Chapter 215 - I Will Stay Here !
Aria took the lemonade she prepared and came back to the living room where her teacher and Helios were . She gave the first glass to Aden since he was the child and the second glass to professor Benjamin . The third glass she gave , it to Helios .
' How dare she give me the last glass of lemonade ?! ' thought Helios with an annoyed expression .
" Thank you ! " said professor
" It's my pleasure professor ! " said Aria .
" Is it a problem if we talk in private . As I told you I have a very important thing to say to you . " said professor Benjamin with a serious expression .
Aria looked at Helios with a serious expression , indicating him to get out for a bit . Helios ignored her as usual and didn't wanna leave .
" President ! This is very important to me too ! Please , can you wait for me in another room ?! Please ! " said Aria with a serious expression .
Helios noticed the strange atmosphere around them and the seriousness in Aria's eyes .
" All right ! I shall get Aden too so that you can talk in peace . " said Helios with a defeated expression and took Aden's hand then went to his room .
" Thank you president ! " said Aria with a smile .
When Helios and Aden went to Aden's room Aria looked at professor Benjamin with a polite smile .
" I can tell that you have had a hard time . You asked me to leave in order to go and visit your family and enjoy some hard-earned vacations . If I knew that things would take such a turn I would have never agreed to give you that permission...Why did you leave school ?! " said professor Benjamin with a serious look in his eyes .
Aria understood right away that he was angry and upset at the same time .
" First of all ! I am eternally grateful to you professor for helping me with my studies and showing me the right way to learn through your harsh lessons . " said Aria and lightly bowed in front of him in a respectful manner .
" The reason why I left school is because of my little brother . I have finally found him a possibility so that he can be cured . Even if all that I have done and all that I have worked for is thrown like trash . " said Aria with a smile .
" Do you wanna continue this even though you may never be able to turn back ?! " said professor Benjamin .
" Yes ! If it's for my family and especially for my little brother , I will never hold back ! Never ! " said Aria with a serious expression .
" There's a bright future filled with success , fame , power and money that's right ahead of you.....you are wasting it just like that ?! Do you realize what you are doing Aria ?! What happened to that student who had all those ambitions to shone among common people ?! To secure a bright future not only for yourself but for your family too ! I more than anyone know how hard you have worked for all this time . Now that you are close to the top you want to give up all our work through these years ?!....You disappointed me ! " said professor Benjamin .
" I can never apologize enough to you professor . Among all those excellent and rich students you choose me ! I was a mess ! I was poor and I wasn't good enough in my studies either . You were the one who made me arrive at the level I am today and I am eternally grateful for that . I will definitely repay your kindness in the future . " said Aria .
" ...Your brother is diagnosed with autism , right ?! You know very well that his condition has no cure . " said professor Benjamin .
" I heard that there's a gram of hope in his case and I will do anything I can to make sure that he gets well . I know that this possibility has a high chance to just end before it even begins but...if I don't take the chance , I will never know the outcome . " said Aria .
" For a chance you aren't even sure off , you are throwing away all of our hard work ?!....What have I taught you ?!....You always need to check twice before making a step because there's always a trap in front of you......yet now , you tell me that you will give up everything for a one percent of success possibility ?!.......Have you gone crazy from studying too much ?! " said professor Benjamin with an angry tone .
" ........That small chance ! That one percent rate is the only thing that can change my whole world and can help me start a new beginning . Have you ever had a person who's diagnosed with autism in your family professor ?!... " said Aria with a sad smile .
Professor Benjamin remained silent when Aria asked him such a question .
" You don't have a person like this in your family . You can't possibly know how I feel ! Just thinking that he will never have friends , will never be able to go out with friends his age , will never be able to date a girl , will not create his own family when he grows up.................You can never imagine the pain that I feel when he has so many things that he isn't able to enjoy in life because of this cursed disease . I am in pain every time I see him . When he smiled at me in such a warm way , my stomach feel empty and I can hardly hold my tears back . I wanna scream for help so badly , just to get rid of all this anxiety that I feel inside but I know that the moment I show a weakness........All of my hopes will be crashed in a second . In my family , I am the only one who's truly strong . Because of this my mother has suffered from severe stress in the past . I didn't know what to do when seeing her like that . She only found strength in me . Since then I decided that I will work hard to become strong since no one apart from myself will be my strength . " said Aria with a serious tone and the sadness could be felt clearly just from her voice .
Helios on the other room , who was eavesdropping on their conversation felt a sudden chill and looked at Aden .
' Your influence on her is truly incredible ! There's no person in this world who would do so much for their sick brothers or sisters . Now I understand that my words were very harsh !..........No one would be able to smile positively the way she does if it were in this situation........She is such an ambitious girl yet......she doesn't think twice when it comes to her family.......Giving up everything just for the sake of your family........can people really do that ?!.......A person that loves you for who you are , unconditionally of whether you are rich or poor........Aria.......It must be a nice feeling . ' thought Helios with a smile and imagining if such care like Aria's would be directed towards him .
He had the world but such a pure feeling could never be bought with money , no matter how much it cost because, in reality , it was priceless .
" I understand that you wanna protect them but unless you are powerful yourself , you can never be able to help them the way you hope . " said professor Benjamin .
" What's the use of having all that money when the chance of healing my brother is gone ?!.....The health of a person is uncomparable with money . I believe in my abilities and in myself ! I can find....one way or another to make money and achieve my goal but I can never find a chance like this for my brother . " said Aria with a determined tone .
" ........I will ask you for the last time ! Will you come back to France with me and become what you have always wanted or.....will you live your life like any other ordinary person near your family ?! " said professor Benjamin .
Helios smiled when he heard his question because he knew the answer to it already .
" ......I will stay here and make sure my brother is healed . Once he is alright , I will take care of my future . I will wait for him no matter how long it takes . In the meanwhile, I will try to create a living here in Denmark . " said Aria with a smile which made professor Benjamin realize that she would not move from Denmark .
In the meantime , in England Ace's classes just finished and he decided to go back to the library and do some research on the latest program .
' Today's lesson was so boring ! Since I have come here I feel like I am repeating the first grade of technology skills . ' thought Ace while looking at his emails .
When looking at his emails , he was reminded that Helios had asked him to prepare a complete report over the matter with mr Bob . He had collected all the info he could find and also the photos made at the fire scene .
' I better send this to him fast then I can concentrate on the competition . ' thought Ace and was searching for Helios's name .
Usually, the first name on his contact list was his mother's name . When Ace prepared the file and was ready to send it to Helios , a person bumped into him and the name of their mother was added next to Helios . Ace pressed the button to send then put the phone in his pocket and bent to get the two books that fell from his hand .
" I am very dude ! " said the guy who bumped into him and took one of the books then gave it to him .
" No worries ! " said Ace with a smile .
After taking the books Ace looked at his watch and noticed that he had to hurry to the library to borrow the books that he needed .
At home , madam Kejt was preparing dinner while her husband was watching tv . After putting the dish inside the cooker she took her phone to call Ace when he would be back because tomorrow it was a weekend and at weekends the students were allowed to go visit their homes .
' Oh , a message from Ace ! ' thought madam Kejt while looking the phone and opened the message .
When she read the content of the message , her smile vanished in an instant and her hands started to tremble a little .
" That.....troublesome , stupid DAUGHTER !!!!!!!!!! " said madam Kejt with a loud voice in anger .
Her husband heard her from teh living room and went to the kitchen to see what was wrong .
" Wife ?! What's wrong with you ?! " asked her husband .
" Husband ! We are going back to Denmark ! Get your luggage ready and this time put everything you have inside because we will be staying there for a long time ! "' said madam Kejt infuriated .
" Huh ?!.... " said her husband confused when and a bit scared when he saw how angry she was .
