's crying because she's worried about me…

The thought that Aaron's life is in danger because of her makes Katrina's heartthrob painfully.

Instead of Aaron taking the risk for her, she wants to be in his place. She doesn't want him to do this for her. His life is precious to her. She realized that despite his overbearing att.i.tude and forcing himself to her, he would risk his life to do this deed. She can't imagine seeing Aaron in a lifeless moment. Nothing more important than having around him, feeling his warm embrace. She thought all of these things around her head.
