The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 295

Once Isla reached the hospital, Joanna was packing up for Aron. He was looking pale, , almost like all the blood was flushed out of his body, after the fluid infusion was almost over.

She drew herself closer to Aron as she gathered up some courage and expressed her concern, "How are you feeling now? You look rather pale. Why don't.... you consider spending another night here until your condition stabilizes."

"I assure you I feel much better than I look." Aron passed a warm smile to Isla. Within the next second Joanna addressed Isla while packing up, "The doctor just now thoroughly checked Aron's condition, which confirmed his earlier diagnosis that Aron's has fully recovered and is ready for immediate discharge."

"Grandma, please let me help you with that." Isla was just moving forward towards Joanna to help her, but she declined the offer, "No, thanks. I think it is better if you talk to Aron, while I finish this quickly before going ahead with the discharge procedure with Mike. After that, we can begin celebrating Aron's excellent recovery by having dinner together."

Meanwhile, Aron ignored that line of talk and changed the topic as Isla had still not responded to Joanna's considerate offer, "Has your company's recent business endeavors concluded successfully?"

"It went very well!" Isla nodded with a content smile. She recalled the entire account of the day to Aron with enthusiasm, "Karma has prevailed. All the injustices which happened to Autumn in the past finally paved the way to her present glory, honor and happiness."

"Is that how it is?" Aron replied with a smile as he decided to take advantage of Joanna's absence to speak his mind, "Isla, there is a matter.... which I want to discuss with you immediately."

"Please feel free to share what you have to say." Isla replied while peeling an apple for Aron as she was perched on the edge of his bed.

"So what I was thinking was that..." Aron mustered the courage to speak his mind, "Because of our eventful relationship, I want.... to marry you as soon as possible, and we are old enough to make the decision as well."

Aron released a sigh and continued to address Isla, "I hope to meet your parents and put an end to the negative relations we have been sharing, even though they may blame me for making you suffer so much."

"Are you.... serious?" Isla's judgement was clouded with doubt about Aron's sudden determination. There is a long path spanning over sometime between a romantic relationship and a marriage. However, Aron and Isla had just mellowed their romance long before getting married to each other naturally and justifiably.

Meanwhile, just thinking about the impending doom of her parents disappointment with Aron, Isla became immensely upset.

"I have reflected and thought about it over and over again." Aron thought he deserved all the difficulties Isla's parents would impose upon him and would silently bear through it all.

Isla managed to nod indicating her approval, "Ok, I will arrange for a meeting between you all when I see fit."

Upon finishing Aron's discharge formalities, Mike and Joanna were just about to enter the room when Aron nearly finished his fluid infusion. He was happy to see his grandparents warming up towards Isla.

After all, Aron's grandparents learned to respect their grandson's decision and determination to marry Isla.

Back home, Isla had proved to be of excellent help in the kitchen as she and Joanna prepped for a dinner feast. Joanna proposed dining at home and ordered the maid to buy some ingredients.
