Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 942

Zuko was familiarly navigating his way and ran out of it with Aurelia after a few turns.

"Baby, let's hurry and go back," Aurelia said softly. "Be good! Your mother will be worried otherwise!"

"His mother won't be worried! I'm the one who's waiting anxiously!"

A husky voice echoed. Aurelia halted in her steps and stiffened up with a blush that reached the tips of her ears. She bit her lips and stood frozen against the voice.

Zuko looked at Neil and smiled when the latter gave him an "OK" sign. He let go of Aurelia's hand and took a small ice cream cone from Neil with a skip, enjoying it happily.

Neil asked a maid to take Zuko to Cordelia.

He and Aurelia were the only two people left in the bushes.

Aurelia took a deep breath. The damp summer breeze brushed past her ear like a melodic tune. She could smell the floral and fruity fragrance in the air, and her heart trembled like the birds' chirps. She was still holding the small firefly, which glowed at its tail-it was the small diamond ring that was shining.

Aurelia suddenly felt like crying.

"It's... It's my fault," the voice behind her said again after a short silence.

The prideful award-winning actor lowered his noble head to please her and beg for mercy.

"I know I shouldn't have lied to you, but I just... for a moment, I don't know what got into me. I just wanted to tease you, to see how worried you'd be for me, to... make sure how important I am in your heart! "In fact, Carter didn't put me under general anesthesia during the surgery." Neil scratched his head and chuckled softly. "I was only under local anesthesia, so my mind was still clear. All I could think of then was that if I couldn't get through the surgery, I'd still have no regrets... because the moment I got shot, I had already put the ring on you.

"Aurelia, please don't be mad at me, okay? Heh... just think of me as being foolish. I'm already a grown-up, yet I play tricks like a middle schooler. I'm super childish... is that okay?"

After Neil finished speaking, he cautiously looked at the back of Aurelia's head. Although her chestnut-colored long hair was even more beautiful under the sunlight, he was anxious and had no time to appreciate the beauty.

However, what he did not know was that Aurelia was secretly laughing. He also did not know that she had quietly taken the ring out of the firefly's tail, put it on her middle finger first, and then quietly moved it to her ring finger.

"Um, Aurelia, are you still angry?" Neil tried to play the pity card when his words did not work. "Ouch, ow... This shoulder of mine still hurts a lot!

"Even though I've been discharged from the hospital, I still have to change my dressing every day. The servants at home just can't do the job well. They can't even change the bandages properly, and I'm tortured daily!

"If only someone could help me change my bandages, I might recover faster!

"OW!"

Neil just acted as much as he could, clutching his injured shoulder and squatting on the ground to groan in pain.

"I heard Carter say that even if the bullet is removed, some fragments may still be embedded in the bone. If the injury isn't handled properly, it'll hurt during cloudy and rainy weather... He's so right! I'm feeling the pain now...

"But I'm okay!" Neil "forced" himself up from the ground. "Hah, I'm a man. I can endure it! You don't have to worry about me!"

Aurelia covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face, but she could not help giggling.

"Uncle..." She tried to hold back her laughter, and her voice choked up. "The weather's so good today. It's not cloudy and rainy, but you're still feeling the pain?"
