"I want you to tell me about Queenie and Robin's family," Hera said.
Aurora felt her heart drop. She was certain now that Hera had set her up in order to hear her answer. Had Hera found out that she was the one who had given Queenie those instructions?
That wasn't right. If she had known about that, Hera would not have come here to chat with her about it. Instead, she would have just brought the police with her.
That was dangerous! She nearly fell into Hera's trap again.
Hera sure had balls. How dare she use her child against her! But for the sake of the baby in her stomach, Aurora had no choice but to comply with Hera's requests.
She collected the fright and anger she was feeling and asked calmly, "Why should I believe that your medication would be able to save my child?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Every second you waste is a missed chance to save your child. You don't have any other choice unless you don't want to save him anymore," Hera reminded.
Aurora's gaze darkened as she clenched her hands into fists. Hera was right. She did not have any other choice left. All of the other doctors had given up on her child!
"I want you to swear on your life that you'll save my child and let my child be born safely!" Aurora begged.
"You don't have any right to negotiate with me. I have always stuck to my words. I will save your child if you can give me the clues that I want. Otherwise—"
Hera did not finish her sentence. In truth, she did not trust Aurora. She even believed that there was a possibility that Aurora was the one who had instigated the car accident that killed Daphne.
But her relationship with her grandmother had already been exposed to the public. Although the Killians hadn't sought out for her, it would not be easy for her to enter the Killian residence to search for evidence.
So, Hera had set Aurora up to test her, as well as to give her a good excuse to enter the Killian residence. She wouldn't need to fear that Aurora would harm anyone until her child was born unless Aurora did not want the baby anymore.
