Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

Indeed, Aurora acknowledges Regina’s courage is truly immense. Without any fear or hesitation whatsoever, the woman openly invites Aurora to compete.

At first, Aurora wanted to ignore the nonsense the woman was spouting. However, upon seeing Regina’s determination and effort, Aurora reconsiders. Because of past mistakes that led to losing Alden, she won’t allow it to happen again.

“What are you watching again?”

Asher asked. He was surprised to find his sister, who had just arrived at the hospital, not rushing to the room, but rather busy observing people coming and going in the ER.

“There,” Aurora pointed boldly. “Watching my competitor.”

Asher immediately turned to follow where Aurora’s finger was pointing. Squinting, focusing his gaze on one person who was busy mingling and eating cake with the other medical team members.

“Doctor Regina?”

Aurora nodded.

“Yeah. I’m indeed observing her movements.”

Asher’s brow furrowed. He, who didn’t understand much, immediately asked out of confusion. Moreover, he thought why his sister was bothering to observe the movements of someone who was busy chatting.

“What’s wrong with Dr. Regina? Is something the matter?”

Aurora nodded again. But, there was no definite answer. With her mouth closed, she began to walk slowly, beckoning Asher to follow her to her room.

“What’s really going on, Aurora?”

Asher wasn’t surprised at all that Aurora kept many secrets or kept her problems to herself. But, hearing his sister suddenly acting strange towards someone, he was curious to know. He was afraid something important or even bad was happening to her.

“Do you know?”

“Don’t know.”

Asher shook his head. Aurora hadn’t finished telling her story.

“So, listen first.”

“Okay… okay.”

“This Regina has a crush on Alden. And yesterday, she openly asked me to compete for Alden.”

“What?!”

Asher was startled. Seriously shocked to hear his sister’s explanation. He thought only Savana’s issues colored his sister’s relationship. Turns out, there was another matter worth paying attention to.

“Did Dr. Regina say that? Seriously?”

“Seriously. Moreover, she said that if she succeeds in getting Alden, I have to be willing to let go and if necessary, move away.”

“Crazy!”

This time Asher cursed. Shocked himself to hear Aurora’s story.

“If you want, I can transfer Regina to our other branch hospital in another city. So, there won’t be anyone disturbing or attempting to approach Alden.”

Aurora shook her head. She didn’t accept Asher’s offer at all. However, as the hospital owner, if Aurora wanted it to be easy, she could use her power to get rid of Regina so she wouldn’t disturb them.

“No need.”

“Why not?”

Asher asked, puzzled. “If this were happening to Clara, she’d be begging me to change workplaces.”

Aurora laughed briefly. Actually, she realized that Asher must be worried about her.

“At first, I thought like you. If I didn’t want trouble, why not just fire Dr. Regina from our hospital. But, after thinking about it, it’s the same as being a coward. As if I can’t defeat her and keep Alden from turning away from me.”

Asher chuckled at Aurora’s response. “There’s some truth to that.”

“Yeah, it’s true. If I directly get rid of Regina, it means I don’t trust my ability to fight and win this battle. So, let it be. If it’s meant to be, even if it’s disturbed or separated, in the end, they’ll still be together.”

Seeing the great confidence emanating from Aurora’s face, Asher dismissed his worries. He felt that for this issue, his sister could handle it herself.

“So, how’s the progress on Mrs. Savana’s case? Is there any certainty yet, when it can be resolved soon?”

Asher nodded. As usual, he responded casually.

“Don’t worry. At the latest, by next week, this issue will be resolved. Then, you just have to choose whether Savana wants to be processed civilly or criminally. I think it should be criminal. So she can experience what it’s like to sleep in a 10-star hotel.”

For this choice, Aurora left it entirely to her younger brother. Moreover, she was tired and reluctant to deal with Savana, who kept causing trouble. Let that foolish woman who enjoys disturbing her life be directly managed by a Lion like Asher.

“You’re not lying to me, are you? Seriously, did your mom say anything after meeting us at the restaurant the other day?”

In front of Aurora’s room, Alden appeared to shake his head. For the umpteenth time, he reassured that the worries his girlfriend still felt weren’t true.

“Seriously. Why would I lie? Even when we got home, Mom didn’t mention anything.”

“Really?”

Alden nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, darling. I’m not lying. She didn’t mention anything. So, you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ve told you, our relationship will be just fine.”

Aurora breathed a little easier. At least, what she feared didn’t actually happen.

“Well, if that’s the case. But please, if there’s anything, let me know even if it hurts.”

“Sure. Don’t worry. Let’s go home now. We’ll get stuck in traffic if we’re late.”

Aurora turned around. Grabbing her neatly stored bag on the table, she walked alongside Alden towards the ground floor.

Initially, Aurora and Alden wanted to go straight to the car. But, as they crossed the lobby, they both saw a crowd gathering, forcing them to take a peek.

“What’s going on?” Alden asked one of the nurses outside the crowd.

“That, sir. Dr. Regina accidentally slipped and sprained her ankle.”

Alden nodded in understanding. He wondered what caused the commotion.

“But, it’s being taken care of, right?”

The nurse nodded.

“She was going to be taken to the ER. But, luckily, it’s already being handled. It seems to be getting better.”

Convinced that there was no serious problem, Alden intended to leave. But, just as he took a step to invite Aurora to leave, his name was called.

“Dr. Alden.”

Alden naturally stopped. Upon turning, he found Regina standing and trying to walk unsteadily.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you have your car, doctor?”

Alden nodded.

“Yes.”

“Can I catch a ride with you? Today, I didn’t bring my car.”

Aurora, standing next to Alden, immediately pursed her lips. Wanting to think positively, but her heart rebelled. She believed that this was one of Regina’s tactics to get close to her boyfriend.

Aurora thought Alden would firmly refuse. Instead, the man nodded. Then he invited Regina to follow his steps outside the hospital.

At the same time, Aurora could see how Regina smiled as if satisfied. And when they arrived outside, Alden asked Regina and Aurora to wait for a moment.

Aurora thought Alden deliberately asked them to wait because he wanted to fetch the car. But, a few moments later, he returned with an online driver.

“Come on, Dr. Regina, I’ll help you get to the car. I just ordered an online taxi.”

Regina was momentarily stunned. Then not long after, she protested.

“Why take an online taxi?”

“I can’t drive you because I have something to attend to with Dr. Aurora.”

Regina immediately frowned.

“But I wanted to hitch a ride with Dr. Alden. How could you let me take a taxi alone? What if something happens on the way?”

Aurora responded to Regina’s statement this time calmly.

“If Dr. Regina is afraid or worried about taking an online taxi, how about going home by ambulance instead? I’ll ask for two nurses to accompany you.”

Regina immediately glared. Angrily, she got into the car that Alden had ordered.

Meanwhile, on the way home, Aurora and Alden laughed in unison. It was amusing, responding to Regina’s deliberate maneuvers, but in the end, they managed to handle it together.

“Thanks for safely escorting me home once again.”

Alden smiled.

“With pleasure, Your Highness. But, tomorrow morning, I won’t be able to pick you up. I have a dawn schedule. Are you okay with that?”

“Don’t worry. Tomorrow I’ll go with Velia instead.”

“Okay. Just be careful.”

After saying their goodbyes, Aurora let Alden go. Just as she was about to enter the house and hadn’t closed the door yet, she heard her name called from afar.

“Aurora….”

Turning around, Aurora was slightly surprised. Rushing over, she immediately greeted.

“Aunt Zendaya? Why are you here?”

Indeed, Zendaya had taken the time to stop by that afternoon. But, Aurora wasn’t exactly sure of her intentions.

“Are you busy?”

“No, Aurora isn’t busy. I just got home from work.”

“Can Aunt come in? There’s something Aunt wants to discuss with you.”

Aurora immediately invited Zendaya in. In her heart, she was nervous about what Alden’s mother wanted to discuss with her.
