Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 37

Arwen’s brows furrowed slightly when she saw Daniel’s name flashing on her phone. He hadn’t called her yesterday when she was waiting for it, so what made him call her today?

Aiden saw her staring at her phone with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you want me to stop the car and step out?"

Arwen turned at him with a confused expression as if she hadn’t registered his words at first. When she did, she quickly shook her head. "It’s not necessary. It’s just a friend calling. I will take it now."

As she said that, she slid her finger to accept the call. "Daniel," she answered.

"Arwen."

She heard him respond in a slightly worried tone and she immediately knew something was wrong. "What’s wrong?" she asked, and the next thing she heard made her expressions turn cold.

"Fine, wait for me. I will be there soon," she said, before hanging up.

Aiden might not have heard it all, but judging by Arwen’s expressions, he could tell something wasn’t right.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" he asked, and Arwen nodded.

"Yes." Turning her head to him, she added, "Can you take me to Cralen’s Care Hospital?"

She didn’t explain further, nor did Aiden ask. He simply stared at her for a moment and then nodded, efficiently manoeuvring the car in the opposite direction.

After almost half an hour, they arrived at Cralen’s Care Hospital. Arwen had planned to get out at the entrance, but seeing the mob outside going crazy, she paused to think.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Aiden asked. He could read the discomfort in her expression.

Arwen shook her head in refusal. "No, it’s fine. I can go myself," she said, pressing a soft smile of assurance onto her face. She was about to open the door and step out when she suddenly felt a gentle tug on her arm, stopping her.

"Wait a minute," Aiden said, holding her arms. Arwen raised her brows a little in confusion, only to see him opening a compartment and pulling out a cap and face mask. "You can wear these if you are uncomfortable in the crowd."

He leaned over and gently helped her put on the face mask and adjust the cap on her head. He made sure that the cap fit her perfectly, ensuring no one could recognize her through her disguise.

Arwen had once been a public figure, recognized for her talent, but after voluntarily giving up the stage, she had distanced herself from that life. Still, some habits lingered. One of those was her consciousness around crowds. She wasn’t crowd-conscious when she was on stage, but offstage, she felt a strong aversion to large groups of people.

"Was that also written in my eyes?" she suddenly asked, looking at him closely.

Aiden met her gaze and then shook his head. "I am just good at my homework."

Arwen smiled at that and then shook her head. "Looks like I will have to start taking homework seriously as well. I can’t slack off for long."

Aiden looked at her as though he was seriously considering her words, then nodded. Glancing out of the window behind her, he asked again, "Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?"

Arwen nodded, "I am sure, don’t worry. I will be fine. Besides, it’s a hospital —not exactly the right place to introduce my husband. So, let’s wait for a better time, and definitely a better place," she said.

Aiden nodded and hung up the call. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
