Chapter 391

Author: Love Berries
Now that Aurora needed his help, Leonard knew he couldn’t shrink back.

He had to step forward and face everything head-on.

If he chose to hide in the background now, he’d lose respect for himself.

The four of them crowded around the phone, all eyes fixed on the screen—would Jason answer?

And thankfully, he didn’t let them down.

When he saw who was calling, he hesitated at first, but it didn’t take long for him to realize that Aurora was likely on the other end.

And he answered.

After all, this was her mother. She had every right to know what was going on.

Aurora’s eyes lit up with hope as the line connected.

Her hunch had been right. Despite the mess, trust still existed between colleagues.

She glanced at her assistant and gave a subtle signal to speak.

Ian cleared his throat and spoke softly into the phone. “Mr. Jason, I… I called you because there’s something I need to ask.”

“Mhm. I figured.”

Jason let out a quiet sigh. Even now, this kid still couldn’t keep his nerves in check.

    "The person he angered is a powerful figure. He’ll make sure you’re protected."Hearing that, the officers finally relaxed.They’d been worried this might get complicated, but now it seemed they were overthinking it.There really wasn’t much to worry about after all.And with someone influential backing them, they didn’t have to tiptoe around anything.With that in mind, the officers walked straight over to Julian with a pair of handcuffs."Sir, please cooperate with our investigation."Julian’s eyes widened in disbelief.He hadn’t expected them to actually go through with it."Do you even know who I am?"He stared at them in shock, unable to believe they were really doing this.Even Tessa was a little caught off guard.Lucas hadn’t even arrived yet—how could they be so bold?Was it because of that doctor?Did Jason really have that much authority?Tessa pressed her lips together, a flicker of uncertainty surfacing in her heart.But no matter what Julian said, the officers remained fir

    But Jason’s professional instincts made him feel deeply unsettled just looking at Tessa.And he wasn’t the only one, even the officer standing beside him felt a similar discomfort at her smile.It was as if she were wearing a mask."But..."Jason added calmly, "You might want to prepare yourself. That man who came with you will definitely be facing jail time."With that, Jason turned to leave.Tessa staggered back two steps, a look of disbelief spreading across her face."What? How could this happen?"Julian watched her reaction and felt nothing but disgust.She knew everything, yet here she was, acting innocent.She was so fake.Everything he was suffering now was because of her.And yet she was standing there, playing the part of the heartbroken companion better than anyone.Who would still believe her at this point?Julian let out a cold snort. "You’re quite the actress. Aren’t you afraid a ghost might come knocking on your door at night?"Tessa heard the remark but couldn’t care le

    He hoped that, for once, Tessa would use her head and stop being so reckless.At a time like this, blurting things out would be nothing short of brainless.But Tessa merely shot Julian a dismissive glance, her tone full of disdain. "We’re just discussing facts here."Don’t think that just because the patient happens to be my sister, you can use that to cozy up to me. I’m standing with reason, not family."She looked every bit the picture of moral righteousness, calm and composed.Even Jason was caught off guard by her performance.He wasn’t quite sure what to make of the situation anymore.Tessa turned to him and pressed, "Doctor, what are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to look at the results?"And let me warn you, my sister just woke up. Don’t take advantage of her just because she’s nice."She put on the act of a concerned, protective sister.But this display left Julian completely confused.A sinking feeling started to grow in his gut, heavier by the second."Tessa, what the hell

    At this point, the outcome was already obvious. No matter what Julian said later, it wouldn’t change a thing.Everyone was just waiting here for the test results to come back.Now, Jason was even more eager than Julian himself.It was like forcing silence on someone’s lips while their thoughts ran wild—no action could truly restrain what stirred in the mind.There was simply no other way around it.As time dragged on, both men grew more anxious.Even Julian started to lose that edge of panic, replaced by growing impatience.He began silently praying, hoping the people here were complete fools who couldn’t figure out what the substance was.He repeated that wish over and over in his head until he finally started to feel calmer.But just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a voice from inside say, “The results are ready.”Both Julian and Jason turned to look at the same time.Only, they were looking for very different reasons.One with fear and dread.The other with an

    Not to mention, Lucas was the one who had him restrained.Besides, Jason couldn’t stand the way Julian carried himself.Tying him up was simply the safer option.It was for everyone’s good.Julian, seeing that his attempt to stir trouble had failed and the sample had already been sent for analysis, grew increasingly uneasy.And more than anything, he was overseas now.If anything came to light, it would still be handled according to local laws.But something about these so-called officers didn’t sit right with him.There was something off about their demeanor.Their presence didn’t match the usual look of the foreign military personnel.Instead, they carried the distinct aura of well-trained soldiers from his country—fierce and disciplined in a way that couldn’t be faked.Realizing this, a chill crept down Julian’s spine.Something was definitely wrong.It seemed his father had been right—he should’ve stayed far away from Aurora.But now it was too late.After going through all this, J

    Especially those days without Aurora...Lucas never wanted to go through that again. Life without her had been nothing short of a nightmare.Everything felt dull and lifeless.Every time he opened or closed his eyes, he was alone.To him, life without her had lost all meaning.Each day felt painfully monotonous, colorless, and empty.He was truly done with living like that.Now that Aurora was finally back, there was no way he’d let go so easily.Aurora was stunned when she heard what Lucas said.So, it was all for the sake of her health—she’d clearly overthought it.It was her fault."Alright, I get it now. You're right. The doctor should check me first."She nodded helplessly.Lucas smiled warmly, full of affection. Their relationship had clearly reached a whole new level."Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared everything you’ll need to eat. It’s all been arranged."Hearing that, Aurora looked up at Lucas’ sharp profile, feeling completely at ease.Sure enough, by his side, she didn’t
