Chapter 1000 Extra Story 138 Of Aaron Dryness

Now that Hugo's location was determined, they only had one problem to solve: how to let Aaron know that they were successful.

Looking at the "Y" that was still flickering on the screen, Brian thought hard. If he tried to contact Aaron again through the wireless communicator, Hugo would be able to hear in and know what they had done. If that happened, he might be determined to take further action, an action that would inevitably make the situation worse. If, instead of doing that, he decided to sent somebody to go to QY Island in person in order to inform Aaron, it would obviously take a certain period of time, during which the situation might change. Time is something none of them could control, and gambling that would mean a higher risk for the whole operation.

While he was thinking about the options, the fixed-line telephone in his office rang.

Brian withdrew his thoughts for the time being and picked up the phone, placing the receiver by his ear.

"Brian," Shawn's voice came through on the phone, "why couldn't I contact you through your cellphone?"

"It was hacked..." Brian replied in an indifferent tone, as if that was none of Shawn's business.

"Ahaha," Shawn's harsh laughter came through from the other end of the line. "Oh my God! Did I hear you correctly? Aha... You were hacked? Ahaha!"

Hearing that, Brian's eyed narrowed. Rolling his eyes, he warned, "If you want to die, you may choose to go on laughing."

"Ahem—" Shawn sounded like he choked on his own saliva. Looking at the flight attendant who was staring at him, he pretended to cough for a second and then asked, "Has anything happened in QY Island?" Just as the flight attendant was about to answer him, the plane's pilot suddenly made an announcement. While listening to what the captain of the airplane was saying, Shawn frowned slightly. "The airplane is circling in the air for quite a while. It seems that it can't land," he said to Brian on the phone.

Hearing that, Brian took furrowed his eyebrows as well. "Why are you going to QY Island?" he asked. He hadn't assigned any task to him that would take him to the said island, as far as he remembered.

Shawn chuckled on the phone and then answered, "Nothing in particular. I had nothing to do and got a little bit bored, so I decided to go buy plane tickets online, and now I'm here, up in the air!"

"I see you're chased by Yuri again. Am I right?"

"Ahem—" Shawn once again sounded like his lungs were being pulled out of his body. "What on earth is happening?" he once again asked. "It's really not a pleasure to stay inside a plane that cannot land."

"It's great that you're in QY Island!" Brian said in a somewhat surprised tone, though it quickly changed to all serious business. "I will get in contact with the control tower and give the captain of the airplane a landing signal. Later I will send some action codes to you. You play it by ear..."

"Okay!" Shawn answered.

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

Aaron sat down opposite to Ximena. Looking at her face, which looked gaunt as a result of both the previous fever and the incident that had happened earlier, he felt great pity for her, and it was clearly seen in his eyes. Raising one of his hands, he slid his fingers across Ximena's skin, which was still a little hotter than normal, and gently called out her name. "Ximena..."

Ximena didn't respond to him at all. She just looked ahead blankly and without focus. It was as if she was frozen. A person's capacity to tolerate anything was limited. Once a person found out that the happiness he or she had thought he or she had possessed was based on lies, he or she would no longer be strong as he or she had always been. It was not until now that Ximena knew that she was such a person.

"Ximena..." Aaron called her name again in a voice that indicated that he was putting a restraint on his emotions. Seeing that Ximena still didn't respond to him at all, he sighed. Suddenly, he stretched his arms and held her into his tight embrace. "Ximena, please don't be like this. Okay? Everything will have a solution," he said softly.

Ximena didn't move. She just let Aaron whisper by her ear. With the familiar voice, the familiar embrace, the familiar body note... she closed her swollen eyes and began to breathe deeply.

Aaron pursed his lips into a straight line. Tightening his hug, he rested his cheeks onto her head, slightly rubbing it on her hair, as if consoling her. Continuing, he said, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Ximena felt the hot air from Aaron's mouth around her ear as he spoke those things. Hearing his deep and magnetic voice, she felt as if it was hard to breath. Taking quicker deep breaths, she opened her eyes slowly. With her red swollen eyes, she looked at Aaron directly, and said, with her dry, coarse voice, "You have known that she is my mother since the very beginning. Am I right?

Answer me!"
