Chapter 39

Aidan stepped closer to Eliana such that he was towering over her petite stature with his great and formidable height - he leaned in such that he was just about two centimeters away from her face as he sneered, “Don’t you dare dub yourself Laura’s savior - you’re in no position to have any sort of say.” Eliana glared back at Aidan - even though she was not afraid of him, she did not want to provoke him further. Alas, despite this initial thought, Eliana later scoffed, “Yes, that’s right - isn’t it a pity, that filthy liver of mine in the body of your precious and pure white flower? Aren’t you worried that it might stain and corrupt her or something?” “How dare you…” Aidan looked like he was about to reach out to hit Eliana when Laura rushed forward to hold him back. “No, Aidan, please don’t hit Ellie,” Laura pleaded pitifully, “It’s perfectly reasonable for her to be mad at me...after all, I’m the one who’d taken her liver, even though I’d already said that I didn’t want it...I’m sorry, Ellie.” Eliana couldn’t help but barf internally at Laura’s facade - she did not utter a word and took a step back from the ‘match made in heaven’. The two of them...they make me sick. Just then, Robert walked in after ending a phone call - he stood behind Aidan and whispered into his ear - “Second Young Master, Priscilla has gone to Blanchard Garden.” Aidan’s face darkened at this - he shot a glare at Eliana before putting an arm around Laura and stalking out of the hospital. “Miss Harvey, please listen to me - don’t provoke Second Young Master and you’ll be alright,” Robert advised Eliana. Alas, Eliana couldn’t help but sigh internally - would that really change anything? No matter what I may do, Aidan’s still going to resent me… And so, Aidan, Laura, and Eliana left the hospital in separate cars, the former two in one and the latter in the other. Aidan and Laura’s car reached first - even though Laura had intended to spend some time with Aidan in the front yard for a while, the former had someone take her back to her room to rest as soon as they arrived. Knowing that she couldn’t disobey his orders, Laura had no choice but to oblige. Aidan then entered the living room with Robert, where Priscilla was waiting. Priscilla shot up from where she was seated as soon as she saw the former - she chided angrily, “Aidan, you know that your uncle’s company has been doing well working with the Niren Group - why did you do what you did to him?” Aidan walked over and sat down in front of her - “Remember the moment when you decided to get Bryan to mess with the alternative liver donor that I’d found?” he asked. “That was the moment that I decided to do what I did to him.” “Aidan, stop being so difficult,” Priscilla criticized, “Do you not understand why I did this? It was all for your own good!” Aidan glared at the latter coldly - “Sure,” he said sarcastically. “Of course it was for your own good - after all, Eliana has hurt you so much. She betrayed you when you were in the fire and had caused so much harm upon your family...yet, you remained passive. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands - so how could you try to get at me for what I did? I was merely trying to help you - Aidan, you yourself out of all people should know what’s good for you.” Aidan scoffed, “Sure.” Seeing that Aidan remained stubborn, Priscilla spat angrily, “Aidan, don’t be ungrateful - don’t make me do what I don’t want to do. What if I told you...that I would post pictures of that woman with the other man all over the Internet so that everyone would see how you’ve been made a cuckold, hmm?” Aidan’s face instantly darkened - “Pictures? What are you talking about?” Priscilla fished out a stack of pictures from the bag and hurled them onto the coffee table in response. Aidan swept his cold gaze over them - to his horror, in the picture was Eliana and the man whom she’d cheated on him with at the hotel where they’d been intimate. This was his first time seeing the other man’s face so clearly… The other man...he was plain and looked...greasy. Aidan couldn’t believe that Eliana would let such a disgusting-looking man go down on her...he couldn’t believe just how loose and promiscuous Eliana was… Robert couldn’t help but glance at Aidan nervously, worried that he would lose his cool and explode. Priscilla, on the other hand, was oblivious to the fact that her nephew was fuming, “You know, Aidan, if you weren’t my nephew, I would’ve…” “How did you get these pictures?” Aidan cut her off before she could finish her sentence. “Oh, I bought them from the man whom Eliana had cheated on you with himself,” Priscilla replied offhandedly. Aidan narrowed his eyes at this - “Where is this man now?”
