Chapter 169 Missed It
They walked out of the hospital together.
"Don't follow me," Aurora couldn't help but turn around and say to him, "Don't follow me,"
"It's because of me that you got hurt. I have to take responsibility," said Zac directly.
Aurora snorted, "Then send Wenny to prison. She tried to murder me!"
It was clear that Wenny intended to hurt Aurora.
Aurora stared at Zac, who remained silent for a long time. Seeing that, Aurora put on a disdainful look.
That's understandable. After all, Wenny is pregnant with his baby.
Somehow, Aurora felt bitter. She wondered, Zac cares for Wenny because she's pregnant with his baby. But back then, dad and I were so nice to him, yet he didn't... Aurora held back her tears as she quickened her step towards the street.
Aurora stopped a taxi and opened the door, preparing to leave. Yet the next second, Zac closed the car door from behind and said to the driver. "She's not leaving." The driver looked at them and said sternly. "You couple can quarrel, but you shouldn't mess with
my business!"
Aurora tried to get in the car again, but Zac stopped her once more.
"Let go of me," said Aurora. Meanwhile, the driver drove away.
"The doctor said you can't carry heavy things," Zac said slowly.
Aurora frowned as she saw Zac's driver stopping the car beside them.
"Live in the villa. I won't be there for the next few days."
As he spoke, he opened the car door for Aurora. As if he was afraid that Aurora would run away, he held her hand with the other hand and refused to let it go.
"You..."
"Alma misses you as well. She'll make your favorite dishes." Zac tried to lure her into an
agreement.
They were on a one-way street and Zac's car prevented many drivers from moving forward, which aroused much honking.
Aurora had no choice but to get in the car.
But until the door closed, she gave Zac nothing, not even a glance.
Zac stood at the side and watched the car leave. A memory surged into his mind.
Three years ago, when they were discussing their marriage, Aurora would always let Zac leave first, and then she would watch him go away.
At that time, Zac could not figure out what she was thinking about.
However, at the moment, he seemed to understand.
The one who stayed and watched the other leave was the one who cared more about the
relationship
Zac couldn't help but wonder, Aurora, is hatred your only feeling for me right now?
"Ms. Bennet, this is your favorite steak."
"I also made tomato soup for you. And there is a freshly-made apple pie. Let me cut a piece for
you."
Alma was very considerate and made many delicious dishes for Aurora.
Besides, Alma kept putting food on Aurora's plate.
"Alma, thank you. But I really can't eat that much."
"Have some more. Mr. Buchanna said that you have been very busy recently. I guess you don't have
much time for meals," said Alma while cracking a lobster for Aurora, "You look too thin."
Zac said that to Alma?
But his fiancée is why I had to work so hard! That woman has created a lot of trouble for me! Aurora then hid the emotions in her eyes. When she thought that Wenny was plotting against her and probably bribed the whole race team, Aurora was filled with anger. She immediately imagined the food in front of her as Wenny and Zac and ate them all.
"Slow down, have some soup." Alma narrowed her eyes, feeling great.
Aurora ate and drank to her heart's content. In the end, she even burped.
When Alma cleaned the table, Aura received a phone call. It was Terry.
"Aurora, I'm at the training ground. Where are you?"
"I..." Aurora looked at the wound on her wrist, afraid that Terry would worry if he saw it. Plus, although she was a witness, she had no evidence to prove that Wenny was behind today's incident. "I'll come for you."
Aurora answered in a hurry, "Don't. I have something urgent to deal with. I won't be there
tomorrow, either. Let's meet the day after tomorrow." Aurora pretended to be relaxed.
However, Terry sensed that something was wrong.
"Aurora, I was late. Don't be mad at me."
"I am not. But I have to go now." Aurora then hung up the phone.
Aurora was afraid that Terry would act impulsively after her telling him that she was at Zac's house. That was why she kept that a secret from Terry. Solving the race team problem was the most important thing now.
Feeling bored, Aurora turned on the TV. Then she saw a piece of today's news.
"According to an anonymous tip, Cosmos Corporation is still in debt. Its head, Aurora..."
Aurora stared at the TV screen blankly like a puppet.
When Zac walked in, he saw tears rolling down Aurora's eyes. She was crying silently. "What's going on?"
Just as Zac walked over, Aurora raised her head.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred towards him.
"Stay away from me," said Aurora in her hoarse voice. Then she turned and went upstairs.
Zac felt hurt seeing Aurora like that. He realized that she knew it from the TV.
"Just now, Ms. Bennet cried when she saw the news. She is very sad," Alma said.
Zac did not say anything.
"Sir, if you really care about Ms. Bennet, don't let her be alone. She can't bear everything by herself."
Alma had witnessed how much Zac had paid for his revenge.
The revenge practically cost him all his life.
Although Zac was successful now, Alma could feel that he wasn't happy. Even if he was engaged to
Wenny, he still felt lonely.
Only when he was with Aurora could Zac become a man of blood and flesh.
The same was true for Aurora.
"Let bygones be bygones. Don't let the past affect your future."
After that, Alma went back to the kitchen.
Zac gripped the railing of the stairs and thought for a long time, but he still did not have the courage to meet Aurora.
He admitted that Alma was right, but currently, he was not qualified enough.
Aurora was alone in the room, crying for a long time until her tears were dry. Looking up again, she saw the moon hanging in the sky.
For a moment, she felt it had been so long.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
Aurora held the quilt tightly and sobbed. She fell asleep at some point.
When she woke up again, she found that she was still in Zac's villa, clutching the corner of the quilt.
She could never go back to the old days.
She wondered, Zac cut my life into pieces, and now he tried to piece them together. So hilarious!
Aurora looked at herself in the dressing mirror and slowly put on a strange and cold smile, "Zac, it's too late."
She was not heartless. She knew Zac cared about her during this period.
י
However, that meant nothing to her.
Zac destroyed the entire Bennet family but didn't feel apologetic at all.
Aurora took a deep breath, got up, and walked out.
"Alma, where is he?"
"Mr. Buchanna didn't stay last night. It seems that he had something urgent to deal with. He seemed to be in a hurry."
He was in a hurry?
That's right. He should be.
Aurora put on a coat and left the villa.
Few people knew how the Bennet family broke up, and even fewer would blow the whistle anonymously.
Half an hour later, Aurora stood outside the villa of the Swon family.
Without hesitation, Aurora rang the doorbell.
"Who's there?" Faye came out from inside. When she saw Aurora, she trembled. She hurried to the door and blocked Aurora from entering. "Why are you here?" asked Faye. "I'm not here for you. Get out of my way."
