Because I Was an and He Threw Away 334

Chapter 334 A Little Space in Your Heart 

With Emily in his arms, Alexander soon slipped into slumber. 

It was five o’clock in the wee hours when Aaron wrapped up the cranial operation. 

He had stood for more than seven hours, so every part of his body felt numb. 

Remembering Emily was with Alexander at the hospital, he quickly washed up and hailed a cab. 

Arriving at the emergency department, he inquired with the nurse and learned Emily was in the emergency observation 

room. 

Without hesitation, he headed straight there. 

The door to the room was slightly ajar, and bright light spilled 

out. 

Just as he was about to push it open, he paused. 

Peering through the crack, Aaron saw Emily and Alexander on a narrow hospital bed.

Despite the limited space, they were nestled together. 

Emily looked so petite, completely encircled by Alexander.

At that moment, she seemed to be an inseparable part of him. 

Aaron withdrew his hand. 

His eyes welled with a hint of sorrow, and he stepped back from the room. 

As dawn broke, Emily woke up, feeling sticky with sweat. 

She realized she’d been in Alexander’s tight embrace, which made it hard to breathe. 

Gently pushing him aside, she got out of bed. 

Standing beside it, she recalled Aaron’s promise to return soon. 

But hours had passed, and there was no sign of him. 

Worry gnawed at her, and she decided to step out and give him a call. 

As Emily opened the door, she spotted Aaron on the bench outside. 

His eyes were red–rimmed, with dark circles beneath. A stubble 2/7

had grown on his face, making him look haggard. 

At the sight of him, Emily stopped short. Concerned, she blurted out, “Aaron, have you been here all night?” 

Aaron looked at her, his gaze filled with a touch of resentment. “Yeah,” he murmured. 

Thinking the surgery might have gone awry, Emily asked, “Didn’t the surgery go well?” 

He shook his head. “Nah, it was a success.” 

Puzzled, she asked, “Are you hungry?” 

He nodded. “Starved.” 

Frowning slightly, she said, “How about we grab some breakfast at that diner nearby?” 

“Sure,” he replied. 

Noticing his brevity, Emily asked, “Aaron, what’s up with you?” 

Aaron looked up at her, hope glimmering in his eyes. He studied her face intently. 

Then he asked, “If I passed out, would you hold me as you did 

him?”

Emily was taken aback. “Huh?” 

Before she could react, Aaron slumped against her. 

She quickly steadied his head and shouted, “Doctor! We need a doctor!” 

The doctor rushed in and took Aaron to the resuscitation room. 

After a series of tests, the doctor told a worried Emily, “It’s nothing major. Low blood sugar from skipping breakfast and lack of sleep.” 

Emily nodded. “Got it.”

Upon waking up, Aaron found himself alone in the hospital 

room. 

Emily was absent, and a sharp pang shot through his heart, as if needles were pricking it relentlessly. 

He couldn’t help but recall how Emily had stayed by Alexander’s side, never leaving and even sharing a bed with him. 

In contrast, when he’d fainted, she hadn’t even bothered to

stay with him. 

The thought was like a knife twisting in his chest. 

Summoning his strength, Aaron got out of bed and was about to make his way to the door when it suddenly burst open. 

In walked Emily, her arms laden with a breakfast tray and a bag full of fresh fruits. 

A smile instantly spread across Aaron’s face at the sight of her. 

Noticing Aaron out of bed, Emily rushed over, worry etched on her face. “Hey, what’re you doing up, Aaron?” she exclaimed. 

Without hesitation, Aaron pulled her into a tight embrace, his 

voice thick with emotion. 

“I know they mean more to you than I do, but just a little space in your heart is all I ask for, seriously, just a tiny bit.” 

Emily stiffened in his arms. She felt sorry for him, but she knew she had to be honest. “Aaron, you’re an amazing guy. You’ll definitely find someone who’ll love you to bits.” 

Aaron didn’t respond. Instead, he gently pushed her away and glanced down at the breakfast in her hands. “You brought me food? That’s great,” he said, feigning enthusiasm.

Knowing he was trying to avoid the topic, she simply nodded and replied, “Yeah.” 

Aaron grinned. “I’m starving. Let me dig in.” 

With that, he reached for the breakfast tray. 

Meanwhile, Alexander had also woken up. 

His first instinct was to reach for Emily, but all he felt was the cold, empty space beside him. 

His eyes snapped open, and he sat bolt upright in bed. 

Emily was nowhere to be seen. 

Filled with worry, Alexander slipped on his slippers and set off 

in search of her. 

After a while, he found himself in the emergency infusion 

room. 

The door was slightly ajar, and he could hear the voices of Emily and Aaron inside. 

“Emily, try this. It’s really good,” Aaron offered. 

Emily declined with a shake of her head. “I’m not hungry, 

Aaron. You eat it.”

“Come on, just a little. Let me spoon–feed you.” Aaron insisted. 

Emily was about to refuse again when the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. 

Startled, Emily turned around to see Alexander standing in the doorway, his silhouette backlit by the light. 

Although his face was in shadow, she could sense the 

anger 

radiating from him. 

Without a word, Alexander strode towards her, his steps heavy 

with annoyance.
