Chapter 704
She looked up and saw that the road ahead still stretched endlessly, as if there was no end in sight.
Aurora filtered her thoughts for a moment–could it be that all these images in the tunnel were truly everything she had experienced so far?
And all in such vivid detail?
That thought brought back memories of the incident during high school.
Did that mean she was about to uncover the truth now?
Aurora lowered her gaze, thinking of Joseph.
It was Joseph who had saved her during that accident in high school.
That was why she had fallen for him so completely.
And because of that, she had left home, even making a bet with her mother.
All because she wanted to repay him and at that time, she was just a girl filled with youthful longing.
The accident had terrified everyone.
Aurora had only been a child then, and to be rescued in such a moment, coupled with Joseph’s gentle companionship, she truly saw him as her light and entire world.
When she was little, Grace hadn’t treated her well.
But now, here was someone who gave her undivided care and stayed by her side.
How could Aurora not fall for him?
But later on…
The thought made Aurora feel a little uneasy.
She didn’t know why, but even though she had been certain Joseph was the one, her feelings began to fade.
She couldn’t find that same protector figure in him anymore.
Many times, Aurora even wondered if she had mistaken someone else for him.
But all signs pointed to Joseph being that person.
In the end, Aurora was left speechless and uncertain.
In those three years she spent with Joseph, Aurora went from a wealthy heiress to someone who handled. everything herself like a housekeeper.
But even then, he showed no sign of softening.
It was as if he was saying, “So what if you stayed? No one asked you to. You did it all willingly, didn’t you?”
Just thinking about that made Aurora feel even more disgusted.
And yet, the moment she thought that the one who saved her might really be Joseph, she felt both uneasy and strangely hopeful
She hoped for a miracle, wished that the man who rescued her had nothing to do with Joseph.
But in reality… the truth was, Joseph was undeniably connected to that incident.
Thinking about it, Aurora genuinely found it baffling.
In those three years she spent with Joseph, she never once saw any trace of familiarity in him.
She didn’t even know how to describe it–there was simply no sense of recognition.
Aurora took a deep breath, deciding to just let things run their course.
Even if the person she saw later really turned out to be Joseph, the one who saved her, she knew now she would feel nothing.
It had been nothing more than a teenage impulse back then
She had grown so much since, and when it came to Joseph, she truly felt nothing anymore.
She had already sent him to prison twice.
And honestly, someone like him, even his parents would never approve of him.
That family? Better leave them for someone else to deal with.
She had no strength left to handle them.
A crazy mother, a pretentious father, and a son who was halfway a mama’s boy.
