Aurora's hand trembled with excitement as she clenched it into a fist, trying to contain her happy emotions.
She patiently waited for her father to say something.
"Young madam, I heard from your father-in-law that you have a head injury?" Thomas Moon asked worriedly, glancing at her head.
'What do you expect, Rory? Of course, he didn't hear it!' Aurora shrugs, feeling disappointed.
"It's merely a minor injury, Uncle. The wound has healed; now just the scar remains..." Aurora clarified as they continued to walk towards the house.
Just as Aurora had imagined earlier, she spotted Alex waiting by the back door. From that distance, she could see the concern in his eyes.
"Oh, it looks like the young master is waiting for you..." Thomas remarked, slowing down a bit to walk just behind her.
Aurora smiled at her father and said, "Uncle, thank you for joining me on my stroll. Please take care of your health, Uncle," before picking up her pace toward Alex.
