"Boss! Boss!" Kieran shouted, rushing to Heath's side.Hearing the commotion, Aurora ran out of her room. Seeing Heath on the floor with a bloodied shoulder, she hurried to help Kieran carry him to his room.After Kieran left to call Lysander, Aurora skillfully disinfected and bandaged Heath's wound.When Kieran returned, he found Aurora almost done with the cleanup.“Miss Aurora...” Kieran began, curious about her emergency medical skills."Where's Lysander? How soon can he get here? I only managed to stop the bleeding, but Heath's wound looks infected, and he's feverish. Didn't you notice?" Aurora asked, packing up the medical kit."A fever? He seemed okay when he woke up this afternoon..." Kieran said, puzzled."With such a serious injury, a fever is normal. Why wasn't someone with him?" Aurora asked, her voice filled with concern and reproach, as Heath lay still, his brow furrowed in pain."Miss Aurora, when the boss woke up, he sent us all to find you and insisted on being alone.
On the coffee table lay Aurora’s blood-stained high heels, making Eamon recall her masked, slightly smiling face - so alluring and familiar. Yet, he racked his brain without success, unable to pinpoint where he had seen this scene before.Lysander entered Heath’s room, watching Aurora as she wiped his face with a towel, checked his wound, and then sat in a chair beside the bed, staring blankly at Heath.Lysander, with a sense of resignation, shook his head and called out, “Aurora.”Aurora turned around, “Lysander, what is it?”Lysander approached and adjusted the IV drip, remarking, “You shouldn’t know how to treat wounds, you know?”Aurora nodded in agreement, “I know.”“And racing, fighting, you shouldn’t know those either,” Lysander added.“I know,” Aurora replied, somewhat irritably. She wasn’t as cautious as she once was as Olivia, revealing too many flaws.“Your behavior does raise questions. Don’t blame Eamon. To us, Heath is like a brother. He just wants to ensure Heath’s safe
As Heath emerged from his room, clad in a bathrobe, Aurora was nowhere in sight. Recalling the blush that had painted her face just moments ago, he couldn't help but smile.The door opened once again, and Aurora entered, carrying a tray of food. She set it on the table, her head bowed, then swiftly closed the door with a bang and dashed away.Heath: "..."On the tray was a bowl of porridge accompanied by several small dishes. It must have been Lysander's doing, advising a light diet, which led to these hotel-prepared meals.Struggling with just one hand, Heath reached for a spoon and began to eat on the bed. As he did so, the door burst open again.Aurora strode in, sat beside him on the bed, and took up the porridge. She stirred it carefully, then blew on it gently before bringing it to his lips.Heath chuckled, "You're feeding me?"Aurora glared at him, "Eat it or don't!"He nodded, "I'll eat."She fed him spoonful by spoonful. Heath obediently sat, watching her with a smile in his
Aurora paused in front of a shop, captivated by a mannequin dressed in a black shirt with a subtle pattern and exquisite cufflinks. She entered, asked the saleswoman for one, and held it up against Heath before taking it to the cashier to pay.Heath, noticing Aurora purchasing another men's shirt, frowned and was about to pay when Aurora handed over her credit card instead, saying, "Let me."After paying, Aurora stuffed the bag into Heath's arms: "It's for you."Heath was momentarily taken aback, admiring her prideful retreat, his heart feeling sweetly wrapped.He hastened to catch up with Aurora: "Why are you giving me clothes?"Aurora glanced at him indifferently: "If you don't want it, return it!"Heath hid the shirt behind him: "I want it."Aurora pouted slightly: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."Heath nodded, following her to a restaurant.Aurora chose a Southeast-Asian restaurant, intentionally ordering some light dishes for Heath.After eating, as it started to rain, Aurora called K
Aurora was startled. Could the popular actor they were talking about be Zane?She opened the news and read a report about a popular actor sneaking into a female star's room during the dinner of a film and TV awards ceremony, only to be kicked out later. A blurry video was attached to the article.Two days later, more news broke about a male star with the surname Strider. The reports depicted him as leading a chaotic private life with peculiar tastes, often harassing female stars under the guise of filming. A censored photo was released, showing a man in a baseball cap who resembled Zane. He was sitting in a bar, smoking and draping his arm around a lesser-known actress.Media sought confirmation from Skyline Media about whether the Strider in the news was Zane, but the company did not respond.It was not until yesterday that a clear hotel video was leaked. Zane was seen entering a room in his dinner suit and was quickly chased out.The media then confirmed that the woman staying in th
Aurora returned to the Villa just in time to see Maxwell's car parked at the entrance. Sophia stepped out of the car, and the three of them met at the villa's doorstep.Aurora, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and shorts, looked no different from a college girl. Sophia, on the other hand, wore a high-end designer dress and high heels, her face hidden behind sunglasses, exuding a celebrity-like aura.Before Aurora could speak, Sophia called out to her, "I heard you haven't been home for several days. Where have you been gallivanting?"Maxwell frowned, unaware that Aurora had been away for so many days.Aurora turned to her and replied, "Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"Sophia removed her sunglasses, revealing her exquisite eye makeup, and said disdainfully, "I'm just concerned about you. Don't go getting yourself pregnant out of wedlock."Aurora was taken aback. Pregnant? Did Sophia know about the incident with Silas?"Sophia, did you orchestrate the incident wit
In this family, there was never a day of peace.Ever since Maxwell could remember, Madeline constantly talked about moving into the Pendleton family mansion, telling him he was a descendant of the Pendletons and destined to return to his roots.At that time, Madeline and Sebastian were only secretly dating, careful not to be discovered by others.After Evelyn was born, Madeline became bolder. Every time Sebastian visited their house, she would nag him about when he would let her and their children move back to give them a legitimate status.Later, she even brazenly dated Sebastian, taking Evelyn to the Pendleton mansion to cause trouble. She told them the woman living there was evil, having stolen their father, and taught them to insult and attack her.That woman was Aurora's mother, her name was Callista or something.Evelyn, not knowing better, would always yell at Callista and even throw things at her. But Maxwell always felt that she didn’t seem like a bad person.Not long after A
Aurora saved the video and exited the study, inquiring, "How did you obtain this video? Isn't that hotel under the Song family's ownership? How could they possibly release it to you?""Now it's not," Heath stood, moving to pour some water."What do you imply?" Aurora expressed her confusion.Kieran stepped in at the opportune moment, clarifying, "This morning, our boss finalized the acquisition of the hotel under the banner of Fairbank's."Aurora was rendered speechless.The magnitude of acquiring such a prestigious hotel seemed understated."Ethan was amenable to selling it to you? It is, after all, his inheritance," Aurora struggled to grasp the reality."I had dealings with his father; he doesn't have the prerogative to interfere," Heath declared."The hotel industry has been languishing in recent years, and their hotel's performance has progressively worsened. For Mr. Song, our boss's offer to purchase at a premium provided an escape from this burdensome asset," Kieran expounded.
