Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

After this incident, Julian cherished his days with Aurora more than ever. The longing that had built up over so many days erupted in an instant. He stayed by her side without leaving for a moment, so much so that he didn't even notice the stubble growing on his face.

Aurora sat up in bed, eating porridge. Julian watched her unwaveringly, as if afraid she might disappear if he so much as blinked.

"Julian, stop looking atlike that. I... I'm starting to feel embarrassed," Aurora said, her cheeks tinged with a shy blush under his intense gaze.

"It's fine. You eat, and I'll watch," Julian replied. The anxiety and fear he'd felt on the plane had now vanished. All he wanted was to keep looking at her like this for the rest of his life. Nothing else mattered as long as she was here.

Seeing how tirelessly he had rushed to her side, Aurora knew he probably hadn't eaten. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and offered it to him. "Here, you eat stoo." "I'm fine. You eat first," Julian insisted. "I heard you were sick for a whole day yesterday. That means you haven't eaten for more than a day and a night. You just recovered from a fever, and now you can't risk upsetting your stomach again." Julian wouldn't feel at ease until she had finished eating. Aurora had no choice but to empty the bowl in front of him. "Julian, I'm done now. Can you go eat something yourself?" "Alright." Julian wolfed down a bowl of food, not caring whether it tasted good or not.

"Julian, I'm feeling much better now. Let's go home," Aurora said after finishing her meal. Her fever had subsided, and after sleeping for over twenty hours, she felt no more discomfort.

Julian called Robert to examine her. Only after hearing Robert confirm that she was fine did Julian proceed to handle her discharge paperwork.

Before leaving, Robert waved Julian over. "Chere. I need to talk to you." Thinking it was about Aurora's condition, Julian quickly stepped outside.

The moment he did, he heard the click of a camera. Julian arched an eyebrow, watching Robert grin like a mischievous child. "Gotcha! Another rare shot of you looking disheveled. Tto post it online!" Aurora overheard Robert's gleeful voice from inside the room and shook her head helplessly. Were Nick and Robert really brothers? One was as cold as ice, while the other burned as bright as the sun. One was a man of few words; the other just couldn't stop talking.

She recalled the first tshe chere. Back then, when Robert saw Julian injured, his first reaction wasn't to treat him but to take a photo and post it online. And now, he was doing the sthing.

"Robert, get over here," Julian growled, his frustration still lingering. Now he had found the perfect outlet.

"Nope, not coming. The director has a meeting. You'd better take your Little Bunny and leave. She's fine now. Get her medication from the head nurse," Robert replied smugly.

Although Aurora couldn't see Robert's expression, she could imagine it clearly. This man really was... insufferable. If she were Julian, she'd have punched him by now.

Julian figured there wasn't much to worry about since Robert hadn't said anything serious about Aurora's condition. He turned back to the room.

"Little Bunny, let's go home." "Alright, let's go home," Aurora responded warmly.

She put on her coat and was about to get out of bed to slip on her shoes when Julian stepped forward.

"I'll do it," he said, kneeling down to put her shoes on for her.

Aurora felt a little embarrassed. "Julian, you don't have to go this far for me. I can do these things myself." "Little Bunny, I just want to take care of you," Julian said softly. This brief separation had only deepened his care for her. The thought of something happening to her terrified him.

Aurora sighed, resigned. "Alright, you can put my shoes on." Before she could get to her feet, Julian scooped her up in his arms.

"Julian, I'm really not that weak," Aurora protested.

"I just want to hold you," he said firmly.

Aurora obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him carry her to the car. Nestled in his familiar embrace, she felt a sense of calm wash over her.

"Julian, you cback so suddenly. What about your work?" Aurora asked, remembering how he'd rushed hovernight.

"I've already told Mira to find a new partner. From now on, I'll stay in Clothville with you. I'm not going anywhere," Julian said, his tone resolute.

"Julian, I'm really fine. This was my fault. I didn't think a little cold was worth worrying about. You don't have to give up so much for me. That's the European market!" Aurora said, her voice tinged with concern.

Even as a woman, Aurora had ambitions. She couldn't imagine Julian, with his drive, giving up such a golden opportunity. She had always feared becoming a burden to him, a tether holding him back. Julian deserved a boundless sky to soar in. Her role wasn't to tie him down but to support him, to let their love withstand any test. She didn't worry about sending him out into the world; she trusted he would always cback to her.

"All those so-called achievements mean nothing compared to you," Julian said, gently ruffling her hair. "I don't care about any of it. All I want is you. Stay by my side, and that's all I need."

Even without breaking into the European market, his wealth was more than enough for them to live luxuriously for ten lifetimes. He didn't need more money, and he wasn't about to risk losing Aurora for it. Who knew what might happen if he left again? Last time, it was Denis Vukic. This time, it was Kyle Raymond. Denis had acted out of circumstances, but Kyle was different. He was dangerous-a threat Julian couldn't ignore.

"Julian, I'm not a child anymore. I'll take care of myself and won't push myself too hard. You don't have to give up your ambitions because of me-" Before she could finish, Julian leaned down and kissed her, silencing her words. Familiar warmth spread between them as their lips met. After so much longing, Aurora couldn't help but respond, deepening the kiss.

Julian held her tightly in his arms. This little woman-what was it about her that made him so powerless to let go?

The moment he'd learned she was in danger, it felt as though his soul had left his body. When they finally pulled apart, Julian rested his forehead against hers. "Aurora, nothing in this world matters more than you. I don't need anything else. Just stay with me. Letcare for you, protect you, and watch over you. Will you?" How could Aurora refuse such heartfelt words? She nodded softly. "Okay." If this was what he thought was worth it, she wouldn't complain. This was Julian's choice, and she would respect it, especially since it was all for her.
