Chapter 97: The Response To Love
After two days, Harvey was able to get out of bed and walk. However, he is still quite weak.
He decided to authorize Bonita to handle all the work at the corporation on his behalf because he needed time to recuperate to continue searching for Maris’ whereabouts.
After putting on elegant clothes, he returned to the laboratory and called Aurora to wake up.
These past few days, she’s always been by his side and hasn’t slept. By this afternoon, her body was exhausted and she fell asleep without realizing it.
– Harvey. She rubbed her eyes and quickly stood up.
– Uh. I’ll go home, please lock the gate. He smiled gently and nodded slightly.
– You are not well yet. Why don’t you stay? She grabbed his hand, her face showing concern.
– I need to go to the corporation to complete some work.
Aurora bowed her head for a few seconds then nodded slightly. She knew that if he wasn’t present at the corporation for just one day, the documents that needed his approval would pile up like a mountain.
The incident happened so suddenly that he didn’t have time to authorize anyone. Until yesterday, when Bonita came to visit, he was still unconscious and had a high fever.
– Aurora. Harvey grabbed Aurora’s arm as soon as she passed him.
When he was still lying in the hospital bed, she was the one who touched him, changed his bandages, and applied medicine, and she only felt that he was pitiful. But right now, when he took the initiative to touch her, her heart ached and fluttered.
– Do you want to go on a date with me? I mean… will you agree to be my girlfriend?
The suggestion from the handsome guy made Aurora motionless for a long time. She’s hearing wrong, right? Surely she heard wrong or he said it wrong.
These are not words Harvey would say. Over the years, she has continuously confessed her love and been continuously rejected by him, why did he suddenly change his mind and ask her to be his lover?
– If it’s because of blood drops…
– I like you, Aurora, I love you.
Her heart almost exploded when she heard the man she loved say that he loved her. This is the result that she always wished and craved.
However, why at this moment, when she had achieved her wish, she did not dare to accept it, did not dare to rush into his arms, did not dare to jump up and down.
She didn’t want him to come to her just because he had to love someone. She doesn’t want this love to come from gratitude and wanting to repay her for saving his life.
She wants a love where even if people don’t receive anything, they still love each other.
– Harvey, you told me we couldn’t. Why? She turned her head and looked at him with teary eyes.
– I… I can’t control my heart anymore. Aurora, I want to be selfish this time, I want to love you, date you, take care of you, and do the things couples usually do with you. I’ve liked you for a long time.
Seeing her just staring at him without saying anything in response, his heart skipped a few beats.
That’s right, even if she and he are together, there are limits that both of them must keep and cannot cross. He didn’t want to create a vampire baby and maybe she didn’t either.
Maybe at first, she didn’t think much and was blind in love, so she tried to pursue him, but now, when he accepted and responded to this feeling, she suddenly realized the dark corner, right?
– Sorry, I shouldn’t suggest this to you. You’ll have to suffer because… we can’t make another copy of me.
After saying that, Harvey quickly let go of Aurora’s arm and walked away. He hated himself for letting his heart win over his reason.
Is there any woman who doesn’t want to give birth to lovely children and take care of them growing up?
He also longed to have children, so how could he make her bury those simple wishes?
He’s alone, he can’t be completely happy and now he wants her to suffer the same fate as him?
Aurora quickly ran after him and wrapped her arms around him, burying her tear-soaked face into his warm back.
She had waited for him for more than half a lifetime to hear him speak his mind, so there was no way she would let him go.
– I am not disadvantaged. I just need you. We cannot ask for too much.
– Aurora…
– I agree, I agree to be your girlfriend. We will date, get to know each other, and live together until the day I can no longer breathe.
She quickly wiped her wet face and ran out in front of him. Slender hands gently raised, touching the handsome face that even in her dreams, she wanted to own.
Finally, when she was almost forty years old, she was also able to pick the starlight named Harvey.
– Life is not long, Harvey, besides you, I will not be with any other man.
The sincere confession from the girl erased all worries about the barriers in Harvey’s heart. He took her hand and bent down, gently placing a sweet, burning kiss on her lips.
Two thousand years have passed, it’s not that he doesn’t have feelings for any girls, but perhaps the feelings he has for them are not strong enough for him to break the wall of rules he created.
The warmth, scent, and softness of the man’s lips made Aurora fall into the passion of love. She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded enthusiastically.
She didn’t want this kiss to end, she wanted it to last to make up for all the years of desperate waiting.
– I’ll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon. We will go out to dinner and go for a walk together. We will go on a date. Harvey said in a gasp as soon as he let go of her lips.
– Yes, I’ll wait for you. She nodded and snuggled into his arms.
Happiness came so suddenly that she felt like she was dreaming as if she had waited a thousand years to receive a response from him.
When she felt his kiss touch the top of her head, she hugged him tighter.
If they were both unfortunate that day and died, she would never know that Harvey had loved her and loved her for a long time.
– Okay, Bonita has arrived, I have to go.
Harvey kissed Aurora hard on the forehead again then quickly walked towards the gate. He is not much better than her. He was floating on a cloud of happiness, feeling much younger and it seemed like the wounds on his body were recovering quickly.
When he crossed the threshold, he looked back and smiled. Aurora shyly connected her hands to form a heart and gave it to him.
Waiting for him to get in the car, she locked the gate and hopped back in.
Seeing the police patrolling nearby, Harvey felt extremely reassured.
Michael said he would not withdraw the police officers until there was an order to detain William. He wants to protect everyone that Samson loves and also wants to protect the people of this country.
– The following days will be difficult for you. Harvey picked Ricky up, put the boy on his lap, and said.
– I’m very happy to be able to shoulder the work with you. Bonita shook her head and replied.
– Have the documents been completed yet? Is Ricky my son yet? He stroked the boy’s chin and asked.
– Oh, I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. It’s done.
Harvey held the boy in his arms and caressed his tiny back. This will be his consolation, after so many years, he can call a baby his own. He will give Ricky a full life, the boy will enjoy the best things.
Returning to the apartment, Bonita helped Harvey bring the documents to his apartment and processed them together.
Ricky moved from holding his mother’s neck to resting his head on his foster father’s leg, then crawled into a corner to sleep.
Both of them stayed up until two o’clock in the morning and when the stack of documents was almost all approved, they lay down on the sofa and slept until morning.
Harvey didn’t even have time to look at his phone and he didn’t know Aurora texted him.
It wasn’t until he sent Bonita down to the basement parking lot and came back up that he picked up the phone and saw her text message.
– Don’t be angry with me. Yesterday I stayed up late working and then fell asleep without touching my phone. He spoke as soon as he heard her voice.
– Who wants to be angry with you?
– I’ll come to your house now. I tried to finish my work so I could be with you more, little girl.
The doctor’s cheeks turned red because she was too embarrassed. He called her little girl? Doesn’t he know she’s almost forty years old?
To be honest, she wasn’t angry with him at all. She loves him dearly and doesn’t want to have any negative feelings towards him.
While the two lovers who had just escaped death were immersed in the passion of love, William and Henry were extremely disappointed because the hunters not only failed to catch the vampire but were also suspected by the police of being related to a criminal gang.
Now Peter’s pride was hurt and he decided to withdraw and no longer cooperate with the police.
– He’s just angry at the police, but he still wants to catch vampires. Secretly contact him, give him some money, and tell him to stay here. Tell him that there will be information about the vampire’s whereabouts soon. William extinguished his cigarette and said.
– Yes. As for Aurora, there’s no way to approach her. The police are always loitering in front of her house. I heard it’s because they suspect she has something to do with vampires.
As soon as Henry finished speaking, his phone rang. One of the guests attending Anatole’s party secretly took a photo of Lucasta and Samson and sent it to Henry, asking if Henry knew the daughter of the president of Workday, and asking Henry to introduce him to work together.
– Sir, look, Lucasta has transformed into Calantha and has come to Anatole’s party. Henry quickly gave the phone to William.
William’s face became red because he was so angry. If Samson is in France, then who is that vampire?
Apparently, according to confidential reports, Peter and his teammates fought a vampire. Could it be Harvey, the person he always suspected?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
However, what’s giving him a headache right now is why Samson and Lucasta pretended to be from the Workday company to meet Anatole. Could it be that they wanted to get some information from Anatole?
– Lucasta once said she was Calantha’s friend, maybe she got the invitation card from Calantha but how could she and Samson go there? She still doesn’t have identification documents.
– Unless there is intervention from a great force. Henry interjected.
William’s whole body trembled. The force that Henry just mentioned made him think of the police. But there’s no way the police would cooperate with vampires.
Michael knew full well that Samson was a vampire. The street battle between Samson and the police and hunters just happened not long ago, how could he not know?
Thinking back and forth, William took out the phone and called Anatole. But the only response he got was a busy sound.
After a few minutes, he continued to call but it seemed that his phone number had been blacklisted by that person.
