Is this destiny? Chapter 174 - Don't Let Go

Early next morning Sarah went with Aiden to Franciscan dical Center to et with JoAnna for a full checkup. Lasted about one hour.

"We will have all results back within 24 hours. At that ti, I will let you know if we need to run more tests.", JoAnna told Sarah.

"Sounds good." Sarah responded and jumped off the examination table while adjusting her long light blue dress. She felt dizzy. They took quite a bit of her blood for analysis, and she didn't eat anything since last night, so she felt weak. Sarah reached to grab the examination table to steady herself, but Aiden was faster. Before she could reach the table, Sarah was in his embrace. She took few seconds to compose herself. "Thank you."

"It's my pleasure."

Sarah looked at Aiden and their eyes t. She felt that familiar feeling of being pulled toward him and reminded herself that they are not by themselves. She cleared her throat while forcing herself to look away from his handso face. "Let's go and get so food. I'm starving."

He laughed. "I told you last night to eat, and you thought that I have lustful thoughts."

Sarah faked a hurt expression. "You do have them."

"I will not deny that." Aiden's hug tightened.

Feeling his body pressing against hers, she looked up at him again…

They were just about to kiss, when JoAnna interrupted. "You two! You are... not alone..." JoAnna was getting uncomfortable.

There was one more nurse in the room, staring at them and blushing.

Sarah giggled. "We are leaving." She held Aiden's hand as they headed outside. She turned and glanced at JoAnna. "If anything cos up, you have my number."

They left the examination room leaving behind flustered nurse with JoAnna who shook her head helplessly.

…

After breakfast Aiden and Sarah went to the mall. They walked while holding hands and chatting. There was not a lot of people, and music from the mall speakers could be heard.

Aiden and Sarah were crossing a wide bridge that connected two sides of the mall when so soft music started. Without any warning, Aiden pulled Sarah towards him, held her right hand with his left and placed his right hand on her back as they started dancing.

She was surprised for a mont, but then she relaxed allowing him to take the lead as she placed her left hand on his shoulder.

People in the area stopped walking and watched young couple dancing in the middle of the mall like there is no one else in the world besides them. As the song progressed, more and more people gathered forming a circle around them, so even took their phones out to take photos and videos.

Aiden and Sarah didn't notice anyone, their eyes were locked into each other, and everything around them faded.

Sarah was lost in the mont. This man in front of her, holding her, her Greek God, is her everything. She is overwheld with happiness of looking at his handso face, inhaling his scent, feeling his body pressing onto hers... And nothing else matters.

Aiden looked at Sarah's deep green eyes and thought how she is his world. He can't rember how it started, but he knows that he is completely enchanted by her. As soon as she confird that she wants him near her, he was ready to do whatever it takes in order not to leave her side. He will hold her, protect her, love her… as long as she allows him to do so.

As they moved, Sarah's long dress fluttered behind her. The whole scene looked like from a movie, and whoever saw them could tell instantly that two of them are madly in love with each other. When the song ended, they kissed and people around them spontaneously started cheering and clapping.

Sarah broke the kiss and glanced left and right, surprised that she didn't notice commotion they caused.

Both Sarah and Aiden laughed and walked away while people opened the path for them.

Just as they walked through the crowd and crossed the connecting bridge, Sarah felt sharp pain in her upper back and winced. Aiden noticed and held her while observing her expression. "Are you OK?"

Before she could answer, Sarah felt her knees getting weak. She wanted to speak out, but no sound ca out, only air. She felt like her vocal cords disappeared. At that instant, she was horrified. It was the sa feeling she had that evening when Philip drugged her. She closed her eyes tightly for a second trying to co up with a plan what to do. She can't go anywhere by herself, and she can't tell him what is going on. Sarah reached to Aiden's back pocked and pulled his phone out handing it to him. He unlocked it and nervously watched her type.

She opened a chat app, and typed a ssage:

"Call JoAnna

Below left teres major

Sa as last ti with Philip"

Her hands started trembling as strength seeped out of them.

Aiden looked at his phone and blanked out. He looked at Sarah with horror in his eyes. She did her best to smile and reassure him, but her eyes showed desperation. She didn't know what is going on, or why it's going on. It was just the two of them. No one else close by. How can this happen?

He lifted her in his arms and rushed outside of the mall. Aiden got into the cab and told the driver to take them to Franciscan dical Center. He was holding Sarah in his arms in the back seat of the cab when he called JoAnna. "Sarah is not well. We are on our way."

JoAnna was confused. "What happened?"

"I don't know, but it's the sa as last ti. Can it be a relapse? We will be there in ten minutes."

Aiden didn't wait for a response. He ended the call, told the driver to hurry up, and then focused on Sarah. She was struggling to breathe and stay conscious. He held her hand in his tightly and said, "Don't let go."

Sarah looked toward him, but her eyes were not able to focus. She knows that Aiden is holding her, but everything is blurry, her eyelids got heavy and all sounds blended into a random buzzing. She closed her eyes.. Everything went dark and quiet.
