Chapter 607

Grace quickly turned to Arnold. “Arnold, go grab those strawberries from the kitchen for Megan.”

“Of course.” With a nod, Arnold headed off to rinse the fruit.

Megan sat down beside Grace, her expression full of concern. “Madam Grace, how’s Aurora doing now?”

“I visited her once at the hospital, but she still hadn’t woken up. Has anything changed since then?”

Deep down, Megan already knew the answer. If Aurora had regained consciousness, she would’ve reached out right away. But after all this time, Megan’s phone had remained silent. That alone said it all–there was no need for further explanation.

At her question, Grace’s face visibly tensed with sorrow. Seeing her reaction, Megan felt her heart sink. What was going on? Why did Grace look so heartbroken? Had something serious happened to Aurora that she hadn’t been told? The thought filled Megan with guilt. She felt like a terrible friend. After everything, she still didn’t know what was happening with Aurora.

Sensing her distress, Grace finally opened up. “Aurora’s overseas now. I don’t know much beyond that.”

Megan sat up straight, startled. “Madam Grace, why didn’t you tell me something this important earlier?” Her voice was thick with worry.

After all, the doctors here had strongly advised against moving Aurora or transferring her to another hospital, yet Lucas insisted on it anyway. What if something went wrong later? Megan couldn’t understand his reckless decision. That wasn’t like her cousin at all. He’d always seemed so careful and devoted when it came to Aurora. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t believe he would make such a rash, thoughtless choice.

But Grace was firm. “That’s what happened. He hasn’t called me since, so I really don’t know what’s going on over there. I mean, she’s my daughter. How could I not be worried?”

Megan could see the concern etched on Grace’s face, and her own anxiety deepened. Aurora wasn’t just any friend; she was her only childhood best friend. They’d grown up together, inseparable since they were kids. Now that Aurora was in such a condition, how could she possibly stay put?

“Madam Grace, don’t worry. What happens to Aurora matters to me too. I’ll head overseas first thing tomorrow to see her.”

Grace’s eyes lit up in surprise. She looked at Megan, stunned. “Megan… are you serious?”

“Of course I am!” Meeting her gaze, Megan felt a rush of pride swell in her chest. She wasn’t a child anymore. She could step up and take responsibility now. She patted her chest with resolve. “Don’t worry, Madam Grace. I’ll find her. We grew up together. Of course I’m worried. Once I see her, I’ll finally be able to breathe easy.”

Grace, moved to tears, gently patted Megan’s hand, her eyes glistening. “You’re a good girl. Thank you, sweetheart.”

“No need to thank me!” With that, Megan stood up, ready to leave and start packing immediately.
