Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 204 The Harder You Work, the Luckier You Get

Aurora's assistant showed up at my place. Once I heard about Aurora's condition, I handed my kid to the nanny, changed clothes, and rushed to the hospital with her.

At the hospital entrance, a bunch of reporters were already there, waiting. The moment we stepped out of the car, they swarmed us. "Can you give us an update on Aurora's condition?"

"There have been rumors about Aurora's health. What's really going on with her?"

Aurora's assistant moved quickly towards the hospital, looking serious. I followed her closely while security kept the reporters at bay. Inside a fancy ward filled with doctors, nurses, and Aurora's students, it was eerily quiet. The smell of disinfectant was strong in the air. Aurora was lying on the bed in a gown and oxygen mask, looking pale and worn out. She managed a weak smile when she saw me. Her doctor, seeing she wanted to talk, took off her oxygen mask for a bit.

"Emily."

Aurora reached out her hand to me.

I walked over and held her hand. "Aurora."

I always knew Aurora's heart wasn't in great condition. But she was so health-conscious, I didn't think it would get this bad so soon. Seeing her now, with the heavy atmosphere in the room, I feared she was on her last breath. Aurora was my mentor in my entrepreneurial journey. She taught me professional knowledge and helped me build my confidence, guiding me to become a healthy, confident, and independent woman.

Even now, with her last breath, Aurora still had a smile on her face.

It was like she wasn't about to die but was about to be freed, heading to a better place.

"Emily, there's something you have to promise me."

"Tell me. If I can do it, I will," I said quickly.

Aurora smiled, relieved. "You can do it; I know you can."

She then looked at her assistant, who took a document from her bag and handed it to me.

I glanced at it and understood what Aurora wanted, quickly shaking my head.

"No."

Aurora held my hand, encouraging me. "Didn't you already promise me? I believe you can do it."
