Chapter 16: She Can’t Escape From Him!
"Miss Aurora, you're finally back," Tina greeted her happily, though her smile faded as she noticed how unwell Aurora appeared.
"Aunty..." Aurora managed a slight smile as she took off her flat shoes.
Seeing the fancy shoes made Aurora smile inwardly. She still couldn't believe it: David had bought her all the girly things that young Aurora usually wore. The knee-length black gown barely covers her wound, making her worry that Tina will see.
To avoid Tina noticing her injured leg, she concealed it and casually walked inside.
Tina followed closely behind. "Miss Aurora, where have you been? You look like you haven't been eating for a while! Oh my God, why are your clothes different from before? Are you alright? Did something bad happen to you?"
"Aunty Tina, I'm sorry to worry you, but I assure you that I'm fine..." Aurora replied calmly, trying to comfort her with a smile. However, her efforts fell short.
"No, no, no. You can't lie to me, Miss Aurora. Your face looks pale..." Tina continued to express her concern.
"Really? Perhaps it's simply because I'm very hungry?" Aurora rubbed her belly, stifling a laugh as she saw Tina gasp in shock, her eyes wide open.
"Oh Lord, I know I was right. You haven't been eating for a while! Okay, okay, change first. I will cook your favorite food a lot," Tina said as she grabbed Aurora's bag.
When she felt the bag was damp, Tina paused and looked at Aurora again.
"Huh? Miss, why is your bag so damp? I know it was raining before. Have you been playing in the rain?"
