Chapter 771

Aurora suddenly remembered how she used to wonder who Lucas's first love truly was.

Thinking about it now—could it have been her younger self all along?

But then, what did Lucas mean back in the rubble when he said they had met long ago?

When exactly had that happened?

Why didn’t she remember any of it?

No matter what, right now Aurora was overwhelmed with joy and emotion.

After all this time, the person she’d wanted to thank the most had been right beside her all along.

He even became her husband.

If she told anyone this story, no one would believe it.

But thankfully, fate had given her a second chance.

It wasn’t too late.

She still had time to find out who had tried to hurt her.

And more importantly, to give that time to Lucas.

She had misunderstood him for so long.

Now, she had to learn how to truly love him.

That was the very least she owed him.

Beyond that, she’d have to learn how to nurture their relationship and keep it strong.

Right now, Aurora’s heart was completely filled with sweetness and warmth.

She couldn’t wait to return to her real life.

She didn’t want to waste another second here.

She had learned everything she had needed to know.

What was left now was for her to investigate on her own.

To linger here any longer would be wasting time and life.

There was simply no more reason to stay.

Just as she was thinking all this, everything in front of her suddenly went dark.

As the familiar sensation swept over her, Aurora felt more joy than fear.

Her body felt lighter, her mind clearer, and everything inside her seemed to ease and flow freely.

Was she finally returning to the real world?

The thought alone brought a smile to her face that she couldn’t hide.

All she wanted now was to see Lucas as soon as possible.

She didn’t want to waste even a second more.

She had no desire to linger in meaningless moments.

She just wanted to know—how was Lucas doing in the real world?

It had been so long since they last saw each other, and truth be told she truly missed him, especially now, knowing he was the one she had been searching for all those years.

Her feelings for him had completely transformed.

“Lucas, you’d better be waiting for me.”

In the blink of an eye, everything lit up around her.

But this time, she was lying on a hospital bed.

Before she could even process what was happening, she saw a familiar figure approaching her with a syringe in hand.

Aurora’s body reacted faster than her thoughts.

She grabbed his hand mid-motion, stopping the syringe from going any further.

Julian had been wearing a mask, planning to act quickly without giving himself a chance to hesitate.

But he hadn’t expected Aurora to wake up at that exact moment—that was his biggest mistake.

With one strong motion, Aurora used his leverage to sit up straight.

She yanked the mask off his face, and when she saw it was Julian, she gasped, “What are you doing in my room?

“And what are you planning to do with that syringe?”

Aurora narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

At this point, she had every reason to believe that Julian was trying to kill her.
