The rules are set by me." Aurora lifted her head, finally realizing that she had walked straight into a trap. Yet now, she had no choice. If she told Theodore, it would prove that she had been lying to him. She had saved Theodore not by accident, but by deliberate design.
Aurora wiped the tears from her face. "Are you going to hurt Theodore?" "That depends on how cooperative you are. When the game's over, if you listen well, maybe I'll let you both grow old together. After all, I was the one who made you two go from strangers to being acquainted, to being in bed together. My abilities are greater than you think." Yerick's eyes gleamed with confident amusement. Aurora knew she was no match for him, so she could only resign herself and nod.
No matter what happened, she couldn't lose Theodore. So, she had to comply.

"Why would he be in the hospital? Are you saying he's with Rosalie? I don't believe it." Yerick sneered. "Looks like you really won't believe it until you see it." He yanked her off the bed. "Cwith me." Yerick took Aurora to Rosalie's ward. Before Aurora could speak, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Theodore walked out. Aurora was stunned. She immediately hid in the corner with Yerick.
