Aarvi stopped the security from taking away the man. She sounded grim seeing them manhandle that man, "How dare you treat him that way? Didn't you hear him say, my boyfriend?"

The Rivas hospital security froze without daring to turn to face any Rivas family member. They have to follow Aarvi's orders too so they waited for further orders.

Aaron knows her well, Karsen knows Aarvi wasn't fickle-minded to speak nonsense so he could guess what she was up to. Jordan wasn't surprised, he watched her back to her calculative, serene beauty. He waited to know how she might handle the man.

"Treat him well and take him to the waiting room." Her voice was unemotional and firm.

The man was delighted to hear it and stood up to get treated like a VIP. "Baby, no need to talk here. Let's go out."

Aaron gritted his teeth: "..."

He didn't like hearing 'Baby' to Aarvi, and that too right in front of him.

Aarvi smirked. She really wanted to know who appointed the small-time actor, he has the guts to call her intimately right in front of the Rivas family members without knowing her relationship with them. Or does he know?

Her tone was mellow and sweet but her face didn't reveal her real emotions, "We will go out later. Let me introduce you to all. After all, they saved me you know."

The man nodded vigorously but he forgot to ask her to get away from another man or ask Aaron to take his hand off her.

Aarvi's lips arced slyly guessing who hired the man. Leon Harmon wasn't an idiot to put on this act even if he catches her so soon. If he plans something, he will be smooth without loopholes.

So her guess is none other than Naomi Fisher? Naomi doesn't know a thing about her and believes Aarvi doesn't remember anything from the past.

But Aarvi couldn't understand how Naomi could think the Rivas family will believe just because a person says she is his girlfriend? That keeping apart, how could Naomi assume the Rivas family doesn't know anything about Aarvi?

If it's really Naomi, Aarvi felt Naomi pitiful. She didn't want to speak it out. The evidence speaks louder than her words so she let the Rivas family know themselves and finally put an end to Naomi Fisher.

Aaron didn't unwrap his arm from Aarvi's shoulder and asked, "If he calls you Baby again, should I pull his tongue out and chop it off? I am better with knives than the men in our security team."

"..." She knows he is good with knives as a surgeon in the operation theatre and also as the chef in the kitchen. But isn't cutting the tongue too much?

Aarvi took a deep breath and remarked, "You are unattractive when you are angry." She thought he would cool down for her.

Aaron nonchalantly shrugged and reminded her of the line she once told him, "Somebody had told me I looked hot when I was angry. I didn't expect it to change so quickly."

Aarvi facepalmed and brought an enticing curve to his lips. Both forgot Karsen and Jordan, who were walking in front of them could hear too.

In the waiting room,

Karsen and Jordan sat on single armchairs, Aaron didn't let Aarvi sit anywhere but next to him while the man looked around at the luxurious waiting room. He had almost thought they were taking him to patients and their guardian's waiting room.

However, his ogling eyes had to calm looking at the security standing behind him. He flashed a smile at Aarvi and irritated three men.

Jordan needed no word to prove he wasn't Aarvi's boyfriend even if she had forgotten everything. How could a boyfriend let his girlfriend sit next to another man so closely?

Aarvi asked plainly, "What is your name?"

The man started his acting, "You forgot me?" He put on a sad heart aching face and sighed, "I am Jake Lee, Baby..."

Aarvi quickly and fluently hooked her arm to Aaron's if in case he stands up and smashes Jake's head.

Aaron slowly breathed out to be composed and diverted his focus, 'My Cupcake acting is a thousand times better than you.' He thought looking at the fake expressions.

Karsen and Jordan saw Aarvi's reaction and controlled giving out any expressions. Jake shifted his eyes finally to their hands and glared at Aaron.

'Stop digging your grave, idiot.' Aarvi thought after glancing at two men having eye war.

Jordan asked next without letting her ask the next question, "What is her name?" He pointed to Aarvi with his hand.

Jake immediately responded without hesitation, "Allie Bass, my girlfriend."

Aarvi looked at Jordan if he would ask or she should continue but he took charge after seeing the three sitting silently. 'Aarvi Evans's birth name isn't Allie Bass.' Jordan confirmed.

"Where did she complete her schooling?" He didn't like to address her as Allie so he addresses her as she.

First miss.

Jake's forehead started filling with precipitation and awkwardly laughed before picking a school name, "Second high school."

Aarvi started thinking about how Jordan knew she was going to patiently ask instead of sending him to the prison. Jake Lee was just doing his work for money, who knows why he was doing it? So she wanted to leave him and catch the real culprit.

Aaron smiled noticing her gazing at Jordan in a whole new light from the time Jordan stood for her. He knows she will love the Rivas family, and she will slowly overcome the trauma given by her parents.

"Grandfather, Aarvi needs some rest, we will take leave," Aaron said as he stood up.

Aarvi was bewildered. She wanted to handle that unknown man and stuff a lot of sense to Naomi if she is really the one behind it.

Jordan and Karsen knew after her panic attack, she would be drained emotionally and mentally. Karsen nodded at Aaron glancing at paled Aarvi who didn't even know she was looking weak.

Jordan waved his hand to send them out, "Don't bother about him. I will treat him too well." He stressed 'Too'

"I--" She didn't want them to bother. Handling her work is what she learned so she wasn't really comfortable leaving it on others.

Seeing her sitting, clutching his arm to pull him down to sit, Aaron lowered to scoop her to his arms. Aarvi gasped and pinched Aaron for carrying her shamelessly in front of his family elders. She wanted to chant to him as she has legs to walk.

Jake Lee stood up to stop them but strong two hands pressed on his shoulders with so much force that he realized the problem he was in.

Outside the waiting room,

"Aaron Rivas, how could you let elders worry about trivial matters? They need to relax after a long day. Let me down." Aarvi wriggled in his arms.

Aaron was sure if he lays her down on the couch, she will doze off in a matter of seconds yet here she was, saying others need to rest.

Letting her down, he was about to coax her, his eyes landed on the one who he hadn't expected to see in their hospital.

His hands had cupped her face and turned to her but she left his at the loss of words. Aarvi stood on her toes and pecked on his lips, "Go, complete your work, I will come after handling here."

He brought her out so that she could rest to be awake for her friend's birthday. He revealed unemotionally as he pulled her back in front of him, "Vance Hays hid. Could he be behind this?"
