Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora froze for a moment. "Why aren't we going to the hospital anymore?"

"You should ask yourself that, Aurora. Did I underestimate you?" Justin had already spoken to Mrs. Woolf when he returned, questioning her about what Aurora and Julian had said. At first, those words seemed harmless, but now he realized Aurora had found a clever way to send him a message, and the man had understood it.

The hospital was no longer an option. Considering how much Aurora had been running around lately, Justin thought it would be too exhausting for her to return to the ship right away. He decided she should stay on land for a while instead.

He mentioned a place Aurora had never heard of before. Mrs. Woolf paused, then nodded. "It's about time to go back. Besides, Petal Fest is coming up in a few days. I haven't attended it in years."

Aurora wasn't familiar with Petal Fest. It was likely a local festival.

Julian was already gone, and her heart sank into despair. Having missed him this time, how would she ever meet him again? She stayed silent during the journey, sitting in the back seat, her exhaustion eventually lulling her to sleep.

Meanwhile, Nick had failed to catch up with the car. "We've lost the trail."

Julian was filled with remorse, blaming himself. "It's all my fault. If I'd insisted on going over to look, I would've found her. It's all on me!"

Seeing him pound his head in frustration, Irene quickly stopped him. "Hurting yourself won't bring Little Bunny back. Don't worry, she's smart. She'll find another way to contact you. Keep your phone on and be ready. Next time, we'll act carefully and make sure nothing like this happens again."

"Yes," Julian agreed, though his heart burned with frustration. "From the video, it's clear that pirate is protective of her. He's even afraid she might trip while walking. And since they could dine in a high-end restaurant, it seems his situation isn't bad. For now, Aurora won't suffer."
