Chapter 691

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have reacted so calmly.

Still, no matter how hard Aurora racked her brain, she couldn’t figure out anything about Tessa’s social circle. It was like a complete blank.

After struggling for a while longer, Aurora gave up.

Forget it.

She might as well see when this tunnel planned to drop her off this time.

After all this time, she still had no idea what she was going through, or what the purpose of all this even was.

All she knew was that she was just an observer, unable to change anything.

And not just that–sometimes her memories were fragmented and jumbled.

The thought alone left her feeling disheartened.

Was this what she was here for? To relive everything from a different perspective?

But this time, the tunnel didn’t let her out, no matter how long she waited.

Instead, time kept flowing forward, bit by bit.

Aurora had now fully become a bystander, watching from the outside.

She saw her entire life unfold.

From her birth all the way to the time she was hospitalized.

At birth, she was just a baby in Grace’s arms, gently cradled and comforted with great care.

And that so-called dead father, the one Grace had claimed was long gone, was right there too, softly looking after the mother and daughter.

It should’ve been a beautiful, loving scene.

But Aurora noticed something off.

Though Grace’s expression looked gentle as she held her, when she turned to William, there was a faint trace of impatience on her face.

It was nothing like the way a woman looked at her husband.

Seeing that, Aurora felt even more confused.

What was going on here?

Weren’t the two of them always said to be deeply in love?

And while Grace rarely spoke of William at home, she never once said a bad word about him in front of Aurora or Tessa.

That was exactly why Aurora had always held a good impression of her father.

But now, this discovery left her with a creeping sense of unease.

Why did Grace wear that expression?

One thing was clear–William had been caring attentively for her, right at Grace’s side. Aurora saw it with her own eyes.

So…

Her lips pressed into a tight line, Aurora’s expression darkened.

Still, time marched on, ignoring her confusion completely.

It didn’t pause, not even for a second, to let her process what she’d just seen.

This frustrated her deeply.

She wanted to study everything carefully, but time refused to give her the chance.

It was as if the entire experience was deliberately working against her.

The thought alone made her furious.

But no matter how angry she got, it wouldn’t change a thing.

She never knew how she’d ended up in this place to begin with, so she had no choice but to follow its rules.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, the rules here were never going to change for her.

With that in mind, Aurora let out a sigh.

There was really nothing she could do about it.

Just as she suspected, no matter how anxious she felt or how much she wished to speed things up, time and the events unfolding before her would never bend to her will.

She couldn’t alter a thing.

All she could do was watch, moment by moment, as everything played out.

Though her heart was full of frustration, Aurora forced herself to be patient and continued following the timeline step by step.
