Chapter 1273
Aurora was sent to the hospital, but unfortunately, she lost the baby.
When she woke up, she received the devastating news.
For her, this was a fatal blow. The child she was carrying had been an extremely important bargaining chip for her, and now, it was gone.
Now that Aurora had miscarried and was in a weak state, she wasn't fit to stay in prison and had to remain in the hospital, guarded by the police 24/7. Her hands were handcuffed to the hospital bed to prevent her from escaping. Days passed, and Aurora resembled a withered flower.
Later, she seemed to go mad, insisting on seeing Theodore, but no one paid attention to her. She kept making a ruckus and even told the police that someone was supporting her from behind-that there was a mastermind. However, she only agreed to reveal this information if she saw Theodore.
Finally, the police contacted Theodore.
At first, Theodore resisted when he heard that Aurora wanted to see him. He refused to meet her under any circumstances until the police informed him that Aurora had claimed there was a mastermind. Reluctantly, Theodore agreed to see her.
He arrived at the hospital, and the room was empty except for the two of them.
Aurora, handcuffed to the bed, was excited when she saw Theodore. She wanted to get up, but with her hands and feet restricted, she could only give up.
"Theo, you're finally here! I've finally seen you," Aurora said, her face pale, her lips bloodless, and her eyes sunken. She looked utterly miserable.
Theodore stood at a distance, unwilling to approach her.
"The police told me there's a mastermind behind this. You said you would only talk once you saw me. Now tell me, who's the mastermind? Who do you want to blame this on?"
Theodore had witnessed Aurora's viciousness, and he thought that maybe her claim of a mastermind was just a lie to get him to meet her. But to be on the safe side, he came anyway. What if there really was a mastermind? "Theo, don't you know? Our child is gone, and you don't even care?" Aurora's voice was filled with emotion.
Theodore, his face cold, stepped forward and said cruelly, "There's nothing I can do. I didn't want that child, either."
Hearing that the child was gone, Theodore felt somewhat relieved.
That child had been a burden to him. The woman carrying his child had killed his grandmother and was trying to kill the love of his life. He couldn't accept it.
"This was your child!" Aurora's emotions were stirred. "How can you say that? This is your flesh and blood! How can you be so cruel?"
"My flesh and blood?" Theodore
suddenly laughed. "Aurora, you went
I
to great lengths to get pregnant with my child Why was that night so coincidental? My loss of control, your appearance... Now that think about it, maybe it was all part of your scheme. Who knows whose child this really was?"
"How can you say that?" Aurora exclaimed, distressed. "You... How can you do this? I've given you everything, and now you're..."
"Shut up!" Theodore shouted angrily. "You killed my grandmother, and now you want to kill Rose and her
baby! What do you want from meet
Aurora, Stop making excuses. It's disgusting. Who's the mastermind? If you don't tell me, I'll leave I'l assume you're just lying
Aurora knew that the situation was extremely dire for her now.
Suppressing her anger, she said, "If I tell you, what's in it for me?"
"You still want something in return?" Theodore gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to control the urge to punch her. "You killed my grandmother, and you still want something? Aurora, you have no shame!"
The situation had already escalated to this point. Whether Aurora had any shame or not didn't matter anymore. She could no longer defend herself.
"I need something to bargain with. If I tell you who the mastermind is, you need to help me get my sentence reduced."
