Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System
Chapter 82: Threat

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Threat

’Aurora...I am sorry.’ Adriana silently said as she stared at Aurora.

The feeling of losing the only person who understands you the most is heart-wrenching.

What Adriana felt about herself wasn’t just hatred but also loathing.

She always screamed in her heart that no one understood her, but it was only today that she realized she already had such a person.

Theodore, Adam, and Lucas didn’t have the courage to open the letter.

Seeing Adriana and Olivia’s response, they were afraid that they would read something they didn’t want to.

Men are emotionally strong than women? False. They feel as much as women do, only they choose to suppress or not show their emotions.

The doctor, seeing how broken the family was, decided to intervene and said,

"She just fell into a coma. It’s not like she would never wake up."

But his words felt hollow. No one reacted.

Mary was still clutching Aurora’s hand, her body trembling as tears streamed down her face.

"She will wake up, right? She has to wake up!" Her voice cracked, filled with desperation.

The doctor sighed.

"We will do everything we can to monitor her condition."

Adriana wiped her tears, her expression darkening.

"And what does that mean? You can’t do anything, can you?"

He hesitated.

"It’s hard to say. A coma’s duration is unpredictable."

Lucas clenched his fists.

His heart felt heavy, a suffocating pressure weighing him down.

He had been the protective older brother, yet here he was, powerless.

He wanted to scream, to demand that Aurora wake up, but his voice was lost in his throat.

Adam, usually composed, looked just as shaken. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to collect his thoughts.

"This isn’t fair." His voice was barely above a whisper.

When he felt that finally everything was going in the right direction, everything started to fall apart.

Olivia had stopped crying, but her eyes were red and swollen.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stand straighter.

"We can’t just sit here. We need to do something."

Mary turned to her with tearful eyes. "What can we do?"

"Stay strong," Olivia said firmly.

"For Aurora. She told us she’d wake up. We need to believe in that."

The words carried weight, but they didn’t ease the pain in anyone’s chest.

........

Aurora heard everything around her, and her heart ached.

She wanted to wake up and hug her mother and tell her that she didn’t hold a grudge at all, but she couldn’t move at all.

All she could see was darkness...endless darkness.

As if she had fallen in a dark sea with no end. She could only hear the desperate and blurry voices of her family members.

She felt a little relieved when Olivia asked everyone to stay strong.

Just then, Olivia’s voice sounded again,

"Aurora had told me that she will go into a coma for only 3 years! After three years, she will wake up."

There was silence for a long while before the doctor’s voice sounded,

"Medically speaking, predicting the exact duration of a coma is nearly impossible," he admitted. ’

"But if Aurora herself had such an intuition, then perhaps we can hold onto hope."

Mary clutched Aurora’s hand even tighter, fresh tears brimming in her eyes.

"Three years..." she whispered. "I will wait. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you, my child."

"If she is truly going to be in a coma for the next 3 years, then it’s better to buy a ventilator."

Adriana exhaled deeply and looked around at her siblings.

"We should prepare for the long haul. Aurora wouldn’t want us to fall apart. We need to be strong for her."

Lucas nodded, his jaw clenched. "We’ll take shifts. She won’t ever be alone."

Theodore, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. His voice was hoarse.

"I’ll handle the hospital arrangements. Whatever she needs, she’ll get it."

Adam swallowed hard, his usually composed demeanor cracking.

"She trusted us enough to tell us she’d wake up in three years. We owe it to her to trust her too."

The doctor took a step forward.

"For now, we will keep monitoring her vitals. If there are any changes, you will be informed immediately. But I must warn you, some patients experience complications—"

"She won’t." Olivia’s voice was steady, resolute. "Aurora will come back to us."

A silence fell over the room.

Meanwhile, in the depths of her unconsciousness, Aurora felt the warmth of her family’s voices.

Though she was trapped in darkness, a small ember of hope flickered within her.

She wasn’t alone.

She would return.

Hours passed, and Aurora occasionally heard her parents and siblings asking her to respond, but they eventually stopped and started to console her.

Time is a very cruel thing.

When Aurora wished it to slow down, it went by pretty fast, and now...now it seemed to be moving very slowly.

With nothing to do, Aurora hoped her family members would spend more time with her.

Luckily for her, Olivia and Adriana remembered everything she had said.

Each day, all the family members would take turns to be by her side.

At first, they still hoped that Aurora would wake up, but eventually, they accepted her condition and started to act strong in front of her.

For the first week, Olivia cheerfully shared about her day.

She shared how Emily had asked to make Aurora her goddaughter and said that she would pay all of Aurora’s medical expenses.

"Mom and Dad disagreed at first. After all, Emily is a stranger who had met us by chance. And even though she is rich, it has nothing to do with us.

So taking her money would seem inappropriate."

Olivia then chuckled as if she remembered something very funny and said,

"But then Emily threatened to never take back the assets she had put under Adam and Mary’s name. You should have seen father and mother’s faces. They were so pale and frightened that they quickly accepted Emily’s proposal."
