SWNOVELS Chapter 410
Chapter 410 Aaron Asks for Help
Colston's POV
When the phone rang, I was tidying up a tangle of patient cases on my desk
I was immersed in my work. When I caught a glimpse of the caller ID "Olive" on the phone screen, my heart skipped a beat
Thad heard about her recent situation. The breakdown of the cooperation between Lorna Jewelry Group and TWH and the fact that the two companies had taken it to court had been so heated that even the nurses in the department couldn't help but talk about that Aaron, the CEO of TWH, flew into a rage for his wife
However, I didn't agree with them. I didn't think
Aaron "doted on" his wife. If he really cared about Olive, he should never have agreed to the cooperation with Vega in the first place. If so, Olive would not have been hurt like this
Although I was no longer in any position to criticize Aaron, I was still dissatisfied with his actions
When I saw Olive's name on my phone screen, a terrible thought crossed my mind. Could it be that she finally couldn't stand being married to Aaron and had something to cry to me about?
I picked up the phone
I admitted I was disappointed when I picked up the phone and heard Aaron's voice
However, as a psychiatrist who was best at controlling emotions, I certainly would not let
others catch a glimpse of the nasty thoughts that had just flashed my mind. I cleared my throat and smiled after Aaron greeted me with vigor
"T haven't heard from you in a while, Aaron
How's it going? Is Olive OK? She's gonna be discharged today, right?"
I didn't realize that the sentences I had just spoken were inconsistent. Actually, I just couldn't help but express my concern for Olive
I was glad that Aaron didn't go deeper into my words. Or, before he raised any dissatisfaction, I had heard the voice I had longed for
"T'm great, Colston. I got the perfect medical report today. And I have some good news. I have two babies inside me. I'm gonna have two lovely girls!"
She sounded so happy, unlike someone who had been in the hospital for nearly half a month, which made me feel at ease. Soon, Aaron's voice rang out again
"Listen, darling. You don't have to get so worked up. Get back on the couch and sit down!"
I thought I heard Olive snort disapprovingly, and then she quieted down immediately

It seemed that her married life wasn't as unbearable as I had imagined. Even after what had happened in the lab, the atmosphere between her and Aaron was relaxed and loving
I presumed that I should be happy for Olive, both as her friend and as a man who loved her
However, the truth was, I still couldn't help
feeling bitter. My mind wandered back even a few months. If I had been tougher and not agreed to break up with her, or if I had just pushed Aaron away a little bit more, maybe I would have been the father of the twins
I was a bit lost in my wild imagination. It wasn't until Aaron called me several times on the other end of the phone that I came back to my senses
Then I responded a bit embarrassedly like a child who had been caught doing something wrong
To my surprise, Aaron's original intention in calling me was to ask me for help regarding David
The whole story wasn't complicated, but I still hesitated after listening to Aaron
"Aaron, you know that if I tell you how to help
Nick, then you too will inevitably be brought up some unpleasant memories."

When it came to emotions, things tended to get out of one's control, but I still considered Aaron my best friend. Aside from the fact that we had used to be rivals in love, I didn't want him to get hurt in anything
Because I went to great lengths to desensitize him about David. If he didn't want to face it, running away would be a very useful way
However, now he was offering to let me sort out the thing concerning David. It wasn't hard for me, but the more we talked about it, the more it would remind him of the bad old days. I wasn't sure if he was ready to relive the trauma
Aaron was silent for a moment after I said that
Just when I thought he had figured it out and wanted to give up, he, however, gave me a
positive answer
"Colston, I don't think I can keep my head in the sand like an ostrich any longer. I knew before I called you that I wasn't just trying to help Nick
In fact, I also wanted to help the part of me that had never really fixed it. David has hurt a lot of people around me, including my innocent wife and even her friends. They have all been threatened because of him. I will never be able to protect my wife and kids if I continue to run away from it."
