Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 37
Advertisement
After half an hour had passed, Anya was still sitting on the living room chair. She did not move an inch from her seat. Her hand was still holding the same paper, hoping that if she stared at the paper longer, she could better understand the contents of Aiden's head.
Unfortunately, she still didn't understand…
She couldn't understand what just happened. It seemed as if her brain was having a hard time digesting this sudden incident. All of a sudden, Aiden wanted to ask for a divorce. He was willing to forget all her debts and even provide compensation money.
Was this a test for her? Was Aiden testing her?
Harris watched it all from a distance. He didn't intend to peek and interfere, but he was worried.
He had been worried about his Master ever since they returned from their trip.
"Madame..." Harris walked over to Anya, who sat languidly in the family room. Along with his footsteps, Harris tried to steady his resolve. Currently, he was overstepping his limits by meddling in his Master's business. He didn't know whether this was the right thing or not, but he was worried about his Master.
The call made Anya look up with a daze. She didn't even realize who was approaching her until Harris arrived in front of her.
"Hmm ... What's wrong?" Anya asked Harris. She didn't feel like talking to anyone. Right now, her mind was confused. She was in the mood to be alone.
"Madame, I don't mean to interfere, but..." Harris said hesitantly.
Harris's words seemed to catch her attention. Only then did Anya wake to her senses. She looked straight at Harris, focused all her attention on him. Harris had been out with Aiden for the past week so he should know what had happened. He knew what had caused Aiden to act this way.
"Anything? What really happened? Tell me!" Anya demanded. The paper in her hand seemed forgotten. She realized that it was not from the paper that she was looking for, but from the man in front of her. Harris knew everything.

Harris cleared his throat, trying to clear his choked throat, "Madame, during this week, the master has not been away on work. He visited a doctor for eye treatment."
"Then what happened? Why is Aiden suddenly acting like this?" Anya asked worriedly.
'Aiden didn't go out of town to work?'
Aiden went to visit a doctor, to heal his eyesight. Was that why Aiden came back in such a bad mood? Was the treatment failed? Would Aiden never be able to see again?
There was no way Aiden wouldn't come back for a week without giving a word if all was well. There was no way Aiden would come back in a bad mood if his treatment were successful. There was only one possible answer…
"Master's eyes are not well." Harris replied with a grit on his teeth, trying to hold back the irritation he felt in his heart, "The treatment is not finished, but someone killed the doctor. All the prescription drugs have been burned. Mr. Aiden's eyes were still the same as before. It can't be cured." Harris's hands were tightly clenched at his side.
Harris didn't just think of Aiden as his master. He grew up with Aiden so he also considered him a friend. It could be said that Aiden was the brother he never had. His feelings were sincere for Aiden, not expecting Aiden to return the same feelings.
That was why Harris felt very angry when he learned Aiden's treatment had failed. Someone deliberately killed the doctor so that Aiden couldn't see anymore. Harris gnashed his teeth and his fists clenched tighter and tighter until his knuckles turned white. Nothing could describe how much anger he felt right now. If only, had he known who did all this, he would have killed that person.
If only…
Anya's mouth fell open. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Someone had killed the Doctor that treated Aiden. Someone wanted Aiden's treatment failed so he would lose his sight.

Unconsciously, her hands holding the divorce documents were clenched and trembling, making the paper crumpled. Who would have the heart to do this to Aiden?
"Will he not be able to recover forever? Can't Aiden see anymore?" Anya asked. Her voice was low and sounded a little trembling.
"Sir must find another way to do treatment. He must find another doctor who can help his eyesight improve. But it takes quite a long time." Harris replied, trying to calm down.
When he saw the woman in front of him, Harris could see that Anya was also trying to hold back her emotions. The woman's face was slightly flushed and her eyes were filled with tears that were about to trickle down her lids.
"Mr. Aiden wants to protect you. That's why he wants to divorce you." Harris said. He wanted Anya to know that even at times like this, Aiden was still thinking about her.
"Protect me?" Anya was stunned to hear this.
"There were people who wanted the treatment to fail. That person did not want the master to be able to see again. He even killed the doctor." Harris replied.
Anya was pensive when she heard this, 'Someone is trying to harm Aiden. I don't know what that guy's aim was, but that person didn't want Aiden to see anymore.'
This person didn't want Aiden to be happy. This meant that anyone close to Aiden was not safe, especially Anya, who held the status of Aiden's wife. As the closest person to Aiden, Anya could also be the target of Aiden's enemies. That person could harm Anya to make Aiden helpless.
That was why Aiden wanted to divorce her.
Aiden wasn't testing her. Aiden also didn't throw her away because Anya was useless. Aiden wanted to protect her. The man wanted to keep her safe.
Anya's heart ached when she realized all this. Her hands rose to grab her chest, as if trying to ease the pain in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized what Aiden was really thinking.
Even at times like this, Aiden still had time to think about her. The man was supposed to think more about his condition, especially his eyes. Aiden must have felt hurt and disappointed after realizing that his treatment had failed. Anya could not imagine how angry and disappointed Aiden would be to find out that the treatment had failed this time and he could no longer see. However, the man thought of Anya instead, worrying about Anya's safety. He put Anya above himself even in these conditions.
Anya felt she was really not worthy of Aiden.
She couldn't even do anything for Aiden, but Aiden always treated her wholeheartedly. Her fists were clenched tighter, causing the documents in her hands become damaged.
Harris's gaze landed on the divorce papers which Anya was still holding. He could feel how much Aiden loved Anya. Even though the man should have thought about his eyes better, Aiden thought about Anya's safety instead. He was afraid that Anya would be in danger. He was afraid that someone would try to harm Anya.
Such was Aiden's love for Anya…
Harris looked away from the document and looked straight at Anya, "Sir is willing to give freedom to you. Are you going to leave him?"

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
