Too Late Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now novel Chapter 313

Aria's POV

Aiden had rushed back without even eating lunch properly. Now that the surgery was successful, Dad naturally didn't want us hanging around his hospital room all day.

"Make sure you rest, Dad, and call me if you need anything!" I added.

I turned to Charles. "Don't let any visitors in for the next couple of days, no matter who they are. Don't even tell Dad about them."

"I understand, Miss. You and Mr. Carter should go home and rest. I'll keep an eye on your father."

Charles had been with my family for years, so I trusted him completely.

"Thank you. Contact me immediately if there's any problem."

"Of course."

After giving Charles my instructions, I glanced at Aiden.

He looked at my father. "Dad, rest well. Aria and I are heading home now."

"Good, good. Drive safely."

I glanced at Dad's phone, tempted to mention the mysterious calls, but decided against it.

As Aiden and I left the hospital room, I couldn't help asking, "Do you think that person might call Dad now?"

It was just a passing thought—obviously Aiden couldn't possibly know the answer.

"Unless they're a complete idiot, they won't contact Dad at a time like this."

I thought about it and realized he was right.

Whatever this person wanted, they clearly wanted something. Making Dad's condition worse wouldn't help them get it.

That thought eased my worries a bit.

We took a taxi home from the hospital.

Lucy seemed surprised to see us return together. "Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter."

I smiled at her. "Lucy, could you make some soup tonight? I'm craving it."

"Of course! I'll start preparing it right away."

Aiden handed me a glass of water. I took a sip, about to ask if he wanted to rest, when—"You—"

A massive yawn interrupted me mid-sentence.

Embarrassed, I covered my mouth until it passed. "Do you want to get some sleep?"

Aiden gently touched my cheek. "I'm not tired. You should go rest."

I was exhausted. I'd felt sleepy in the waiting room but couldn't fall asleep despite leaning against Aiden's shoulder because I was too worried about Dad.

"I'll go lie down then?"

"Go ahead."

I finished my water and handed the glass back to him.

"Get some sleep," he said.

I glanced at the glass in his hand, my lips curving into a small smile before I turned and headed upstairs.
