Chapter 1542 Who Are You
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" Her voice was shrill with terror as fear trickled down her spine. A flash of malice appeared in her eyes. If I find out who it is, I shall teach him a lesson!
It was Dylan's subordinate, Carlos, who came to pick Aaron up. Aaron hesitated for some time before plucking his courage to ask, "Has Dr. Moore recovered from her injury?" Carlos didn't know how Aaron and Arielle were related. However, he saw how Aaron was concerned about her when he sent her to the military hospital previously and let out a sigh. "What's wrong?" A strong sense of foreboding nagged at Aaron.
"Dr. Moore left three days after the surgery," Carlos told him honestly.
"What?" Aaron's eyes widened in disbelief. "Where did she go? Will she come back?"
She's dead. How will she come back? Carlos stared at the unshaven Aaron and shook his head sadly. "She won't be coming back ever again."
She won't be coming back ever again?
Aaron couldn't tell what it felt like to hear that. He lowered his gaze so that no one could see the turmoil in his eyes.
At the same time, Sonia invited Bella out for lunch after school.
Bella had been staying by her side after Arielle's death, offering her a lot of support. As such, Sonia treated Bella as her true friend instead of a lackey.
"What would you like for lunch?" Bella asked happily.
She was delighted that Sonia finally thought of her as a close friend.
Sonia pondered briefly and responded, "Anything will do. We still have classes this afternoon."
Bella nodded in agreement. They then went to a restaurant nearby their campus for lunch.
Right when lunch was served, Sonia retched without warning. She covered her mouth and ran to the restroom quickly. Worried about her, Bella went to the restroom after her. The moment she realized Sonia's puking resembled her sister-in-law's when the latter was pregnant with her nephew, her heart plunged to her stomach.
I-It can't be. Sonia doesn't even have a boyfriend. How could she get pregnant? But it really looks like Sonia is carrying a baby!
Her gaze lowered, she took one step forward and placed her hand on Sonia's wrist to take her pulse discreetly. She asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"
Sonia shook her head. "I'm fine. I've been retching these few days. Perhaps it's food poisoning."
Right then, Bella's hand dropped weakly as her expression turned grim.
Sonia's not suffering from food poisoning. She's indeed pregnant. However, she doesn't seem to know about it. Should I tell her the truth?
Feeling conflicted, she hung her head low and fidgeted with the corner of her top. If I reveal the truth, will Sonia get upset? Will she keep a distance from me and stop being friends with me?
Sonia promptly realized that something was amiss about Bella, for the latter would always act this way when she was in a dilemma. What happened to Bella? She seemed fine a while ago. Why is she looking so troubled?
"What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?" Sonia asked gently. "No matter what it is, I will be by your side. I'll do my best to help you solve it," she offered.
Bella stared at Sonia as warmth spread across her heart. Silly girl. You're the trouble. Hmm, how should I say that out loud?
"Sonia, y-you are not suffering from food poisoning," she said after hesitating briefly.
