Chapter 851
The two of them didn’t know how much time had passed before they finally lay back down, wrapped in each other’s arms as they drifted off to sleep.
The moon hid behind a layer of clouds, leaving only the stars to twinkle stubbornly in the night sky, as if afraid of disturbing the two souls who had finally reunited.
The next morning.
As soon as Aurora opened her eyes, she realized the space beside her was empty.
A savory aroma lingered in the air, it smelled like food, and instantly stirred her appetite.
She propped herself up and saw Megan already sitting in the chair nearby.
The table was filled with dishes.
Some of the food had clearly been eaten, while the rest was obviously left for her.
The sight warmed Aurora’s heart.
She glanced at the clock.
It was just past eight in the morning and couldn’t help but smile.
“Megan, you’re here so early?”
“That’s not like you at all.”
Speaking as she went, Aurora got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Without realizing it, her stomach had already started to growl.
Megan rushed over to support her as she got up, which made Aurora chuckle.
“What are you doing? It’s not like I’ve lost the ability to take care of myself.”
She was both amused and helpless.
Megan was simply too nervous, treating her like she was fragile.
“You’ve been bedridden for a whole month. Your body’s still recovering.”
Megan spoke righteously. “I feel better helping you walk.”
Aurora couldn’t help but resist a little.
Like this, she really did feel like someone who couldn’t take care of herself.
But Megan insisted on her stance.
No matter what Aurora said, she refused to let go and insisted on helping her to the bathroom.
Seeing this, Aurora had no choice but to agree.
She couldn’t win against Megan.
After all these years together, she knew exactly what kind of person she was.
Arguing further would do neither of them any good.
And honestly, there wasn’t much point in it anyway.

“You’re really something, my little housekeeper.”
Aurora spoke with fondness in her tone and even gave Megan’s chubby cheek a playful pinchr
That one small act brought a sense of comfort to her heart.
She had wanted to do that for a while now, but the first day they me again, Megan had cried too hard and she didn’t have the heart to do it.
The second day, though, was just the right time.
Megan gave Aurora a look of mock accusation but, considering her condition, she let it go.
After walking Aurora to the bathroom door, Megan tactfully stepped back.
She reminded Aurora, “When you’re done, remember to call me.
“Don’t you dare think it’s a hassle and try to handle it on your own I’ll be right nearby. Just call me and I’ll come right over.”
Megan repeated her instructions again and again.
Aurora could only nod. “Alright, I got it. Don’t worry.”
Only after getting Aurora’s promise did Megan feel at ease enough to return and continue eating.
Once Megan turned to leave, Aurora finally closed the bathroom door.
At first, she had wanted to ask why Lucas wasn’t in the room.
But then she figured, everyone had their own things to do.
He couldn’t possibly revolve his whole life around her.
That kind of thinking just wasn’t realistic.
Rather than waste energy on that, she might as well focus on what to do next.
