Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Amelia gently shook her head and said, “No, from what I have heard

from Aunt Mila and the others, it seems Dad wasn’t pleased with both

of Uncle Lance’s sons, so he’s been avoiding the topic. However,

Uncle Lance seems quite determined to have Bella as his future daughter-in-law.”

“Hmph, that old man is living in a fantasy! My sister is like a goddess,

and marrying her off to those brutes from the Iverson family is like

throwing pearls into the mud! Wyatt likely sees it the same way, which is why he didn’t give his blessing.”

Drew scoffed, muttering under his breath, “I suppose that old man

still has a touch of wisdom.”

“Bella, I’m here.” Christopher entered the ward quietly, his heart

twisting at the sight of Bella. She sat by the bedside, look and haggard. It pained him to see her in this condition.

He admitted to his deceitful schemes and despicable actions

when it came to loving Bella, his devotion was unparalleled. In th

lifetime, he vowed to marry no one but her.

For 15 years, his affection for her never changed.

“Chris, you’re here.” Bella shook her head and smiled at him. “Thank you for coming to see me. Please, have a seat.” She gestured toward

the couch.

Yet Christopher only wanted to sit by her side, to be as close to her as

possible. He longed to hold her, embrace her, and kiss her.

Christopher swallowed hard, his throat tight, as he settled beside the bed. He spoke in a gentle tone, “Where are you injured? Does it still hurt? How did you end up in a car accident?”

“It’s just some minor injuries. Nothing serious.” Bella responded, her clear eyes carrying a touch of bitterness. “I’m just upset about my

limited edition La Voiture Noire. It’s probably wrecked.”

“The car doesn’t matter. Your safety is what’s important.” Christopher

couldn’t help but grasp her hand firmly in his warm palm. “Whatever car you want, I will get it for you, even if there’s only one in the whole

world.”

He was willing to give Bella everything.

Bella’s pupils contracted slightly as she quickly withdrew her hand

from Christopher’s grasp, a hint of discomfort flashing in her eyes,

“Chris, thank you for your sincerity.” Bella’s eyes welled up with tea

her smile carrying a touch of sorrow. “But I no longer want anything to do with love. Not now, and definitely not in the future. I can’t

anymore.”

Steven and Asher left during the day, leaving only Amelia to take care

of Bella. Drew couldn’t help but feel uneasy with just two young women here. Despite his eldest brother leaving his personal

bodyguards behind, Drew still couldn’t shake off his concerns.

As the night progressed, Drew and Amelia sat together on a long

bench in the corridor. Having tended to her sister all day, Amelia was

exhausted. Her head gradually drooped, and her eyelids were weighed down by sleepiness. In her fatigued state, she looked innocent and

endearing.

Eventually, Amelia couldn’t fight off sleep any longer. Her head tilted,

coming to rest on Drew’s shoulder.

Drew was momentarily surprised, his gaze softening as he looked at

Amelia. He didn’t dare to move, struck by the unexpected closeness.

Since he was a child, Drew has maintained a certain distance from

his father’s other kids. It was as if he never truly considered them to

be his family.
