Chapter 96
It could be said that Aurora’s condition today is much better. After receiving treatment and taking medication as prescribed, she can feel that her health has improved and gradually returned to normal as it used to be.
Still accompanied by Elenna, Aurora is sitting in front of the wardrobe this afternoon, arranging her clothes into the suitcase. Packing some items she wants to bring for traveling in the near future.
“Are you sure you want to go alone?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Elenna reassured again. Still anxious about the decision made by the princess.
After discussing with both parents and her younger sibling last night, Aurora finally heeded her mother’s advice. She decided to take a break. Asking for time to calm herself until all the recent problems are resolved as she hoped.
“If that’s your decision, please go ahead. I, Mom, and Dad will fully support you.”
After the discussion, Asher expressed his opinion. Knowing that his sister was sick due to too much stress and worries, he also felt sorry.
“But, you promise to resolve all the issues, whatever it is, related to Ms. Savana, right?”
Asher smiled and nodded. Since it’s his duty and almost 100% completed, Asher felt confident and believed that this time his actions could silence Savana and prevent the crazy woman from causing trouble again.
“Don’t worry. In a few days, Ms. Savana will pay for all her evil deeds. I assure you that when you return, all the problems will be resolved, and there will be no more bad rumors spreading.”
Aurora felt a little relieved. In this way, she was sure she could leave with a peaceful mind.
“But…” Aurora murmured softly. “With a break like this, it doesn’t mean you’re running away from problems, right?”
Asher smiled again. He knew there were still worries and doubts clouding Aurora’s heart.
“No way. Who’s running away from problems? You also need to refresh your mind, have the right to calm down, improve your mood so you can feel better and less stressed than before. Besides, it’s just a matter of days, all the big problems will be solved.”
With full support from her family, Aurora made up her mind. She decided to go for a while until her heart and mind could calm down and improve.
“Aurora is sure, Ma. Besides, Aurora is already grown up. So, she can go wherever she wants alone.”
“Yes, if you want company, Mama is ready to accompany you anywhere.”
Knowing her mother was worried, Aurora approached and briefly hugged Elenna. She kissed her mother’s cheek, then stared at her intensely to dispel the apparent worry.
“If Mama goes, Papa will be left alone. Don’t worry. Aurora will be fine.”
“But, how long will you be gone?”
Aurora smiled. It was funny to see her mother’s attitude exactly like a parent sending off their little child on a school trip with the school group.
“Until Aurora feels ready to return. Mama, don’t worry, Aurora will call and video call frequently. So Mama won’t miss her too much.”
Elenna pouted. But, seeing Aurora’s decision which couldn’t be questioned anymore, she accepted it and could only pray.
“Most importantly, before you leave, you have to talk to Alden first. Mama doesn’t want him to have any bad thoughts.”
“Yes,” Aurora nodded. After finishing packing her belongings into the suitcase, she got up and walked to the sofa. Taking her phone, then sitting there for a while. “Today Aurora will meet Alden first. Aurora will tell him everything and inform him of this decision. Mama, please pray that everything will go smoothly.”
“Of course, Aurora.” Elenna reassured. After all, what mother wouldn’t pray for the well-being of her children? “Mom’s prayers always accompany every step you take.”
Then, Aurora decided to contact Alden. She wanted to remind the man that they had to meet today. And for some reason, she had to advance the time from their previous appointment.
“Yes, dear?” Alden responded from the other side. From his voice, Aurora believed the man was on his way home from the hospital.
“Could we reschedule our meeting for today?”
“Sure. What time do you want to meet?”
“How about 5 p. m.?”
“5 p. m.? Sure. But, I have to drop off Mom first. Today she got an invitation, and coincidentally, she asked for a ride since last night. After dropping Mom off at the event venue, I’ll come pick you up. How’s that?”
“No need.” Aurora declined Alden’s offer. She thought it was a pity for her lover to go back and forth to drop her off and then pick her up. “Let’s just meet at the restaurant. So you don’t have to tire yourself back and forth. Worried you might get stuck in traffic, you know?”
“Yeah, that makes sense. Okay then. When you’re on the way or arrive at the restaurant later, just let me know. If I’m late, wait for me for a while, okay?”
“Sure. No problem.”
In the evening, Aurora dressed up beautifully. She wanted to look fresh and no longer pale like before at their evening meeting.
Occasionally, sadness crept in. If she could be honest, she didn’t really want to be separated from Alden for a while.
However, because she felt this was the right decision, Aurora tried not to be indecisive anymore. And she prayed that when she told Alden about the decision she had made, he would accept it and support her like her parents and her sibling did.
Not wanting to get stuck in traffic, Aurora deliberately left early. She even took the time to stop by the bakery because she wanted to bring Alden’s favorite cake.
Arriving at the restaurant, Aurora chose to wait. She informed Alden first that she had safely arrived at the restaurant and was now waiting for him.
Aurora: “I’ve arrived at the restaurant. Later, you come straight to table number 25 near the right-side window. I also brought your favorite cake.”
