113 n For Revenge


    Scarlett''s POV


    Adrian didn''t leave. Instead, he guarded in front of the restroom and called Aurora.


    When I unhooked my door and pushed it open a slit, Aurora quickly found me. She came and buried my tear-ruined face in her chest, and hugged me tight until they could get me out of that restroom.


    They took me to the hospital for another check-up, and got me back to Aurora''s ce after they made sure me and the baby were both okay.


    I have been numb the whole process, letting them operate me like a lifeless doll.


    It had been only a few days since thest time I was in her messy living room, and I felt like several lives had passed since that night. Lilith was waiting for us, and I burst into tears when they put me on the sofa, and wrapped me in a furry nket with a mug of hot cocoa stuffed in my hands.


    I felt at home. I finally felt safe.


    I don''t know how long I had cried, but when I finally calmed down, I found them both still sitting by my side, their eyes red, too. Have they been crying too?


    "I''m sorry..." I want to bury myself in the nket out of embarrassment," I 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 around me.


    "There might be some ground 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?" I nce at her in confusion, and she looks away with a bashful look, "Mentor for what-OMG Lilith! You got into thew firm?!" I nce at Aurora, and she nods with a proud smile.


    Lilith''s whole face turns scarlet red: Til tell you about itter. 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 orwyers. It grows the customers that doctors andwyers like the least the ones who are in biggest need of their service, and the ones least likely to be able to afford those


    services.


    "But hearing about that makes me feel better!" I exim, 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 relievedugh.


    "Ahem," A fourth voice suddenly raised, "I think it might actually be her


    hormones..."


    Ohh... Yeah, that makes sense.


    Wait?!


    I 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?!" I blink in shock.


    "See?!" Aurora jumps up at my words as if it''s some conditional


    reflection, walking toward Adrian with a cold face, "I told you you should leave. She doesn''t need you!"


    Oops.


    "Hmm-" I murmur after Aurora as she charges over like a fierce warrior.

    "I just want to help, nothing more!" Turning to me for help, Adrian puts. on a pitiful look, but he is not hiding his foxy smirk in his eyes.


    I haven''t figured out what made Aurora dislike him so much, and he is already summoning me for my wingman mission?!


    "Uhh-Aurora!" I take the risk of being thrown out by Aurora WITH Adrian, "Please, can he stay? He did save my life from Liam Ryan..."


    Also, I sort of promised your hand to him, so...


    "Really?" Aurora frowns with disbelief, but seeing my genuine quick nods she cocks her eyebrow: "Really?!"


    Then her eyes thatnd on Adrian turns bashful: "Hmm..."


    Adrian the fox grins at her. I find that cute, but I 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, ncing at me with a intive 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.


    I roll my eyes and clear my throat. Does he not see that Aurora is about to burst into me??? The two instantly look away from each other. Adrian sits down again with a satisfied smile, and Aurora escapes back to my side. "Hmm..." Lilith looks bewildered. Lilith is totally out of the situation. I


    need to catch her upter.


    "So," With a desperate attempt to avert the topic, Auroraes back to me, "Let us in on your revenge n."
