Author: Love Berries
Ian scratched his head, puzzled.

Sure, they hadn’t worked with John in a while, but even then, the front desk had always been polite and cordial, at the very least.

So why the sudden change in attitude?

He stepped up to the door, speaking clearly toward the inside.

"Hi, I just want to ask a few questions. I won’t take much of your time or disturb your boss.

"Would you mind opening the door so we can talk face-to-face for a minute?"

He kept his tone sincere, trying to strike a professional balance.

But the moment he mentioned “your boss,” the receptionist’s face visibly shifted again.

"Our boss isn’t here anymore. You’d better just go. I’m leaving in a few days too," she replied curtly, voice sharp.

Her boss wasn’t here anymore? That made no sense.

"Then where is he? Can you at least tell me where he went?"

Without another word, the receptionist shut the inner door as well, clearly done with the conversation.

The message was loud and clear: she didn’t want to talk, and he wasn’t wel

    "Of course I am!"Lucas huffed in frustration. "I’m nothing like Joseph Hunt. I don’t want that kind of feeling from you."He wasn’t clueless.He wasn’t clueless; he had definitely noticed the change in Aurora’s feelings for him before she woke up.The way she looked at him had changed.Her eyes sparkled every time they landed on him, as if he was her entire world.Lucas had never seen that kind of look on her face before.That was why he was so caught off guard this time.And after everything Aurora had just said, it was hard not to wonder if she was only with him out of gratitude.Joseph was the perfect example of how things could go wrong when feelings were born from obligation.That so-called gratitude had ended with him being left behind.Lucas was still spiraling in his own thoughts when, all of a sudden, a pair of hands cupped his face and began to squish his cheeks."Enough already. What I feel for you is nothing like what I feel for Joseph."Lucas’ eyes lit up. "Do you really

    "I looked into it carefully too, and coincidentally, Joseph was indeed among those kids. But you weren’t."Lucas looked at Aurora’s frustrated expression, and his heart ached with her."And then?"Aurora continued, "Later on, while recalling things, I realized you weren’t one of the five children at all. Even the principal had no idea you were there."So, no wonder I couldn’t find anything about you back then. You didn’t exist in any records."Lucas froze.Back then, he had only passed by that school.The auditorium was a place he’d always liked. It was funded by his family, so he didn’t need to check in with anyone when he stayed there.Not even the principal knew.That was why the principal always assumed there were only five students involved—he never even realized Lucas had been there.But by coincidence, the spot where he was resting wasn’t far from where Aurora had been standing.That was how they ended up falling together, with buildings piled between them.Those things had all

    “These past four weeks, I don’t even know how I made it through,” Lucas said quietly. “Every day, I sat there staring at your profile, drowning in a kind of despair I didn’t know was possible.”Aurora didn’t know how to comfort him. Her heart ached just as much.The Lucas she knew had never been like this.He used to keep everything bottled up, never saying a word about what he really felt.But now, he was so open and raw, it left her unsure how to respond.Her voice softened. “Well, I’m awake now, aren’t I?“It felt like I was trapped in this long, endless dream. In it, I relived so many moments from my past.”Then she paused. A flicker of confusion crossed her face.“No… that’s not right. It wasn’t a dream.”Lucas frowned slightly, not quite following. “What do you mean?”Aurora looked straight at him, her gaze clear and certain.“Because I just realized what I said wasn’t right. That wasn’t a dream. Everything I saw really happened.”Lucas leaned in, visibly intrigued. It was the

    "Why are you thanking me out of nowhere?"Aurora frowned slightly. The two of them were already so close—why was he suddenly acting like a stranger?It was as if they hadn’t known each other at all.The thought unsettled her.Lucas, however, just held her tighter, clearly unwilling to let go.Aurora started feeling a little breathless.She gently patted his back and asked softly, "What’s wrong, Lukey?"He didn’t answer, but his grip kept tightening.Just as Aurora was about to speak again, she felt something warm on her neck.In that instant, she froze.She had never seen Lucas like this before.In fact, he felt like a stranger.The Lucas she knew was always strong, never shaken.No matter what he faced, he never panicked.Let alone end up like this.That single tear scorched her skin and burned into her heart.Lucas whispered near her ear, voice low and hoarse, "Rora, I missed you so much. Please... don’t leave me again, alright?"Only now, with her warmth in his arms, did it finally

    "Now that I’m awake, why do you look anything but happy for me, dear sister?"Tessa didn’t even know how to respond."I... I have something to take care of."She thought of Julian and quickly grabbed the excuse. "You saw it yourself—he was taken away by your man, wasn’t he? No matter what he did wrong, he’s still my fiancé."She gave a half-hearted chuckle. "I should go check on him."Aurora cut in, her voice calm but sharp. "So, you’re admitting then, that whatever Julian did has something to do with you too, right?"Tessa froze in place.She met Aurora’s eyes, and the mocking smile on her face made her grind her teeth.This was exactly the kind of person Aurora was, always appearing soft and gentle on the outside.But with that same face, she could grind someone into the dirt so thoroughly they'd never get up again.And it was that prideful air that Tessa hated the most.That was why she’d always wanted to rip off Aurora’s fake mask and stomp it into the ground.Only then would peop

    Tessa rubbed her arms, feeling a strange chill.Aurora didn’t pay her any attention. She looked at the foreign doctor and said, “Doctor, please have this tested.”Before Julian could speak, Aurora cut in, “Also, if anyone has doubts about the results, or suspects us of tampering, they can tag along.“And don’t forget to bring the police along as well.”Aurora didn’t bother hiding her disdain. “Some people are like sewer rats—clingy, hard to shake off, and bound to leave a stench.”Julian’s face darkened.It was obvious she was talking about him. If he still couldn’t tell, he really had no brain.Aurora glanced down at him with a smile, but her eyes remained cold. “So, Mr. Hayes, my dear future brother-in-law, how about joining the doctors to check those results?”Julian flinched at her words.There was something about her smile that made his skin crawl.Given her usual temperament, he had no doubt she’d already planned to deal with him long ago.Now that she was smiling like that, Ju
