Chapter 880
“Thanks, but I ate before coming here,” Skylar turned Aiken down politely.
After getting off work, she felt a little hungry. While she was buying food for the girls, she had something
to eat too.
Aiken nodded and said, “Alright.” Then, he walked out of the room.
Simona and Wendy didn’t have much of an appetite. They didn’t eat a lot.
Skylar chatted with them for a while. Then, the police arrived. She left the room and waited outside.
Aiken finished his dinner and stood beside her.
“Thank you so much for what you’ve done in the past few days. If not for you, Simona wouldn’t have calmed down so fast,” Aiken said softly.
“Simona is very strong. She had regained her spirits after calming down yesterday. She doesn’t want to make you worry.” Skylar glanced at Aiken. He’d seemed paler after the events of the past few days. There was a crease between his brows that looked like it was there to stay.
Skylar understood how he was feeling. Anyone would be enraged if their sister, whom they’d pampered growing up, had gotten bullied.
Aiken looked at the floor to hide the emotions swirling in his eyes. He didn’t want to freak Skylar out. “Simona likes to keep her thoughts to herself. I got her a psychologist.”
“With the help of the psychologist, I’m sure Simona will be fine.” Skylar had intended to suggest Aiken hire a psychologist. Simona was stil young. She needed the guidance of a psychologist to deal with her
emotions.
Although they could stay by Simona’s side while she faced all this, they couldn’t give her inner peace and chase her nightmares away for her.
Aiken agreed, adding. “The psychologist will also conduct therapy sessions for Wendy.”
Skylar was a little surprised. Although she hadn’t known Aiken for long, she could tell he wasn’t the type to stick his nose into other’s business.
However, she’d heard a nurse talking about how Aiken was paying for Wendy’s treatment. He’d even hired a lawyer for her.
The policemen left the hospital room after taking their statements. Skylar and Aiken walked in together. The girls seemed down. Perhaps it was because they’d been led to recall the nightmarish happenings of last night under the police’s questioning. Tears welled up in their eyes.
Simona looked up and asked Alken, “They will pay for what they’ve done, right?”
“Definitely,” Aiken promised firmly.
Every single person who hurt his sister would pay for it
Wendy glanced up at Aiken tearily and said, “Thanks for hiring a lawyer for me. In the future… when I make
a fortune, I’ll repay you the medical fees and the legal fees. Thank you so much!”
“Alright.” Aiken nodded.
Skylar stood by them silently.
Chanelic
When Simona and Wendy had fallen asleep, she took her leave.
Aiken suggested that he could fetch her home.
“I drove today. I can get home on my own. Simona needs you here,” Skylar replied softly.
“I’ll walk with you to the parking lot.”
As they left the eighth floor and headed to the underground parking lot, they ran into Rowan and Jenny. They’d just parked their car and were chatting as they walked.
“Actually, I’m fine. I could’ve waited till tomorrow to come to the hospital. Most of the doctors have
gotten off work by now. My symptoms aren’t serious. It’s just mild diarrhea and weakness. Rowan, you’re pampering me,” said Jenny coquettishly.
Her arm was hooked around his. When she looked up at him, it was as though he was the only person in her universe.
Rowan loved it when Jenny looked at him like that. She could see no one else but him. He said, “You’ve got to come to the hospital if you’re not feeling well. I like pampering you anyway.”
