All too late for his love

Willow's heart sank. She never wanted Aaron to Imow about her illness, fearing it might affect his upcoming surgery.

she playfully pinched his cheek. "You heard what I said to Zayn just now, didn't you?"

Seeing Aaron nod, Willow continued with a smile, "Silly, I was just lying to him. You watch dramas too, right? The ladies in dramas nowadays often play the victim. I wanted to try it to change his mind, but I falled "

y?" Despite being smart for his age, Aaron was only three and a half years old after all. He didn't understand the complexities that adults face.

"Really?"

Willow ruffled his hair. "Of course! Lying makes your nose grow long. I want to stay pretty, so no long noses for me. Don't worry, Aaron. I'm very healthy. I still want to see you grow into a strong young man."

At this moment, the door to the ward swung open. Zayn entered, picked up the car keys left on the table, and left right away As he turned away, he sneered at Willow. His expression showed that he was clearly mocking her. It was obvious that he had heard the lies she told Aaron to comfort him.

Willow lowered her eyes. But remembering that Aaron was still next to her, she put on a cheerful demeanor.

However, Aaron, who had been quietly snuggling against her, suddenly became incredibly agitated. Like an angry little beast, he charged at Zayn and viciously bit his wrist You bullied my mom! You're a bad guy!"

Aaron put all his strength into biting Zayn. In the blink of an eye, Zayn's wrist began to bleed.

"Mom, don't cry."

Aaron extended his bandaged hand, clumsily trying to wipe away the tears from Willow's eyes. Xit doesn't hurt at all really. Lying makes your nose grow long. I'm not lying. It doesn't hurt at all."

Willow walled at those words. Aaron continued to wipe her tears away. "Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.m can't protect you, and keep causing trouble for your " Willow turned her face away in distress, not wanting Aaron to see her in such a tear-stricken state.

How could Aaron be at fault? Aaron was the best son anyone could ever ask for.
