Chapter 65
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, the TV switched to a different channel.
Aurora did not even look at Maverick’s expression. She muttered, “He’s lying without thinking. When did I ask him to take care of me? How did he know about my recovery?”
As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at Maverick’s expression, afraid he might be upset or jealous.
However, Maverick only looked at her calmly,
He asked, “Do you think he went too far with thi
stir in his heart so subtle that even he might not have noticed it.
“Of course he did! I never ask him to take care of me. Aside from helping me in that bar fight, he hasn’t done anything else. I didn’t ask him to take me to the hospital either, so how could he know anything about my recovery? He’s just making things up!”
Aurora didn’t think there was anything right about Scott’s actions.
Maverick asked again. “You don’t care about his situation?”
Aurora said, “Why should I care?”
After a pause, Aurora added. “You don’t expect me to care, do you?”
She did not say another word, and Maverick’s mood improved a little. As long as Aurora had no feelings for Scott, he had nothing to worry about.
Just as he was about to say something, a sudden phone ring broke the silence,
Both instinctively reached for their phones, but it was Maverick’s that was ringing.
Noticing Aurora’s movement, he didn’t ask any questions and instead answered his call first.
Howard’s voice came through the receiver. “Mr. Parker! Where are you right now? The company’s quarterly review meeting is today. and we’re all waiting for you!”

Chapter 65
“Aurora! Are you okay? Does anything still hurt? Could there be any aftereffect”
The voice was bright, reckless, and full of energy. Aurora didn’t even need to open her eyes to know who it was. She sighed helplessly and replied, Tim line. I’m almost fully recovered now.
However, Maverick did not want her to walk around outside. He insisted it could affect her recovery and refused to let her do anything-
So, she had no choice but to obediently stay in bed, and truth be told, she wasn’t the type of person who minded resting.
Opening her eyes, she found a face looming in front of her, so close that Aurora could clearly see the eyelid strips above her friend’s
eyes.
“Mia, aren’t you not using double eyelid tape anymore?”
Mia suddenly took a step back and covered her eyes, saying, “The cream is all used up, there’s nothing I can do! I have a date today!” Only then did Aurora begin to size up her outfit.
She was wearing an avocado–colored T–shirt and a white chiffon skirt, the perfect attire for an ordinary street–style girl.
If she were to describe it, Aurora would say she was full of energy.
“Who are you going on a date with? I haven’t had the chance to ask you about what happened at the bar last time. How did you end up at Mars Bar! And who was the person who picked you up at the end?”
Aurora had seen it clearly that day. After Mia walked out of Mars Bar, she abandoned her and got into another car. If that hadn’t happened, Aurora wouldn’t have had to go to the hospital alone to check up.
Speaking of this matter, Mia’s eyes started to evade a bit. “It’s nothing, Can’t I go to Mars Bar? That place is full of people of our status, and I wanted to see what it’s like.”
Aurora said, “Yes, you did see a lot, didn’t you? Be honest, who was the person who picked you up in the end, making you ignore your injured best friend!”
If Mia hadn’t escaped at the last minute, she wouldn’t have been photographed and posted online.
They even said she and Scott went there for a secret meeting. It’s really impossible to clear her name now.
“Oh. I’m sorry! I only saw the injury on your hand and thought it was nothing serious. Who knew you’d end up staying in the hospital for so many days? Look, I’m here to see you now! I bring you some delicious food tonight
It was fine when she didn’t mention it, but once she talked about delicious food, Aurora started to feel hungry.
In the morning, she had only eaten a bowl of chicken soup that Maverick had brought, which had already been fully digested.
As for what Mia didn’t want to talk about, Aurora didn’t want to force her, so she eased up and said, “Why wait until tonight to bring me something delicious? I’m hungry now, hurry up!”
