Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358: Deep Brain Damage

At one o’clock in the deep night, Alaric Wood took out his keys and opened the door to the villa.

It was already so late, he certainly wouldn’t see Aurelia, but after finishing his work, he couldn’t help but want to come over. Even if he couldn’t see her, just being in the same house as her made him feel content.

But when Alaric Wood turned on the light and saw the person on the sofa, he was stunned.

The lights suddenly flashed on, Aurelia Shaw squinted, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and saw Alaric Wood at the door.

"You’re back."

Alaric Wood was taken aback, not daring to believe it, "You... were you waiting for me?"

"Sort of."

Aurelia Shaw took a sip of ice water, trying to wake herself up.

Hadrian Turner had told her things that, if not clarified, made it impossible to sleep well.

She didn’t know Alaric Wood would come, just waiting to see, but unexpectedly she really waited till he came.

Alaric Wood suppressed his rapidly beating heart, then saw the dark circles under her eyes, and felt a pang of heartache, "If you need something, you can directly call Basil. What if I didn’t come back by now?"

"The sofa is about the same as the bed, makes no difference to me." Aurelia Shaw said casually.

But Alaric Wood frowned, a trace of heartache crossed his mind, and he thought: What if I hadn’t come tonight, would she have slept here all night?

Even though he would come by whenever he had a free moment in the evening, just thinking of this possibility made him feel a wave of heartache.

He wanted to give her the best, to let her live a life of luxury, the life of a pampered princess, and couldn’t bear to see her suffer at all.

"Why are you looking for me?" Alaric Wood softened his voice as much as possible.

Aurelia Shaw straightened her expression, her brow furrowed as she sought answers, "I want to know about the name Xiao Du."

Alaric Wood was stunned, looking at her with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Did something happen?"

Aurelia Shaw shook her head, "Didn’t you promise me?"

"Ah, Aurelia, I’ll tell you everything I promised." Alaric Wood sighed helplessly, "Do you still remember the time you were kidnapped in M Nation? In your memory, what happened that time? Let me tell you what really happened.

After you escaped, they performed various experimental researches on me, slicing open my chest and sewing it back, injecting various fresh medications, but I survived them all. At that time, I hoped my vitality wouldn’t be so strong.

Later, I was rescued by my current ’father.’ By chance, I heard the news of you being captured, so I took some people to rescue you, but it took some time.

When we found you, you were in a coma.

I brought you back to my place.

You stayed at my place for a while; you probably don’t remember.

During that kidnapping, you were injured, many memories are blurry, and it’s normal for you to forget about the things between us."

Is it really just that? Aurelia Shaw furrowed her brow slightly.

"Don’t overthink it, go to sleep. Don’t you trust me?" Alaric Wood patted Aurelia Shaw’s head, seeing she only moved back a bit but didn’t avoid him this time, his mouth curved upward in excitement, "I saw the news that ’World’ started broadcasting, congratulations, the ratings are quite good. Go to sleep, you will surely have a lot to handle tomorrow?"

Unable to get anything else from Alaric Wood’s lips, Aurelia Shaw could only give up.

Returning to her room, she habitually turned on the surveillance feed.

Suddenly, the screen switched to unexpectedly reveal a man’s body!

Mason Nightshade probably just finished showering, a towel wrapped around his lower body, his hair black and drenched, water droplets rolling down his firm, muscular physique.

Aurelia Shaw’s face flushed abruptly.

What is going on!
