Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Julian finally relaxed upon hearing that she was safe. "Alright, I'll let Grandpa know. Where are you now? I'll cto pick you up." He once again pressed Aurora for her location.

"I don't know where I am," she replied.

"Then pass the phone to someone nearby. I'll ask them. Little Bunny, do you know how worried I've been these past days? I've nearly turned the ocean upside down looking for you. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters." "Julian, I... I'm still at sea. I just called to let you know I'm fine. The baby is fine too. In a few days, when we dock, I'll go to a hospital for a check-up. So don't worry about us. It's not convenient to talk right now, so I'll hang up first." Aurora hung up as planned, despite the reluctance in her heart. The more she spoke to him, the more unwilling she felt to let go.

"Aurora, don't hang up!" "Julian, I love you and always will." Aurora still ended the call. This was part of her agreement with Mrs. Woolf.

But those last two sentences carried deeper meaning. She knew Julian was resourceful and might be able to trace her location. However, merely knowing her current position wouldn't help, as the ship would soon set sail again. That was why she mentioned going to the hospital in a few days.

From Justin's attitude toward her, she was confident that if she requested to go ashore for a check-up, he wouldn't refuse. She could only hope Julian would find her in time.

Her words-"I will always love you"-were also meant to reassure him that she had not been harmed and that he needn't worry. Julian was smart enough to understand that she was fine, just unable to leave the ship.

"Mrs. Woolf, I didn't tell him where I am," Aurora said softly.

"Good. Now can you give up hope?" "How can I give up on someone I've loved for so long? Even if I'm trapped on this ship for life, my heart will always belong to him. Mrs. Woolf, next twe dock, I want to go to a hospital for a check-up on the baby.

"The last tI fell into the sea, the water was freezing. While I seem fine physically, I'm not sure about the baby's condition. I want to have an ultrasound." "That's not an unreasonable request. There's a hospital nearby. How about I take you there now?" Mrs. Woolf, understanding a mother's concern, couldn't help but sympathize. She had seen how much Aurora cared for her unborn child over the past days.

Aurora glanced toward the port. "Mrs. Woolf, this port looks small. It's probably just a little town. I don't think the medical facilities here are very good.

"I'm not looking down on small towns. I'm just worried the equipment won't be advanced enough to give an accurate check-up. I'd prefer to go to a bigger city." Mrs. Woolf knew Aurora was once a wealthy heiress and that her slight pickiness was understandable. In fact, Aurora had been remarkably easy-going during her ton the ship. Aside from an incident where she angrily knocked over a bowl of egg custard, she usually ate whatever was prepared without complaints.

Mrs. Woolf had also cto understand Aurora's personality. Her request stemmed purely from concern for the baby, which wasn't unreasonable.

"Your request is perfectly normal. The problem is, this is a pirate ship. We can't dock at large ports. It's too dangerous." "I'm sorry for causing trouble," Aurora said, gently touching her flat stomach. "How about this? We leave the ship now and drive to a larger city. Afterward, we can return to the ship. I haven't set foot on land for days. I'd really like to see what it's like." Mrs. Woolf felt a pang of sympathy as she noticed the gloom in Aurora's expression. A once vibrant young woman was now being forcibly confined to a ship. Anyone in her place would be unhappy.

Moreover, Aurora wasn't a pirate. She had been drifting at sea for days with a baby in her belly. It was only natural that she felt uncomfortable.

"Okay." Aurora's obedient demeanor only made her more endearing.

When Justin returned, Aurora was sitting by the window, gazing at the sea. The wind tousled her hair. She sat still, almost like a statue.

"I told you not to let the sea breeze blow on you. You'll catch a cold," Justin said. His transformed appearance stunned everyone onboard.

Aurora turned her head to see a completely different man. He had shaved his scruffy beard, cut his long hair, and now wore a wool coat paired with black casual pants.

His tall frame, once obscured by his unkempt appearance, now revealed a strikingly handsman. He had always had the potential to captivate women, but his disheveled look had overshadowed it.

The last tAurora woke up, his rough appearance had startled her. That moment had prompted Justin to change. As soon as the ship docked, he rushed ashore for a haircut and new clothes.

Seeing Aurora's momentary daze, Justin felt slightly self-conscious. "Does this... not look good?" "It looks great," Aurora replied honestly. She understood Justin had a kind heart, but he was currently consumed by an unhealthy obsession with her. His possessiveness wasn't love.

If she didn't help him see this, he wouldn't let her go. Justin had saved her life, and Aurora didn't want to bechis enemy unless absolutely necessary.

"As long as you like it," Justin said, scratching his head like a shy boy.

"No, the oldwasn't good enough for you. Aurora, I'm sorry. You're too perfect. I can't bear to let you@dm e Even if you hateor blme, I won't let you leave. But I'll do anything else for you," Justin said earnestly. Aurora knew trying to reason with him now was futile, so she didn't waste her breath.

"Justin, let's not talk about this for now. I've already called him to let him know I'm alive and safe, so he doesn't have to worry.

"I'm not in a rush to leave. Did Mrs. Woolf mention that I'd like to go to a hospital for a check-up?" "She did. I'll let you go ashore, but on one condition," Justin said.

"What condition?"

"You can't try to escape. Mrs. Woolf and I will stay with you on land for a few days before returning to the ship.

run If you attempt to run, I swear you'll never set foot off the ship again. I mean it," Justin said, his voice carrying the cold edge of a pirate's resolve. Aurora nodded. "I won't run. I just want to find a good hospital for a proper check-up. And since the weather is warming up, I'd like to buy sclothes." "As long as you don't run, I'll agree to anything. We'll leave as you suggested and reunite with the ship afterward," Justin said.

"Alright." "When we're outside, we'll need to pretend to be a married couple," Justin added. "...Alright." Aurora agreed to everything to secure her chance to leave the ship.
