Tears rolled down one by one. They were tears of joy. Aurora had been with Julian for so long, and yet they had never had a child.


    She had often wondered if there was something wrong with her body or if the stress from work was the reason they couldn''t conceive. Aurora knew Julian loved children. Whenever he saw a cute child, he couldn''t help but nce a few more times.


    When they first met, he had said he wanted her to have his child, but as time went on, he never mentioned it again. Even when she brought it up, he would always change the subject.


    Julian had been giving her herbal medicine, telling her it was to regte her health. Aurora had her doubts, but she was always too busy to get checked.


    Now, unexpectedly, she found out she was pregnant. It felt like a surprise had fallen from the heavens.


    "Why are you crying? Don''t you want this child?"


    "No, no, I''m just too happy. I''m sorry, sir, I''ve lost myposure. I''ve been longing for this child for so long, and now that you''re telling me I''m pregnant, I can''t control my emotions. I''m not usually like this."


    Aurora wiped her tears with joy, fumbling to exin herself.


    "Thank you for saving me. My fiancé and I will be forever grateful to you." Aurora could already imagine how thrilled Julian would be when he found out about the baby.


    Seeing her so happy, Justin could tell she cared deeply for her fiancé. But he had already decided he wouldn''t let her go.


    "You''re engaged?"


    "No, not yet. We''re nning to get married in June. And when we do, you muste to our wedding. You saved both me and the baby. Without you, we wouldn''t be here." Aurora was already nning to invite her savior to the wedding. Her expression overflowed with happiness, a clear sign of the deep bond she shared with her fiancé. Justin, however, wasn''t ready to tell her the truth about their current situation. "You should rest now. I''ll prepare something for you to eat."


    "Alright."


    Aurora was still unaware of what was happening on the ship. She waspletely immersed in her joy. She hadn''t died, and now, she had a child.


    Julian, we''re having a baby.


    Justin walked out of the room, a heavy weight on his mind. Mrs. Woolf noticed his grim expression. "What''s wrong?"


    "She''s awake."


    "And that''s not a good thing? Now you don''t have to stare at her sleeping face all day. What''s with that expression? Or do you think she''s cuter when she''s asleep?"


    Sometimes feelings were like online rtionships-two people could chat passionately in the virtual world, but once they met in real life, their interest could vanish instantly.


    It was also like online shopping. You might see a seller''s picture and think it''s pure perfection, only to find out the real product is a pile of rags.


    When Aurora was asleep, Justin could imagine her as a fairy. Now that she was awake,


    he feared she might shatter his illusion.


    "No, she''s even more enchanting awake."


    Seeing Justin''s smitten expression, Mrs. Woolf could only shake her head in


    exasperation. This man was beyond saving.


    "Then why do you look like that?"


    "She''s too beautiful and so well-mannered. She''s nothing like those shallow women. I wasn''t wrong about her. But there''s something troubling me."


    "What''s troubling you?" Mrs. Woolf had never seen Justin so conflicted before. He was always decisive, never one to hesitate.


    "She has a fiancé. They''re getting married in June. And now that she knows she''s pregnant, she''s overjoyed."


    Hearing this, Mrs. Woolf immediately understood his dilemma. "You like her and want her to stay with you. But you feel it''s wrong to separate her from the father of her child."


    "Yes, I... I''m torn."

    From a moral standpoint, Mrs. Woolf didn''t support his actions. If Aurora didn''t have a fiancé, or if her rtionship with him wasn''t good, it would be different.


    But here she was, deeply in love and nning to get married. If Justin intervened, he''d be breaking up a happy couple, which was undeniably wrong.


    Yet, from a personal perspective, Mrs. Woolf felt for Justin. She had watched him grow up and knew how tough his life had been. He had never been this fond of anyone before.


    Over the years, countless women had failed to catch his eye, but now he was smitten with someone he had rescued from the sea.


    Fate worked in strange ways. If he missed this chance, Mrs. Woolf wasn''t sure if he''d ever find someone he loved as much.


    It was a double-edged sword. So, she chose to stay silent, leaving the decision to Justin.


    "She''s hungry. I''ll go have the kitchen prepare something for her."


    "You''re hopeless," Mrs. Woolf sighed helplessly.


    "Oh, and tell Frank to keep that woman away from the kitchen from now on."


    "Why? Weren''t you the one who told her to help in the kitchen?" Mrs. Woolf felt Justin had been contradicting himself more and moretely.


    Justin replied seriously, "The night I saved her, that woman-Ivy-said Aurora was a cruel and heartless person. She told Frank all sorts of nasty things about her.


    "I wasn''t sure at first, but now that Aurora''s awake, I''m certain. A woman as graceful as her could never be what Ivy described.


    "Instead, Ivy''s the one stirring trouble, trying to use her rtionship with Frank to manipte things. It''s clear she''s the one with a malicious heart. She might even have a grudge against Aurora.


    "Now that Aurora is pregnant, we have to be extra careful with her food and surroundings. Since even she didn''t know she was pregnant, Ivy surely doesn''t either. Keep this under wraps for now."

    "Justin, you don''t even know her name, and yet you''re this protective of her?" Mrs. Woolf couldn''t help but notice the care in his every word.


    "Right. I forgot to ask her name."


    "I don''t even know what to say to you anymore."


    "I''ll leave it to you, then. She hasn''t eaten properly in days. The kitchen should prepare


    something for her."


    "Never mind, I''ll handle it. None of you know how to care for a pregnant woman.


    You''re all a bunch of clueless men."


    "Thank you, Mrs. Woolf."


    "Don''t be so formal with me."


    Mrs. Woolf turned to leave, but Justin suddenly thought of something.


    "Mrs. Woolf, can I ask you a question?"


    "Go ahead."


    "Do I look scary?"


    "Why would you ask that? Did the youngdy say something?" Mrs. Woolf knew Justin


    never cared about his appearance. No man on this ship did.


    It was the first time Justin had ever asked such a thing, so it had to be because of something Aurora said.
