ログイン“And then the baby will be affected too. Could you really bear to see that happen?”The moment Lucas heard that, he immediately placed a hand over Aurora’s stomach and shook his head without hesitation.“How could I ever bear to see either you or the baby get hurt? Of course I don’t want anything like that to happen.”“You and our child… there’s no way I could choose between the two of you. You’re the most important people in my life. “And this is our baby, so of course I’m full of hopes and expectations for them too. That’s why hearing you say things like that hurts me.”There was obvious sadness on Lucas’ face. He had never expected Aurora to say something like that, nor had he ever imagined that one day there would be secrets between them.In his mind, he and Aurora were supposed to be the kind of couple who could tell each other anything.But now, both of them had already begun hiding things from each other.And suddenly, Lucas realized that maybe this way of thinking really had b
“If that’s the case, then I really was in the wrong. Honestly, you should’ve called me out on it sooner.”Aurora immediately felt relieved. At least now, Lucas finally understood what she had been trying to say.And as long as they could still communicate like this, there was always room to work things out between them.Some things simply could not stay buried forever. The healthiest thing was for both of them to know the truth.“It’s okay. I’m telling you now, aren’t I?” Aurora said softly. “The important thing is that both of us should know what’s happening so we can figure out together what the best way forward is, instead of bottling everything up inside.”Aurora stepped forward and gently took Lucas’s hand.“I know you’re trying to protect me, but there are some things I want to face and carry myself too. I don’t want all of this pressure falling entirely on you just because you’re trying to shield me from it. We’re husband and wife.“A marriage means we face things together. If
“Do you really want to know?”Lucas’ expression turned unusually serious. Even now, he still was not sure whether telling her the truth was the right thing to do, nor did he know how much it might affect her.Because in this world, some things could not simply be said without thought.Words carried weight, and once spoken, they could not be taken back.That was why Lucas hesitated so much. He did not know how deeply the truth might hurt Aurora.Nor did he know how much attachment Aurora still had toward Grace.Those were all things he had been considering this entire time, which was why he kept wavering over whether he should tell her the truth.But now, Aurora’s words had struck him hard.“When you put it that way… maybe you’re right,” Lucas murmured quietly. “Maybe I really have been overthinking things. Maybe I’ve been worrying too much.”Aurora realized he was finally beginning to relent, so she pressed on.“Exactly. You always treat me like I’m fragile. You keep saying you’re worr
Besides, the things his own mother had done were far from honorable. If he told Aurora the truth, it would only leave her upset and emotionally drained.In the end, Lucas decided to keep it hidden.But the more he acted this way, the more suspicious Aurora became.At first, she had not thought much of it, but now, seeing Lucas hesitate repeatedly, avoiding the truth and refusing to meet her eyes, only made her curiosity grow stronger.“What exactly is going on?”Aurora’s voice rose unconsciously.“Lucas, we literally just said we shouldn’t keep secrets from each other. Don’t you think the way you’re refusing to tell me the truth right now is a little too much?”After all, they had only just talked about honesty. How could he turn around and hide things from her immediately afterward?How could Aurora possibly not be upset about that?Lucas suddenly found himself at a loss for words.He truly had not meant to hide things from Aurora. He simply believed that keeping this from her was for
And if Daniel remained unconscious for too long, it would not be good for his condition either.Aurora had never been a cold-hearted person. Besides, they had worked together before, and the partnership between them had always been pleasant.There was no way Aurora could stand by and watch someone slowly lose their life right in front of her.If things really came to that, it would be far too unfair to Daniel.After all, he had done nothing wrong. Was he really supposed to spend the rest of his life lying in a hospital bed?Most importantly, the person behind everything still had not been found, meaning Daniel still had not been given any justice.Just thinking about it made Aurora feel sorry for him.That was exactly why she was so desperate to find out who the real culprit was.“This kind of thing can’t be rushed,” Lucas comforted softly. “But on Daniel’s side, I’ll arrange for the best specialists to examine him and figure out exactly what’s going on.”Then he added softly, “Right n
Aurora nodded to show that she understood.“Lucas, I understand what you mean. From now on, no matter what I do, I’ll ask for your opinion first. And I hope you won’t keep things from me either.”Lucas nodded seriously at her words.“I’ve already sent my assistant to gather evidence, but this kind of thing won’t be resolved overnight. I know you’re anxious, and honestly, I’m just as anxious as you are.”Lucas spoke in a steady voice. “But some things aren’t guaranteed just because we want results. All we can do is everything within our power and leave the rest to fate. Still, I’ll do everything I can.”As he said that, he rested his hands on Aurora’s shoulders, his gaze filled with warmth.“The reason I’m willing to put so much effort into this… is because it’s you. I want to help you resolve all of this as quickly as possible. “I don’t want things dragged out any longer, and I refuse to give Edwin another chance to hurt you.“It’s because it’s you that I’m willing to do all this. I o
Grace quickly turned to Arnold. “Arnold, go grab those strawberries from the kitchen for Megan.”“Of course.”With a nod, Arnold headed off to rinse the fruit.Megan sat down beside Grace, her expression full of concern. “Madam Grace, how’s Aurora doing now?”“I visited her once at the hospital, but
She pressed the phone screen gently against her cheek, her voice trembling as she spoke, word by word. “Aurora, do you know… it was the first time I’d ever seen that little cat.“I only met it at the mouth of the alley. I fed it a treat, sat with it for a little while—that’s all.“It was so sweet, s
Anyway, the road ahead was still long.Even if she had to relive it all slowly in this dream, it only meant she’d be staying here for a while.At most, she’d just be wasting a bit of time here.With that thought, Aurora began to calmly accept whatever came next.She didn’t think there was anything s
Nicholas Lee pinched the bridge of his nose, already growing impatient. “That’s not your concern. I’ll handle the rest. All you need to do is make sure those thugs don’t give up the person behind it.“Even if they do talk, just pretend you didn’t hear it. Don’t report it to the Quinn family. Just in
