The CEO’s Surrogate Wife Chapter 741 The Child Is Gone

He has never left the place. He’s just following behind her quietly. Whenever he sees the conflicting
relationship between Aileen and Richard, it breaks his heart. However, he dares not to step in between
them because he’s scared. He’s scared that Aileen will chase him away angrily.

After all, he’s also worried that Aileen might just ignore him for the rest of her life if he does so. He
doesn’t have a choice at the moment.

All he can do, is to protect her from afar. If the love of her life is Richard, then he won’t interfere. The
sentence keeps repeating in Aaron’s heart right now, because he wants to convince himself that badly
that maybe he and Aileen are not meant to be.

There’s no trace of politeness in Richard even after seeing Aaron who’s in deep thoughts. He pushes
his shoulders roughly, causing Aaron to fall on the ground.

“Since you’re a good-for-nothing, you will most probably suck at taking care of others. So, just let me
take care of the woman that you want to take care of,” Richard says mockingly and starts to walk
towards the exit. He stops and glances behind him once, before turning away to leave.

However, Aaron walks up and grabs him by the wrist, not letting him leave.

“Where are you going?”

Aaron knows very well that Aileen needs Richard by her side right now, so he has to try to stop Richard
from leaving.

“I never expect you to be more desperate than your woman. Aren’t you too qualified to be her
guardian? Never mind. You can’t even get the woman you love no matter how much effort you put in.
Are you sure you want to continue on being like this?” Richard looks at Aaron in disgust.



He’s once in his place. In the end, he never got to date the woman he loves. He chooses to give up. All
he wants now is revenge. He’s willing to think of many ways just to cope with his vengeful heart. He
won’t stop until he has dragged a few people down with him. Only then, can he live a peaceful life
again.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Richard asks Aaron while looking at him.

“Why will I have anything to say to you?” Aaron glares at him in return.

“If you have nothing to say, why are you stopping me from leaving? If you can’t make your mind to kill
me here, then step aside. Goodbye,” he answers calmly.

However, he can’t tolerate this carefree attitude of his…

“How dare you blabber nonsense here. Believe it or not, I can finish you off right here and now.” Aaron
rushes to block him from leaving.

“I am really willing to let you finish me off right now, because I don’t think I have any purpose living in
this world. So, please, fulfill my wish and kill me now,” Richard says in a mocking tone.

Aaron’s raging. He really wants to deliver a punch on that bastard’s face. However, Aileen’s now in
danger, and it’s inappropriate to create a big scene here. All he can do is to wait quietly at the side.

Not long after, the light of the operation room dims down. Aaron immediately goes up to the doctor and
asks, “Doctor, how is her condition?”

Aaron’s heart is racing. The stupid girl inside is no doubt his life support. He finally finds the love of his
life after so long. Why would she be the one that needs to go through so much trouble?

“Don’t worry. The operation’s a success. If there’s no complications, she’ll regain consciousness in no
time. By then, you can visit her. However, there’s one thing…” The doctor stutters, not knowing how to



deliver the news.

“However?” Aaron can’t help but to ask further.

“The patient’s child is no more.” In the end, the doctor says calmly with a slight regret laced in his voice.

“What child?” Can’t it be…

When Aaron comes back to his senses, he squats down and covers his face. Why would this happen
to her?

“How could this happen?” Aaron keeps muttering to himself, as if to wake himself up from a nightmare.

“Isn’t it a good thing for you now that the child is gone?” Richard adds fuel to the fire after sensing the
pain and sadness from Aaron. He’s happy seeing Aaron in this state. Now, torturing others has become
a hobby of his.

“Impossible. This is impossible,” Aaron continues to mutter.

The doctor doesn’t say anything further. He shakes his head and leaves the room.

Aaron ends up being the only one sitting beside Aileen in her ward. Richard has disappeared long ago
and he doesn’t have the energy to chase after him either. He has to stay by her side and protect her.
He can’t let anything happen to her again.

He wonders, how much grief she will feel when she knows that the child is gone. Aaron looks at Aileen,
her face looks so pale. How much pain did she go through alone? He dares not to think further about it.
He can’t see her in pain anymore.

“Aileen, why are you torturing yourself?”



At this moment, Aileen slightly opens her eyes. That slight movement makes Aaron jump to his feet. He
walks up immediately as she slowly opens her eyes. He takes her hand and holds them tightly, “How
are you feeling right now? Do you need the doctor? I’ll call him over if you need him.”

Even though Aileen still feels weak after regaining consciousness, her expression turns sour when she
sees it’s Aaron. “Why are you here?”

Aileen’s using every bit of her energy to glare at him. It’s so obvious that she’s still angry at him.

“I know you’re very angry right now. But, your body is still weak. You should get a good rest first,” Aaron
says softly.

“I want to see Richard. Why are you here instead of him?”

“Don’t get worked up. I will go and find Richard for you.” Aaron wants to break the news to her, but
stops when he sees her weak condition. He can’t bear to hurt her more so he decides to keep this a
secret for now.

Aileen turns away from him and asks harshly, “Where’s Richard?”

“I’ll go find him.”

“Then go now. I want to see his face, not yours.” Aileen’s words pierce him through the heart. However,
he swallows the pain himself and answers, “Okay. I’ll help you.”
