Chapter 145 - Pity...?! No !
While they were on their way , Florence noticed that Aria had a worried expression .
" Aria , what\'s going on ? " asked Florence with a calm tone .
" Yesterday when I came to get Aden at doctor Flaubert\'s clinic , I didn\'t go home , I went straight back at the company . " said Aria with a worried tone .
" At the company ?! " asked Florence .
" Yes ! I had a lot of work to do and I didn\'t have anyone to take care of Aden so I took him with me . Luckily it was late and everyone was getting ready to leave so Aden came with me . He likes elevators and crowds of people . When he sees them , it\'s impossible to take him back from there , at least until there\'s no one around . " said Aria in a bit of a messy way .
" I understand ! It\'s normal for him to act this way though . " said Florence with a smile .
He knew that children or people who were diagnosed with autism , reacted strongly towards the places filled with people .
" And ? " asked Florence looking at Aria .
" I kept him there with me the whole night . He played on his IPad till late at night then fell asleep . I worked all night and...I was very tired so I slept a bit . When I woke up Aden wasn\'t there . " said Aria with a worried expression .
" Aden\'s missing ?! " asked Florence surprised .
" Yeah !....No !.....At the beginning I thought he was missing but then I learned that my boss had seen him and taken Aden with him . " said Aria with an anxious expression .
" Then , it means that Aden is with your boss ?! So what are you worried about ?! " asked Florence who felt a bit relieved to hear that Aden was found .
" Let\'s just say that my boss is.....a bit weird . " said Aria with an annoyed tone .
" Weird ?! The boss of the Castejo company ?! Hahahaha ! " said Florence who thought that Aria was joking .
Aria could understand why he was laughing . On the outside, he was known as a perfect and devil-like figure .
\' I guess nobody would believe that such a perfect and arrogant guy could do something as stupid as to bring a child diagnosed with autism , in a night club !!! \' thought Aria super annoyed .
" Yes, he is ! He brought my brother to a night club . " said Aria with an angry tone .
" What the.....?! For real ?! " asked Florence shocked when her .
" So we are heading towards a night club now ?! " asked Florence .
" Yes ! " said Aria .
" A place which is filled with people and drugs ?! " asked Florence with a frozen expression .
" Yes ! " said Aria again with a tired expression .
" Aria , I don\'t want to make you even more worried than you already are but , do you know what it means if he stays there for too long ?! " said Florence with a serious tone .
" Yeah !....Unfortunately.....I do ! " said Aria with a serious tone while thinking of a way to calm Aden down .
The club was a bit far and it took at least thirty minutes to arrive there by car . Florence parked the car near Alan and Mana\'s car then followed them to the entrance door . Aria headed first but a hand , blocked her way .
" Hey wow ! Wait a minute there ! This club is for grown-ups only ! " said the guard at the entrance door when he looked at Aria .
\' I hate my child like appearance ! \' thought Aria with an annoyed expression .
" Open the way ! " said Aria with a serious and pressuring aura .
The guard got angry and was ready to push her but when he saw Alan glaring at him , he immediately stopped .
\' It\'s mr Alan . He\'s one of Helios\'s team . I better not provoke them or else I am screwed ! \' thought the guard and opened the door with a silly smile .
" Follow me , I know where they are . " said Alan with a serious tone and Mana , Aria and Florence followed him till they arrived at the second floor .
When they went there , the waiter told them that Helios had moved to another room today , at the second floor and they started to follow him .
Aria was so worried when she stepped in that she could hardly manage to stay up .
" Let me help you ! " said Florence and put his arm around her shoulders to hold her and make sure she wouldn\'t fall in that huge crowd .
" Thank you ! " said Aria and blushed a little .
Mana peeked a bit at them and from his expression , she understood that Florence\'s gentleness towards Aria was not that of a simple friend .
While they were going to the room Helios was in , Aden was jumping with excitement and happiness .
" Helios , I think that.....it\'s better if we take the kid back and enjoy our time . What do you say bro ?! " asked Bekora hoping that Helios would send Aden home as soon as possible .
" Let him be bro ! This kid is clearly having fun and isn\'t doing anything wrong and enjoying the time now . " said Helios with a smile .
The music was so loud that they didn\'t hear the door open and Aria with Florence , Mana , Alan who entered in . Aria noticed that they didn\'t hear the door open and contin with their conversation .
When Aria saw Helios , she wanted to strangle him .
" What do you mean by enjoying the time now bro ?! " asked Ramolo confused .
Aria stopped and wanted to hear what that blonde donkey would say .
" This little dude here is a bit different from normal children . I hope that he recovers one day...but until that day comes , there are things which he may never experience . Bekora you told me that he got agitated when he saw the nurses and the doctors , right ?! " said Helios .
" Right . " said Bekora who remembered the time Aria calmed him down .
" That\'s most likely because , most of his time he spends it with the nurses or therapists . He has never really enjoyed things as a kid his age should . In the future, there\'s no guarantee that he\'ll recover or not....So , why not bring him to a fun place now that he\'ll little and let him experience new things which are funnier than books or teaching lessons ?! " said Helios with a smile .
" So...you pity this child that\'s why you brought him here ?! " asked Ramolo confused .
When Aria heard Helios she felt sad , happy, and at the same time angry because of the pity others felt towards her brother .
" Pity ?!...No ! He is a very clever and cute child . " said Helios and got up from his couch and patted his head .
" The only thing I feel pity for , towards this child , is that he has a bookworm as a sister . That\'s why this little dude is forced to learn and read all day . Seriously guys ?! Which girl is fixated with books nowdays ?! She acts like a granny sometimes and that\'s why I pity this child who is forced to learn or read all day . " said Helios while patting his head .
" Learning and reading are important things to help him develop his intelligence but I doubt that you really know how precious it is ! " said Aria and Helios , Bekora and Ramolo looked towards her way .
Aria showed a little smile when she heard Helios\'s thoughts and remained surprised at the same time . Never would she had imagined an answer like this from him .
\' It seems like this blonde donkey is somehow right.....I still won\'t forgive him from calling me a granny !....I think I should start and bring Aden to more different places and allow him to have fun now that he still can . He\'s right about , not knowing what the future may hold . He may recover or not ,.....I better start and showing him more of the world that surrounds him and make him have the will to communicate with others and feel the urge to surpass his illness . I should stop worrying and trying to keep him safe by locking him next to me . \' thought Aria with a smile .
\' Rather than worrying about him , it\'s my own fear that keeps me back from bringing him to places he actually likes . \' thought Aria when she saw the smile on Aden\'s face .
To their surprise , apart from Mana and Alan there was also , Florence , the famous surgeon .
\' What is Florence doing with them ?! \' thought Bekora and Ramolo at the same time .
When they looked towards Aria , she looked at the with a threatening smile which gave them the chills .
" Is it just me or she\'s similar to Helios when she\'s angry ?! " whispered Ramolo in a low tone .
" I thought the same thing too . " said Bekora with a low tone .
" Oh , welcome little tigress ! It looks like you had a good date ! " said Helios in an annoyed tone when he saw Florence\'s arm around her shoulder .
" Date ?! What are you talking about ?! I\'ve been searching for Aden like crazy this whole time and.....out of all the places , I find him in a night club ?! " said Aria in an angry tone and Helios smiled when he heard her .
" Dada ! " said Aden and smiled with a happy smile .
Aria left Florence\'s arm and went towards Aden then hugged him tightly .
" Ohhh....Aden , sis loves you so much ! " said Aria while hugging him and looked at Helios who was near them with a smile .
