Chapter 1438 Opportunity Awaits
Since their first encounter in Chanaea, Vinson had been itching to hit Aaron but refrained from doing so
for Arielle’s sake. This time, he was not going to relinquish the opportunity so readily provided to him.
Vinson leaned back out of reach when the iing fist was inches from his jaw. At the same time, he
dragged Aaron up by the cor and took a few swings of his own at the prince’s face before dropping
him like a sack of bricks.
Aaron wiped the blood from his cracked lips with his thumb and stared at Vinson with murderous
hatred. Clenching his hands into fists, he made another lunge at Vinson.
Vinson continued to tilt his head to dodge the onught. Aaron turned around tounch a renewed
barrage against Vinson when thetter’s foot kicked at his stomach and found its mark with a sickening
thud. As he crumpled to the ground, Vinson capitalized on his advantage by aiming a few more kicks at
the same spot.
The bodyguard summoned by Aaron yelled for backup at the sight of their liege’s defeat. As he hurried
forward to help Aaron to his feet, the rest dashed toward Vinson in a swarm.
“Stop! Stop fighting!” Arielle cried.
Though she knew that Vinson was skilled enough to avoid sustaining injuries, she could not help
fearing for his safety.
Unfortunately, her voice was drowned in themotion of the fight. Losing her temper atst, she
joined in the brawl by pummeling the bodyguards with all the might her tiny fists could muster.
Having learned of their assignment at the hospital on the way there, the bodyguards were conflicted
when Arielle got herself involved.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Aaron was both jealous and worried for her safety when he saw her dive in to assist Vinson in staving
off his own men.
“Stop!” The brawl ceased abruptly at his order.
“Your wound is bleeding, Ari,” he continued. “I’ll have the nurse change the dressing for you.” Aaron’s
eyes were filled with distress.
Arielle could hardly spare a nce at her wound as she was fussing over the bruises on Vinson’s face.
“If you’vee here to make me angry,” she said to Aaron without looking at him, “Congrattions.
Mission aplished.”
If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have cooked for him and fed him on the ship.
“Ari…” Aaron did not expect his n to backfire. To his frustration, his original intention of assigning a
bodyguard to her had proved to be his undoing.
“Don’t call me again,” Arielle said coldly as she pointed to the door of the ward. “Please leave. I’m
afraid we can’t afford to be graced by your presence.”
“I’ll leave right now. Just don’t get too worked up. Remember to have your dressing changed and re-
bandaged.”
Aaron felt extremely insulted being subjected to such treatment by somebody beneath his station, even
more so in his own country. With a deep, meaningful gaze at Arielle, he gestured at his bodyguards in
the wake of his departure.
“I’m sorry for not protecting you well enough, Vinson,” Arielle whispered as she stroked Vinson’s
bruises tenderly.
Though she knew that Vinson was a formidable fighter, her heart still ached for the bruises he had
endured for her.
A warm feeling surged in Vinson’s chest when she said those words. This silly girl has an injury on her
arm, and she talks of protecting me.
His eyes were filled with distress at the sight of her arm. “Come, let’s get your dressing changed.”
Arielle nodded, and the couple went to the surgical department to get her soiled dressing changed
before having it firmly rebandaged.
Vinson had a gloomy expression on his face after returning to the ward, fretting about how he should
have beaten Aaron harder. Arielle was supposed to have her stitches removed two dayster before
being discharged from the hospital, but her wound had split open and swelled up to an rming degree
when Aaron grabbed it earlier.
