Chapter 686

Jareth’s stormy eyes suddenly sparkled as he rushed to Marilla’s side, pulling her into a fierce embrace. His voice trembled with the residue of fear, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I should’ve been there sooner. You’ve been through so much; you’ve been hurt. I’m such a damn fool! Hit me, go on, hit me hard!”

Everyone gasped in disbelief. Oh Lord! This wasn’t the ruthless Mr. Fairhaven they knew; this was a man hopelessly in love!

What kind of magic did this girl possessed to bring the mighty Mr. Fairhaven to his knees?

“Jareth, why did you say those things about Aaron? Why?”

Marilla’s autism made her more stubborn than most, and her insistence was unnerving, “Why did you say that about Aaron? If it weren’t for him, I’d be dead! Aaron is my hero! Why would you say such terrible things? Why?”

Why? Why? A torrent of questions that would exasperate anyone else seemed to have no effect on Jareth, who still held her close, his gentle voice soothing her, a bit chocked up, “Marilla, you must have been so scared back then, weren’t you? Terrified? I didn’t protect you.”

“Aaron did nothing wrong. He risked his life to save me. Don’t talk about him like that again, okay?” Marilla was single–minded; she wouldn’t rest until this was cleared up.

Lily watched, feeling distress for Mr. Fairhaven. Mrs. Fairhaven was finally able to become emotionally steady, but due to this incident, she sensed a setback in her delicate condition after the accident.

With Marilla’s relentless probing, Jareth didn’t dear to stir up her feelings anymore; he swallowed his pain hard and pleaded in a hoarse voice, “Honey, promise me, you won’t look at any other man, just me. arilla, I’m the only one for you.”

After leaving the hospital, Aaron headed straight back to the station. Having dealt with the aftermath of the case, he pulled up the records of Don and his daughter’s previous complaint, including the files of the five bullies and all the statements.

The amount of information wasn’t overwhelming, but after reading through, Aaron was seething with anger for a long time.
