Chapter 18 Aurelian looked at Celia with eyes full of devotion , taking out the engagement ring from his pocket - the same ring he hadn't been able to give her in his past life . Only when it was slipped onto her ring finger did he truly believe everything was different now . Whatever the reason , he was grateful to heaven for giving him this chance to make amends . Since Celia was still recovering from her illness , Aurelian didn't want her to work outside , and she wasn't eager to interact with many people either . So she used her pen to draw little stories at home . Her stories accidentally went viral on a digital platform , and from then on , she made it her main career , completely abandoning any thoughts of working outside . Since leaving the hospital , she'd been living with Aurelian . The Fairborne family had come to see her twice , both visits ending unpleasantly , and later Aurelian simply blocked them from the door entirely . They hired a housekeeper , and Celia would occasionally visit Aurelian's company to bring him lunch . Those were always the happiest times for the company staff , because seeing his wife would put the boss in a much better mood . Today , after finishing the ending of her latest story , Celia saw she still had time and decided to bring lunch to Aurelian at his company . He'd been extremely busy lately , working overtime for days . By the time he came home each night , Celia was already asleep . She'd often wake up drowsily when he pulled her into his arms after his late return . In the mornings , seeing reminders on her phone to not forget breakfast told her he'd already gone to the office . Come to think of it , they hadn't had a proper meal together in quite some time . Arriving at the company , Celia took the private elevator straight to Aurelian's office . " Mr. Graves is with clients . Let me notify him . " " No need to trouble yourself . I'll find him myself . " After placing the lunch box on the dining table in his office , Celia slowly made her way toward the reception room . The atmosphere in the client room was tense . It was Silas and Raya , whom she hadn't seen in a long while . " Celia is my sister ! What right do you have to stop me from seeing her ?! " Faced with Silas's accusation , Aurelian scoffed . " Sister ? The way you and the Fairborne family have acted shows you've never treated her like a sister . " " I haven't restricted Celia's freedom . She chooses not to see you . " " Impossible ! How could she not want to see us ? We're her beloved family ! " For the first time , Aurelian realized just how shameless Silas could be . " The last few times you met , you forced Celia to accept Raya . Every meeting ended badly , and Celia was upset for two days after seeing you each time . If you really considered her family , you'd send Raya away and properly apologize to Celia ! " Hearing this , tears immediately rolled down Raya's cheeks . " Aurelian , did Celia say something bad about me behind my back ? You weren't like this before . How can you say such things and tell Silas to send me away ?!

" Celia has never said a bad word about you to me - nothing like what you're maliciously assuming . It's you who keeps trying to shift blame onto Celia . What are you trying to accomplish ?! " Aurelian raised his hand , showing his engagement ring . " I've already proposed to Celia . Stop saying things that might make her misunderstand . " " Maybe I was wrong before , but Celia is awake now . I want you to keep your distance from me , and preferably get out of the Fairborne family entirely . If I find out you've done anything to hurt Celia , I'll make you pay ! " These words left Raya frozen in place , not daring to move . Celia pushed open the door and walked in , her gaze sweeping over Silas and Raya before immediately looking away , pretending not to see them . " Did you come to bring me lunch ? " The moment he saw Celia , Aurelian's aggressive demeanor Award Silas and the others instantly melted away , replaced by tenderness . " Yes . Your assistant said you were in the reception room . Am I interrupting ? " Before Aurelian could answer , a harsh voice came from inside the room . " Celia ! Don't you even say hello when you see us ? " Celia paused , then turned to face Silas . " Is there a need to ? " " We're your family . Even if you marry Aurelian someday , we're still your closest relatives . " Instead of responding , Celia lifted her skirt . " This is from the car accident - a scar that goes almost completely through my thigh . Hundreds of stitches . " " I still have blood clots in my head that haven't dissolved . You can feel the scar on the back of my head with your hand . " She listed her scars one by one , while Aurelian stood beside her , his eyes full of heartache . " Are you trying to threaten me with these ? " Hearing Silas's words , Celia's eyes filled with undisguised disappointment . " Silas , I really overestimated you . I'm not saying this to gain sympathy or threaten you . I just want you and the Fairborne family to understand how terribly wrong you've been . " " I've been out of the hospital for over two months . In those two months , you've visited me twice - both times to make me accept Raya . You've never once asked about my injuries or my health . " " Silas , you've all disappointed me so much . I'd rather not have family like you . " Seeing Celia's pain , Aurelian immediately ordered them to be escorted out . Celia nestled in Aurelian's arms . " Aurelian , I'm so tired . " Tender kisses fell on her forehead and cheeks . " Don't think about them anymore . From now on , I'm your only family - family who will never abandon or give up on you . " " Since you don't want to see them anymore , how about we go traveling ? " 23:59 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ?
