Chapter 262
Chapter 262:
“Thank you for saving me,” she said shyly, her eyes dropping as she looked away.
“I… you should be… more careful next time,” I replied, my voice harsh and stammering as I scratched the back of my head. My heart raced as the tension between us grew.
I wanted her to stay longer, but I was angry with her.
“What are you still waiting for? Leave!”

“What was that?” Jasper asked as we made our way to the ward. I took a sharp breath to calm my nerves, trying to prepare myself for what lay ahead.
“Don’t ignore me,” he said, deliberately brushing his shoulder against mine.
“Fuck!” I cursed under my breath, irritated by Jasper’s persistence.
Jasper could be a pain in the ass sometimes.
“Tell me.”
“Tell you what?” I asked in a harsh tone, hissing before picking up my pace.
“Tell me what all that drama was about. That’s unlike you.” I sighed, briefly glancing at him before shaking my head.
“Ignore it. I’m fine now.”
“Really? You could have killed Rosa—”
“But I didn’t. Can we stop talking about this?” I asked sharply, muttering inaudible curses under my breath.
“I’ll stop when you tell me what came over you. I’ve never seen you so furious in all the years I’ve worked with you. Rosa hurting Aurora brought out the Demon in you. I could swear you almost exploded with rage. If I hadn’t been there, she’d be dead.”

I remained silent, avoiding Jasper’s gaze.
“Are you in love with Aurora?” Jasper suddenly asked, sending shockwaves through me.
“What the fuck, Jasper! Why would you even say that?” I hissed, feigning anger.
“Don’t even lie, because I saw you,” he responded calmly, his eyes locked on my face as if studying me. “The way you looked at her.”
“I looked at her like any other person would look at someone who’s injured,” I replied, hardening my voice before rolling my eyes.
“Your eyes glowed with care. You looked at her the way you looked at Ivy.”
I stiffened at his words. Anger coursed through my veins, and my jaw clenched.
“Don’t mention Ivy,” I warned, flashing my teeth at him.
“And if I do? You’ll strangle me the way you did to Rosa?” He dared to look me in the eye.
“Now is not the time nor the place,” I said, taking deep breaths to control my temper.
“I think you should stop hiding your feelings. Everyone knows you love Aurora.”
My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at Jasper in confusion.
“Everyone? Who is everyone?” I mocked, mimicking his voice.
“It’s so obvious. You can’t punish her, you can’t hurt her, you can’t even force her to do things against her will. The list goes on. You get mad whenever someone hurts her, and you’re ready to tear them apart. What else is that called if not love?”
