Chapter 97 They've Had Feelings for Each Other
Mia's heart felt like it had been touched.
This strange and irresistible feeling had not occurred since she broke up with that person...
Mia furrowed her brows and subconsciously tried to push Aiden away, but he tightened his grip on her
hand.
"You..."
"You're still injured, so you can't walk." Aiden explained calmly, "Don't push yourself."
Mia pursed her lips and looked at his fair and slender hand.
It was the hand that held a surgical knife, and it was so beautiful.
And Aiden was also refined, elegant, and handsome.
If it weren't for him appearing like a godsend to save her today, she might still be trapped in the
mountains.
Thinking of this, she felt a faint pain in her ankle again. Frowning, Mia couldn't hold on and almost fell
to the ground.
"Be careful!" Aiden suddenly held onto her waist.
He found a large rock, dusted off the dirt, and gently helped her sit down.
"It seems to have swollen again." Aiden took off her shoes and socks to carefully examine her ankles.
"Let's go to my clinic later and let the nurse treat it."
"Okay, thank you." Mia replied warmly and suddenly remembered something, so she asked him, "How
did you find me?"
Aiden smirked and took out his phone.
There was already half a signal here near the foot of the mountain. Mia was slightly startled when she
saw him open his social media and the first post at the top was the one she had posted before going up
the mountain.
"I saw that you went hiking and your location was tagged in the photo." Aiden said softly, "So I followed
you."
"Why... why did you follow me?"
"A girl alone in the wilderness is not safe."
Mia's heart was moved.
Aiden smiled at her and turned his back, squatting down. "Come up!"
"What for?"
"The mountain road is difficult to walk. I'll carry you."
Mia admitted that she had a moment of temptation.
Aiden's back wasn't particularly broad, but it felt safe.
But compared to that person...
Mia bit her lip and suddenly snapped out of it.
"No need." She softly refused. "I can walk by myself."
"Don't force yourself!"
"I'm not forcing myself!" She suddenly raised her voice. Her tone was not very kind, but she didn't dare
to look him in the eyes.
"Dr. Johnson, thank you for your kindness. But we're almost at the foot of the mountain, and I can
handle it on my own. You don't have to worry."
"But..." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"After I get home, I will follow your advice." Mia forced a smile. "Ice pack, rubbing alcohol, and regular
check-ups. Don't worry. I'm an experienced hiker, and I have common sense!"
After saying that, she turned around and clumsily walked down the mountain with her hiking stick.
Aiden stood frozen in place, his gaze complex as he stared at her slender and stubborn figure.
He had no experience in love, but for some reason, he couldn't stop thinking about her from the
moment he saw her.
He had come here today specifically to accompany her.
Wasn't pursuing a girl supposed to start with unconditional companionship?
But there seemed to be an invisible gap between them, separating them into two different worlds.
......
On Monday afternoon, Stella was preparing to go to the canteen. She saw Mia walking towards the
pantry when she left the office.
She followed Mia. As soon as she reached the entrance, she smelled instant noodles.
Stella sighed lightly and placed her lunchbox in front of Mia without saying anything.
Mia was stunned for a moment, and then she opened the lunchbox to find a delicious pork chop rice
inside.
"Stella, you..."
"Go ahead and eat." Stella said expressionlessly, "Eating instant noodles too often is not good for your
health. How many times have I told you before?"
Mia's nose tingled, her eyes becoming teary.
Stella looked at her for a while, and finally couldn't pretend anymore and burst into laughter.
"What are you doing? It's not the first time I've brought you lunch. Do you really have to cry over it?"
Mia swallowed the food in her mouth without chewing, raised her reddened eyes, and finally said those
two words after hesitating for a long time.
"I'm sorry."
Stella's heart tightened.
She knew how proud Mia was, never admitting defeat or apologizing during an argument. But she also
knew how far Mia would go for her.
In fact, that day was just a little quarrel between good friends.
It wasn't that serious.
Stella smiled, held Mia's hand, and looked at her playfully and gently. "Alright, who doesn't argue with
their friends? When have we ever held grudges against each other?"
"Yeah!" Mia smiled relievedly.
"Stella, the pork chop rice cooked by you is the most delicious!"
"So, eat less junk food in the future! I'll bring you a portion with my lunch."
"Ha-ha..." Mia grinned.
It was hard to be harsh to someone who fed her. She took a few bites of the food and quickly raised
three fingers to swear, "Stella, I promise I won't speak ill of Liam anymore! He'll be my brother-in-law
from now on, and I'll always stand up for him!"
Stella was annoyed and amused. She looked at Mia for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back her
laughter.
"Speaking of this, I actually want to ask you. Why do you always have a problem with my husband?"
"It's not... " Mia smiled embarrassedly. "Maybe I just have high expectations for you, always thinking
that you could marry someone better!"
"Liam is quite good," Stella said softly.
"Yes, yes, as long as you like him!"
Mia felt happy and ate most of the food, but she didn't notice the slight change in Stella's gaze toward
her.
"Hey, don't just talk about me!" Stella nudged her with her elbow, smiling and asking, "Do you also have
someone you like but haven't told me about?"
Mia almost choked and coughed violently.
"Don't deny it!" Stella raised her face. "When you went hiking last weekend, Aiden went along too!"
Mia felt embarrassed, "It's not what you think..."
"When you went hiking by yourself, Aiden became so anxious and kept asking me what you usually
bring when hiking, and what if you get injured. Then he prepared a first aid kit and went to find you
recklessly!"
Mia froze, her cheeks burning.
That explained it. After she twisted her foot, Aiden not only appeared promptly but also brought
professional medicine for emergency treatment.
And she naively thought that doctors might always carry some common medicines.
Ha, which doctor had nothing better to do than carry around ointment for bruises all the time?
Mia secretly smiled.
Stella approached her, and the two of them leaned against each other like they did in college, shoulder
to shoulder, head against head.
"Mia, you like Dr. Johnson, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Mia restrained her smile. "Besides work, I don't think about anything else!"
"But you blushed just now..."
"Hey, it's too stuffy here!" Mia picked up her lunchbox and ran away. "I'll eat in the office, and I'll return
the lunchbox to you after cleaning it!"
Stella looked at her back and smiled helplessly.
When she got home in the evening, she told Liam about it.
Liam's usually cold face suddenly showed a smile.
"Yeah, I also think they're good for each other." He said in a deep voice, "In the recent conversations
I've had with Aiden, he never fails to mention Mia. Ha-ha, it seems like they have had feelings for each
other for a long time."
"What?" Stella widened her eyes, "So, has Dr. Johnson liked Mia for a long time?"
"But Mia has a strong personality and would never confess first. As for Dr. Johnson, he looks gentle
and doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to confess... They really make me
anxious!"
