That remark of Ariellc's shocked Lawrence greatly. He thought that she was only willing to save his father because of Sonia's remarkable identity. I never expected her to actually have such kindness. Admittedly, I was indeed too shallow.
On the contrary, Aaron detested Arielle's attitude toward Sonia and Lawrence. He felt that she was too good to them compared to him, so he was secretly sulking.
“She performed an operation for several hours, so she undoubtedly hasn't eaten. I'll-" Before he had even finished speaking, Sonia happily said to Arielle, “Ms. Moore, I know of a restaurant near this hospital with plenty of delicious food. I'll bring you there for a meal!”
It so happened that Arielle wanted to build a close relationship with Sonia, for she wanted to look for her biological father through the latter. As such, she didn't turn her down.
“Sure!” Having said that with a smile, she went to change out of the surgical gown.
Sonia eagerly trailed after her. When Arielle came out after changing, Sonia took her arm with a bright smile on her face.
While Arielle was perturbed by it, she didn't push her away.
Meanwhile, Aaron's cold eyes narrowed into slits. Isn't she simply too ignorant? Can't she tell that I want to take Arielle out for a meal alone? What right does she have to snatch her away?
“Sonia, you've still got to take care of your grandfather, so I'll bring her out for a bite instead,” he offered with a dark expression on his face.
If it were in the past, Sonia would definitely be chagrined at Arielle if the man said that.
After such an incident that day, however, she felt that his words couldn't affect her in the slightest.
She, too, had presently grown to like Arielle.
Besides, there were many people taking care of her grandfather in the hospital, so her presence at that time made no difference. All she wanted was to have a meal with Arielle and get to know her better.
“Grandpa is still unconscious now, and it's uncertain when he'll regain consciousness. I'm not needed here, with my parents and the team of doctors and nurses keeping an eye on him. I'll treat Ms. Moore to a meal first before returning to the hospital after driving Ms. Moore back after the meal.”
