Indeed, Aurora acknowledges Regina's courage is truly immense. Without any fear or hesitation whatsoever, the woman openly invites Aurora to compete.
At first, Aurora wanted to ignore the nonsense the woman was spouting. However, upon seeing Regina's determination and effort, Aurora reconsiders. Because of past mistakes that led to losing Alden, she won't allow it to happen again.
"What are you watching again?"
Asher asked. He was surprised to find his sister, who had just arrived at the hospital, not rushing to the room, but rather busy observing people coming and going in the ER.
"There," Aurora pointed boldly. "Watching my competitor."
Asher immediately turned to follow where Aurora's finger was pointing. Squinting, focusing his gaze on one person who was busy mingling and eating cake with the other medical team members.
"Doctor Regina?"
Aurora nodded.
"Yeah. I'm indeed observing her movements."Asher's brow furrowed. H
Aurora was completely surprised when she found Zendaya suddenly visiting that evening. After all, it was the first time the woman had set foot in Aurora's residence.In the past, although close and familiar with Zendaya, it was always Aurora who visited or picked her up first. Despite often accompanying her home, Zendaya never once stopped by herself.And now, finding the middle-aged woman bothering to come over herself for a visit, Aurora believed there must be something important she wanted to convey directly."Can Auntie come in? There's something Auntie wants to discuss with you."This sentence further unsettled Aurora's feelings. The negative thoughts that had previously vanished now came rushing back."S-sure, Auntie. Please come in."Aurora led Zendaya into her home. She was invited to sit down immediately, while Aurora went to the back briefly, asking the household assistant to prepare drinks and some cakes."Don't bother, Aur
Alden seemed to be wandering around. Since earlier, he had been searching for Aurora's whereabouts, which hadn't been seen at the hospital.Today, because there was a morning surgery schedule, Alden couldn't go to work with Aurora. After finishing his duties, Alden tried to contact her as usual. However, his girlfriend hadn't responded to his text messages or phone calls that he had been sending. This made him worried. He was afraid that something might have happened to her."Dr. Velia, have you seen Dr. Aurora?"Alden went to visit Velia in her office. Because Aurora had mentioned yesterday that she would be leaving with Velia, he believed that she would know where his girlfriend was."Dr. Alden?" Velia quickly rose from her seat. She approached Alden, who was standing at the door of the room. "I haven't seen Dr. Aurora today."Alden's brow furrowed reflexively. He was certainly surprised to hear the confession of the pediatric specialist in front o
"I'm heading to the seminar first. Later this evening, once everything's done, I'll head straight back to the hospital so we can go home together as usual.""Okay. Take care on the road. See you later this evening."Aurora watched Alden leave as he filled in for a health seminar at one of the renowned universities.Although Aurora knew that one of Alden's partners for the day was Regina, she didn't feel worried or jealous at all. No, Aurora remained calm."Today, maybe Alden and I will go to the seminar together. Who knows, maybe tomorrow we'll both leave work together or end up living together. No one knows how destiny will unfold, right?"After the briefing in the meeting room, Regina took the opportunity to give a warning. As if she enjoyed bothering Aurora with all sorts of chatter."Hopefully, God grants your wish, Dr. Regina. Like you said yesterday, if Alden is truly meant for you, you shouldn't be worried, let alone afraid."R
"Doctor, can I have your photo?""Doc, can I take a photo with you?"Alden felt overwhelmed. After finishing the seminar, he was swarmed by medical students who wanted to take photos with him.This had also happened to Asher. However, since the man was invited by the dean for a discussion, it was only Alden who had to deal with the photo session with the group of female students who came to mob him."Thank you very much, Doctor Alden.""Yes, you're welcome," Alden replied politely. Regardless, he couldn't refuse their invitations for photos."Doctor, are you married? Do you have a wife already?"Several students bombarded him with questions. They were still crowding around, waiting for Alden before he left."Yes, Doc. Are you already married or not yet?""Not yet," Alden replied casually."In that case, can I have your WhatsApp number, Doc?"One of the students boldly asked, straight to the point with her intentions. Per
"Hey, how's Aurora? Is she okay?"Finding out that his sister suddenly lost consciousness, Asher panicked as well. After work, along with their mother, Asher decided to immediately follow Aurora, who was already at home.Upon arrival, Asher found Alden already there. He was somewhat relieved because Aurora had received initial treatment from his colleague."She's still weak. I've asked her to rest fully. I've also told the house assistant to prepare warm soup so she can eat and take her medicine later."Asher nodded in understanding. Now it was his turn to take action."Thanks a lot for being prompt to help and bringing Aurora home, Al.""No problem. I'll take my leave now. If there's anything, please let me know as soon as possible."As Alden left, Asher and his mother hurried to Aurora's room. There, he found his sister lying down, looking weak and frail."Are you sure you don't want to be admitted to the hospital? You're wea
It could be said that Aurora's condition today is much better. After receiving treatment and taking medication as prescribed, she can feel that her health has improved and gradually returned to normal as it used to be.Still accompanied by Elenna, Aurora is sitting in front of the wardrobe this afternoon, arranging her clothes into the suitcase. Packing some items she wants to bring for traveling in the near future."Are you sure you want to go alone?"Elenna reassured again. Still anxious about the decision made by the princess.After discussing with both parents and her younger sibling last night, Aurora finally heeded her mother's advice. She decided to take a break. Asking for time to calm herself until all the recent problems are resolved as she hoped."If that's your decision, please go ahead. I, Mom, and Dad will fully support you."After the discussion, Asher expressed his opinion. Knowing that his sister was sick due to too much str
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Alden seemed focused on driving as he had to take his mother to one of the hotels. As far as he remembered, there was a birthday celebration event today that they had to attend.Upon arrival, Alden helped his mother open the car door. But instead of letting him go after that, his mother held him back and invited Alden to come inside."You have to accompany Mom inside."Alden was surprised. This wasn't what they agreed on at home."Why does Alden have to accompany Mom? Usually, Mom also comes by herself to every celebration or gathering. Why does Alden have to come now?"Zendaya seemed indifferent. She didn't let go of her son's arm."The thing is, Aunt Riana is celebrating her birthday today. Mom feels bad if you don't come along. She invited both of us."Alden was even more surprised. Only now did he know that it was his mother Regina's birthday."But, Ma. I already have plans. If I don't hurry, I'll be l
Alden: Honey, can you wait a little longer? Mom is still having a hard time being left alone. I'll leave in five minutes and come to pick you up right away.Alden: Just a moment, Sweetheart. Sorry for being late.Aurora took a slow breath after rereading the short message Alden sent an hour ago. Checking her gold Aigner watch wrapped around her left wrist, the time showed twenty minutes past six.Initially, Aurora intended to remain patient. She even tried to contact Alden, but he didn't pick up several of her calls.Convinced that there was no hope of meeting her lover today, Aurora decided to leave the restaurant immediately. She contacted Asher, who happened to be on standby not far from where she was.Five minutes later, while waiting in the lobby, Aurora spotted Asher arriving with his favorite black Rubicon."Are we really going straight to the airport? Don't you want to wait a bit first?" she asked.While fastening her seatbelt
