Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377 Spend Time Together There was no way the queen would allow her son to marry a Chanaean woman.

“Mother, we’re in the twenty-first century! Why aren’t we allowed to marry a foreigner? It’s time to amend the law,” Aaron retorted unhappily.

He loved being with Arielle. Initially, he thought he could persuade his mother and grandmother to change their minds gradually. Alas, the queen realized his intentions swiftly and refused to budge.

It’s time to amend this law. Countries out there are advancing at a swift speed. There’s no need to keep our country inaccessible to everyone. We should allow foreigners to enter so we can learn from other countries and marry anyone we like.

“Amend the law? Do you think it’s an easy feat?” The queen glared at him. “Stop imagining things. After this meal, bring Sonia out for the day. You both should spend time together. I’ll call her family later, so just head to her house.” There was a finality to her tone that warned him not to refute her order.

“You can spend time with her if you want. I won’t do that!” Aaron knew he couldn’t make her change her mind. Furious, he spun on his heels and marched out.

“Stand right there!” the queen barked out angrily when she realized he was going to leave.

Aaron halted in his tracks momentarily, but he ignored her order and strode away.

“Oh, what an ungrateful brat! I’m doing this for his sake!” The queen heaved furiously.

“Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still young and doesn’t know your intentions. You should talk to him patiently instead of getting upset,” her trusted aide, Miranda, came forward and comforted her.

“Send someone to keep an eye on that Chanaean girl!” How dare she seduces my son? No matter who she is, I won’t let her off the hook.

After exiting the palace, Aaron was about to head to Paelsford Manor when his aide, Barock, stopped him from leaving.

“Mr. Aaron, Mr. Bernd was involved in a car accident. The doctor said he needs to amputate his leg, so his father called and asked for Ms. Moore’s help to get a second opinion.”

Aaron panicked when he learned that Bernd Kirkwood, his best friend, was involved in a car crash and was at risk of being amputated. Without further delay, he rushed to Paelsford Manor.

“Arielle, come with me!” After running into the mansion, he spotted Arielle watching TV on the couch and dragged her out hastily.

“Wait a minute!” Arielle shook him off. “What’s the hurry? Where are we going?”

“This is a life and death matter. I’ll explain to you in the car.”

Arielle immediately told him to lead the way.

On the way to the hospital, Aaron explained the matter briefly.

“Arielle, are you confident of sparing him the pain of amputating his leg?” Aaron asked. Afraid of increasing her pressure, he said softly, “If you can’t do that, he has no choice but to accept his fate.”

“I don’t know his situation, so I can’t give you an answer. We’ll see after I check him out at the hospital.”

Arielle knew the patient was his best friend, so she promised, “As long as there is a ray of hope, I’ll do my best to save his leg.”

“Thank you!” Aaron was grateful.

Half an hour later, the car rolled to a stop before the hospital. They alighted from the car and dashed to the operation room.

“How’s the situation?” Arielle demanded.

No one knew the Chanaean doctor was fluent in Turlenese. The doctor and family were momentarily stunned.

As they stared at her without saying anything, Arielle’s voice turned icy. “I’m asking a question. Why aren’t you answering me?”

The doctor was the first to regain his composure. He was Bernd’s attending doctor and wanted to amputate Bernd’s leg, but Bernd’s father refused to let him do so. Thus, they were currently in a deadlock.
