<b>Chapter 502 </b>
“My Aurora… my sweet Rora… I’m so sorry…”
Lucas held Aurora’s hand against his forehead.
A single tear slipped from the corner of his eye and fell softly into her palm.
Unfortunately, Aurora was still under the effects of medication, lost in unconsciousness<b>, </b>fast asleep…
The two of them simply stayed there in silence, not thinking about what came next.
All they wanted was to quietly be together, without anyone disturbing them.
When Ian returned<b>, </b>he found Lucas holding Aurora’s hand, resting beside her.
After a sleepless night, finally seeing her brought him a sense of relief, and his whole body seemed to rx.
Because of that, Lucas was able to lean peacefully by her bedside, savoring this rare moment of quiet.
Seeing this, Ian didn’t go in.
<b>He </b>wasn’t the type to miss social cues.
With such a tender moment between the two, how could he bear to interrupt?
Instead, Ian waited quietly outside, never stepping in.
With Aurora beside him, Lucas finally slept soundly.
Since yesterday, this had been the most restful sleep he’d had.
Tessa woke up in Julian’s arms, looked up at him, and sat up quickly. “What time is it now?”
“What’s wrong?”
Julian pulled his hand back from her body, grumbling, “Tessa, what are you so anxious about?”
“My mom knew I came out to meet you. Now that Aurora’s still unconscious, I don’t know if she’s heard anything about it.”
Tessa spoke while hurriedly putting on her clothes.
Julian shook off his drowsiness at once. “You’re right. I need to go take care of things at the hospital too.”
The moment she heard the word “hospital,” Tessa froze.
Her clothes were only half on, hanging loosely around her shoulders.
The next second, Tessa turned around, looked at Julian with a serious expression, and gently touched his cheek.
“Julian, once the bow is drawn<b>, </b>there’s no turning back. Since <b>I’ve </b>already done this, I have to see it through.
“I didn’t tell anyone about my n. You’re the only one who knows. I hope you’ll keep it a <b>secret </b>but also make sure <b>it’s </b>done
properly.”
Tessa spoke with gravity. “Let’s just say it’s for our future, alright?
Julian was moved by how earnest she was.
<b>He </b>hadn’t expected Tessa to go this far for him.
In the past, he really hadn’t seen her clearly.
<b>“</b><b>Don’t </b><b>worry</b><b>, </b><b>Tessa</b><b>. </b>I’ll do everything <b>I </b><b>can</b>.”
<b>“</b><b>I </b>know you’re doing all <b>this </b>for our future. How could I not help you?”
Hearing <b>that</b><b>, </b><b>a </b><b>satisfied </b>smile appeared on <b>Tessa’s </b><b>face</b>.
<b>Since </b>Julian was being so supportive<b>, </b>of course she needed to reward him.
<b>With </b><b>that </b>thought, Tessa leaned in and kissed him on the <b>lips</b><b>. </b>“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be with you.

“As soon <b>as </b>I secure Walton Corporation<b>, </b>I’ll have nothing holding me back. I’ll tell my mother right away that I want to be with <b>you</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
Julian was overwhelmed with emotion.
He had truly misjudged Tessa before.
He never imagined that deep <b>down</b>, she’d always been thinking about their little future together and getting married.
