Even without asking, Aiden knew that the cost of the suite would be automatically added to his debt with Ryan Caldwell.
Despite the initial joy of being allowed to spend the next months in a beautiful suite, it was still not the same as staying at her own home. When the time came for Aiden to go, Grandma Thompson immediately burst into tears.
The old woman had not even parted with her grandson for a day in the past twelve years. The thought of having to leave Aiden to live alone at Harrow Lane pained her immensely.
"Aiden, you must take care of yourself," she repeated her instruction.
"I will, Grandma."
"Don't eat junk food. Cook every day," she said again.
"Yes, Grandma," Aiden obediently promised his grandmother.
"And when you have time… Please come and visit me."
The elderly woman started to sob in her lavish VIP suite. She knew that she was adding more burden to Aiden's plate, but what else could she do? She was going to miss her only grandson so much.
And their simple life back in Harrow Lane.
Aiden put his arms around his grandmother and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I will text and call you every day, and I will try to come to visit every weekend. Grandmother, the treatment is not going to last for years. Before you know it, you will be back home at Harrow Lane with me."
Grandma Thompson sobbed into Aiden's shoulder.
"Yeah… There is a guest bedroom in this suite. You must stay with me every weekend. You definitely must come to visit!"
"Yes, Grandma. I promise. I will come every weekend."
Aiden's mind wandered to the contract inside his luggage. He had time until Friday to read it through and sign it. He would have to sign, anyway. No matter what the content was. Unless he would rather see his grandmother perish slowly at home.
After giving his grandmother one last kiss, Aiden left the VIP suite. There was not much time left to catch the 2 PM train to Harrow Lane unless he wanted to spend a night at the train station while waiting for daybreak to come.
If not for the prohibition to run within the hospital area, Aiden would have run all the way outside. He instead opted to walk very fast, and almost bumped into a tall figure.
"I am sorry, I…"
Aiden looked up and gazed into Ryan's deep blue eyes. Just the vampire that he did not want to run into before he went back.
The hospital director was wearing neat but more casual wear this time around. Next to him stood a lady who was wrapped in a cream-colored sleeveless dress with a deep V-neckline. The dress accentuated her slim body while showing off her smooth, shapely legs.
It was Jenny Parsons. The woman's eyes widened when she saw Aiden.
"You…"
Aiden greeted them both with a slight bow of his head.
"Good afternoon Mr. Caldwell. Ms. Parsons."
"Hmm."
Ryan narrowed his eyes at Aiden and looked him up and down.
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I am."
"Take care."
"Thank you."
Aiden nodded at the couple before he walked past and left.
After Aiden disappeared, Ryan turned to Jenny and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
"Oh, I met him by chance," Jenny said offhandedly.
She swallowed hard when she followed Ryan into the private elevator that led directly to Ryan's office. As soon as the elevator doors closed, Jenny went back to focusing on the task at hand.
The vampire next to her tugged at his collar to loosen it, revealing a protruding jut in his throat that rolled sexily up and down. Jenny sneaked a few furtive glances at Ryan before shyly moving her eyes to stare at the elevator floor instead.
Once Jenny and Ryan closed the office door behind them, she launched herself at him and gave him a ravenous kiss. Ryan grabbed Jenny's butt and lifted her body with both hands. Jenny responded by wrapping her legs around Ryan's waist. Ryan used his left hand to hold Jenny up.
His right hand pressed at Jenny's back before slowly moving down to her waist and butt. He slipped both hands inside her dress and then swiftly sneaked into her underwear. Jenny gasped when a pair of cold hands started to knead at her twin mounds and even occasionally teased the gap between her two halves.
"Afraid?" Ryan whispered into Jenny's ears.
Jenny closed her eyes and shook her head.
She could not afford to be scared. If she came home without Ryan's seeds inside her belly, her father was going to beat her up again.
