Khushi was damn sure Payal will do something which will bring Arnav to where she don't want him to be. She will talk to him first then if it's necessary she will let him meet Aryan but will never let him touch her Aryan.
She took permission from hospital to take Aryan away for a while she'll be back in two to three hours as she can't let him stay back here alone. Nurse offer their services but she don't trust anyone as she didn't want to at the moment. What if Arnav comes there.
