Billionaire's Hidden Legacy

Aurora went forward and hugged their soft little bodies tightly in her arms. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her emotions were almost overwhelming. "Mommy misses you so much..."

"We miss Mommy too!"

The tears of the three little ones flowed out, and they snuggled into their mother's arm, feeling wronged and pitiful.

Aurora's heart was about to break. She couldn't handle all five of them, so she sat down on the ground.

"Let Mommy take a look at you..." After her emotions stabilized a bit, Aurora opened her arms to take a look at the children. She wanted to see if they were okay. A few days had felt like years to her.

Aurora broke into tears of joy and hugged and kissed her children. The scent of milk finally calmed her worried heart after all these days.

"Did you listen to Auntie?" Aurora suddenly remembered to ask.

"We did!" The quintuplets snuggled in their mother's arms, two of them holding onto her neck, and they answered in unison.

Aurora glanced at her friend, hesitated for a moment, and said to the children, "You guys will stay with Auntie for now. Mommy has to work. As soon as work is done, Mommy will come over, okay?"

"No!" The Quintuplets hugged their mother even tighter, afraid she would disappear if they let go.

Aurora couldn't bear it. But she had to bear it.

"I don't want Mommy to leave!"

"Don't go Mommy..." Ava sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes.

Aurora comforted them, "Mommy won't leave. Mommy lives downstairs, and it's very close, but you can't come find Mommy unless Mommy ask you to come."

The Quintuplets didn't say anything, they threw themselves into their mother's arm and clung to her clothes, sobbing.

Before dawn, Aurora stayed with the three children, telling them to listen to their Auntie, and not run around. She also made it clear that they were not allowed to run alone again.

After coaxing the children to sleep, Aurora kissed their chubby little faces one by one, feeling extremely heartbroken.

After kissing them for a while, Aurora reluctantly left the room, looking sad.

"Aurora, ever since you disappeared that day, you've been silent." Mia said, probing into her thoughts.

"I want to leave." Aurora managed to utter a few words.

"Aurora..."

"He flogged me," Aurora whispered as her eyes began welling up in tears.

"What? Just because your dad is owning him, it doesn't give him that right to do such a thing to you." Mia exclaimed angrily.

Aurora nodded her head absentmindedly.

Mia walked up to her and wiped the few traitorous tears that trickled down her cheeks, "Mengying, you can't suffer from his hand anymore, it's not your fault."

Aurora pulled her in for a warm embrace. She and the kids are her only family. She would do anything and everything in her power to make sure she gave them the life they deserve.

"I want to leave Shen City!" Aurora said, looking determined.

"What if he hurt you again?" Mia asked, feeling scared for her friend.

"Don't worry. I'll figure things out. You just take care of the kids for a while, then we'll all leave together." Aurora said, assuring her.

After assuring her friend, Aurora took out a card from her bag and said, "Mia, there's money in this card. Can you use it to buy some diapers and milk powder for the kids? They need them when they sleep." Although she was their biological mother, Aurora still felt embarrassed.

"Why are you giving this to me? I have money to buy diapers and milk powder," Mia refused.

"I'm their mother, and I should be the one paying for these things."

"I'm their Auntie. What's the big deal with Aunties buying things for their children?"

Aurora smiled and left. Before leaving, she left a card behind.

She couldn't possibly use her friend's money.

During her pregnancy, Mia literally helped her with everything. How could she bear to bother her anymore?

Aurora returned to her apartment.

Her phone was still on the coffee table.

She picked it up and saw that there were no messages. She was almost afraid of Maverick finding her.

But Maverick had been quite lately.

It would be best if he never showed up...

It was almost seven o'clock, and the sky outside was still bright. Aurora, who hadn't slept much, was exhausted and leaned in the sofa.

She would leave Shen City secretly in just one week.

But she didn't feel much at ease.

She was worried every second that her child would be discovered...

In the plastic hospital, at six o'clock, Aurora was about to eat her own bread to satisfy her hunger when her phone rang. She looked at the ID and answered, "I'm working overtime."

"So I came to bring you some delicious food."

Aurora walked to the reception room and saw Caleb sitting inside, waiting for her.

She walked over and asked, "Didn't I say you don't have to bring me anything?"

"I just wanted to do something nice for you. Is that not okay?" Caleb saw her standing there stunned, grabbed her delicate wrist, and pulled her over.

Aurora's body stiffened when she was touched, and she sat down in the chair at a loss.

Looking at the food in front of her, she asked, "Why are you so good to me?"

Caleb's eyes were gentle, "I'm good to you. If you accept it, it's that simple. There's no pressure, just like a few years ago when we're still in high school."

Aurora lowered her gaze. She shouldn't be meeting Caleb repeatedly...

"If you don't eat it soon, my kindness will go to waste," Caleb raised his hand and rubbed her head, like a caring older brother.

Aurora ran her fingers through her hair, slightly annoyed. "I'm not a child, why are you patting my head?"

Caleb couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, no more patting. Eat up!"

Watching Aurora eat with her cute expression, he thought to himself that even at twenty-one, she was still like a child in his eyes.

"By the way, how's Mr. Gabriel doing?" Aurora asked, remembering to inquire.

"He founded the plastic surgery hospital, like his own child. He watched it grow and thrive, only to have it forcibly taken away. The worst part is that the other party didn't even show their face, just paid him off with a sum of money. He must be feeling terrible," Caleb explained.

"The other party must be very powerful, who are they?" Aurora asked curiously. Could they be as powerful as Maverick?

If they weren't powerful, the Caleb's family wealth and influence should have been enough to help. Obviously, that wasn't the case.

She hoped someone could suppress Maverick...

"I heard it was the leader of the Eaglecrest Group, so there's nothing I can do to help," Caleb replied.

Aurora's hope was shattered, and her face turned even paler under the fluorescent light.

Maverick? Maverick bought the Xia Plastic Surgery Hospital?

Why him...

Aurora tightly gripped the lunch box, and accidentally overturned it, hitting her hand and causing her to cry out in pain, "Ah!"

Caleb immediately grabbed the mineral water and opened it. With one hand holding Aurora's hand, he poured water on the back of her hand, "Don't move."

The cool water on her hand dispersed the remaining heat. "It's all red," Caleb frowned, occasionally pouring water on her hand.

Aurora felt a little embarrassed when she saw Caleb's nervousness, "I'm fine. The food wasn't that hot anymore."

Caleb looked up and said seriously, "Your hand is burnt, I'll compensate you."

The tense atmosphere was dispelled by Caleb's words, and Aurora couldn't help but laugh, "How will you compensate me? Cut off your hand and give it to me?"

"Are you disgusted?"

"Stop joking around..." Aurora's smile was almost uncontrollable.

A black figure passed by the reception room and paused at the door, exuding a strong sense of oppression with his tall stature.

Through the half-open door, Caleb and Aurora's interaction could be seen, with Aurora's hand still in Caleb's.

The overwhelming aura was too strong, and Caleb sensed an unusual atmosphere. He looked towards the door.

Aurora turned around, and when she saw those eyes that seemed to lack human warmth, she quickly pulled her hand and her feet went weak.

She tightly pressed her body against the edge of the table to avoid falling.

"Maverick?" Caleb was surprised by his appearance.
