Chapter 270 - Continuing The Plan ?
Aaron stood firmly while staring at a nurse treating Kimberly's leg, guilt welled up inside him as Kimberly screamed in pain when the nurse touched her leg.
'Why did she get hurt this bad? I didn't hit her shopping cart that hard, did I?'
Various questions appeared in Aaron's mind, he was still trying to remember the seconds before the crash. He remembered that he didn't push the cart too hard, so the possibility of the injuries caused by the crash shouldn't be as bad as what he currently saw.
"Don't use high heels for a while, get plenty of rest, and never skip your medicine. In the next two or three days your wound will heal, Miss," said a nurse who had just treated Kimberly's leg in a friendly manner.
"I don't need to put on a plaster cast?" Kimberly asked in a very disappointed tone.
The nurse shook her head in response to Kimberly's question.
"It's just a bruise, no fractures at all. So a cast is not needed, for now, Miss," replied the nurse with a smile.
Kimberly looked displeased after hearing the words of the nurse who helped her. She felt what she had done before was in vain. Her wish to be treated with a cast didn't go through, she didn't plan to be treated only with a painkiller after getting some bruises like this. Aaron, who had been silent for a long time, looked confused when he saw the expression on Kimberly's face. The girl seemed to not like hearing the nurse's answer. She should be happy because the wound on her leg was not serious. But her attitude was the exact opposite, Kimberly seemed dissatisfied with the nurse's answer and this made Aaron furious. People in every part of the world would be happier if they knew they didn't suffer serious injuries. But that didn't happen to Kimberly, that was why Aaron felt a little odd but he tried to hide his suspicions because he didn't want to offend Kimberly. After all, he was the one who caused Kimberly to be injured even if it was only a small bruise.
After doing her duty, the friendly nurse then got out of the room, leaving Kimberly who was still sitting on the bed. Even when she only suffered a minor injury, it was very painful. Kimberly regretted her actions of hurting herself since it didn't even hurt her legs severely.
"Is there any family I can call for you, Miss Kimberly?" Aaron asked softly to Kimberly who was touching her calf.
"I'm living with my sister after my dad's business went bankrupt and the company was acquired by one of his business partners. We are devastated. We live independently trying to find a job that is suitable for us, but... all of Daddy's co-workers refuse to help us even though my father always helped them in the past. Until now, my sister and I are still trying to find work. Earlier, I just came back from the office of one of Daddy's colleagues before crashing your cart at the supermarket," Kimberly answered one of Aaron's questions while adding too many unnecessary details. She told her current condition to seek Aaron's sympathy just what her sister told her.
Aaron sighed at Kimberly's words, his guilt getting bigger when he found out what had happened to the girl he just crashed into.
"May I speak to your sister then, Miss?"
Kimberly nodded her head, she then grabbed her cell phone and looked for her sister's name, and gave it to Aaron. At first, Kimberly thought that Aaron would contact her sister Marissa with his phone, but her guess was wrong. Aaron used her phone to call her sister instead. A second plan to get Aaron's phone number failed.
Aaron looked very serious when he was talking to Marissa on the phone, he also told her how Kimberly's current condition was to calm Marissa after she panicked.
"I will send you the location, Miss Marissa, I'll wait for you," Aaron spoke very politely to Marissa Henderson on the phone as he was about to hang up.
"Okay, Sir. Please don't leave her alone, you have to wait for me to come, Kim must be very scared to be alone in the clinic like that," Marissa asked hopefully, her voice hoarse as if she was holding back tears.
"Yes, I will wait for you, Miss. I will hang up now and send you the location of the clinic," Aaron answered slowly, giving Marissa a code subtly to end the call.
After hanging up the call, Aaron immediately sent the address of the clinic where he and Kimberly were currently to Marissa. Aaron deliberately used Kimberly's phone to contact Marissa because he didn't want his private number to be spread widely. The number Aaron was currently using was the one Anne knew about, he didn't want to change his phone number if people found out about it. Aaron didn't want Anne to have a hard time finding him if he changed the number again.
When returning Kimberly's phone, a nurse suddenly came asking Aaron to make payment for the treatment Kimberly received. Without saying much, he followed the nurse to the cashier to pay for the treatment as well as the medicine that Kimberly had to take home. When Aaron was at the pharmacy to take Kimberly's medicine, Marissa got into Kimberly's room. Marissa didn't take long to get to the clinic since she was observing things not far from where Aaron and Kimberly were. She was watching her sister from her hiding place.
"Didn't I tell you that you should let me hit your leg with that golf club, Kim? That way, your leg would be treated in a cast. Aaron Sean Connery will feel even more guilty about your condition," Marissa spoke quietly to Kimberly when she found out that her sister only got some bruises, something they didn't expect at all.
"This bruise also hurt a lot, Sis. You are not the one who is suffering, aren't you? Better if you don't talk like that," Kimberly answered Marissa's words quickly, she was a little annoyed at her sister who underestimated the wound on her leg.
Marissa's face flushed with emotion after hearing her sister's words, she was very upset because her genius plan failed. They were so close to getting one big fish, but their plan failed since Kimberly was so afraid of hurting herself severely. Feeling emotional, Marissa touched Kimberly's feet, she got rid of all her annoyance by tightly gripping her sister's leg which looked purplish-red and slightly swollen. As soon as Marissa's hand touched Kimberly's leg, the girl screamed. A sharp pain shot through her as Marissa's grip landed on the area.
Aaron, who happened to walk near the area, ran quickly to Kimberly's room when he heard the girl scream in pain.
"What are you doing, Miss?" He asked quickly as he made his way into Kimberly's room.
Marissa, who did not expect that Aaron would come so quickly, changed her attitude completely.
"Ah… Sir! My sister was trying to move her legs," answered Marissa while lying.
"Didn't the nurse tell you to not move your legs too much? Why are you trying to move them?" Aaron asked while being annoyed at Kimberly, he didn't like seeing a stubborn woman.
"I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't want to give you too much trouble. So I tried to walk so as not to be a burden to anyone," Kimberly answered compassionately, trying to seek sympathy from Aaron.
Aaron took a deep breath, he then handed Kimberly's medicine to Marissa without speaking. Aaron quickly grabbed Kimberly's body and put her in the wheelchair that he had bought for her.
"Use this for a while, let me take you to the front," he said softly as he made Kimberly sit comfortably in her wheelchair.
Marissa smiled at Aaron's words, she didn't expect Aaron to act like that to Kimberly. She also followed Aaron's steps from behind to go out of the clinic and head straight to where her car was parked.
"This is my business card. If you need anything you can call me. Right now I can't take you home because I have to go somewhere. I have some important stuff to do," Aaron handed Kimberly his business card politely when Kimberly was well seated in the car.
Kimberly's eyes lit up when she received Aaron's business card. She didn't just manage to find a way to get in touch with Aaron, but she also managed to get his business card even when she already knew where Aaron's office was. But with this business card at least she could have another reason if she came to the Connery Corporation.
"Thank you, Mr. Aaron, I owe you a lot," Kimberly spoke very quietly as she received Aaron's business card.
Aaron smiled kindly at Kimberly, he left the two sisters and went to his car to continue his plan to go to Anne's apartment.
After Aaron left, Marissa screamed very loudly while jumping up and down. "Yes, we did it, Kim! Aaron Sean Connery gave you his business card. That means he will remember you. This way it will be easier for us to meet him in the future."
"That's true, the pain in my leg is worth it. Aaron Sean Connery has successfully gotten into our trap, we will achieve all of our goals soon," Kimberly responded to her sister's words with enthusiasm, her eyes gleaming with lust.
