Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 514

Chapter 514: I Want Her

On a cold winter day, there was nothing better than a warm cup of coffee, a favorite book in hand, and the sight of pure white snowflakes drifting outside.

Aurora thought this was the most beautiful state of life. Having just returned to Clothville, she felt a little out of place. She decided to rest at home today and head to the office tomorrow.

As she contemplated this, the phone on the table rang loudly. Without even looking, Aurora picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Aurora, it's me," came Hayden's weak voice.

"What's wrong?" Aurora wondered if it was his injured hand acting up again.

"I have a fever. It's pretty bad. No one's home. Can you come over and get me some water?" Hayden sounded utterly feeble.

Aurora frowned, recalling how Susan had brought Marcos over to provoke him last night. Could he really be sick?

"Wait for me. I'll be there soon." After all, he'd gotten hurt saving her once. Aurora had always felt she owed him.

"Miss, where are you going?" Mrs. Hill, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard Aurora preparing to leave.

"I'm going next door to check on something. I'll be right back." Aurora glanced outside at the freezing weather. If he really was sick, how could he manage alone?

Aurora hurried to the house next door. The door was shut, and she figured Hayden probably didn't have the strength to come open it. She called him again.

"What's your door code?"

"Your birthday," he replied.
