Adrian didn't leave. Instead, he guarded in front of the restroom and called Aurora.
When | unhooked my door and pushed it open a slit, Aurora quickly found me. She cand buried my tear-
ruined face in her chest, and huggedtight until they could getout of that restroom.
They tookto the hospital for another check-up, and gotback to Aurora's place after they made sure me
and the baby were both okay.
| have been numb the whole process, letting them operatelike a lifeless doll.
It had been only a few days since the last t| was in her messy living room, and | felt like several lives had
passed since that night. Lilith was waiting for us, and I burst into tears when they puton the sofa, and
wrappedin a furry blanket with a mug of hot cocoa stuffed in my hands.
| felt at home. | finally felt safe.
| don't know how long | had cried, but when I finally calmed down, | found them both still sitting by my side, their
eyes red, too. Have they been crying too?
"I'm sorry..." | want to bury myself in the blanket out of embarrassment," | lost control. I'm okay now..."
"You have all the right to be sad, and it's healthy to cry," Aurora goes for the sentiment tone, wrapping her arms

"There might be sground to sue the Fullers," Lilith says with her usual rational tone, "I need to check with
my men-uhh, boss."
Boss? Men-what?
"Men-tor?" | glance at her in confusion, and she looks away with a bashful look, "Mentor for what-OMG Lilith! You
got into the law firm?!" | glance at Aurora, and she nods with a proud smile.
Lilith's whole face turns scarlet red: Til tell you about it later. Right now we are here for you!"
The street Lilith lives on is...well, let's just say, it's not a neighborhood that grows doctors or lawyers. It grows the
customers that doctors and lawyers like the least the ones who are in biggest need of their service, and the ones
least likely to be able to afford those

"But hearing about that makesfeel better!" | exclaim, feeling my body shaking at the excitement, "OMG!
That's so great!"
Lilith buries her red face in my shoulder, and Aurora lets out a relieved laugh.
"Ahem," A fourth voice suddenly raised, "I think it might actually be her
hormones..."
Ohh... Yeah, that makes sense.
Wait?!
| shoot my head up, only to see Adrian sitting in the armchair, alone, all the way in the other corner of the living
room. Adrian?! "You-you are still here?!" | blink in shock.
"See?!" Aurora jumps up at my words as if it's sconditional
reflection, walking toward Adrian with a cold face, "I told you you should leave. She doesn't need you!"
Oops.
"Hmm-" | murmur after Aurora as she charges over like a fierce warrior.

foxy smirk in his eyes.
I haven't figured out what made Aurora dislike him so much, and he is already summoningfor my wingman

"Uhh-Aurora!" | take the risk of being thrown out by Aurora WITH Adrian, "Please, can he stay? He did save my
life from Liam Ryan..."
Also, | sort of promised your hand to him, so...

Adrian the fox grins at her. I find that cute, but | doubt Aurora would at such a time. And surely enough, Aurora
clears her throat awkwardly, looking everywhere around Adrian but him: "Uhh--thanks, for saving Scar. That's
really..." She nods, hoping to brief through her reluctant praise of her nemesis. But Adrian wouldn't make it easy,
but just stare at her.
Aurora's ear tips turn red.
"...heroic!" She finishes, glancing atwith a plaintive look.
"I just did what any man would do," Adrian stands up and takes Aurora's hand for a light kiss on the back of it,
standing there and gazing at her.
Like an idiot.
| roll my eyes and clear my throat. Does he not see that Aurora is about to burst into flame??? The two instantly
look away from each other. Adrian sits down again with a satisfied smile, and Aurora escapes back to my side.
