The Traps of Black Swan

Which sane person would like to see somebody dying in front of them?

Anyway, two didn't give up, a senior nurse was checking if the operation theatre was free if needed and Naomi who didn't leave Aarvi's side.

Naomi muttered which looked like she was encouraging herself but Naomi was actually looking at Aarvi's drooping eyes and pushed her to never give up. "You can do it, keep going. You can pull this off. You gonna be okay with this…"

The time was like a ticking bomb, the beeps in the room were making the situation look even worse, probably not only Aarvi's heart was unstable, other's heart was beating at the rhythm of the beeps.

While the senior doctor thought Naomi was still simple-minded and naive in the medical field, Aarvi did hear Naomi's words.

The pain is unbearable and the death really did feel like the easiest way to escape but Naomi's words of 'Keep going.' affected Aarvi.

As Ava Kelly, she gave up many of her likes and dislikes, many of her interests due to her parents. Now she didn't have parents, nobody was there to hold her back, so she didn't want to give up on anything.

She had just got her new identity, she returned to Skylar, started planning out for the next financial growth of the company, all were excited to work and bring the Skylar to new heights, she really didn't want to give up so easily.

If this is what is called a second chance to live, Aarvi really wanted to make use of it.

Naomi ignored little sighs, shaking heads, and lost the feeling of nurses and the doctor. She clasped her palms and firmly pumped on Aarvi's chest a few times continuing to boost Aarvi.

Suddenly the continuous beeping sound sounded twice before everything cooled down.

All froze, even afraid to look at the monitors or Aarvi. Naomi, whose eyes were glued on Aarvi was still muttering, "Please, please, wake up, wake up. You have to be alright…"

The machines which a few seconds delay beeped once and started showing the reading of heartbeats which wasn't normal but risk-free.

Aarvi blinked and started taking deep long breaths glancing at Naomi who was happier to see her alive while the senior was surprised.

Aaron who had rushed in breathed a sigh of relief without hearing the nurses praising Naomi and the latter's gaze on him. He just had his eyes on Aarvi, wiping her tears, "Take some rest, I will be here." His cold voice had relief.

Aarvi was too exhausted to react to anything before she closed her eyes.

--- Present ---

Aarvi didn't exactly know what happened after she slept that day, but continued about Naomi, "Naomi didn't earn the respect from nurses and doctors overnight, she had really worked hard for it even though all she wanted was this dumb man to notice her."

Nikun and Shea nodded in appreciation of Naomi's efforts.

Aarvi turned to Aaron and asked, "You reported the senior doctor to Uncle Karsen for further investigation on his behavior, did you say anything to Naomi? At least a word of appreciation for saving me?"

Aaron didn't respond. For him, it was the duty of a doctor. The three knew Aaron probably didn't even look at Naomi.

"I am not sure if she saved me as a doctor or for you, that doesn't mean I will surrender my life to her." She will probably go out of her way to help Naomi if it is required and well-intentioned but it had the limits.

If every patient starts thinking they owe a life to their doctor for saving them, Everyone would pray for the doctor instead of god.

Aaron felt relaxed hearing her, he is a doctor too, he saved a few lives but he never felt those owe him life so he didn't want Aarvi to think she owes Naomi.

Aarvi continued to coax Aaron so that he could really go easy on Naomi, "I indeed took away her motivation for life, so it is apparent she starts to hate me. I just want her to find new motivation and a new goal."

Naomi followed Aaron and learned medicine. She couldn't get Aaron and only her studies are left with her. But whatever Aaron was doing would take away the reason for Naomi's life.

"You think she can face anybody after losing her medical license?" Aarvi asked.

Aaron felt like Aarvi did a deep study on Naomi Fisher. "Are you saying she should be let off for what she did to you and how she threatened the doctor? It is unlawful and you know that." He reasoned back.

It was transparent Aarvi was looking at only the positive side whereas Aaron wanted to avoid the possible arising problem if Naomi is out of prison.

Shea was shocked to hear Naomi threatened a doctor but she didn't comment when the couple was arguing due to the third person. Nikun and Shea hoped the couple doesn't create distance with each other for their different views due to a third person.

"Needless to say, I am aware of her tricks better than you." She pouted at him to lighten the mood before she continued, "Her biggest punishment is falling on the face in front of you and her colleagues. I am not asking you to keep her around us."

She wasn't an idiot to have her next to him and see her poison her food, "Her grandfather gave up on her, Uncle Karsen fired her, the Brown siblings are already cool-headed. So I am asking for a chance for her to redeem." She shrugged and looked front.

Licking her lips, she grabbed a cupcake silently indicating they don't have to argue so much because of Naomi. She won't let Naomi affect their relationship in any way.

This was the second time Aarvi spoke for Naomi with Aaron, if he was still adamant about punishing her with the law, Aarvi wouldn't meddle with it. She could only think Naomi messed with the wrong person and that's Aaron Rivas.

Shea whispered to Nikun, "You and Sister-in-law should learn from them." Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm for his brother and his girlfriend for always making a mountain out of a molehill before calming down.

After Aarvi ate all the cupcakes, she focused on the brother and sister, "Shea, why don't you rest in the guestroom?" She still has to get over her jetlag.

Shea nodded and showed her gratification, "Thank you so much. I badly need a good night's sleep."

Aarvi stood up to show her the guest room but Aaron pulled her down, "There are no more rooms."

Morris brother and sister: "..."

Aarvi bit her lip thinking Aaron might have thought Shea might stay with them in the penthouse so she suggested to him, "We have so many rooms, Shea likes our place, we can live together. I can accompany her to show the city too."

Aaron: "..."

'Live together?' Hearing her words, he wanted to toss the two Morris out of the penthouse immediately.

Shea jumped on her toes, "I would love it. I won't have to be alone in the city." She was really excited and was ready to say hello to the penthouse.

Nikun who is a man, who knew Aaron wanted to stay alone with Aarvi wordlessly looked at the two girls.

Aarvi flashed an evil grin at Aaron who felt like she was challenging him.. Since he ruined their beautiful evening she was up to ruin his plan.
