The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 407

Aaron eyed Kenneth with a frosty gaze.

"Spit it out. I don't have all day for your blather," he said, not in the mood for Kenneth's usual nonsense.

Kenneth fell silent momentarily, then muttered, "Word on the street is you played the hero for Vivienne. Right now, my brother Percival is probably playing doctor with her in the hospital room; might as well be swapping spit already."

Aaron bolted upright, nearly tearing his stitches. "What did you say? Vivienne is so young. Has Percival no shame?"

"Oh, don't pin it on my brother. It's Vivienne who's been throwing herself at him!" Kenneth's face darkened instantly.

"Bullshit!" Aaron snapped back.

"I don't spout crap like you do!" Kenneth retorted coldly.

Aaron took a breath, trying to keep his cool. "What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Kenneth glanced back at the closed door of the ward, then leaned in closer to Aaron as if sharing a secret.

Aaron pushed him away, disgusted. "We're alone in here. Just get to the point."

"What if we team up to keep Vivienne away from my brother? What do you say?" Kenneth was not skulking around anymore; he had had this idea for quite some time.

Aaron's actions had proved his deep feelings for Vivienne, making him the perfect ally in Kenneth's plot to break her away from Percival.

Aaron eyed Kenneth skeptically. "Team up? How?"

They whispered back and forth until Mark strolled in with a doctor.

Kenneth's presence surprised Mark as much as Bennett and the others earlier.
