Aurora paused when she saw who had entered her ward. The woman wore a black shirt, black jeans, and a pair of black Martin boots. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and looked extremely attractive.
The black clothes caused her skin to glow, while her beautiful eyes and thick eyelashes began to merge with the memory of the little girl she once knew.
Cecily Killian! Oh, no. She's now Hera Youngworth.
If it weren't for Catherine, she would not have recognized Hera as her former cousin. But she wasn't dead! She had even managed to hide in Jedburgh for more than half a year!
Aurora couldn't help but tighten her grip on her blankets when she thought about Queenie.
"Dr. Shadow!" Xeno did not expect her to appear in Aurora's ward so soon. His expression was filled with delight as he said, "Could you please take a look at my wife's condition?"
"Alright," Hera answered, but she wasn't looking at him. Instead, her gaze was fixed on Aurora.
"Honey, I'm suddenly craving the crepes from Happylicious. Could you go and buy me a slice?" Aurora said to Xeno after returning to her senses.
"Sure. But are you sure you'll be fine on your own?" Xeno asked.
Aurora urged, "I'll be fine. Just go."
"Alright, but you shouldn't get upset so easily. Dr. Shadow, I'll leave my wife in your hands," Xeno said before leaving.
Then, the two women were left alone in the ward.
Hera walked toward Aurora's bed and glanced at Aurora coldly. Her gaze fell on Aurora's stomach, and she said, "I can help you save your baby."
"What do you want?" Aurora asked in confusion. She did not believe in people helping others without wanting anything in return, and she absolutely did not believe Hera was so kind as to voluntarily save her baby.
Hera smirked. "Ms. Killian, you're so smart and cautious. How did you get deceived by Camille's schemes?"
