Chapter 771 

Not only did Lena grab Aaron’s thigh, but as she fell to her knees, her face ended up dangerously close to his crotch. 

Her face went nuclear red–redder than that one time they’d accidentally walked in on each other in the bathroom, years ago. 

She jerked back, yanking her hand away so fast she nearly toppled over again. Before she could fully process the horror, Aaron swept her into his arms, all stoic and wordless, and marched off the rooftop. 

By the time they reached the hospital, Lena spotted her parents, their worried faces a beacon in the chaps, with Nate right there beside them. 

“Lena, are you hurt? What happened?” her mom asked 

“Aaron, is she okay?” her dad added. 

Aaron replied, “She should be fine, but I recommend a full examination just to be sure. Her parents nodded like he’d handed them a prescription for calm down juice. 

Then Nate stepped forward. “Lena, are you hurt?”

Nate stiffened. Yeah, Aaron was totally blaming him for not being there when Lena needed him, and honestly? He wasn’t wrong. 

Nate didn’t argue. What could he even say? He just stood there, letting the guilt eat him alive.

Aaron didn’t stick around. Without a word, he walked off to make a phone call. 

Lena knew she wasn’t seriously hurt, but the medical staff went full overachiever anyway- blood tests, CT scans, the works–to make sure whatever drug she’d been dosed with wasn’t going to mess her up. 

When she finally left the exam room, Aaron was MIA. Instead, she walked out to find Nate and her parents waiting, their anxious eyes snapping to her. 

She stepped forward and hugged them tightly. “Dad, Mom, I’m so sorry for worrying you.” 

“It’s okay, sweetie. You’re safe now, and that’s what matters.” 

Mr. and Mrs. Lane gently patted her back.
