Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 763

Asher realized he couldn't convince Aurora, so he had no choice but to accompany her. The car sped toward R Company.

"What do you plan to say when you see her?" Asher asked, unsure of what Aurora intended to do.

"What else can I say? I want her to tell me the truth."

She had been kept in the dark for so many years. She couldn't let this continue forever.

If not for Ivy's unexpected visit and casual mention of the matter, she would still be living in ignorance, deceived by everyone around her.

"The truth? What if the truth is something you can't accept? Haven't you ever heard of a well-intentioned lie? Sometimes, ignorance can be a kind of happiness. Knowing the truth can hurt."

Asher understood all too well. If so many people didn't want Aurora to know, it was clear that whatever it was would only cause harm. People were selfish by nature. Between Tina and Aurora, Asher naturally prioritized Aurora's well-being and happiness over anything else.

"Ashy, I understand what you mean. But if my happiness comes at the cost of someone else's suffering, I'd rather not have that kind of happiness," Aurora said, gazing out at the scenery rushing past the window.

From childhood, her mother had always protected her. Even after faking her death, there was a time Aurora couldn't comprehend why her own mother would pretend not to recognize her.

But as time passed, she slowly understood. Her mother hadn't changed. She was still protecting her, just in a different way.

Aurora realized she had done nothing for her mother all along. If her mother was now suffering, she wanted to be there with her. If they couldn't share joy, at least they could share pain. That, she felt, was her duty as a daughter.
