“But what if Miss Aurora still doesn’t wake up?”
He was genuinely worried about Aurora and unsure of what to do next.
After all<b>, </b>his job depended on working directly with her.
Most of what he handled could only proceed if she was awake.
But now, with her still lying unconscious in bed–what was supposed to happen next?
What was this even supposed to be?
Ian stood at the doorway,pletely lost.
Should he stay here or go back to the office?
He really didn’t know what he was supposed to do.
In the end, he decided to return to thepany.
Staying here wouldn’t help.
He wasn’t a nurse or a doctor, and he couldn’t do anything for her.
Before leaving, he stepped inside to speak with Lucas.
Seeing Aurora still lying quietly in bed, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
But this situation couldn’t go on forever.
Aurora remaining here like this wasn’t good for thepany either.
The business still had to run, and many key decisions depended on her leadership.
That wasn’t something a junior assistant like him could handle.
What thepany needed was for Aurora to wake up and take the reins again.
Lucas looked up, a flicker of puzzlement in his eyes when he sawn.
Ian cleared his throat and exined, “Mr. Carter, I think I’d <b>better </b>head back for now. I can’t be of much help here, and thepany still needs someone on site.”
Lucas gave a slight nod.
“I’ll stay. That’s enough.”
“Alright then.” Ian quickly expressed his thanks.
“I’ll get back to it. We can’t let Miss Aurora’s hard work geto waste.<b>” </b>
Hearing the words “go to waste,” Lucas finally reacted.
<b>“</b>Tunderstand. Go handle things.”
Ian had a point.
There was no use in everyone staying here doing nothing.
“Thepany’s going to need you,” Lucas said calmly.

<b>“</b><b>And </b><b>for </b><b>now</b><b>, </b><b>don’t </b>let anyone know Aurora’s <b>sick</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>Tan </b><b>immediately </b><b>grasped </b>the gravity <b>of </b>the instruction.
<b>“</b>Understood. <b>Don’t </b><b>worry</b><b>, </b><b>I </b>won’t say a word.”
It <b>was </b>true–Aurora’s illness couldn’t be made public.
Otherwise, chaos would erupt.
<b>So </b>many projects were still waiting on her.
As long as she remained unconscious, half the operations of Walton Corporation would grind to a halt.
Her condition absolutely couldn’t be leaked.
After Ian left, Lucas turned his gaze back to Aurora’s face.
Clearly, he couldn’t just sit around and do nothing anymore.
Things outside had already gotten far too out of control.
If he continued waiting passively, who knew what kind of storm those vultures might stir up next?
With Aurora lying here, defenseless, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
He had to <b>stay </b>close.
And as for thepany–he’d have to find someone reliable to keep an eye on things for her.
Right now, Walton Corporation was like a hollow shell.
Grace was unwell, and Aurora’s current condition left everything uncertain.
If anyone with ill intent caught wind of what was happening, they’d strike without hesitation.
Lucas had already considered that possibility, and there was no way he would just sit back and let it happen.
He looked at Aurora with gentle eyes.
“Rora, don’t worry. I’ll protect thepany you fought so hard for <b>I </b>promise you that.”
