Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 470: The Human Shield

The next day, as the warm sunlight pierced through the window panes and spilled onto the bed, the man and woman nestled together formed a picture of perfect serenity.

"Good morning," Julian murmured as he woke, his eyes softening at the sight of the woman he cherished. His fingers lovingly brushed through her soft hair as he whispered his greeting.

Looking down, he noticed his hand had been treated. Though the bandaging wasn't exactly neat, every wrap spoke of her care and affection.

"Julian, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?" Aurora asked, her voice still a little drowsy as she instinctively nuzzled against his chest.

Julian cupped her cheek, his gaze tender. "How could I not, with you here? You worked so hard for me last night."

He recalled how he had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye the previous night. Waking up now, his body felt clean and refreshed, with no trace of discomfort. She must have taken meticulous care of him while he slept.

"I only did for you what you've done for me before. It wasn't hard at all," Aurora replied, her voice already brighter than before. Her body had recovered well, and her energy had clearly returned.

After freshening up and undergoing a final checkup, Aurora was declared healthy again. The doctor reminded her to eat well and maintain regular meals to avoid further issues.

Asher arrived shortly after, bringing fresh clothes for Aurora. The three of them left the hospital together, chatting and laughing along the way.

When they returned to Aurora's residence in New York, Asher stayed for a short while before excusing himself for work. The apartment fell quiet, leaving only Julian and Aurora behind.

After wandering around to familiarize himself with the space, Julian waved her over. "Come here, Little Bunny."

"What is it, Julian?" Aurora asked as she stepped onto the balcony. He pulled her into his arms, and the two of them reclined on the lounge chair, the cool breeze brushing against their skin.
