Seeing the blissful smile on Aurora Sterling's face, Dylan Valerius grew serious. "Is he good to you?"
"Huh?" Aurora Sterling paused, taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, he is."
"That's good." Dylan Valerius nodded as well. "Once I've recovered, I should be going abroad to study very soon."
"Okay. Study hard, and don't worry about other things from now on. Just be yourself," Aurora Sterling said with a smile.
Dylan Valerius didn't reply, simply nodding in earnest as his beautiful eyes gazed deeply at Aurora Sterling.
'You have no idea, do you? We probably won't ever see each other again. I'm just glad you have a man like Damien Valerius to protect you. That way, even if I can never see you again, I can leave here with peace of mind.'
After a long moment, Dylan Valerius finally spoke, his voice soft. "You said it... that we're friends."
