Chapter 7
Saved Someone Important
People in the crowd exclaimed in surprise and started talking.
"Everyone in Caesar Hotel today is quite important. I heard that there are a lot of prominent medical families in there."
"Then this boy…"
Aria wasn't surprised at all. After all, Miles was very well-dressed. The watch he was wearing on his wrist was quite expensive as well.
"Remember to bring bodyguards when you come out next time," Aria said as she packed her medical kit up.
When Miles realized that she was leaving, he clung to her leg.
Aria couldn't get on the bicycle, so she looked down at him.
Miles didn't speak. He just held on to her sleeve. He took a step whenever she did. They were going nowhere like that.
She stopped in her tracks. "I'll take you back to your parents."
"Okay!" Miles got what he wanted. He nodded and said, "I'll have my parents thank you properly, miss."
Aria adjusted his collar for him. "No need for that. I don't take payment for helping kids."
"And…" Miles shifted his gaze. "Do you have a boyfriend, miss?"
Aria stood up straight. "No."
"Then, I'll ask my brother, Landon, to be your boyfriend as thanks."
Miles smiled as he started describing Landon. "Landon doesn't like to talk, but he's very handsome. He makes a lot of money, too. It'll be good for your ego if you go out with him. A lot of pretty ladies want to marry him, you know."
Aria smiled when she heard that. "I have no plans of getting married right now."
"Okay," Miles replied with disappointment as he drooped his head. He continued walking with Aria dejectedly.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance, he looked at Aria enthusiastically and said, "Miss, why don't you meet with Landon first? You should make your decision after you see him."
He was sure that Aria would fall for Landon when she saw him. He was a very handsome man, after all.
Aria smiled. "You're trying so hard to promote your brother to me. Does he know about this?"
"He's always sick. Everyone in the family has been telling him to get married. You're such a skilled doctor, and you're pretty, too. I'm sure a lot of people want to be your boyfriend. So, I'm just trying to get you to give Landon a chance."
Aria looked at his parched lips. Then, she went to buy him a bottle of water and some crackers. "Stop talking so much. You're still recovering."
Miles was very obedient. He ate whatever Aria gave him.
He couldn't open the bottle himself, so he raised it up to Aria and said weakly, "Please help me open it."
Landon's assistant, Troy Jepson, came to meet Miles and was shocked to see what was happening.
He was sure that the woman with Miles was that imposter that the Kents kicked out. Why was Miles with her?
He even asked her to help him open his bottle. Did he change his entire personality?
Something flashed in Troy's eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.
He knew who Aria was, but she didn't know him.
Troy took care not to expose his identity as he walked up to them in a hurry. "Mr. Miles! I've finally found you. I'm so glad you're okay."
"This pretty lady saved me," Miles said as he held Aria's hand. He had a defiant look on his face. It was like he was finally himself again.
Troy politely said, "Thanks, Ms. Carver."
Aria looked at him calmly. "He already thanked me."
Her attitude made it hard for Troy to grasp the situation. So, he said to Miles, "Mr. Miles, Mr. Landon called in some favors to track you down. He's in the car right now. He didn't even take his afternoon meds yet."
Miles looked up in surprise. He didn't expect Landon to come out here personally.
The window of the Maybach was rolled down slightly. Aria could vaguely see a person sitting in the car. He has a tall and slim frame. His posture was elegant.
His hand was balled into a fist next to his mouth. He looked like he was coughing. His movements exuded dignity, befitting someone of high stature.
