Memories Of The Night 256 Chapter 256: A Gift Of Gratitude

When neither Aaron nor William speaks, Katrina asks, "Aaron, why do you have needles on your body? What surgery is he talking about?" She looks at Aaron worriedly. And she can't help herself not to ask it.

William smiles and readily explains, "Well, Aaron has been taking sleeping pills all year round. Now, he needs to…"

"Nonsense!" Aaron interrupts. "Didn't you say the acupuncture is good enough for my backache? And it can actually relieve the pain?" he growls, shooting William a warning look. He will definitely kick him if he dares to tell Katrina about his current condition.

As his employee, William has no choice but to shut up.

Understanding dawns on Katrina's face. People who work in offices all day must deal with a lot of back pain. It must be particularly bad for a workaholic like Aaron. His body has been in bad condition, isn't it?

"Oh, if that's the case, don't let me bother you. I will leave now and might come another day again," she replies and turns to leave.

"Wait!" Aaron hurriedly calls her back. "You just got here! You can't leave now! Aren't you visiting me?" Now that Katrina is taking the initiative to see him, he doesn't want to let her leave. He wanted to pursue his plan to make her fall for him.

Taken aback, Katrina patiently explains, "Okay. I'm just going to sit in the living room and play with Beta until you're done." She doesn't want to interrupt the acupuncture session. And Aaron's s.h.i.+rtless state makes her uncomfortable. She can't bear to look at him in this topless scene. She also felt shy that Doctor William would misinterpret her intention visiting Aaron today. She left Aaron in Hadley City; however, she would be caught in the act being inside his villa.

After confirming that Katrina is not leaving, Aaron calms down. She always runs away from me, and I was so afraid she would leave. If she actually leaves after seeing me briefly, I'll be furious. I can't let her leave me easily. She seldom takes the initiative to visit me.

After Katrina exits the room, she closes the door to give them some privacy.

In the living room, Katrina throws Beta's favorite ball and plays fetch with him. She enjoys the moment she spends with Beta.

Randy comes over to deliver a cup of hot tea. "What happened? Isn't Mr. Wilson in his room?"

Katrina takes a sip of the tea and replies, "Yes, but Aaron is receiving acupuncture treatment for his back pain. I can't disturb them while Aaron is receiving his treatment,"

Randy slaps his forehead in regret. "Please forgive my poor memory, and I forgot that Dr. William is in Abbe today."

Back pain? Randy blinks in confusion. Isn't Mr. Wilson receiving acupuncture for his headaches? He must have told her that to prevent her from worrying. I can't tell Miss Miller the reason behind Mr. Wilson's acupuncture session. I don't have the right to spill the beans out,"

As soon as Katrina shuts the door, William bursts into sn.i.g.g.e.rs.

I never thought I'd see the great Aaron Wilson like this! He's always the picture of perfect calm, but a single word from Katrina turns him into a nervous wreck! He was practically whining when he thought she was leaving! Indeed, Katrina is Aaron's weakness. I saw the way he looked at her a moment ago.

Knowing the reason for William's amus.e.m.e.nt, Aaron's face darkens, and he snaps, "I'm docking 20% off your salary this month! You are too careless almost to tell her the truth,"

William immediately stops laughing. The smile on his face freezes, and he lets out a loud whine. "Why?" he demands. I'm a dedicated doctor, why the h.e.l.l is he deducting my salary?

Aaron simply replies, "Why not? Your talkative mouth make me annoyed, "

William sputters, "Aaron, you vindictive man!" I can't believe I thought he had changed! Of course, he's only kind to Katrina! He's still the indifferent and arrogant Aaron, I know! This daredevil sometimes doesn't have a good heart for his friend.

Half an hour later, Aaron puts his s.h.i.+rt back on and walks out of the room.

William is so upset that he finishes the rest of the session in silence. He doesn't dare stay a minute longer and leaves immediately, afraid that he would offend Aaron into deducting his salary again. He forgets his plan to talk to Katrina about Aaron's current condition.

Aaron goes downstairs and finds Katrina playing ball with Beta. His attention is drawn by a pile of various supplements beside the sofa.

The sight makes his heart soften. He feels happy despite knowing that he could afford better products.

I can't believe she cares about me this much. If I knew being so heroic would win her heart, I'd have done this earlier. Maybe she wouldn't have gotten together with that other guy at all. And she will not leave me before. I regret making her flee away because of my reckless action towards her.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Katrina puts down the toy and pats Beta's head before standing up from the ground.

Aaron points to the pile of supplements. "You brought all this? I feel happy about your gift,"

Katrina nods. "Yes, my captain asked me to come and see you on behalf of the police. I bought them with the money he gave me! We wish you a speedy recovery. And this small gift is our way of expressing our grat.i.tude to your heroic act," she says solemnly and puts a slight smile on her face.

Aaron's previous happiness vanishes in an instant. On behalf of the police? She came to see me because her captain told her to? If he hadn't, would she have not visited at all?

The thought upsets Aaron a lot. Like a rollercoaster, his mood drops from the peak to the bottom in one swoop. He wanted to imprison her again because of what she said. This woman doesn't care for him at all.
