Chapter 144

작가: Love Berries
The moment those words left Grace’s mouth, it hit Tessa like a bolt of lightning. How could she not understand what her mother truly meant?

It was obvious now that Grace had started to doubt her.

She must have believed at least some of what had been said.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have handled her this way.

"No... no, please, Mom. I don’t want to rest... I just want to stay by your side," Tessa pleaded, voice trembling, eyes filled with tears.

But Grace turned away, refusing to even look at her tear-streaked face.

Aurora stood to the side, a faint, cold smile tugging at her lips as she watched the drama unfold.

On the surface, it looked like their mother had taken a stand and punished Tessa.

But Aurora saw through it.

This wasn’t justice—this was protection, plain and simple.

If Grace truly wanted the truth, there would’ve been a proper investigation, not this quiet dismissal.

Aurora’s heart sank.

Even now, even after everything, Grace was still shielding Tessa.

    But why did it still feel like Grace preferred her more?Tessa wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but sometimes, it really seemed that way.In the end, she stopped dwelling on it. Her eyes flashed with determination. This wasn’t the time to get lost in feelings.What mattered now was pushing Julian to move forward with the next step.After all, Arnold was stubborn.If he didn’t see something with his own eyes, he would never let it go.With that thought, Tessa sent Julian a message.“Move faster. My mom already knows about Aurora’s coma. If she gets transferred to another hospital, it'll be a lot harder to tamper with anything afterward.”Seeing the message, Julian quickened his pace as he got dressed.He had to rush to the hospital and get the doctors on the same page.He couldn’t let them transfer Aurora.Julian arrived at the hospital just in time, beating Arnold there by a few minutes.As he stepped into the main lobby, Arnold followed right behind.Julian spotted him im

    Grace smiled gently. “I know, you’re a good girl.”Tessa gave her a quick hug and went upstairs.Once her figure disappeared on the second floor, Arnold finally couldn’t hold back. “Madam, why didn’t you tell Miss Tessa that Miss Aurora is unconscious in the hospital?”In front of the butler, Grace seemed to let down all her burdens, exhaling deeply.“You don’t understand. One more person knowing won’t help anything.”She looked conflicted. “Besides, even if Tessa knew, it wouldn’t change anything. What matters most right now is figuring out what caused Aurora to fall unconscious.”Arnold thought for a moment and realized she was right.Even if Tessa found out, she wouldn’t be able to help. It would only add one more person to worry about.It wouldn’t accomplish much.“Alright then, Madam. If there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word.”Grace nodded. “Go to First Light Hospital and have them do a full-body examination for Aurora. We need to know exactly what’s going on.”“

    But Grace no longer had the energy to care about any of that.She had thought Aurora would be just fine on her own out there.Who would have expected that in just a few days, she’d end up in the hospital?Grace still couldn’t quite accept it. Now, facing Tessa’s smiling face, she didn’t even know what to say.Tessa felt uneasy under her mother’s stare.Why was Grace looking at her like that?Had she found out something?No, that couldn’t be. Everything she had done was well-hidden—no one could possibly know, unless she chose to tell them herself.With that thought, Tessa grew bolder.She looked directly at her mother and said, “Mom, I’m back. Why are you still sitting here in the living room?“And just now, when I was talking to you, you looked completely spaced out. You didn’t even respond.”Grace finally snapped out of it.“No, I was just thinking about the company,” she said, forcing herself to sound collected, as if she hadn’t just been lost in thought.Arnold watched Grace close

    How could Julian not fall for a woman like Tessa?He didn’t want to let go of her, holding her tightly as they cuddled on the bed.Tessa was happy at first, but her smile eventually faded.“Alright, alright, stop clinging to me. We’ve got more important things to deal with!”After a while, Tessa felt completely numb.Julian was great in so many ways, except he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.Once he got into something, his brain seemed to focus only on that one thing.When it came to serious matters, he didn’t seem to have much energy left.It was like, in Julian’s mind, bedroom affairs were somehow more important than real-life ones.Thinking about it annoyed her.Julian finally let go, slightly embarrassed. “Okay, okay, I just love you too much, baby. That’s why I didn’t want to let go.“Come on, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be like this.”Tessa was amused by his sweet words, but she didn’t forget the more pressing issues.“Alright, stop with the sweet talk. The hospital

    "My Aurora… my sweet Rora… I'm so sorry…"Lucas held Aurora’s hand against his forehead. A single tear slipped from the corner of his eye and fell softly into her palm.Unfortunately, Aurora was still under the effects of medication, lost in unconsciousness, fast asleep…The two of them simply stayed there in silence, not thinking about what came next.All they wanted was to quietly be together, without anyone disturbing them.When Ian returned, he found Lucas holding Aurora’s hand, resting beside her.After a sleepless night, finally seeing her brought him a sense of relief, and his whole body seemed to relax.Because of that, Lucas was able to lean peacefully by her bedside, savoring this rare moment of quiet.Seeing this, Ian didn’t go in.He wasn’t the type to miss social cues. With such a tender moment between the two, how could he bear to interrupt?Instead, Ian waited quietly outside, never stepping in.With Aurora beside him, Lucas finally slept soundly.Since yesterday, this

    Would that have kept him from missing Aurora’s call as well? Those two were absolutely insane!Wendy shut her eyes and quickly went back to pack her things.Lucas had already made himself clear—if she still didn’t get it, she’d truly be overstepping.When Lucas returned to the room, he saw Leonard standing beside Aurora’s bed, his face full of pity.Just as he reached out, about to touch Aurora’s cheek, Lucas slapped his hand away.A second later, his fist landed squarely on Leonard’s face.“What do you think you’re doing?”Leonard let out a cold snort. “What, just because you can't protect her, no one else is allowed to take care of her?”“Get the hell out!” Lucas’ presence filled the room. “Don’t forget, you’re just a business partner. I’m her husband, her legal husband.”“As for you...” Lucas looked him up and down with disdain. “At best, you’re just a pathetic little side piece.”The words “pathetic little side piece” pierced Leonard deeply.He looked at Aurora’s face, eyes fill
