Chapter 809
It was still better this way.
Just sitting there, she looked as beautiful as a painting.
The kind of beauty that could only be admired from a distance, never to be touched.
It felt as though even looking too long was a form of disrespect.
Even now, knowing Aurora had woken up, Leonard still found it hard to believe.
None of it felt real–this whole past month had felt like a dream.
From seeing her lying lifeless in that hospital bed to now watching her sit up, fully awake, hugging Megan felt surreal.
Even Leonard himself hadn’t expected this.
So, he couldn’t take his eyes off her, just stared at her
Lucas noticed and felt a flicker of displeasure.
Without a word, he stepped in front of Aurora, blocking
blinking.
Ward’s line of sight completely.
The moment it happened, Leonard felt disgusted.
His gaze slowly shifted toward Lucas.
How had he not realized before just how petty this
man
was?
Clearly, his own skin was too thin.
He’d never met someone this shameless, especially someone like Lucas–it really was something.
In the end, Leonard decided to keep quiet for Aurora’s sake.
She had just woken up, and he didn’t want to ruin such a joyful moment.
No need to bring everyone down.
That would’ve soured the mood.
And none of them were stupid.
Hearing what Aurora said, Megan only felt her
drt ache even more.
Aurora was the one who had been physically
She was clearly exhausted, and yet she still had
I to turn around and comfort others.
She was always like this, putting everyone else’s feelings before her own.
But what about her?
That thought made Megan’s heart ache even more.
“If you say things like that, I’m going to be mad at you.”
Her voice trembled slightly.
“What do you have to apologize for? If anything, I should be mad ended up in a coma for a month. It’s all my fault…”
By the end, Megan was on the verge of breaking down.
myself. I didn’t take good care of you—that’s why you
She clung to Aurora, crying uncontrollably.
It was a heartbreaking sight.
Leonard had never seen this side of Megan before.
In his mind, she had always been bright and cheerful, full of sunshine.
She’d never cried like this.
Seeing her now, he was truly surprised.
As for Lucas, he looked completely unfazed as if he were used to this already.
He had known his cousin her whole life and was well aware of how she was.
If nothing else, she always had a surplus of tears.
Aurora, having known Megan for years, understood her all too well
Seeing her cry like this, she knew Megan was just emotionally sensitive, but still, she couldn’t bear to let her cry like that.
Feeling a bit flustered, she gently wiped Megan’s tears. “Alright, alright, Megan, don’t cry.
“How could this be your fault? Someone hurt me–those people are everywhere, impossible to guard against.
“Forget you, even I didn’t notice anything. It’s all their fault, not yours.”
Megan had still been crying hard, but the moment she heard “those people,” she suddenly perked up.
“What? Who was it? Who dared to do that to you?”
At that, even Leonard straightened up, ready to listen.
