He lifted her up and placed her on his lap, "Even though I don't know what happened between your mother and Balthazar Shaw before, when your mother married Balthazar, she brought a substantial amount of money into the marriage. At that ti, the Shaw Family wasn't as prosperous as it is now, so regardless of whether or not you are the Shaw Family's biological daughter, you have a share in their assets."
He was telling her that she wasn't wrong; she was rely reclaiming what was rightfully hers.
"Moreover, even if your mother was already pregnant with you when she married Balthazar, that's between them. The fact that Balthazar accepted a mother like yours ans he didn't mind these things."
After a pause, Mason Nightshade added, "Don't compare yourself to Jovana Shaw; they're not worthy."
Aurelia Shaw was taken aback.
He had been so perceptive to notice that.
She had been wondering, in her own way, what makes her different from Jovana and the others, what right she had to fight for anything.
She almost misunderstood.
Aurelia raised the corners of her lips, "You're right, they're not worthy."
"No matter when, don't forget, I'm here by your side."
Ah, she always forgets, even though he is clearly right there with her, protecting her, so things she still insists on bearing alone.
For instance, after dinner, she snuck into the study by herself.
If he hadn't noticed, would she have just stayed in the study for a while and then pretended nothing had happened when she ca out?
...
Aurelia fell asleep in his arms.
Mason Nightshade laid her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently rubbed her brow with his fingers.
The first ti he t her, she was so cheerful, as bold as a stroke of domineering sunlight, intrusively, without asking, she shone into his heart, never to be wiped away.
However, the wounds from her past life inevitably left scars on her psyche.
"If possible, I really wish you could forget," Mason Nightshade softly murmured, his dark eyes filled with heartache.
-
The hospital called asking her to co in for her test results, so Aurelia went to the hospital early in the morning.
The results showed that her brain had no issues; the previous headaches and dizziness were likely due to too much work pressure, resulting in temporary symptoms. She needed to rember to rest properly in the future.
Aurelia picked up the dication in the hall and was reading the instructions.
She didn't notice a group of people walking in.
Gustavo Yates looked at her in surprise, "Young Madam?"
Mason Nightshade was talking to soone nearby, but when he heard this, he turned to follow Gustavo Yates' gaze.
Sure enough, he saw Aurelia—wearing a hat, wrapped in a scarf and mask, covering herself up tightly, leaving only a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes exposed.
At that mont, she was so lost in reading sothing she nearly bumped into several people.
Mason Nightshade's anger flared up instantly. He strode over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her in front of him.
Aurelia was reading the dication instructions, and suddenly soone tugged her arm. She thought a fan had recognized her, sending alarm bells ringing in her mind as she contemplated what to do, then she lifted her head to et Mason Nightshade's deep, dark eyes.
"Mason? What are you doing here?"
Mason frowned at her, then glanced at the plastic bag in her hand.
Noticing the dicine inside, his brow furrowed deeply, and he quickly took the paper from her hand for a look.
"You're sick?"
She hadn't even told him about this!
Aurelia rubbed her nose, "Oh, it's just that my head was hurting a bit not long ago, so I had it checked when I ca to see Sister Man."
