Chapter 243

Author: Love Berries
Aurora immediately understood what her mother meant.

Once again, Grace’s favoritism was as blatant as ever.

She uncrossed her arms, narrowing her eyes slightly. “Mom, are you really going to take her side again?”

How many times had this happened already? Why couldn’t her mother see it?

Grace remained unfazed. “I’m just being honest. And like I said, I’ll deal with her.”

She added, “Besides, you already secured the project, didn’t you?”

“Mom, how is that the same thing?”

Aurora’s voice rose with frustration.

Grace might have sounded indifferent, but she knew exactly what was going on.

She just chose to play dumb.

Seeing her daughter upset, Grace softened and glanced at her profile. “Rora, don’t dwell on it.

“Let me handle the rest. Tonight, I’ll cook your favorite food, just like when you were little, alright?”

As Grace got up, Aurora quickly followed. “Mom, you really don’t have to. It’s too much trouble.”

“Why don’t you sit down and rest? Just have the cook whip up a couple of d

    Hearing that, Grace froze for a moment, not quite sure what he meant.“So now you’re getting arrogant?”She was nearly laughing from anger. Her son-in-law had really grown bold, sometimes even saying things she couldn’t make sense of.“You’re the one who took my daughter away, and now she still hasn’t woken up. Don’t you think you should be held accountable?”Her voice rose with frustration, words coming at Lucas in a relentless barrage. “What happened to the promises you made to me? Didn’t you say you’d take care of Aurora? And what now?”“Even when she was still back home, didn’t you stay away the entire time?”Lucas didn’t bother sparing her feelings anymore and threw the words right back at her.So, what if she was Aurora’s mother?That didn’t change the fact that during Aurora’s entire hospitalization, Grace never visited her once.That was a truth no one could deny.Hearing Lucas’ direct confrontation, Grace suddenly didn’t know how to respond.And the worst part—he wasn’t wron

    “Lucas, why aren’t you answering my calls?”At those words, Lucas’ expression softened slightly.So, it really was Grace calling.He had thought at first that Tessa was just lying.After all, if she could chase him all the way here, there was probably nothing she wasn’t capable of.And in that, Lucas had no doubt.He’d disliked Tessa’s character from the beginning.Even now, seeing her show up with the phone in hand, he still couldn’t stand her.Her smile always seemed laced with calculation.Still, even with all that, Lucas didn’t completely lower his guard around her.Grace’s voice came through again. “Lucas, I’m talking to you, why haven’t you said anything?”She pressed once more, and only then did Lucas respond.He gave a brief “Yeah,” then took the phone from Tessa and stepped outside.No matter what, Grace was still Aurora’s mother—her biological mother.He had to show her at least this much respect.Otherwise, once Aurora woke up, others would accuse him of being disrespectful

    He looked a little less cold and defiant, and a little more gentle and obedient.Everyone had noticed it.His phone lay quietly at the side.Whenever Lucas was resting, his phone was always on silent—it was impossible to hear any notifications.Ever since he started staying in this hospital room, he tried to make no noise when entering.He didn’t want to disturb Aurora.Even though she’d been unconscious all this time, Lucas never treated her like she was a patient.He always regarded her as if she were completely normal.Now, lying beside her bed and watching as she received glucose infusions to keep her vital signs stable, how could he not feel miserable?But right now, the only thing he could do was stay by her side.He honestly hadn’t figured out what else he could do.He noticed the room was getting a bit dim, so he opened the curtains and cracked the window for some fresh air.What he didn’t realize was that this simple act gave Julian much more freedom of movement.Lucas hadn’t

    Something was definitely wrong now.Grace grew increasingly uneasy.After all, Lucas had still been answering calls before.But now, it had been so long and he simply wouldn’t pick up.As the repeated dial tones echoed in her ears, the light in her eyes dimmed with each passing second.What on earth was going on.That man better not have done anything to her daughter.If he had, she would fight him to the end, even if it cost her life.Her daughter was not someone any man could bully.With that thought, her tone hardened.This time, she was determine that she would never allow another man to hurt Aurora.No matter what the situation was, she would take her daughter back.With this in mind, Grace called Tessa.Tessa already had a hunch when she saw the call come in.She was pleased, yet somewhat conflicted.Grace said, “He’s not answering. Looks like you’ll have to go check on her.“Tessa, I’m sorry to trouble you… after all, she is my daughter,”For some reason, Grace even felt a littl

    He could already tell Tessa wasn’t happy about it.But no matter how upset she was, there was no way he was putting his life on the line for this.Life was precious—one slip and it was over.He wasn’t stupid. Why risk his future over something like this?In the end, though clearly displeased, Tessa came up with a new plan.She’d lure Lucas away, giving Julian a window to act.Once it was done, he’d leave immediately.A change of clothes had already been stashed in the basement.Everything was set up perfectly with no mistakes allowed.Even Julian had to admit, this version felt a lot more manageable.It gave him some cover.At first, when he saw her message, he thought maybe he could back out altogether.But after reading the contents, he was more confused than ever.Indecision defined him.He had no idea what direction his life was supposed to take.He took everything one step at a time, adjusting with each turn as it came.Even the idea of marrying Tessa, something his parents had ar

    Now, getting Lucas out of the way was no longer a problem.As long as Julian could get in and administer the injection, everything would fall into place.Just thinking about it made Tessa’s tone brighten with excitement.She immediately laid out her plan to Grace.“First, call Lucas and see if he answers. If he doesn’t, call me right after.”“You’re going to find him?”Tessa nodded. “Exactly. When you get through to me, I’ll hand the phone over to him.”Grace thought about it for a moment. The plan did make sense.Besides, she had quite a few things she wanted to ask Lucas herself.He had taken her daughter away—what exactly was he trying to do?And if he dared deceive her child, then no matter the cost, she wouldn’t let him off easily.Once everything was aligned between them, Tessa was ready to hang up.“Alright then, Mom, remember to call him. I’ll head over to the hospital and wait. If anything seems off, call me, and I’ll pass the phone to Lucas.”She smiled. “You probably have a
