NOVPUBChapter 1168: 529 Father and Daughter_1 Chapter 1168: 529 Father and Daughter_1 “Aubree Groove.” The hospital room door was pushed open urgently, and someone rushed in like a gust of wind.
Aubree Groove exclaimed in astonishment, “Dr.
Aria?”
Peter Aria ran to the bed in a few strides, his eyes revealing his anxiety.
He picked up the medical records from the end of the bed and glanced at them, “A humerus fracture?
Who performed your surgery?
Boston Linggo?
...
Good, he’s one of the better surgeons in this group.”
Peter Aria let out a sigh of relief.
“How are you feeling now?
Does the wound still hurt?
Are you dizzy?
Any adverse reactions?” Peter Aria asked a barrage of questions, leaving one unsure of where to start answering.
Aubree Groove looked at him quietly, shaking her head with a smile, her voice gentle, “Dr.
Aria, I’m fine.”
“Your face is paler than a wall, and you say you’re fine?” Peter Aria was irate at her nonchalant demeanor.
“I’m not against you being willing to put yourself in danger, but can you please take care of yourself first, without injuring yourself.
If something were to happen to you, how would I be able to explain to!”
Peter Aria’s words stopped abruptly.
He suddenly froze, staring into Aubree Groove’s gentle, clear eyes, and suddenly felt powerless.
Aubree Groove didn’t dig deeper into his perplexing remarks.
Instead, she showed immense gentleness and tolerance.
“Dr.
Aria, thank you for worrying about me.
But I never regret the things I do.”
Peter Aria looked deeply at her, “True, if you were the type to watch someone die and not help, you wouldn’t be you.
Anyway, recover well.”
Only then did Peter Aria notice Kelly Martinez standing by the side, spectating.
He asked in confusion, “Who is this?”
The person in front of him gave him a familiar impression, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
“So you are the renowned Dr.
Aria I’ve heard so much about.
Nice to meet you, I’m Aubree Groove’s friend, Kelly Martinez.”
Kelly Martinez smiled and extended her hand.
Peter Aria lightly shook her hand and quickly let go.
“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”
Those eyes…
Kelly Martinez blinked, “Dr.
Aria, isn’t this pickup line a bit outdated?”
Peter Aria, hearing her joke, smiled and shook his head: “Ms.
Martinez has misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood?
When Aubree gets injured, Dr.
Aria seems to react intensely.
Have I misunderstood something, or is it that!” Kelly Martinez squinted her eyes, putting Peter Aria on the spot.
“Dr.
Aria is close to forty, children your age are roughly the same age as Aubree.
In other words, at your age, you could be Aubree’s father.
Everyone has been speculating why Dr.
Aria has been single for so many years.
Could it be that you are following the saying, ‘A pear blossom presses a begonia’?”
Peter Aria, with a serious face, rebuked, “What nonsense are you talking about?
How could I have such feelings for Aubree?
You’re insulting me and Aubree.”
Kelly Martinez crossed her arms, and leisurely said, “Is that so?
Unless Dr.
Aria can give me a convincing reason, otherwise…”
Aubree spoke softly, “Kelly, that’s enough.”
Peter Aria turned to look at Aubree Groove, complex emotions swirling in his eyes, “I thought that hiding things from her, keeping her away from the vortex of danger was for her benefit.
Now it seems, I was wrong.”
Kelly Martinez’s eyes glinted, “Doesn’t Dr.
Aria think these words are a bit hypocritical?
Do you know who hit Aubree?”
“I know, and I will make it right for Aubree.”
Peter Aria turned to leave, paused when he was next to Kelly Martinez, “Please take good care of Aubree for me.”
Without another word, he left.
The hospital room fell back into silence.
Aubree glanced at her, “Kelly, what are you trying to do?”
Kelly Martinez shrugged, “His sister hit you, and he acted concerned.
This brother and sister duo have quite the impressive acting skills.”
Aubree Groove pinched her brow, “Kelly, why bother with this, I don’t mind.”
“You may not mind, but sooner or later this score will be settled.”
As Peter Aria walked out of the ward, his expression instantly turned serious.
He dialed Madon Linggo’s number, “Sergeant Linggo, this time, I’m going to make the net even wider.”

“Useless!
Can’t even find a person, what use are you?” Vanessa Aria angrily threw a flower vase at her subordinate, the latter just stood still letting the vase hit his head.
“Ah…” Vanessa, in a fit of anger, swept everything off the table.
She was behaving wildly.
The betrayal of Violetta Gartia was like a knife straight to her heart, to her it was a great humiliation.
