Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Pinky Promise, Okay

"Why don’t you crawl in?" Aurelia Shaw sensed something was wrong.

Both of them were running away, but Alaric Wood was still outside.

Her heart started to beat rapidly, and she had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen, but she couldn’t figure out what.

"Only one person can escape through this passage, I’m taking the other passage, we’ll split up and escape, so they can’t catch us." Alaric smiled.

Along the way, they had already sensed that their escape had been discovered.

If they found this place, neither of them would be able to escape.

Only by him diverting this group, they wouldn’t trace here, would Aurelia have the chance to leave this place.

Alaric smiled and patted Aurelia’s head, "Don’t you trust me?"

Aurelia shook her head.

She trusted him.

Here, she was isolated and helpless, scared and unsupported, although Alaric didn’t say many comforting words, he was always protecting her.

"Hurry, or they’ll come, if caught, neither of us can run, after you get out, quickly find your family, remember, don’t trust anyone, first find your family and then talk." Alaric repeatedly warned Aurelia.

Through this time of acquaintance, Alaric understood she was a princess raised in a greenhouse, unaware of the world’s wickedness outside.

She was too kind and too easily trusted people, very easily deceived.

"Hurry up."

"Then what about you?"

Aurelia didn’t know why, but she always felt uneasy, like they would never see him again this time after separating.

Alaric pressed his lips together and smiled, "I know your name, when I get out, I will find you."

"Hook."

"Alright."

With the assurance, Aurelia started crawling inside, after a distance, she looked back, Alaric’s smile appeared in her mind.

Alaric smiled for the first time.

The smile was warm, giving a sense of security, but somehow felt strange.

Following the vent, Aurelia crawled out into a desolate mountain.

The mountain’s temperature was bone-chilling cold, Aurelia’s calves were scratched everywhere, she remembered Alaric’s advice and sought no help from anyone, a night of fleeing, hunger and cold, Aurelia still fainted.

Upon waking, Aurelia found herself in a hospital.

Balthazar Shaw held her in his arms, his face heavy, silently shedding tears.

At that time, she didn’t know what this expression meant, later she learned, it was because her mother had died.

She waited for Alaric for a long time, every day she sat in the yard waiting for the young man to appear, but he never did.

Aurelia fell ill, the fever wouldn’t subside.

After the doctor’s examination, he shook his head and sighed, "The psychological shadow from the kidnapping is too intense, she received certain shocks she couldn’t bear, has she been stimulated recently?"

Balthazar thought for a moment, "Lately she’s been sitting in the yard, even when asked she wouldn’t speak, since she returned, she hasn’t said a word."

"Once she wakes up, I will do a deeper examination for her, don’t stimulate her for now."

...

Once she woke up from that fever, she forgot about the kidnapping.

Balthazar realized this, recalling the doctor’s advice, telling her Isabella Parker died in a car accident.

She believed it.

Seeing the knife scars on Alaric’s body, Aurelia’s heart was stabbed with pain, her head violently ached.

Alaric let her go, to let her escape smoothly, he used himself as bait to divert them.

The Mafia took him back, to force him to reveal her whereabouts, they used him for live experiments.

These scars were all left during that time.
