Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: She Would Rather It Be Her...

Aurelia Shaw suddenly stood up from the chair, due to the excessive force, she felt dizzy and almost fainted, fortunately, Mason Nightshade caught her, giving her a reproachful glare.

Aurelia Shaw had no time to care about Mason’s reprimand, she quickly ran over. Kai Nightshade lay motionless, his face pale without a hint of color, looking haggard. Aurelia felt a weight lift from her heart, thinking: It’s fine, everything’s fine... Tears nearly flowed down.

Mason supported Aurelia by the waist and asked the doctor: "What is the result of the surgery? Are there any potential complications? How long until he wakes up?" His tone was calm, but his series of questions revealed his inner anxiety and concern.

The doctor was initially taken aback, then immediately replied: "Don’t worry, Young Master Nightshade, the patient is out of danger. Due to the anesthesia, he won’t wake up for a few hours, but afterward, it’s important to ensure he rests quietly and avoids any emotional disturbances."

Mason nodded, instructing Gustavo Yates to follow the doctor to get the medication. Seeing Aurelia’s shaky posture, he promptly pulled her into his arms, scolding: "What did you promise me before coming here?" Seeing her lower her eyes without speaking, her rims red, Mason’s heart tightened, and he sighed helplessly, patting her back reassuringly.

"It’s okay, grandpa will be okay, the doctor has already said that grandpa is out of life-threatening danger. As long as he rests peacefully and stays under observation for a while, don’t worry, everything is different now, what happened before, won’t happen again."

Before? Sophie Nye slightly furrowed her brow, looking suspiciously at Mason, then at Aurelia. Something similar happened before? But ever since Aurelia married into the Nightshade Family, aside from the time she was divorcing Mason, the old man never fell ill. Was she feeling guilty about calculating against Mason and almost causing the family’s bankruptcy, triggering the old man’s illness? Ugh! Indeed, this harbinger of disaster cannot be kept.

...

In the hospital room, Aurelia held onto Kai Nightshade’s hand, the tree-branch-like gnarled old hand starkly contrasting the tender and slender fingers, lacking the warmth in her memory, cold as if it might disappear at any moment.

Her five fingers involuntarily tightened, Aurelia lowered her eyes, under her long and dense eyelashes, liquid silently rolled down without leaving a trace on her fair face, as if it was just an illusion.

"Grandpa..." Aurelia muttered softly, "You absolutely cannot be in trouble." Any mistake is my fault; if there’s retribution, bring it on me. If heaven cannot bear my revenge, target me. I’ve gone through it once, I’m not afraid of a second time.

But, don’t let retribution fall on grandpa.

The only one in the Nightshade Family who was truly good to her, protected her, and cherished her, no matter how Eleanor Spencer and her group framed her or poured dirt on her. Grandpa never doubted her.

Mason was the one who protected her in her toughest times, and in the previous life of guilt... So she would rather all revenge fall on her than for grandpa to have any trouble.

The nurse came in to change the medication and couldn’t help but glance at Aurelia. Seeing Aurelia’s haggard and fragile look, thinking she is truly worried about this elder, she couldn’t hold back and offered some words of comfort: "Don’t worry too much, the surgery was very successful, and the patient is no longer in life-threatening danger."

Aurelia raised her head, glanced at the nurse, and a faint smile lifted her lips.

Why was it that seeing such a smile, any sadness seemed to be smoothed over, and any worries could disappear? The nurse couldn’t help but offer more comforting words, thinking Aurelia was unlike how she was portrayed online as arrogant and cold. She was, on the contrary, very approachable, indeed, you can’t trust what you read online.
