novelxo Chapter 838
The moment Aurora walked in, everyone's gaze landed on her.
Shock registered on Sydney's face when she saw the familiar-looking face. Wesley looked as shocked as Sydney was. However, they both knew that Aurora merely looked like Rosalie, and wasn't really Rosalie.
Rebecca was taking a nap on the couch.
Theodore walked over, bent forward, and said, "Grandma, Rose is here."
The mention of Rosalie's nickname made Rebecca immediately look up, only to see an achingly familiar face.
Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then a look of doubt flashed past her eyes. She could sense that something was off. Everyone quieted down.
Did Rebecca suddenly become alert?
"Grandma, didn't you ask to see Rose? Look, Rose is here," Theodore spoke up again.
"Oh, Rose. You're all grown up," Rebecca said as she stretched a hand out. "Let me look at you."
Aurora felt a little nervous as she glanced at Theodore. Theodore nodded back at her, and shot her a reassuring look.
Aurora mustered up the courage to go to Rebecca's bedside and sat down. She said sweetly, "Grandma, I'm here to see you." "Oh, this is great! It's really you, Rose."
Rebecca lifted a hand, and caressed her cheek. "You've grown so much since the last time I saw you. I almost can't recognize you."
Aurora smiled. "Perhaps because I've been eating very well recently. Sorry, Grandma, for not coming to visit you for so long."
"You children are all busy with your own lives, it's fine. I feel relieved seeing all of you safe and sound. Oh yes, you're in university now, right?" Aurora nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Great. Theo, come over," Rebecca waved a hand at Theodore.
Theodore walked over. "What's the matter, Grandma?"
Rebecca exclaimed, "What are you doing just standing there? Quick, sit down next to Rose."
Theodore smiled awkwardly, but in order not to expose Aurora, he sat down next to her.
"Theo, I'm getting old and might leave
anytime. I'm leaving Roet
in your good hands. You ke good care of her, alright?".

"Grandma, don't say that. You'll love to a ripe old age," Theodore said, his mood turning morose.
"No matter how old I get to live, I'll eventually leave this world, and certainly before all of you. Promise me, Theo."
Theo nodded. "I promise, Grandma. I'll take good care of her."
"That's good." Rebecca held Aurora's hand and put it on top of Theodore's.
"You two must stay together. I'm looking forward to you two getting married and giving me a grandson or a granddaughter." Rebecca smiled kindly at them, but Theodore didn't dare look her in the eye.
He said perfunctorily, "Grandma, it's still early days. We'll talk about that next time."
"Not at all. Both of you have grown up."
Rebecca looked pained as she put a hand over her forehead. "I'm tired. I need some rest now."
Rebecca was often like this, her urge to do something coming and going so suddenly.
"Mom, head back to your room and rest then Sydney said as she approached Rebecca and

Rebecca headed back to her room under Sydney's lead.
Before they left the room, Rebecca turned back to look at Theodore and Aurora once more.
"You two must stay together and be well, got that?"
Theodore nodded as he reached out to hold Aurora's hand.
"We will."
Aurora's heart raced, feeling as though she was about to cry. She turned to look at Theodore, her heart thumping.
Despite knowing that Theodore was
holding her hand for Grandma's
sake and it was just an act, she
couldn't help but feel a surge Lines
of joy.
