Chapter 428

Aurora paused when she saw who had entered her ward. The woman wore a black shirt, black jeans, and a pair of black Martin boots. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and looked extremely attractive.

The black clothes caused her skin to glow, while her beautiful eyes and thick eyelashes began to merge with the memory of the little girl she once knew.

Cecily Killian! Oh, no. She's now Hera Youngworth.

If it weren't for Catherine, she would not have recognized Hera as her former cousin. But she wasn't dead! She had even managed to hide in Jedburgh for more than half a year!

Aurora couldn't help but tighten her grip on her blankets when she thought about Queenie.

"Dr. Shadow!" Xeno did not expect her to appear in Aurora's ward so soon. His expression was filled with delight as he said, "Could you please take a look at my wife's condition?"

"Alright," Hera answered, but she wasn't looking at him. Instead, her gaze was fixed on Aurora.

"Honey, I'm suddenly craving the crepes from Happylicious. Could you go and buy me a slice?" Aurora said to Xeno after returning to her senses.

"Sure. But are you sure you'll be fine on your own?" Xeno asked.

Aurora urged, "I'll be fine. Just go."

"Alright, but you shouldn't get upset so easily. Dr. Shadow, I'll leave my wife in your hands," Xeno said before leaving.

Then, the two women were left alone in the ward.

Hera walked toward Aurora's bed and glanced at Aurora coldly. Her gaze fell on Aurora's stomach, and she said, "I can help you save your baby."

"What do you want?" Aurora asked in confusion. She did not believe in people helping others without wanting anything in return, and she absolutely did not believe Hera was so kind as to voluntarily save her baby.

Hera smirked. "Ms. Killian, you're so smart and cautious. How did you get deceived by Camille's schemes?

Seeing Hera's meaningful smile, Aurora suddenly had a chilling thought that made her break out in goosebumps. She suspected that she had fallen into Hera's trap.

Hera had refused to expose Camille for her true nature and waited until Aurora was pregnant. Hera had allowed her to feel hopeful and experience the joy of her pregnancy, causing her to consume the drugs Camille had produced.

Once things reached a point of no return, Hera came out and exposed Camille and ruined all the hope she had felt. That was how Hera had managed to ruin Camille!

She had allowed Camille to rise to a point of high fame before throwing her harshly back down to the ground! It was not only that, but she planned the Gaskells' demise as well.

The woman before her was no longer the innocent and energetic girl from before. She was someone who had clawed her way out of hell to exact her revenge.

With that thought in mind, Aurora gulped subconsciously before asking, "W-What do you want?"

Hera looked at the fear in her eyes and turned to look at her instinctive action to protect her stomach. A

cunning glint flashed across Hera's eyes.

"I heard that the Killians had managed to buy a special medication for one's nervous system at the Astral Nova Auction. It's a shame that the special medication would not be suitable for your current situation."

Her voice was calm and impassive as she took out a small bottle from her bag. "This is what you need: Antina pills."

Hearing Hera's words, Aurora fixed her eyes on the small bottle in Hera's hands, unable to look away. "How much do you want?" Aurora asked immediately. She would buy it no matter how much it cost!

Hera noticed that Aurora had taken the bait and pulled a chair over to sit. "If money could buy this bottle, I could have just put it up on the Astral Nova Auction. There'll be plenty of people willing to fight with you for it."

She had previously given the Grandmaster of Astral Nova seven different kinds of special medication. But the Astral Nova Auction had only put three pills on sale. The other four had been bought by the highest bidder that night at 500 million per pill to add to his private collection.

"Then what do you want?" Aurora asked.

She was beginning to suspect that Hera had set up a trap for her a long time ago. Her baby's abnormalities may also be within Hera's plans! That was why she had purposely kept the Antina pill!
