Chapter 817
Leonard sat nearby, watching the lively and spirited Megan, a strange ripple stirring in his heart.
This vibrant, animated version of Megan seemed even more captivating than Aurora, who had only just woken up not long ago.
Realizing that made Leonard freeze in place.
Was he really such a fickle man?
He started doubting himself. That kind of feeling felt foreign to hi
It even pushed him into a spiral of self–doubt.
He sat on the couch, his hands slowly clenching into fists on his lap
In a quiet corner where no one noticed, Leonard silently gritted his teeth, torn between conflicting emotions.
Lucas noticed something off about Leonard but only gave him a brief glance.
This guy was weird all the time–he was already used to it.
Otherwise, how could a normal man have feelings for a woman who already had a family?
Even saying it out loud sounded unbelievable.
He found it strange too.
Now watching Leonard looking all conflicted, Lucas felt even more disdain.
Seriously, a grown man, always agonizing over something.
These were all simple matters, yet with him, everything somehow turned complicated.
Thinking about it, Lucas couldn’t help feeling speechless.
Meanwhile, Aurora and Megan had already reached a decision.
They agreed to call Grace.
Hearing that, Lucas also remembered that back when Aurora hadn’t woken up yet, he had actually been on a call with Grace.
Now that the call had suddenly been cut off, and with both Tessa and Julian sent to prison, Grace was probably panicking at home.
Thinking of that, Lucas awkwardly rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty.
And sure enough, things were exactly as Lucas had imagined.
After the call ended, Grace stood frozen in place, holding her phone and calling out for a long while.
“Hello? Where did you go?”
Staring at the disconnected call, a wave of helplessness rose in her chest.
Before the line was cut, she had heard intense commotion on the other end, but she had no idea what was going on.
And vaguely, she thought she had heard Aurora’s voice…?
That thought made Grace uncertain.
Could it really be that Aurora had woken up?
After all this time, was overseas medical treatment really that much better than here?

But it had only been a short while–Grace wasn’t sure if she had heard correctly.
Or rather, was that really Aurora’s voice?
She started second–guessing herself again.
Arnold saw Grace looking dazed and couldn’t help stepping forward to ask, “Ma’am, are you alright?”
Just moments ago, Grace had suddenly shouted, scaring all the staff in the villa.
Although Grace usually didn’t smile much and looked rather strict she had always treated the staff kindly.
That had never changed–everyone could vouch for that.
So even after all these years, they were still willing to stay and work for the Walton family.
Only after everything that happened did they start realizing something felt off.
It was as if this family had a streak of instability.
Like Tessa, who used to smash things, and now Grace, shouting out of nowhere.
They were beginning to wonder if their decision to stay had been the right one after all.
But Grace didn’t seem to notice any of this at all.
