Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Not far away, two people walked out of the lounge. It was Shannon’s personal assistant and maid.

Bella quickly pulled Arnold with her and hid behind a pillar, secretly eavesdropping on them.

The maid muttered, “What’s wrong with Madam Shannon recently?

She’s acting weird.”

“Yeah, she was fine on the way here. Now, she asked me to bring her clothes because she felt cold. But when she put on the jacket, she said it was too thick and scolded me for it.” The assistant looked

indignant.

“Not just that! I wonder what’s going on with Madam Shannon’s body? Her body temperature is so unstable, and her appetite has

increased!”

The maid looked around cautiously and said, “Did you know that I once saw Madam Shannon in the kitchen at midnight, eating the d inside the fridge?”

“How is that possible? Madam Shannon never eats desserts to

maintain her figure!” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Who knows? She was stuffing her mouth with cake. I was horrified…”

Bella and Arnold heard them clearly, both frowning.

“Also…”

The maid inched closer to the assistant and whispered in a lower voice, “Did Madam Shannon have an affair?”

The assistant’s face turned pale, nudging the maid. “If you want to stay alive, you’d better take these words to your grave! We grew up together, so I’ll let this slide. But you can’t say this to another person! Do you hear me?”

“Fine! But did Madam Shannon have an affair?” The maid insisted.

“I don’t know the specifics, but Madam Shannon kept going for cosmetic treatments recently, and she has been quite close with that handsome young doctor. But we can’t conclude that she’s having an affair just because of this.”

The two then disappeared from the doorway.

Bella, who heard everything, frowned and was lost in her thoughts.

“Hmm… This sounds weird.” Arnold rubbed his chin.

“You think it’s weird too?”

“A sudden increase in appetite, feeling hot and cold, unstable

emotions… These abnormal symptoms sound like someone wh

trying to give up on drugs.”

Bella curled her lips coldly and walked to a corner. Her back faced

Arnold as she dialed a number.

Someone picked up the call soon. A young male voice spoke with a

respectful and polite tone. “Ms. Thompson, you finally contacted me.”

Bella said, “Simon, it’s been quite some time. How have you been?”

“Thanks to you, my cosmetic clinic has been thriving. Everything is

fine.”

Simon Fairchild was a talented plastic surgeon who came from a poor family. He was admitted to Savrow’s top university with excellent academic results. However, due to his family condition and his father’s early death, coupled with his mother’s illness, the heavy burden on him almost made him give up on his studies.

Later on, Wyatt used Bella’s name to establish a joint scholarship foundation with the university. Bella selected Simon as one of the recipients from the vast number of students.

Their relationship was not purely between a beneficiary and a sponsor. Over the years, Bella occasionally asked about his academic life, although they had never met.

Although Bella was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Hatchbay, she did not look down on him at all. Whenever Simon gathered the courage to email her, she would definitely reply within three day

To Simon, Bella was not only his benefactor. She was also a light that pulled him out of hell.

He would provide his assistance to Bella as long as she wanted it

would do anything for her at any time.

“Simon, has Shannon Quarry been getting injections from you recently?” Bella lowered her voice.

“Yes. She comes every week. At first, she only took one shot. Now,

she needs three injections to be satisfied.”

Simon smiled coldly. “As the dosage increases, the side effects will

become more obvious. If I’m not mistaken, she may be binge eating,

feeling cold for no reason, and suffering from insomnia.”
