Besides, in all these years, he really had never seen a woman this remarkable.
She was truly resilient and with incredible determination.
Her recovery had been the fastest he’d ever witnessed.
The doctor rubbed his nose, unsure what else to say.
In the end, he awkwardly added, “There’s no need to worry about Miss Walton’s condition–nothing in particular needs your special attention.
“Of course, she still shouldn’t overexert herself. Rest is most important, and her body needs time to heal properly.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, finding his words reasonable.
Then, all their glances subtly shifted toward Aurora, each one laced with a silent warning.
It was obvious what they were thinking.
They hoped she’d be a bit more obedient going forward and stop pushing herself so hard.
But the truth was, when Aurora really made up her mind, none of them could talk her out of it.
One glance was all it took for Aurora to understand exactly what they meant.
In the end, she tucked her chin in and said nothing.
She knew it herself and simply gave a sheepish smile. “Alright, alright, I’ll do whatever you all say from now on.”
Lucas saw the guilty look on her face and decided not to call her out for wanting to return to Ravenshore earlier.
At least not in front of Megan–he’d let her off the hook, especially since Aurora had been pretty well–behaved lately.
Megan had already packed everything with visible excitement.
“So, Aurora, when are we heading back?”
She had long grown tired of the food abroad.
Everything still tasted better back home.
If it weren’t for Aurora being here, she wouldn’t have lasted a single day.
Everything she ate here felt like grazing–nothing ever felt satisfying.
Lucas turned to Aurora as well. He was ready to go whenever she was.
Aurora gave a small nod. “I’m feeling fine now, so let’s head back as soon as we can.
“Staying here just makes me feel off–maybe because I’m not standing on the land I love.”
Her teasing tone and sudden bit of humor caught them all off guard and had everyone laughing.
Seeing her in such a different state from before, they finally felt at ease.
It really did seem like Aurora was fully recovered.
Her whole demeanor had shifted completely.
The foreign doctor stayed a little longer at the hospital, ran a few more tests, and confirmed there were no issues before taking his leave.

Before walking out, he couldn’t help thinking how strange these people from Ravenshore were.
One moment they were upset, the next they were joking.
The way their expressions changed–it was almost too fast to follow.
Why hadn’t he noticed that before?
Still, though he had plenty of thoughts, none of it showed on his face.
He knew exactly who was paying him, and he had a job to do.
Knowing what to say and how to act–he understood the assignment well.
Otherwise, there’d be no future for him in this field.
Everyone in the profession knew that rule.
Once the doctor left, Leonard spoke up. “My team cracked the phone.”
The moment he said it, it was like a thunderclap out of nowhere.
Everyone’s eyes snapped to him at once.
Even Lucas gave him a rare, direct look.
Megan rushed to Leonard’s side, visibly excited. “Are you serious?
