Chapter 283 - Why Did She Lie?
Soon the mall staff told them about the ambulance arrival so Naomi took Aaron\'s blazer and rushed out with them. Aaron was about to stop Naomi to take his mobile to call Aarvi but Lara\'s parents noticed and identified Aaron.
"Doctor Rivas… Doctor Rivas, please save our daughter. Please don\'t let anything happen to her, we beg of you…"
As a doctor, it\'s his responsibility to give them hope even though he was angry at them for their way of taking care of Lara.
While he tried to calm them, Naomi saw Aarvi running away in front of them towards the other end of the floor with a man next to her.
Her eyes brightened thinking she was with a man, she wanted to show them to Aaron to add some misunderstanding between them but looking at the worry of Aarvi, she quickly changed her plans.
"Aaron, we should hurry up, you can talk to them on the way. Let\'s go, fast…" She pressed them to leave from there quickly before Aarvi\'s eyes could land on them.
He stretched his hand at her, "My mobile."
Naomi was jelly hearing him. She didn\'t want him to call Aarvi and hear the unreachable response. Will he stay back in the mall for Aarvi? No, Naomi didn\'t want that to happen
She quickly thought of a lie. "Don\'t worry, I had called Ms. Evans, she asked us to carry on." Instead of handing him mobile, she continued to rush him towards the exit.
Aaron was about to demand coldly, a melodious voice soon rang with a worrisome and also relief, "Aaron…"
Naomi didn\'t want to face Aarvi and Aaron together so she cussed Aarvi and behaved dumb and deaf as she ran out seemingly concerned about the little one knowing Aaron will go to the hospital.
Aaron turned around and saw Aarvi faintly smiling in relief running towards him.
They hadn\'t rested properly the previous night, Aaron didn\'t want Aarvi to see Lara and become sleepless. He wanted to go to the hospital to arrange top-notch surgeons for little Lara who always made Aarvi happy.
Deciding to tell Aarvi about Lara after her health stabilizes, he instructed mall staff to leave quickly, "I will inform at the hospital, make it quick, don\'t waste time anywhere."
He turned to Aarvi, he craved to embrace her but didn\'t have time so he held her arms to balance her. He felt bad for ditching their date again and he was also thankful that she will understand him if he leaves for the hospital so he didn\'t worry about Aarvi getting mad.
But to avoid Aarvi reading him worried and ask about the patient, he quickly minimized the words assuming Aarvi was thereafter talking with Naomi, "Aarvi, the patient looks very critical, I will tell you later about it. Go home, I will be back soon."
He nodded at Alex to keep her safe till she reached the Avron mansion before patting her arm and left.
Probably he should have looked at her properly but he was blinded by the thought of seeing her in pain if she looked at Lara or watching her worriedly wait at the hospital till she hears about Lara.
He just wanted to make sure Lara isn\'t critical and Aarvi should be in relief when he tells about Lara.
...
At the Rivas hospital,
Lara had lost lots of blood. Her father had the same blood type and was eligible to donate, the doctors arranged for it quickly and started the treatment.
Lara had broken her arms, as soon as she had fallen, she had instinctively covered her arms around her head causing most of the damage direct towards her hands, her knees were injured but not damaged, her face had wounds and the head was severly hurt, it was still unknown if her brain was damaged by the impact.
It was already a miracle that little one was able to survive the fall.
Aaron was exhausted after a long day and he was worried so he didn\'t take the risk. He had summoned the respective surgeons and the case was high profiled so the top-notch well-experienced nurses and assistant surgeons were present.
All Lara\'s parents did was sign the permission paper and wait anxiously.
Aaron tried to call Aarvi multiple times but her number was unreachable, he was about to call Alex, he appeared next to him and started briefing everything that happened at the mall.
Aaron understood the strong presence he had behind him when he stuffed the popcorn and drinks was Leon Harmon. He could guess Leon wanted to greet him but Aaron hadn\'t checked him out.
His mouth went dry hearing Alex clearly speak about Aarvi\'s every reaction and struggles including her palpitation.
He dismissed Alex before slumping on the chair behind him. It was of no use to search her when she hid. It wasn\'t impossible to find her, he will have to take the whole city under control and deploy all his men.
Probably it would still be difficult, he could manage to find her location but she wouldn\'t be pleased with that. If in case she really wants to stay away from him, she could easily ambush and she had that power.
All he could do now was wish her to be safe and return soon.
He had many uncertainties, did he give too much priority to his career than his Cupcake? Why didn\'t he read her when she stood right in front of him? How could he think of coming times and ignore the present?
If he had told her it\'s Lara, he could have helped Aarvi recover from palpitation and be with her if she wanted to wait for Lara\'s surgery to complete. Trying to avoid the new pain and sadness, how could he leave her to suffer?
He should have just thrown the popcorn and drink aside, why did he have to stuff it to somebody\'s hand?
She was free to give him time, and he was giving her nothing but back-to-back pain, discomfort.
He couldn\'t believe when she needed him the most, he left her alone.
\'Is this the despair Grandfather Kelly went through?\' They both went behind the work and failed to discern what she was going through. She was still the same, she let them do what they wanted and endured herself.
Aaron didn\'t know who exactly should be corrected. Improve her ways of dealing with things and ask her to speak about her problems.
But all she did was to let them do what they wanted, will she really change?
Should they have a little more patience facing her and hear her first?
Yeah, he got it right. If he had just given her a few seconds to speak or probably gave her a hug, the situation would be a whole lot different now.
But he couldn\'t understand one thing, he wasn\'t in an unreachable area, why was he unreachable to Aarvi? Didn\'t Naomi speak to Aarvi?
Naomi Fisher!
He grabbed his blood-stained blazer and stormed out of the observation to go to the Fisher family villa to meet Naomi Fisher.
He clearly remembers Naomi telling him as \'Don\'t worry, I had called Ms. Evans, she asked us to carry on.\'
Why did she lie?
