Aaron rushed to Julia’s flat quickly. But he didn’t see Julia or Edie. So he went back to ask more n to co here.
When he ca back, Marina was waiting at the door. Seeing him, she asked imdiately,
"Aaron, what happened to Edie? Do you have any news?"
"Why are you here? You should stay in the hospital now. Do you know it is so dangerous outside at this point? You should not walk outside alone."
Seeing Marina, Aaron frowned. He imdiately asked his n to protect Marina and her sister, especially Marina.
Aaron never expected he would see Marina again like this. It was hard to describe his feeling at the mont. It was really complicated.
Marina smiled. Those wounds on her face made her look weird. But everyone would say her smile was so peaceful and warm.
"I am fine. Ghost cos back with . I am a doctor. I can take care of Ghost. I won’t be hurt while staying with him. Do you hear anything about Edie? I am so worried about her. I know Julia well. After she realized everything, she would get mad. I am really worried about Edie. She might even be killed."
"Don’t worry. No one knows what happened there. But believe , I can handle it. All you need to do now is to recover here. I’ve already asked a dietitian to help you. You would recover soon. "Aaron said.
Marina smiled and shook her head slightly. She wanted to tell Aaron she was fine. He didn’t have to worry about her.
Marina knew her own physical condition. She has been tortured for a long ti. She could no longer recover.
All she wished for was to protect her sister.
"Okay. I want to check my sister now. Tell when you hear anything about Edie, okay?"
"Okay."
Then, Marina turned around and left. But Aaron suddenly said behind her. Aaron sounded guilty.
"Marina, do you hate ? If I hadn’t kidnapped you that year, Julia would not be able to do anything to you. Maybe. You are still a happy girl now."
"Aaron, this is none of your business. You don’t have to feel guilty. If you didn’t kidnap , Julia would find another way to catch and torture . The result is the sa, "Marina said in an indifferent voice. Aaron didn’t feel any hatred from her voice.
But Aaron beca a little excited.
"I know. I know there is such a possibility. But the fact is that it is that caused your tragedy. You were tortured for so many years because of my capriciousness. I threw you into the ocean. Do you have any idea how regretful and guilty I am now? I even wish it is ... that died. Marina, I think you might know I have a crush on you. If you don’t hate , could you get married to ? Please let take care of you."
Aaron said in such a soft voice, like a little kid begging for sothing. He was begging to Marina to allow him to atone for his cri.
Hearing his words, Marina signed and turned towards him.
"You had a crush on that year. What about now?"
"I....I..." Aaron faltered out several words, staring at Marina dumbly.
"I’ve known your answer. You never fall in love with . Perhaps....you’ve known who you really love. You approach because of Stuart, right? Actually, you never fell in love with . Perhaps you did have a crush on because of Stuart. The one you really care about is Stuart, your elder brother. Have you realized that?"
"I know...but...it is love between brothers. It is not romantic love. I can tell the difference between them."
Aaron rubbed his hair helplessly and said.
Marina smiled slightly. She looked at Aaron gently, as if he was a little kid that just made a little mistake in front of her.
"Those closely involved cannot see clearly. The one you love deeply is Edie, right? I can see that. You look so worried about her right now."
"Perhaps it is also because of my elder brother," Aaron said confusingly.
Love...
Sotis it was quite interesting.
"You like , so you want to get . You love Edie, so you decide to let her go. Don’t you see the difference?"
Marina said in a low voice. Only two of them heard the voice. Hearing Marina’s words, Aaron froze in astonishnt.
He might not know what love was until Marina told him this today.
"Aaron, you want to get married to because you feel guilty. If you really want to help , please promise ."
"What? I would do my best to help you."
Aaron said imdiately.
Marina shook her head slightly and said, "You don’t have to do your best. I want you to rember. I am Marina, but I am not the Marina you knew many years ago. I don’t know Stuart. I only know my sister. I would not bother anyone else now."
"You an...you don’t want to interfere with their life?"
Hearing this, Aaron frowned slightly. He suddenly realized Stuart would not leave Marina alone if he knew she was still alive. But that would hurt Edie’s feeling.
But, if Stuart didn’t do anything to help Marina, he would feel so guilty. He was a man. He would definitely take responsibility. But that would hurt either one or the other.
"If...you’ve made the decision to make a sacrifice for them, why don’t you say yes to . I don’t love you now, but I believe I would fall in love with you. I would love you this ti. Not because of Stuart. I would fall in love with you because I want to take care of you."
"So you want to get married to and spend the rest of your life staying with because of your guilt? This is called charity. I would not accept it. I have self-esteem. "Marina refused Aaron imdiately in a cold voice. Though her voice was low, Aaron could felt her determination.
Even though she was disfigured and experienced all those terrible things these years, and she was still a proud girl. She would not still refuse all charity and sympathy from others. Without that, she could still live a good life.
She was like a rose in the rain. Though all its petals fell, its stem was still standing there straightly.
"No matter what, all I want is a chance. Please give a chance. Guilty...what is wrong with guilty. I would try my best to fall in love with you. I would fall in love with you. I promise."
Aaron held her hands imdiately. But Marina stepped backward imdiately.
Aaron’s hands froze in the air. He felt lost.
Marina’s eyes were covered with a layer of cold frost. She said word by word with determination,
"Aaron, I don’t need you to swear to fall in love with . You don’t love . Neither do I. You don’t have to do this at all. You would find the girl you love. But that is not ."
Then, Marina turned around without any hesitation, leaving Aaron a cold back.
