Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Sophie’s pov I looked at the pretty blonde doctor. Her hair was shiny, her eyes were blue, winged with eyeliner. She was a beautiful woman and looked to be my age or a tad bit older.

I looked over at Aiden and he seemed to have lost some color in his cheeks.

Did he know this woman?

Of course he did. Just look at the recognition in his gaze and the way he reacted Sophie. Even a dumb person would know that.

“Aiden?” I whispered and seem to have broken him out of whatever thoughts had trapped him inwardly.

He cleared his throat a little and approached the doctor. “Lillian I didn’t know you worked in this hospital,” He grumbled.

First name basis.

They definitely knew each other.

I looked at the doctor again, and eyed her sharply. She was definitely his type.

Great.

They must’ve been lovers.

But judging by the way Aiden usually did things, the two must have just had a one-night stand.

Or maybe....

She was lucky to have two or more nights.

She smiled brightly, her eyes dancing. She was happy to see Aiden, that much was obvious.

“I got transferred here a couple of days ago. It’s a good thing, I’m now closer to my father and brother.” She answered and then her eyes drew down and she finally noticed Ashton tucked in Aiden’s arms proactively.

“Ashton Bell?” She asked, nudging her head to Ash.

Aiden nods. “Yes my son. He’s sick.”

I’m actually surprised he said Ashton was his son. I didn’t know why I expected him to deny it and say that Ashton was his friend’s kid or something.

Perhaps even his brother.

I mean he didn’t tell his grandfather for whatever reasons unknown to me. But judging by how his grandfather operated, I’d rather he not know about Ashton as yet too.

God only knew what he’d say when he finds out.

The woman’s eyes widen slightly in shock and she looks at Ashton and then at Aiden. “Your son?!” She gasped in surprise.

Aiden nods and then shifted slightly to reveal me. “And this is his mother and my fiance.” He murmured.

The woman’s eyes widen even more and I’m stunned to see the color drain from her face. She actually looked quite sick after hearing his words.

Her eyes dart to me and she stares at me in stunned silence before faking a smile and outstretching her hand. “Nice to meet you, miss....

“Sophie Bell,” I took her hand in mine, and with a firm shake, she lets go of my hand quickly as if I had just burnt her.

Her eyes dart back down to Ashton and she smiles shakily. “Well let’s see what’s up with this little bugger,”

I grit my teeth. Hating her calling my kid bugger as if she has known him for years.

Calm down Sophie, she’s a doctor...she may have called endless kids the same name.

It is after all a very popular nickname.

“Follow me,” She told us and turned around, walking away without bothering to see if we followed after her.

She led us to an empty room and told Aiden to place Ashton on the bed.

“The nurse actually came in here. She was so scared, ranting about a tall intimidating man who was demanding that she fetch me for his sick son. I just had to see who was such a brave man. When I saw that it was you Aiden, I wasn’t surprised.” She teased and looked at Aiden over her shoulder while she checked Ashton’s pulse.

I know she was checking on my son, but I couldn’t help but hate the aura she gave off.

Ashton’s eyes fluttered open when she touched his forehead. “Oh hey there buddy. I’m doctor Muralo and I’ll be the one to take care of you and see what’s wrong.” She smiled at Ashton.

“He has your eyes Aiden. He has everything of you,” She murmured in awe and turned around to look at a stiff Aiden standing a few inches away from me.

He was on edge and I wasn’t sure if it was because of Ashton’s condition or if it was because of the blonde doctor checking our son.

The second one didn’t sit right with me.

They talk as if they’ve known each other for years. And with the way Aiden reacted when seeing her and her when seeing him, the two had history.

And that didn’t sit right with me at all.

Turns out Ashton had a mild cold that should go away in a few days. She advised us to give him plenty of fluids and citrus fruits to help fight it. She also advised that we keep him home for those few days until he was better.

“I want the day off Aiden,” I said as soon as we entered the SUV. “There’s no one I can leave Ashton with. Ria’s at a shoot and Mila is at work.”

Aiden nods and orders Mitch to bring us to my apartment.

When we got there, I held a sleepy Ashton, turned around to look to see if a car was approaching and opened the door.

I got out, quickly walking around the huge SUV. Aiden is out, holding my bag.

“Do you want me to hold him?” He asked, looking down at Ashton who had fallen asleep right after Dr. Muralo gave him some pink liquid to drink. She mentioned that it would help with the fever.

So I nod and passed Ashton over to him and took my bag from his hand.

When we’re inside the building, walking up the stairs I finally crack the tense silence we had been drowning in since leaving the hospital room.

“You knew that doctor. Lillian is it?” I asked and looked at his back. The muscles in his back tighten.

After a few silent moments passed between us, he finally responded vaguely. “I know many people.”

I pressed my lips together in disappointment, not liking the fact that he avoided answering the question.

I stay muted the rest of the way until I opened the apartment and showed him to my room, even though he was familiar with it from the last time he was there.

I can recall that it was the same day he found out about Ashton.
