Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 278: I Will Take Care of You for Life

Aurora was awakened by the smell of disinfectant, a scent all too familiar to her. As a child, her frail health meant frequent hospital visits, and sure enough, as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the stark white hospital ceiling.

A few nurses in pink uniforms were nearby, and the drip of IV fluids slowly entered her body. Her mouth was so dry it felt like it was on fire, which was very uncomfortable. However, she wondered, how had she ended up in the hospital?

Turning her head, she saw Julian standing by the window with his hands behind his back. It was deep into the night; the world was silent except for the full moon hanging in the sky. His tall silhouette seemed to be touched by the night's dew, exuding a chill and melancholy air.

"Julian..." her voice raspy as she spoke.

Hearing her faint voice, Julian quickly closed the distance to her bedside, looking at her with concern.

"Little Bunny, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort? Are you thirsty or hungry?" Julian bombarded her with questions, and Aurora didn't know where to begin.

She shook her head, "I'm fine, just a bit thirsty. Could you get me a cup of water?" "Alright, just wait a moment."

Julian turned to walk towards the table, but Aurora caught a strong scent of smoke on him. The man before her didn't smoke, just as she was gradually quitting, but his smell wasn't from smoking just one or two cigarettes.

Only when deeply troubled did he smoke excessively-could it be that he was too worried about her? Given Julian's feelings for her, it wasn't impossible.

Julian quickly returned with a cup of water, and the nurse helped Aurora sit up. Julian, as if afraid she couldn't drink on her own, even prepared a small spoon for her, which was no help at all for her thirst.

"Julian, it's just a little cold, no need to be so careful, I can manage," she said, taking the cup from his hand and drinking it all in one go.
