Chapter 43: Shopping II

~~~~~~

With Aldrin, they got into the most famous mall in the city.

As they entered the mall, Aldrin received a call from his home reminding him to not forget picking Elizabeth for dinner. When Aldrin said he was already with her his parents didn't take much time from him and cut the call giving them space.

Elizabeth was walking in front of him with her phone rummaging for some good gift stuff as she perked up from her phone she heard a loud crash. A scorching heat burned the back of her hand.

In an instant, she felt her wrist being pulled away by a large hand.

"Careful."

His concerned tone revealed sensitivity.

At that moment, Elizabeth realized that the back of her hand was scalded a little by the hot tea. She felt embarrassed as she didn't focus ahead and was busy browsing through her phone.

Her hand was hurt twice a day, she wanted to hide her hands, but before she could move, a pure white handkerchief was slowly extended to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly accepted it. She lightly wiped the tea that stained the back of her hand.

"Thank you."

She thanked Aldrin softly and an apologetic smile spread across her beautiful little face.

"Did you get hurt?" He frowned and looked at her slightly reddened hand as he asked.

Elizabeth lightly shook her head. She smiled and responded with some difficulty, "No worries. I'll just go back and ice it."

"What's so interesting on the phone, so much so that it made you this absent-minded?"

There was a gleam in Aldrin's eyes as he nonchalantly looked at the person who bumped to her standing beside them. What entered his line of sight was a man with an apologetic smile.

It seems both sides are irresponsible and were absent-minded.

"I was just browsing about the gifts," turning to the person she bumped he was wearing a mask but had a noble temperament around him she said apologetically, "I am sorry previously I didn't look out carefully."

"It's alright, I was also a mistake and didn't notice you sorry, you also get scalded by it. I am sorry." the man said sincerely.

By admitting their mistakes both of them part their ways. They were strangers and clarifying things didn't require any more reason to chat.

The man looks back for a second before exiting the mall.

"Let's go to the hospital" Aldrin advised.

"No, it's alright it wasn't that much just my skin is a little sensitive and we are here to buy a gift. After buying gifts we will just reply the ointment and it will be alright," she replied firmly.

Aldrin knew she was determined and doesn't pressure her more. He knows if she once decided something nobody can change it though.

Hauling to the jewelry section they bought an antique jewelry box for the lady Johnson, as she was recently interested in collecting the antique jewels according to Aldrin. As we knew that some rich have a different kind of hobbies and collecting different items is one of them so she didn't doubt it.

When it comes to Uncle Michael, they bought him scented tea which he was served daily. It was a highly auspicious tea for nobles and provide them a peace of mind. It gave them a sense of relief which was good for his health.

All of it was paid from Elizabeth she didn't allow Aldrin to pay it and paid for it beforehand because it was the gift from her side and she will not take a no from him so lastly, Aldrin compromises but next time he will be sure that she will use his money it was for her and it's right for to spend.

Otherwise, who will spend off his wealth? He knows she doesn't lack money but he earns for her to spend and with this, his heart will also feel delightful. So in the future, he will be sure of it.

Elizabeth was not aware of his thought if she is she must be shocked by learning them.

For Natalie Elizabeth had already got something on her hand which she will give her tomorrow as she can't take it in front of any one of them it's a little secretive, best sisters one's.

As they selected the gifts Elizabeth's hand started hurting, it was swelled a little. She frowns in pain but didn't want to trouble Aldrin. Even after her hiding Aldrin find it out as she swelled hand was very clearly visible.

He didn't waste much time now and take her back and call the driver, "Come to the front of the mall fast."

"It's okay not much of a problem it will be alright." She tried to convince but looking at his sulking expression she doesn't say much and follows him.

"Boss, where are we going?" the driver asked.

"City Hospital," Aldrin said and get seated with Elizabeth. He didn't utter any more words. He calls his assistant and asks him to make an appointment with the doctors at the city hospital immediately.

Elizabeth did not say anything either, she knows it's her mistake. She just shrunk slightly into her seat and gently put her injured hand on her knee while her other hand lightly held it down. Then, she leaned her head against the window and looked outside.

The car swiftly passed through the traffic and reached the city hospital.
