Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Why is He Here?

’When the Young Master fainted yesterday, the worry and anxiety in the Young Madam’s eyes were so obvious.’

’The eyes can’t lie...’

But now... The butler didn’t know what to say.

Leona Grant exhaled, his voice sharp. "Do I have to drag it out of you word by word!?"

"..." The butler pursed his lips. "She’s at The Borealis Grand Hotel. But, Young Master... I think there might be a misunderstanding. You should..."

"Hah."

Hearing this, a tremor ran through Leona Grant’s heart. ’A misunderstanding? I’ll find out if it’s a misunderstanding once I see for myself, won’t I?’

’I’m not going to rely on my own imagination. I’ll know everything once I get there!’

"Get the car!"

"Yes..."

...

「In the hotel.」

Annabelle Linton woke up in a daze, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with confusion...

’What’s going on? Where am I...’

She let out a few weak coughs. Just as she was about to get out of bed, she saw Aaron Wyatt walking out of the bathroom.

Seeing him, Annabelle Linton’s expression grew complicated.

Whether she thought of their past or their present circumstances, she didn’t know how to face him.

’Sigh.’

Annabelle Linton lowered her gaze, intending to get out of bed, when she suddenly noticed she was wearing a bathrobe. Her eyes widened in shock.

"A female doctor helped you change," Aaron Wyatt walked over to her side. "You have a serious cold, and you were caught in the rain. Annabelle, when will you finally learn to take care of yourself?"

Annabelle Linton fell silent.

Aaron Wyatt sighed, pulled over a chair, and sat down in front of her without a word.

The two of them sat in silence.

After a moment, Aaron Wyatt smiled and said softly, "Annabelle, how have you been lately?"

’Well?’

’Not at all.’

Annabelle Linton managed a faint smile. "Not bad. And you?"

"Not well."

She nodded. ’I knew it. How could he be doing well?’

’And it was all my fault.’

Annabelle Linton lowered her gaze, pursing her lips before finally saying, "I’m sorry."

"You don’t have to say you’re sorry. You’ve never wronged anyone. The only person you’ve ever wronged is yourself."

Aaron Wyatt looked at her, his expression complex, before his voice grew heavy. "Annabelle, the doctor said you have a cold and fever, and that your immune system is very weak. What have you been doing to yourself?"

The rims of Annabelle Linton’s eyes reddened, and a bitter sorrow welled up in her heart.

’I haven’t done anything to myself. I’m dying. I’m going to leave this world... leave Leona Grant.’

Watching her, Aaron Wyatt’s own heart ached. He leaned forward and gently wrapped his arms around her.

Annabelle Linton’s body went rigid, and she immediately tried to push him away.

Her small gesture sent a pang through Aaron Wyatt’s heart. He gave a bitter smile. "I’m just giving you a hug. As a friend."

Annabelle Linton didn’t know what to do.

In that moment, she realized just how much she truly loved Leona Grant.

’In the past, she and Aaron Wyatt had been so close. No matter how intimate they were, it never felt wrong. But now, she resisted even a simple hug.’

’The instant Aaron hugged her, her first thought was that Leona Grant would be upset if he saw them.’

’She really...’ 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"BANG—"

Just as Annabelle Linton was lost in thought, the door was kicked open from the outside!

The first thing Leona Grant saw was Annabelle Linton on the bed, wrapped in Aaron Wyatt’s arms.

And Annabelle Linton was wearing a bathrobe!

The sight was a dagger to Leona Grant’s eyes!

Annabelle Linton’s head snapped up, her gaze locking with Leona Grant’s dark, stormy face. It was the most furious expression she had ever seen him wear.

She stared at him, and her heart skipped a beat.

’What is he doing here?’
