After this incident, Julian cherished his days with Aurora more than ever. The longing that had built up over so many days erupted in an instant. He stayed by her side without leaving for a moment, so much so that he didn't even notice the stubble growing on his face.

Aurora sat up in bed, eating porridge. Julian watched her unwaveringly, as if afraid she might disappear if he so much as blinked.

"Julian, stop looking at me like that. I... I'm starting to feel embarrassed," Aurora said, her cheeks tinged with a shy blush under his intense gaze.

"It's fine. You eat, and I'll watch," Julian replied. The anxiety and fear he'd felt on the plane had now vanished. All he wanted was to keep looking at her like this for the rest of his life. Nothing else mattered as long as she was here.

Seeing how tirelessly he had rushed to her side, Aurora knew he probably hadn't eaten. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and offered it to him. "Here, you eat some too."

"I'm fine. You eat first," Julian insisted. "I heard you were sick for a whole day yesterday. That means you haven't eaten for more than a day and a night. You just recovered from a fever, and now you can't risk upsetting your stomach again."

Julian wouldn't feel at ease until she had finished eating. Aurora had no choice but to empty the bowl in front of him. "Julian, I'm done now. Can you go eat something yourself?"

"Alright." Julian wolfed down a bowl of food, not caring whether it tasted good or not.

"Julian, I'm feeling much better now. Let's go home," Aurora said after finishing her meal. Her fever had subsided, and after sleeping for over twenty hours, she felt no more discomfort.

Julian called Robert to examine her. Only after hearing Robert confirm that she was fine did Julian proceed to handle her discharge paperwork.

Before leaving, Robert waved Julian over. "Come here. I need to talk to you."

Thinking it was about Aurora's condition, Julian quickly stepped outside.

The moment he did, he heard the click of a camera. Julian arched an eyebrow, watching Robert grin like a mischievous child. "Gotcha! Another rare shot of you looking disheveled. Time to post it online!"
