Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 466: I Want to Hear Your Story

The sound of rotor blades echoed above the hospital. Aurora, who was enjoying her dessert, instinctively looked up. "Why would there be a helicopter at the hospital?" she wondered aloud.

"Maybe it's some lunatic," Asher replied casually, though a sly glimmer flickered in his eyes.

The helicopter landed directly on the hospital rooftop. Aurora didn't dwell on it, dismissing any possible connection to Julian. She continued eating her dessert, oblivious to the small smear of cream left on the corner of her lips. Before she could react, Denis Vukic reached over and wiped it away.

Aurora froze. Wasn't this the man who was supposed to have a cleanliness obsession?

"Take your hand away," came a familiar voice. Everyone turned toward the door, and there he stood. Aurora instantly realized who the so-called lunatic was-none other than the man before her.

From initial surprise to growing delight, the pieces began to fall into place. No wonder she hadn't been able to reach him all day. He must have been on the plane the entire time. Was this his surprise for her?

"Julian..." It had only been a few days since she last saw him, but to Aurora, it felt like an eternity.

Without a second thought, and ignoring everyone in the room, Aurora flung the blanket aside and rushed toward him, throwing herself into his arms.

Julian, holding the petite woman in his embrace, hadn't expected such an enthusiastic reaction. The anger and worry that had been gnawing at him suddenly melted away, leaving only warmth in its place.

"Little Bunny, are you sick?" Julian asked softly, his eyes scanning her fragile figure. Was it his imagination, or had she gotten thinner?
