202 CHAPTER 202: OVERLY SENSITIVE

She walked to the parking lot with a heavy heart. Although Silver didn't catch her, the mere thought of knowing a very tragic story was too much to bear for her. who would ever think that such a sad story exists and that a kind man like Rio was the fate's victim? Does he even deserve such a thing? She heaved a heavy sigh.

Unknown to her, a fuming man was standing beside her car, waiting impatiently for her. she must have felt a cold gaze spiraling within her so she looked straight and was surprised to see a man throwing daggers.

"E-Ethan! How did…"

"Get in at once before they even see you here." Ethan coldly interrupted her.

She jolted to hear an aloof man. well, what did she expect? Of course, she knew why Ethan was behaving this way. She silently entered the passenger seat while Ethan went to the driver's seat.

Ethan drove away from the hospital indifferently. Once in a while, Aisha glance at him while getting the courage to speak up.

"Ethan, I'm sorry." she muttered.

However, she didn't receive any response from the man. the whole drive was filled with awkward silence.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

After a few more minutes, they arrived at Rio's mansion. Ethan had parked the car at the garage but seems like no one wants to get off the car.

"Get out." he emotionlessly uttered.

"Ethan…" Aisha looked at him. "Are we really going to part ways like this?" she was a bit annoyed. She knew she doesn't have the right to be upset since it was her fault to begin with but the mere fact that Ethan doesn't want to speak up drives her mad.

"What do you want me to do just so I could get to you?" she blurted.

"It doesn't make sense and it doesn't matter anyway. you always do things your way so what's there to talk to?" Ethan was looking outside the window.

"I said I'm sorry!" she yelped.

"Your forgiven. Now get off the car."

"I won't unless you talk to me!" Aisha spoke with finality.

Ethan was trying to control his emotion at the moment. he doesn't want to have a fight with her nor raise his voice. he definitely understands the woman's audacity to enter the enemies' den but he was upset that she didn't even inform him nor Rio about her plans. So he got off the car voluntarily.

"Ethan!" Aisha followed him when she saw him got off the car and walked away.

"What do you expect me to say, Aisha? congratulations? Nice one? Job well done? Do you want to hear those stupid words from me?" Ethan blurted out.

Aisha lowered her head. She had condition herself to receive rebukes from him during their car ride.

"Aisha, I understand your eagerness to save your mom. But don't you have the common courtesy to tell us your plans? Am I that impotent for you to entrust your life to?"

"Ethan, you know that's not true." Aisha implored.

"So what's the truth then? Tell me. show me. cause base on what you are doing, it's a slap on my face that I can't even protect the woman I love the most. It is upsetting to think that my woman doesn't even trust me with her life."

Aisha felt a stirring throbbing in her heart. That's not true. It's not because she doesn't trust Ethan. She does, she definitely trusts him the most. She didn't inform him about it because she was just trying to check on something. it shouldn't be a big deal but it turns out to be.

"Ethan, I have never doubt the things that you can do for me. And if there's someone in the world I can fully entrust my life with, that would be you and my dad. I'm sorry, I was wrong not to inform you about what I did. But I was just trying to check something out. I want to confirm some things in my head. I was trying to weigh the situation if what I have in mind is a possible way to rescue Sherry. I want to be assured first before relaying it to you and dad. But I have never thought of fighting this battle alone because I know I couldn't win this without anyone's help. I'm really sorry." she shed a tear.

Ethan heaved a heavy sigh. This is one of the reason why he didn't want to have such discussion with her. Nowadays, she easily tears up. How on earth did she became so sensitive? He thought. the sight of the woman sobbing makes his heart aches so he slowly walked to where she was standing and cupped her with his arms. he hugged her tight.

Dang! why is she overly sensitive? His mind blurted.

"Shhh… it's okay." Ethan tried to calm her down. After a few minutes, her sobbing stopped so Ethan looked at her in the eyes. he then dried her wet cheeks with his fingers.

"Now go inside and talk to your dad. He must have been worrying for you since this morning." He softly voiced. The woman nodded in response.

"I'm sorry." she once again apologized with her head lowered down.

Ethan tenderly touch her jaw and raised her face to meet her eyes. he smiled and gently kissed the subtle woman. she tears up with the man's sudden action but she returned his kisses more passionately.

"Please don't do anything like that again in the future. I'm afraid I'd lose my sanity so soon and do things out of league." Ethan expressed.

Aisha nodded. "Ehm."

"Good girl. Now go inside and make sure to show yourself to Rio." he walked her until the house door.

"See you tomorrow?" Aisha asked.

"Call me anytime." He replied. The woman smiled and kissed him goodbye before entering the house. As soon as the door closed, Ethan called Larry to pick him up.

Meanwhile, Aisha strides the staircase going to his father's study room. The butler said that he's been there for how many hours now. she knocked on the door and when she didn't hear any response, she deliberately opened.

"Dad...?" Aisha called out but Rio didn't even bat an eyelid. He seemed busy reviewing some documents so Aisha waited patiently until he was done.

After a few hours, Rio stood up and walked pass her.

"Go back to your room and rest. I bet your tired." He emotionlessly uttered.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I didn't tell you because I still need to confirm some things. I was planning to tell you once I am sure of it. I'm sorry." she blurted at once.

Rio was already holding the doorknob. "You don't need to explain anything to me. who am to meddle with your affairs anyway?" then he exited the room.

Aisha was left dumbfounded. She was hurt of what she heard. Did she hurt him that much? Her guilt is now eating her. then she suddenly remembered what the doctor told her earlier.

"He loved your mother and he never stopped loving her. Rio, who chose not to marry any other women should be enough proof to you. So you should know that he is willing to save the woman whom he loves no matter how risky it is. Just trust him."

"Dad…" she whispered despondently.
