Three days after Sarah's surgeries passed in a flash. She was spending days in the hospital room, but she was not bored. Aiden never left her side. JoAnna was often there, because she works at Franciscan dical Center. Sophia and Felix as well as Stella and Edward stopped by at least once a day. Sarah was recuperating well and was ready to be discharged.
JoAnna was giving her instructions how to take care of the bandages and the wound. "I will co once a day to change your bandages and check the incisions. You need to rest and gradually increase your activity level. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop what you are doing. Let know if you need more painkillers... You are clear to shower, don't put soap where incision is. Once out of shower, dab it dry right away. No soaking the wound in the bath..."
Both Sarah and Aiden listened carefully.
When JoAnna finished with her doctorly-advices, she moved on to personal ones: "I recomnd you stay in Seattle at least one week. In case sothing goes wrong, I will be close. Decide if you want to go to Sophia's ho, or to our family villa. Dad wanted to make sure to tell you that you are very welco to go there... but it's up to you."
Sarah looked at Aiden. "What do you think?"
Aiden kissed back of her palm before answering. "I will leave it up to you to decide. I will follow you either way. In my opinion, villa is better. There are maids that can also help you out if needed."
Sarah laughed. "What maids? You are not letting anyone touch ."
"I just want to take care of you. Is that wrong?" Aiden looked pitiful, asking to be coaxed.
Sarah was coaxing him. "Of course not, I'm grateful."
He flashed a mischievous smile and leaned in for a kiss. "How grateful?"
Sarah's eyes locked on his, and the mood instantly changed into a heated one. It seed like they will eat each other up any minute.
JoAnna cleared her throat. "Hello? I'm still here..." She sighed thinking how these two are foolish. "Should I take that as you are going to the villa?"
Sarah looked at JoAnna and nodded in confirmation.
"OK. I will make arrangents for your stuff to be moved from Sophia's apartnt to the villa."
...
They reached Hill family villa, and Sarah was hesitating before entering.
"Everything OK? We can go back if you want...", Aiden held her hand.
"No need. I'm fine.", Sarah said. At that mont front door opened and old butler greeted them. "Welco Miss Sarah. Rooms are ready."
"Rooms?", Sarah raised her eyebrows.
"You room and guest bedroom." Old butler explained.
Sarah shook her head. "Move all his things into my room."
Old butler hesitated for few seconds before confirming. "Yes, Miss Sarah."
...
Sarah was watching Aiden arranging things in the closet. When he finished, he looked at her proudly, waiting to be praised. She smiled, "You did good."
"Only good?", he wanted to be praised more.
"You are childish sotis, you know?"
He made a silly face and it made her laugh.
Sarah was happy that Aiden is with her. Spending ti with him was never boring. She knows that he doesn't mind being goofy just to get her to laugh. And that makes her love him even more.
"Co, let's start working." Sarah wanted to work.
"You are not allowed to work until you recuperate." Aiden was taking it seriously. She needs to recuperate first.
"What does that an?"
"See this?" Aiden lifted his arms straight above his head. "When you can do this without any pain, then you are cleared for work."
Sarah lifted her arms in front of her and winced. There was no way to lift them higher, she felt that her insides are tearing apart. "That might take a while."
"Then... it will take a while for you to do any work." Aiden told her with a smirk.
Sarah pouted in protest, but Aiden's expression told her that there will be no compromise.
He almost lost her, again. He will make sure that she takes her ti and recuperate. This was serious. Aiden thinks that Sarah is not aware how close she was to dying this ti. Or maybe she just choses to ignore that fact. But he can't forget the agony he felt when she fell in the mall, while he held her in the cab, watching her hooked up to those machines, waiting for her to co from surgery… He was in hell until she called his na and pulled him out of it.
...
Dinner was lively. Besides Stella, Edward, Sarah and Aiden, JoAnna, Sophia and Felix were also there.
"When are you going to New York?", Stella asked Sophia.
"After dinner we will head to the airport. Company jet is already waiting."
"You will co back with Sophia?" Stella looked at Felix.
"Yes, madam.", Felix responded.
Edward was looking at Felix. "What are you... in the company?" He wanted to ask what he is to Sophia but changed his mind in the last mont.
"He designs security devices. You two should have a lot to talk about.", Sophia responded instead of Felix.
Sophia turned to Felix, "Dad is director for software developnt, but in his free ti he works on all kinds of gadgets. Also, his departnt will develop software for your creations."
Stella looked at her husband. "It seems you will get to et each other often, if nothing else then for the eting of directors once a week."
Edward nodded. He wanted a confirmation if Felix and Sophia are dating, but he was not sure how to ask.
Stella looked at Sophia and Felix, "Will you be back by next weekend?"
"Definitely" Sophia confird.
Stella smiled and shook her head. "That settles it. Next Saturday we will host a party!"
Everyone looked at Stella.
Edward was first to speak. "What party?"
"We didn't host one in a while... let's celebrate Sarah's recovery." Stella responded.
"How about we don't advertise that I had a need to recover." Sarah protested. "This is not sothing I'm proud of."
Stella understood and scaled down her excitent. "OK. Then we celebrate that Sarah is finishing last sester at University."
Sarah shook her head. "Do you need a reason?"
"Not really... but it will give us a the.." Stella smiled.
