Chapter 194 It Is Like a Jail
The next morning. Aurora woke up and felt that last night, she had a better sleep than she had imagined she did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt a rare sense of stability.
But when she opened her eyes and saw the handsome face in front of her, her beautiful eyes widened. She thought, why was I lying in Zac’s bed? I was too tired last night and fell asleep, and then I climbed up the bed by myself?
Aurora looked down and found that it was not her wrist that was being held by Zac, but his shirt was tightly clutched by her! At that moment, Aurora’s entire body trembled. As long as she didn’t say anything, no one would know!
Aurora frowned and looked at Zac on the bed. She reached out and pushed him, but he did not react. “Is he still not awake? Should Task Dalwin…” She muttered and entered the bathroom in slippers.
Zac’s eyes slowly opened. He stared at the closed door of the bathroom and heard the sound of water coming from inside.
He didn’t hide his relaxed expression. But before Aurora came out, he closed his eyes once again. Aurora did not care about Zac and walked directly to the door, intending to open the door and go out. But no matter how hard she turned the door handle, she couldn’t open the door. It was strange.
“It can’t be broken, right?”
Aurora tried several more times, but the result was the same. She glanced at Zac who was still asleep on the bed. Then she slammed the door and shouted, “Alma, are you there? Why can’t this door open?”
After a long while, Alma’s footsteps came from outside. “What’s wrong, Ms. Bennet?” “Is this door broken? Why can’t I open it?” Aurora secretly cursed and muttered, “He is so rich, but how can his door be of such a low quality?”
“Ms. Bennet, don’t worry. This happens to the door at home occasionally. I’ll find someone to fix it now.” Alma’s voice was anxious. “When can it be fixed?”
“It … I am not sure. I’ll go now,” Alma said, and her voice gradually went away. Aurora stood there and sighed. She turned around and saw Zac who was still unconscious on the bed. For a moment, her brows furrowed.
That was to say, before the lock was fixed, she had to stay in this room alone with Zac? She would rather Henry hit her head right now with a wine bottle. More than ten minutes later, there was still no movement outside.
“Alma, is the person who fixes the door here?” Aurora patted the door again. But no one knew where Alma went, and she did not respond. However, when Aurora shouted, there was a noise coming from the bed. “It’s noisy.”
Zac glanced at Aurora coldly, his Adam’s apple moving. “I’m not your servant,” Aurora said indifferently. “Why did I lie here?” Zac narrowed his eyes.
Aurora’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that she was going to be blackmailed. She made up her mind and said, “It wasn’t me who asked you to save me. The person who beat you was Henry. If you are unhappy, you should find him.” Although her words sounded a little heartless, it was the truth.
She wouldn’t change her opinion and attitude toward Zac just because he had saved her. As soon as Aurora finished speaking, the coldness in Zac’s eyes became stronger. He knew that she had always been ungrateful.
“Then how about my suit and shirt?” He raised his eyebrows slightly and showed some anger. Aurora pursed her lips. “The suit must be safe. As for the shirt, you should also…” She was racking her brains to find an excuse.
Zac struggled to get up by supporting himself with his arm, but because of his wound, his movements were very slow. “Come here.” Aurora pursed her lips and looked at the door.
She complained in her heart, this damn door! Why is it broken at this time!
Zac looked up at her, his gaze deep and unreadable. Aurora had no choice but to walk over and half- squat in front of him, “Hold my arm.”
She only thought of herself as an emotionless wood, and it was fine if she was a walking stick. Unexpectedly, Zac directly wrapped Aurora’s shoulder with his uninjured arm and pulled her into his arms.
“You!” Aurora gritted her teeth and was about to curse. But as she looked up, she caught a glimpse of the wound on his forehead and his struggling expression.
“Forget it.” She didn’t want to owe him. Zac titled his head and said coldly, “Go to the bathroom. I need to go to the bathroom.”
“You don’t have to repeat it.” Aurora struggled to support him. For the first time, she realized that she was so strengthless.
She didn’t know that Zae had deliberately shifted his weight to her until he reached the bathroom door. Then, he used his other hand to support himself.
“Wait for me at the door.” Aurora was speechless. After the bathroom door was closed, she immediately ran to the room door. She knocked loudly and shouted, “Alma, Alma!”
She shouted many times, but Alma did not answer. Aurora began to feel that something was wrong. Then she shouted more loudly, Alma, Zac said that he was hungry. A few minutes later, Alma came over. “I was cleaning up the garden outside. I just heard that you are hungry, right?”
Aurora nodded. “Yes, he’s hungry. He’s so hungry that he’s dizzy and his face is pale. Hurry up and find someone to open the door.” But Alma’s words destroyed Aurora’s expectations.
“Well, I’ll hang some food for you from the window upstairs. The repairman has gone far away, and he can’t come back for a while.” Alma comforted Aurora, “Don’t worry. I’ve made soup for you. You and Mr. Buchanna can have some. I’ll go get it now.” Aurora pounded the door weakly. She did not want to have soup right now, and she just wanted to get out of here.
Then she heard footsteps behind her. She looked back, only to see Zac was staring at her gloomily. His gaze made her feel very uncomfortable. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurora didn’t intend to admit defeat. She also stared at him. “What are you looking at? Thanks to you, I can’t leave now.” Even the food had to be sent in through the window. What was the difference between the room and a jail?
Zac leaned against the wall and said indifferently, “I’m also trapped here.” Aurora frowned and could only turn her anger into appetite. After picking up the food from the window, she ignored Zac and began eating.
“Is it delicious?” Zac stared at her coldly.
“Yes. Alma has always been good at cooking.” Aurora ate a braised chicken leg, smacked her lips, and then looked at the meat on the other plate. “In your current state, you should have light meals. But it’s not good to waste food.
So, I’ll help you.” As she spoke, she picked up the meat on the plate. After a while, there was nothing left on the table. Zac rubbed his forehead helplessly. “How many days has it been since you last ate?” Aurora didn’t answer him.
In the end, Zac only had some soup because the other delicious food was all eaten by Aurora. He thought through it later that she probably wanted to force him out in this way.
