Aria Rhodes heard Ronia Ackerly’s words, quickly put the phone aside, and carefully helped Ronia up. But as soon as Ronia moved, her head hurt intensely, her face too, and her eardrums buzzed loudly. That vile woman Yvonne Rhodes, she will never let her go! Ronia was both furious and angry, and the more her head ached, the more her face contorted, with the anger and hatred growing stronger. Aria saw it and said anxiously: "Mom, what’s wrong with you? Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?" "I... Aria is scared..." Finally, after helping Ronia to sit at the bedside, Aria couldn’t hold back her tears. Ronia leaned against the bedside, recovering from the intense pain, and upon hearing Aria’s words, opened her eyes to see the tear-filled face. "How is everything alright? Mom, you don’t know how pale you look now. Aria has never seen you . What exactly happened?" "Who treated you , where’s Dad?" Aria voiced many of the questions in her heart, Ronia turned her head, her expression sank. "It’s Yvonne, I angered that old fool into the hospital." Aria’s face changed in an instant: "Grandfather... Grandfather went to the hospital?" She hadn’t heard a bit of news, could it be that the Rhodes Family kept it from her? Aria felt panicked, just felt her heart racing, as if something was about to happen. "Mom, you... how is Grandfather now?" Ronia sneered, hoped he was alive. Otherwise, how would she save Julian? Thinking about this, Ronia looked outside at the sky, it was still bright, not knowing what time it was. Thinking of this, her heart tightened, she immediately looked at Aria: "Who brought me back? How long have I slept?" Her expression was a bit anxious, because if she slept a long time, that would be trouble. Read complete version only at ɴovelfire.net There wasn’t much time for Julian, she couldn’t waste any. Aria saw the obvious change in Ronia’s expression, not knowing what Ronia was thinking, while she had many questions to ask, but now Ronia’s expression made her suppress all her doubts and said: "The bodyguards, they brought you back and are guarding outside, not letting us go out." "I asked who brought you back, the bodyguards said it was the Rhodes Family, and when I asked more, they wouldn’t answer me." After saying this, Aria picked up her phone to check the time, then said to Ronia: "Mom, you’ve slept for three hours." Listening to Aria’s sentence after sentence, especially the last one, three hours, Ronia’s heart was relieved. But quickly, she pulled off the quilt and got out of bed. She needed to go to the hospital, she was going to cause a scene, she wanted the Rhodes Family to save her Julian. Of course, there’s also Poe Vaughn. Poe Vaughn, that bastard, seemed to be raised in the Vaughn Family, having no relation with the Rhodes Family, but he’s always respected that old fool. This time, the old fool was angered into the hospital by her, he’s sure to go. She wanted both the Vaughn Family and the Rhodes Family to find a way for her, to save her son. Otherwise, she would make a scene, no one would have peace! But, Ronia overestimated herself, or she forgot her current condition; as soon as she moved, her head hurt severely, even causing her to fall backward. Aria noticed and quickly rushed to support her: "Mom, what do you want to do, tell Aria, Aria will do it." Ronia, supported by Aria, felt the headache worsening than before, wave after wave, like someone was stirring knives in her brain. But now, even if she was in pain, she had to go to the hospital. She held Aria’s hand tighter, urgently said: "We’re going to the hospital, we need to go now." "Poe Vaughn, that bastard, those disgusting people from the Rhodes Family, they’re all in the hospital, we need to go to the hospital, I must make them save Julian!" Ronia, enduring the pain, insisted on going to the hospital. Aria heard her words, especially the term "bastard", her brow slightly wrinkled. Poe Vaughn was not a bastard, he was someone unmatched by many. But Aria didn’t say anything; at a time , she pressed down her irritation and helped Ronia out of bed. "Mom, we can’t go to the hospital, there are bodyguards outside guarding us, we can’t leave." In the past, she might have truly gone with Ronia to the hospital. But Ronia’s words earlier, those calling Poe Vaughn a "bastard," decided she wouldn’t follow her to the hospital; if they went, it’d be Ronia alone. If Poe Vaughn were in the hospital, if Ronia publicly cursed Poe Vaughn as a bastard, then she’d be finished and shouldn’t think of anything else. She wouldn’t be so foolish to follow Ronia in causing a scene. "What do bodyguards matter? Can they restrict my freedom?" Ronia wasn’t afraid of the bodyguards; this was a society governed by laws, what could the Rhodes Family do? Could they block out the sky? No! Thus, Ronia told Aria: "Aria, call the police." "Call the police now, tell them there’s a burglary, have the police come over." Aria’s heart tightened upon hearing Ronia’s suggestion, saying: "Mom, this would be false reporting, we can’t do that." "What false reporting?" "Could it be the Rhodes Family sent bodyguards not to cause us trouble?" Ronia glared at Aria for a moment, her eyes crimson, her face twisted with pain, appearing extremely terrifying. Aria was frightened by Ronia’s look, she quickly shook her head: "Not at all, Mom, and brother is still abroad, we need help from the Rhodes Family. If we call the police, they certainly won’t help save him." Ronia laughed and touched Aria’s face, saying affectionately: "Aria, my naive daughter, you don’t understand, the Rhodes Family won’t help us." "If I don’t find a way, don’t use this chance to make a scene, they truly won’t do a thing." "They don’t recognize me, or you and Julian, they wish for Julian to have trouble abroad." "To them, Julian’s completely insignificant, they have Poe Vaughn, that bastard." "They only acknowledge Poe Vaughn." "At times , how can mom not make a scene?" "Sweet daughter, quickly take out your phone, call the police." "Today is almost over, your brother doesn’t have much time left; hurry." Ronia smiled, but the smile was frightening. Aria knew she couldn’t stop Ronia now. Ronia was determined on her path to the hospital; she had to go, undoubtedly. For Julian’s sake, she ignored everything else. "I’ll call, I’m calling now." Aria took out her phone and called the police. Ronia watched, laughed softly. And the more she laughed, the deeper the hatred on her face became. At a time , for Julian, she was willing to do anything. As long as Julian could return safely, she feared nothing. But once Julian was back, everything would be different. Until then, she could withstand any disgrace, any beating, but afterward, she would return it a thousand times over. She, Ronia, wasn’t someone to be easily humiliated!
