Chapter 885

Aside from that, nothing else came to mind, and with Megan still keeping her company, Aurora truly felt she had already caused enough trouble for everyone.

She was never the type to burden others, and even though most of the past month had been a blur, the few days she was awake had been genuinely tough to endure.

That was why she was so eager to return to work, where her goals lived and her ambitions belonged.

Lucas saw the fierce determination in her eyes and, simply holding her hand, gave it a gentle squeeze, quietly showing his support.

He said softly, “Don’t worry. I’m here for everything. I’ll speak with the police back home too, so you don’t need to worry about Julian anymore.”

“Alright, then let’s head back.”

A soft smile appeared on Aurora’s delicate face, and at the same time, a deep sense of peace settled in her heart.

With the man she loved and the people who loved her by her side, what more could she ask for?

This was already the best outcome she could hope for, and she truly had no other wishes.

Still, Aurora couldn’t help but feel a bit curious–now that Tessa and Julian had crossed the line, how would Grace handle it?

Part of her was waiting to see, but she wasn’t holding out hope.

After all, she had seen with her own eyes how Grace had treated Tessa all these years, and expecting too much now would only be an insult to herself.

And so, their time in Millford finally came to an official close, and when they left, Aurora didn’t inform Grace.

She figured it was better to wait until they were back.

Megan was a little curious. “So… what about Tessa? Aren’t we going to do anything about her?”

Lucas gave a slight nod. “She and Julian were in it together. Now that we have evidence against him, she’ll definitely have to stay here and face the investigation.”

“Alright, got it.”

Megan didn’t really care where Tessa ended up.

Still, if Grace asked her about it later, she wasn’t sure how she’d explain everything.

After all, she came to Millford because Grace asked her to.

She needed to give her a full account, or this whole trip would’ve felt pointless.

She’d gone through a lot during this time, and her views had shifted more than she expected.

It was exactly because of all that that she believed Tessa deserved the consequences coming to her.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be completely unfair to Aurora?

Had she just suffered through a month in bed for nothing?

The four of them boarded the return flight together.

And this time, Leonard’s eyes weren’t focused solely on Aurora.

In his line of sight now was Megan too.

This girl, talkative as she was, had a bright, lively energy that kept drawing his attention without him realizing it.

Throughout the flight, he found his gaze unconsciously trailing after her.

No matter what she was doing, he couldn’t help watching.

Somehow, seeing her chattering away brought a strange, peaceful clarity to his heart.
