From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 851: 420 Think Thrice_3

Peter Aria hesitated, realizing that as a grown man, it would indeed be inconvenient to take care of a young girl, so he handed the bowl to her.

Peter Aria called out to Brixton Alvarez, “Come out with me.”

Brixton Alvarez waved to Aubree Groove with a smile and followed him out.

“Miss, I heard that Doctor Aria never shows a pleasant face to any other woman, but he is exceptionally gentle to you and even personally takes care of you; does he like you?”

As she spoke, she spooned up a scoop of porridge and handed it to Aubree Groove’s mouth.

Aubree Groove frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense.”@@novelbin@@

...

Dallyn playfully stuck out her tongue, “Miss, with your looks, talents, and virtues, who knows what kind of man could be worthy of you in the future?”

Dallyn’s answer was, none.

No man would be worthy.

“What about Anton Cook?” Aubree Groove changed the subject, not wanting to linger too much on the topic of Peter Aria.

Only after being reminded did Dallyn remember, she was taken aback, “Yeah, where’s Mr. Cook?”

Aubree Groove held out her hand, “My phone.”

Dallyn obediently took it out of her pocket, “Oh, it’s out of power.”

Feeling helpless, Aubree Groove asked, “Give me your phone.”

Aubree Groove dialed a series of numbers, but no one answered.

After hanging up, she frowned.

Dallyn said, “He’s a grown man, he couldn’t possibly have gotten lost. Miss, don’t worry, I will call Finnian for help.”

After finishing her breakfast, Aubree Groove was lifted onto a wheelchair by Peter Aria and taken to the radiology department.

After a full round of tests, it was noon.

There was uproar online, but inside the hospital room, it was peaceful.

Peter Aria once again ordered food from the Oncoe Building for their lunch. Aubree Groove, Dallyn, and he ate together, as Aubree Groove still had to have a chest CT scan in the afternoon.

While Aubree Groove was having her CT scan, Doctor Aria waited outside the CT room, and the passing doctors and nurses were unable to resist frequently glancing at him.

Peter Aria remained unfazed.

After finishing the examination, Peter Aria pushed the wheelchair and took Aubree Groove for a stroll in a small garden.

The weather was great today, the afternoon sun at four o’clock had a hazy warmth, unimaginably soft.

“Doctor Aria, is there any news about your love?”

Peter Aria hesitated for a moment and shook his head. Realizing Aubree Groove was still facing him, he replied vocalized, “They’re still investigating.”

“Do you need help?”

Dr. Aria thought she was referring to The Rintos, who were currently in full swing of their power. However, he didn’t want to drag Aubree Groove back into it.

“I already have some leads, just need to wait a bit longer…”.

Aubree Groove’s eyes were bent into a curve, “That’s good, if you need any help, let me know.”

Peter Aria’s voice held a hint of laughter, diluting the sadness in his eyes, “Alright.”

“Dr. Aria, let’s go back.”

Peter Aria pushed the wheelchair, walking across the garden’s slate path.

The setting sun in the west touched the tips of Aubree Groove’s dark hair, tinting it with a hint of mild yellow, adding an indescribable gentleness.

“Doctor Aria.” An excited voice sounded directly in front of him.

Seeing the young girl in the wheelchair, the face from the opposite side quickly dropped.

Even though she learned that Aubree Groove was still alive, seeing her face to face, the jealousy at the bottom of her eyes couldn’t be suppressed.

Why was Aubree Groove so lucky and invincible?

Lexi Benz, who had carefully made up face, was slightly cracked. Realizing Peter Aria was still in front of her, she quickly composed herself and put on a false smile.

“Ms. Rinto, seeing you safe and sound, makes me relieved. You have no idea how terrified I was when I read about your accident online. Ms. Rinto really is tough. It’s like you can cheat death.”

Her words were discomforting.

Peter Aria’s brow furrowed slightly, and he coldly glanced at Lexi Benz.

Since Peter Aria was always reserved, Lexi Benz didn’t take his coldness to heart. She thought that since he was always cold to Aubree Groove as well, their relationship must not be as close as rumored. She figured Aubree Groove probably aggressively pursued him. Also, The Rintos were ruthless, and Peter Aria was all by himself in Pethkids. Even a powerful dragon couldn’t hold off a local snake.

Having reached this conclusion, she despised Aubree Groove even more and spared a few more jealous glances at her.

Aubree Groove smiled slightly, good-mannered and elegant. “Miss Benz, thank you for your concern. One’s lifespan is determined by fate and human efforts alone cannot alter that.”

Even Virginia Frost couldn’t kill her, she really was unbeatable.

Aubree Groove masterfully tipped the scales, making Lexi Benz uncomfortable. Lexi Benz smiled awkwardly, “Ms. Rinto is right.”

Peter Aria pushed the wheelchair past her without giving her a single look from start to finish. Lexi Benz watched as Peter Aria’s handsome united face moved away from her, getting farther and farther, disappearing into the elevator. She stamped her foot in irritation.

“Dr. Aria, you will be mine sooner or later.”

She remembered the words that Master John gave her when reading her Bazi and discussing her marriage: A waxing and waning moon, think thrice to avoid regret.

She had been pondering it for a long time and felt that the old man was intentionally messing with her. If one’s destiny and marriage arrangement could be decided by a few words from an old man, that would be absurd.

She had always believed that destiny and marriage were determined by herself.

What was this nonsense about a waxing and waning moon and thinking thrice to avoid regret? Go to hell, she would never let go of what she wanted to obtain.
