Chapter 241: Instructed to be on the toes.

Knowing Aiden from the past?

Arwen paused at that thought.

She always felt that sense of familiarity around him but never found any hint of him in her memories.  Raising her brows in surprise, she asked, “You know him?”  Daniel’s brows furrowed deeply.

“I don’t know but the last time when I saw him, he felt like someone I have met or seen before.” He then paused before continuing, “Arwen, is he the same guy from the past?” Daniel asked.

He might not know him much, but he has the faint memory of hearing the talks of a few people.

But not long after, everyone seemed to have forgotten him as if there was nothing.  Arwen frowned, her brows furrowing deeper.

But then her lips curled in a smile of confusion.

“Which guy, Daniel?

And what past?”  “The one you were -” Daniel frowned finding the befuddled expression on Arwen’s face a little too believing.

He hesitated looking at her.

Did he guess something wrong?

Since the day he had known Arwen, he had never seen her involved with anyone.

Only her arrangement with Ryan was known.  Arwen who was truly puzzled, waited for Daniel to speak but when she felt the silence stretching for long, she prompted him.

“Daniel?”  As if lost in his own trance, Daniel was snapped at her call.

Blinking, he stared at her, realizing something.

“Oh, it seems I misheard something.”  “Misheard something?” she raised a brow, and he nodded, this time with more conviction.  “Yes, I think so.

You know people can have their own version of stories -always,” he explained.

“Maybe, I heard one of them and believed something that wasn’t actually true.”  “Oh, back in the days, people did talk a lot,” Arwen said with a soft chuckle, but a flicker of doubt was in her eyes, as if there was something that she couldn’t bring herself to believe.  Still, she didn’t ask further.

For reasons she couldn’t explain, a faint sense of fear settled at the bottom of her heart.  Daniel noticed the subtle change in her expression.

Concern laced his voice as he stepped forward.

“Hey, what happened?

Are you alright?”  Arwen blinked and nodded quickly.

“Yes,” she said, clearing her throat and steadying herself.

“Of course, I am fine.

I am just… getting a bit late.” She glanced around, as if searching for a distraction from what she was feeling inside.

“If there is nothing else, I will go first.

Let’s meet another day and talk about this.

Okay?”  Daniel nodded, choosing not to press her further.

“Yes, you should go.

I won’t hold you up any longer.

Take care and drive safe.”  “You too.” With that, Arwen offered him a brief smile before turning to leave.

As she approached her car, Alfred stepped forward and opened the door for her.  “Thank you, Alfred,” Arwen said softly as she slipped into the seat.  Alfred bowed slightly in respect.

“It’s my duty, ma’am.” Closing the door behind her, he walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and started the engine.

With the day’s itinerary already shared, he didn’t need to ask where they had to head next.  Meanwhile, Arwen sat lost in her own thoughts, her hands instinctively pressing against her chest, right over her heart.

She couldn’t understand the strange discomfort swirling inside her.

Though Daniel has denied it, his words lingered, leaving her with an inexplicable ease.  “Madam, are you alright?” Alfred asked, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

“Would you like me to take you to Dr.

Clark’s clinic?”  Since the last time, all of them were notified to be vigilant around Arwen.

Even a little of her discomfort was asked to be taken seriously.

Aiden didn’t want to take any risk when it came to Arwen, especially when Jason had warned him about her situation.  Arwen shook her head, her gaze shifted in the direction of Alfred.

“I am fine, Alfred.

Maybe I am a little tired, but it will be fine.

Once I complete my work at the company, I can get back home and rest.”  Alfred didn’t look convinced but nodded nonetheless.

“If you feel unwell, please let me know immediately, madam.”  When Arwen heard the fear in his voice, she couldn’t keep her lips from curling.

“You sound so scared, Alfred.

If people don’t know, they would think that I have some kind of terminal illness.

You seem so careful.”  “Ma’am, we are asked to be on our toes around you,” Alfred said, looking at the road while manoeuvring the steering wheel.  “You are asked to be on your toes?” Arwen didn’t know this and was slightly surprised.

She knew it was no other but Aiden.

But why did he have to do that?  Alfred nodded before saying, “Sir, cares about you a lot.

He has asked us to make sure that you are safe all around the clock.

While I am driving you, it’s my duty to make sure you stay safe.”  “When did he give such an order?”Arwen asked, suddenly curious to know more.

She never knew one of such instructors was given.

She thought she knew all that Aiden was doing or did for her, but only now she realized that there might be something he did for her, without letting her know.  Alfred hesitated but replied, “It was after you were hospitalized the last time, Madam.

Sir hasn’t left your room until the next morning.

It was only after you woke up the next day, he asked Mr.

Jones to send a pair of clothes for him to change.”  Arwen’s brows knitted.

She remembered seeing him the very moment she opened her eyes, but she never thought he stayed there the whole night without leaving for even a second.

No doubt the nurses were so scared of him.

His presence there might have scared them.  “He was that concerned?” she murmured under her breath.

“Didn’t I just faint because of low blood sugar level?

He should have eased a bit.”
