After a day of complete rest, Aurora visited her aunt to check on her. To her surprise, when she entered the front door code, it was different and didn't work. She knocked apprehensively.
"Auntie? Are you there?"
Her aunt opened the door with a cane in her hand. This alerted her.
"Auntie? What's wrong with you? What are you doing with that cane? Are you having trouble walking or..."
"I lost my sight since the fire. The doctor told me it was temporary, but my vision is getting blurrier and blurrier. I also changed the front door code. Just to be on the safe side. Tyler helped me."
"I understand completely. Oh my god... I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"It's not your fault, darling, I know you protected us." "I came to check on you, but I didn't expect to find you like this."
Aurora took a deep breath before hugging her aunt. What she was thinking right now certainly wasn't going to please her aunt, but she felt like it.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to see Tyler and then I'll come back to spend time with you."
"I know you're busy, so don't worry about me. I'm safe."
"I have no doubt about it."
After a final hug, she got behind the wheel of her car and headed for the Bellmore mansion. As soon as she arrived, she didn't bother to greet the housekeeper and headed straight for her cousin's room, which was once hers.
"Who's bothering us when I'm..."
Aurora deliberately ignored her ex-husband and drove straight toward Charlotte. Charlotte received a monumental slap that knocked her off her feet.
"You!" You really have no respect for your family, if you still have one.
"How dare you!"
"Yes, I dare, just like you who also dared to take your own mother's life."
"May I ask why you showed up at our house with the sole purpose of hitting the woman?"
Charlotte immediately adopted a sad expression, playing the victim.
"She's definitely found the perfect husband for her crazy nature. So naive." She turned back to her cousin and gave her a look full of contempt. "You might think I'm stupid enough to think you had nothing to do with the fire at my aunt's house. Who did you want to kill? Your mother? Sandy? Or maybe... me? But yes, it can only be me. My return bothers you. I'm really sorry for you, but you failed miserably and you hurt your mother." But trust me, this is the last time you'll ever have the chance to touch your mother or even do anything to our family. Because I'm back. And you know what that means, right?
"What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I knew you'd say that. Tsk, Auntie was really unlucky to have you as a daughter."
She turned back and went down the stairs, knowing Jasper was following her. Before crossing the living room, he grabbed her wrist and turned her around.
"What possessed you to slap my wife like that?"
Aurora stared at him for a moment, remembering the times she'd spent with him. And now she was the one he considered his enemy.
"Your wife, huh? For someone who's regained her memory...you wouldn't think so."
"Excuse me?" She took a deep breath before looking back up at him. Losing control of her emotions really wasn't the best reaction, especially since she wasn't at fault for the situation she found herself in. Even if he seemed to believe the opposite.
"Don't mind me, I just came to give my dear cousin a warning."
"About what exactly?"
"About the fire that started in her mother's house, who is my aunt."
"Do you have any legitimate evidence that she's the culprit? Are you aware that if you lie, it would be a serious accusation?"
"You're certainly not going to be the one to teach me the law of this land; you're not the president, as far as I know. Yes, I know what I'm talking about. Now I'm going to go."
She freed herself from his grip and, as he was about to leave, he retorted.
"Aren't you going to apologize to my wife?" She turned around one last time and let out a cold laugh.
"I'd rather die. Goodbye, sir."
A few minutes later, she was at the hospital where she'd been treated and was looking for her aunt's file. Tyler appeared in a white coat, accompanied by an assistant.
"Why are you looking for your aunt's file? The doctor who treated her said she was fine."
"Well, he should review his medical degree, because for a doctor, his work leaves something to be desired."
"What do you mean by that?"
"He's a doctor, but he couldn't diagnose vision loss in a patient? Really?!"
Tyler was puzzled before turning his head toward his An assistant.
"Give me the portfolio of the doctor who was in charge of Mrs. Haywood. Myriam Haywood."
The assistant left for a few seconds before returning, looking worried.
"What's going on?"
"Well... I looked up the doctor's name, and it turns out he doesn't exist in our records. I also asked the nurses for information about the day the patient was seen, and two confirmed that he claimed to be a new doctor on the ward and that you had given him this patient. After that day, we have no further information about him, as if..."
"He disappeared, as if he never existed," Aurora added, running a hand through her hair. "Oh God."
