Chapter 188 I Insist On Seeing Aurelia
After ending his call, Matthew noticed the sudden change in Aurelia’s expression. “Is something wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just saw someone being insane on social media.” Aurelia logged out of her account.

How else would one label a person whose logic completely shattered one’s worldview as though it were the most natural thing to do, if not insane?
Aaron and Melanie woke up quite late the next day, only stirring to consciousness well lunchtime.

Aaron had another wild night with Melanie after he was done berating Aurelia on Twitter.
Had hunger not roused them from their sleep, the two would have continued slumbering, completely forgetting about their hospital visit scheduled for that day.
The man emerged from Melanie’s room, and was about to head downstairs to check for lunch, only to hear an unexpected and nerve–racking voice suddenly echo from behind him.
“Aaron?”
Aaron stiffened, slowly turning to look at Spencer.
“What are you doing at home?” The former quietly drew in a breath, unsure of how he was going to explain his situation with Melanie to his family just yet.
There had been a lot going on at home recently, and he wanted to wait a bit before discussing the
matter.
Unexpectedly, Spencer might have already found out.
The younger man had just woken up, so his eyes were not yet fully open. Instead of responding to his brother’s query, he voiced his own confusion. “Why did you go to Mel’s room?”
“I just went to check on her,” Aaron responded calmly.
Spencer frowned. “I didn’t see you in your room when I got back last night. When did you get back? Did you wake up earlier than me?”
“I’ve always been a light sleeper. Why are you asking so many questions this early in the morning? Let’s go have our breakfast. Mel and I need to go to the hospital later,” Aaron responded, keeping a straight face.
Spencer thought nothing more. “Okay, I’ll go check on Mel too. Things have been so hectic, and she’s had to visit the hospital every two days. She’s had health issues since she was a child, so she might be exhausted by now.”
While speaking, he made his way toward Melanie’s room.

“Wait! Don’t go in there yet,” Aaron called out. “Mel just mentioned she wanted to take a bath, so now’s not a good time. Come on downstairs with me.”
Spencer paused for a moment, feeling somewhat perplexed by his brother’s apparent panic.
Subconsciously, he felt something was amiss.
At the same time, he felt that it wasn’t really a big deal, so he nodded. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Let’s go and see what the housekeeper’s prepared for lunch.”
As the two descended the staircase, Aaron let out a sigh of relief. That was a close call!
Spencer had nearly discovered his affair with Melanie. It looks like we’ll have to be more careful at home from now on.
Melanie, who was hiding in the room, overheard the conversation between the two brothers outside.
She pursed her lips, showing her dissatisfaction with Aaron.
He was clearly startled back then. Even if Spencer had found out, would it really matter? Was their relationship something to be so shameful about?
He even told Spencer I was in the shower!
Now I have to hide in here for a few more minutes.
She unlocked her phone and opened her WhatsApp conversation with Phyllis right away. Despite. having sent numerous texts, the latter had yet to reply.
Melanie had asked Phyllis if she could go home for a meal in the next couple of days. The older woman must have seen the messages but chose not to respond.
She deserves to be nothing more than a country bumpkin!
Instead of thinking about how to care for her own daughter, she gives all her love to Aurelia?
She’ll regret it one day!
Over an hour later, Aaron and Melanie arrived at the hospital.
Standing in front of the ward, Benjamin scowled upon seeing the two of them. “What took guys so long?”

“We were so worried about Mom that we couldn’t sleep well last night,” Aaron answered with a feeble excuse..
Luna’s condition was already beyond saving, and she was destined to be bedridden for life. She couldn’t be left alone and needed constant care. Wishing otherwise was pointless; it was better to accept the situation.

Benjamin’s expression darkened considerably, as if he had seen right through both of them. “I’ll be back again, same time tomorrow.”
Then, he stood up, ready to leave.
After taking a couple of steps, he recalled something and turned to them. “Spencer and I have
come up with a plan to persuade Aurelia to come back and take care of Mom. I hope you guys can cooperate when the time comes.
Naturally, Aaron agreed. “Whatever you need us to do, just let us know in advance.”
“Sure thing, Benjamin,” Melanie added obediently.
“Im off.”
Subsequently, the pair entered the ward. Their gaze fell on Luna, who lay in bed looking pallid and grim.
“How are you feeling today, Mom?” Melanie asked gently.
“How dare you ask me how I am?” Luna roared in anger. “I’ve lost my legs and am bound to lie in bed until the day I die! This is what you’re all waiting for, isn’t it? Well, I won’t grant you that satisfaction! Look at you two, showing up late just so you don’t have to take care of me, huh?”
The car accident had opened her eyes to the true nature of her family.
They had absolutely no patience for her; instead, they all kept a distance
now.
Then, there was Melanie, who used to call her the best mother in the world and always insisted on being a filial child. Yet, the way she had treated her the past few days reflected otherwise.
Not only that, but her three sons constantly looked upset, as if they were the ones who had been amputated.
The worst of them all was her husband, Gideon, who hadn’t visited her these past few days. Even if the company matters were challenging, surely he could spare some time to see her, couldn’t
he?
They’re all full of excuses!
Only now did she realize how wonderful Aurelia was. Over the past few days, she found herself thinking more frequently about previous events. When she was sick, Melanie would offer her words of concern, but it was Aurelia who genuinely sought ways to alleviate her discomfort.
As a result, she felt at that time that Aurelia was only being meddlesome and lacked the charm that Melanie had to win people’s hearts.
Melanie’s eyes welled up with tears as she turned to Aaron with a wronged expression. “Aaron, I… I didn’t mean to upset Mom. I was just worried about her, so I asked how she was doing.”
She used to be such an elegant, wealthy lady. Now, she’s no different from a shrew.

She should’ve just died in that accident!
I’m sure everyone in the family thinks the same way.

Aaron furrowed his brows instantly. “Mom, how could you say such things about Mel? Ever since your accident, she’s been crying almost every day while worrying about your health and thinking. of ways to cheer you up. Is this how you treat her in return? Can’t you be a little more. reasonable?”
“You!” Luna was seething with rage.
So, everything was her fault now?
“I don’t want any of you here. Get me Aurelia! I refuse to see anyone but her now!” She had only one demand now, and it was to see Aurelia.
Melanie let out a helpless sigh. “Mom, we’ve been doing our best to find Aurelia. But… she simply doesn’t care about you. She even went off on a vacation the day after your surgery. It’s pretty clear she has no intention of taking care of you.”
“Tell her to come over! Even if she doesn’t want to, find a way to get her here!” Luna insisted, disregarding any objections.
For some reason, a voice kept echoing in her mind, telling her that Aurelia had to come.
With a somber expression, Aaron answered helplessly, “We’ll do our best.”
As soon as Aurelia and Matthew arrived Jacaster Airport and got off the plane, someone from the Quigley residence came to pick them up.
They were both escorted directly to the mansion.
Mabel beamed at them. “Did you two have fun?” she asked, her voice laced with happiness.
