287: GLAD ABOUT YOU L


    LUKE’S POV


    “Enough!” The great–aunt Liliana barked at me, her eyes moving with anger, and she gave me a hard


    p on the face. It was painful, no doubt about that. And right now, I was boiling with anger. I was all


    steamed up, her actions were just so, not it. I didn’t even know what to say. Didn’t know the words to


    use.

    She pped me! Like she pped me! How the hell would she do such a thing? How in the world


    would she even think about it? This woman had really gone too far, crossed her


    limits, everything getting kind of crazy, creepy, and terrible.


    Someone needed to remind this canon ball that this wasn’t her house, and she had no single property


    here. She kept on iming shit, which was absolutely irritating every single time. Like, I just felt like


    grabbing some knives and cutting her lips off. She shouldn’t be allowed to speak, because only poison


    flowed out of her mouth. There were no great words being vocalized by her, and her presence


    invariably killed the happiness of every


    single individual.


    Now she stood here, had the guts to raise her hand at me. The boldness, the audacity, the nerve,


    everything. Oh god! She was a pain in the ass, and I think it was high time I kick this woman out of my


    house. She wasn’t helpful anyway. But if she had justposed herself, and behaved like someone


    with senses, I probably won’t be this infuriated.


    “What did you just do?” I quizzed my great–aunt slowly, my tone was calm, but harsh, and even in such


    soft mode, you could hear the bitterness. It was so clear, like really clear.


    “You’re asking me that like I’m scared of you. Well I am not, and if you keep on acting like this, I’m


    going to get your ass broken.”


    Iughed, looking in a different direction. “Should I start crying because of what you said? Like, do you


    want me to start begging you?”


    “You need to be more respectful, Luke.”


    “And you need to mind your own business,” I retorted. “It’s really funny that you’de into my room


    so early in the morning, just to start an argument. You’re not wee here.”


    “But here I am, standing in the room,” she spoke incontinently. What was she feeling like?


    “Because I let you. I can just throw you out right now, or even worse, I can kick you out of..


    this house.”


    “You wouldn’t dare.”


    “Don’t tempt me.”


    “Idiot!” She snapped.


    “Look, I have a business meeting to attend. And I’m afraid I’ll arrivete if I continue this silly fight. You


    know, people just keep on wasting their time, arguing with It’s


    you. pointless, and it just reduces the mentality. You can leave now.” I gestured towards the


    door at the end.


    She red at me for what seemed like an eternity, leisurely no in closer. And I didn’t even know why


    she was following through with that. But I tell you this, I was fully prepared to push her away. Let her fall


    to the floor and bleed to death, or whatever. That would be


    none of my concern.


    “I will leave. But not because you told me,” she whispered.


    “I don’t care. Just get out.”


    “I will make you pay for these insults,” she threatening me, raising her finger at me.


    “Go ahead, do whatever you want. But just get out of my room right now.” I gestured


    towards the door again.


    With her eyes still fixed at me, and giving me that malevolent expression, she stormed out


    of the room. Granny problems.


    ARIEL’S POV


    So, the terrible moment with Laura had taken ce, and she was the only one who left for the meeting.


    I still couldn’t understand that woman. But insulting her wouldn’t be the right thing to do. I would still be


    grateful because she saved my life. I might not be standing here today if it was because of her. So,


    yeah, I still had that gratitude.


    I had decided to go pay Andre a visit at the hospital. You know, to check up on him and all that. So,


    making my way through the automatic doors, the smell of disinfectant and the constant beeping of


    machines filled the air. I traipsed to the front desk and the


    receptionist was settled down right there.


    I


    “Excuse me, I would like to meet Andre please. Andre Jones,” I said to the receptionist.


    She


    She looked up from herputer screen and smiled at me. “I’m sorry, but Mr. Jones has been


    discharged. He left just a little while ago.”

    “He left a while ago?” I asked, raising an eyebrow and she nodded, stop smiling.“Do your perhaps


    know where he went?”


    The receptionist shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t. But he should still be in the building somewhere.


    Maybe you can try looking around?”


    “Okay, thank you,” I told her, and started walking down the long corridors, my eyes. scanning each door


    for any sign of Andre. The hospital was bustling with activity, nurses.


    and doctors rushing past me, patients being wheeled from one room to another.


    Still making my way through the maze of hallways, I almost collided with a woman in a


    wheelchair. I quickly stepped aside, apologizing profusely. Thedy in the wheelchair


    smiled kindly at me and the woman pushing her gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder.


    “It’s alright, dear. No harm done,” the woman in the wheelchair said with a chuckle.


    I continued on, my heart sinking with each passing moment. So, Andre had actually left. That was nice.


    Finally, it was back to business. So happy for him, but he hadn’t gone that far, had he?


    As I was about to leave the hospital, I caught sight of someone standing not too far away. My heart


    skipped a beat when I realized it was Andre. I quickened my pace and when I


    reached him, I threw my arms around him in a tight hug.


    “Andre, I’m d you’re finally better.”


    He chuckled and hugged me back. “I’m fine, Ariel. Thanks for alwaysing to see me.”


    I pulled back and looked up at him, taking in his smiling face. “Well, I barely came here.”


    “It’s okay, at least you showed up.” He grinned. “And by the way, the doctors here did ant amazing job.


    I’m just grateful to be alive.”


    “You know, Ariel. I do owe you big time.”


    “How, exactly?” asked slowly.


    “Foring to see me. Do you have any idea how much it means to me?”


    I couldn’t help but smile at him. Andre had always been a great man. He was so nice to the extent that I


    started wondering if he was one of God’s angels in Heaven, disguised as an angel right here. To all the


    ladies, if any of you are searching for a partner, don’t stress yourself too much. Just go pick Andre.


    “Andre. I so much appreciate you always being lovely to me.”

    “You’re a great friend, Ariel. I’ll do anything to see you smile.


    “Thanks.” I kept on smiling at him.


    “Yeah, but I’ve got a question.”
