"That's right. I thought that way too at first," Aurora said coldly. "I hate you so much for what you did. I did want you to rot in prison here, but then I thought about it more carefully. If you go to prison, won't Rosalie become single again? At that point, Theo will have a thousand reasons to get back together with her, and he'll abandon me.

"So, after thinking it through, I decided that you shouldn't go to prison and should stay by Rosalie's side forever. That way, Theodore won't have the chance to reconcile with his ex-wife. I'm actually doing this for my benefit more than yours."

"You don't have to trust me," Aurora said, "but once Theo leaves the hospital, he'll immediately give the evidence to the police and cooperate with the investigation. I'll testify too. Theodore has hired the best lawyer to make sure you rot in prison. If you don't believe me, just wait for the police to come and arrest you."
