Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 118 - Sister's Boyfriend



The next three hours were spent in going through the information Ivy had collected. There was nothing significant in them other than data related to some of the previous works her father had worked on before he took the new project. There were also details about her father's colleagues who had worked with him. However, the interesting part was all of them had gone missing more or less around the same time as their father. Some were even found dead under mysterious circumstances.

There was some information about the hospitals that were covered in the sting operation as well as the doctors involved in it. When they were going through this part of the information, Aria remembered something.

"Wait, I just remembered something." Aria suddenly stopped making the other three look at her.

"What?" Ivy questioned her.

"I got to know recently that the Director of the Royal Health Care Hospital and the Regal Medical Hospital is one and the same."

"Is it?" Ivy asked dumbfounded while Joshua and Noah looked at her perplexed. How did she even find out this information? This had been erased a long time ago.

"Yes, I remembered reading about it when Royal Hospital took over Regal."

"That's great then. We could enquire at your hospital who the Director is." Ivy suggested. After a long time, they had got some leads. She would not let go of it.

"Yeah, we could do that. But I am not confident in the results."

"Why?"

"Our Director is quite hard to approach and I haven't seen his face till now. Not only me, most of the staff haven't seen him."

"That's bad," Ivy said dejectedly. The room became silent once again. After a while Aria thought of something and her eyes brightened up once again.

"Wait a minute. If I remember correctly, Ian has been working in the hospital since Royal took over Regal. We could ask him. Maybe he knows something."

"Is that possible?"

"There is nothing wrong in trying. What do you say guys?" Aria and Ivy stared at the two men waiting for their opinions.

"We could do that," Noah said calmly although he was getting jittery from within.

'This was not going well. The twins had found out a lot more than they should have known. This was becoming dangerous now.'

Joshua too had the same thought. Now, how were they going to stop the sisters? Ian could make up a lie, there was no problem with that. However, the problem lied when they find out the truth in the future. The betrayal would hit them hard. The girls trusted them too much that they had shared with them the biggest secret of life. However, the men were hiding such a huge secret from them and moreover they were putting up an act in front of them. This was not good.

Joshua looked at Noah. He immediately understood what Jo wanted to say. However, he too did not know how to approach the situation.

"So, two boxes done. Now we are left with Aria's box." Ivy said lying her head on the sofa headrest. She was tired of going through all the papers. Her neck was aching and she was hungry. The information she had collected was not of much help. So they had only skimmed through it.

"Let's take a break," Noah said diverting his gaze from Joshua.

"You guys are staying for dinner right? I'll prepare something." Ivy got up.

"Spare me. I am going out in an hour." Aria shouted, messaging her neck.

"Where are you going at this time of the night?" Ivy looked at the time and it was past seven. Hearing Aria's words Noah too turned to look at her waiting for her reply. 'Why does she need to go out now? Is something the matter?'

"I am meeting Danny for dinner. He is coming to pick me up at eight."

'Again Danny. Who the hell is this Danny? Why is he sticking to Aria like a gum?' Noah thought, his blood boiling. He did not know that Danny was none other than Daniel, his sister's boyfriend. He was yet to meet him in person.

"Is it?" Ivy shouted back.

"Yes, we have some things to settle," Aria remembered how Danny had hidden his relationship with Rachel from her and she was furious. There was a reason why people had best friends.

Taking a glance at Noah's cold gaze, Joshua couldn't stop himself from grinning. Though he too did not know about Danny's truth, he was thoroughly enjoying Noah's angry look. Clearing his throat, he turned to Aria.

"Um, Aria. Who is Danny?"

"Danny? He is a friend of mine. We grew up together since childhood."

"Danny boy. Huh. Is he coming here?" Ivy walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand.

"Yes."

"Nice. I can have some fun." Ivy beamed. "Anyway, is any of you allergic to anything?"

"Nope." Joshua and Noah answered at the same time.

"Great."

"Let me help you." Noah stood up.

"Not a chance brother-in-law. Taste my food today, be my guest. I am sure you wouldn't have eaten anything as good as the food I make." Ivy said with pride and confidence.

"Not a chance. You haven't tasted Noah's food then. He is the best." Joshua stood facing Ivy with his hands folded.

"You know to cook?" Aria asked surprised.

"Yeah. I started living alone after graduation and I went abroad to do my Masters. So, I eventually learned to cook."

"That is so great." Aria gazed at him in admiration. Noah chuckled seeing her give him a fangirl look.

"Okay then. Let's have a cooking competition someday and see who wins." Ivy said with a provocative stare.

"I am in." Joshua accepted the challenge at once.

Noah looked at him flabbergasted. He did not even ask his opinion and had accepted the challenge on his behalf. 'Hello, I am the one who will be doing the cooking.'

"Okay. Aria you be the judge then." Ivy pointed at her.

"Why me?"

"Because the candidates are your sister and boyfriend. So I don't think you will be biased and if you are, I am sure you will be dead on the spot."

Aria gulped on listening to Ivy's threat. 'She was a mere bystander. How did she even get involved in this fight?'

"Fair enough," Joshua replied once again. He knew Aria would not be biased.

'Hello. I am still here. At least take my opinion.' Aria thought inwardly.

"For now, we will put with your food." Joshua sassed.

"Are you doubting my skills?" Ivy narrowed her eyebrows.

"Uh-oh," Aria whispered.

"What happened?" Noah questioned from the side.

"Ivy goes berserk when somebody challenges her. Stop your friend right now or else there will be bloodshed."

"Oh." Noah took a glimpse and saw Ivy practically spitting fire. Before the situation could escalate to another level, he spoke up.

"Ivy, I am hungry. Could you please prepare dinner?"

"Oh. I am sorry. Wait for a few minutes." Ivy glared at Joshua and ran to the kitchen.

"Thank you." Aria breathed. "But I must warn you she is a tough competition, she is a great cook."

"Is it? Then it will be fun competing against her. Do you cook?"

"Me? No way. If I cook, then it will be a disaster. I can barely make coffee."

"It's fine. I'll cook for you in the future." Aria's heart fluttered like a hummingbird listening to his words. How could someone be so perfect?

"Hello. I am right here and I am definitely not interested in dog food." Joshua interrupted them.

"Then get yourself a girlfriend." Noah retorted making him shut up while Aria giggled.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

"That must be Danny." Aria got up to open the door as Noah's eyes followed her. He waiting to see who this Danny was. Since the day he had met Aria he had heard his name a lot of times. Now it was finally time for them to come face to face.

After a few seconds, Aria returned with a man who Noah recognized immediately. How would he not know about him? He had done a background search on him just a few days back.

Seeing Noah's face, Aria was confused. "Noah, this is Danny."

"This is Danny?" He asked in shock.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Yeah. He is my sister's boyfriend."
