"Yes, what is it?" Alex asked gently.
"Alex, please don't blame Josh for what happened to me. He isn't wrong at all. I'm the one who asked him to stay outside."
She begged, knowing that Alex would certainly punish Josh for not protecting her, regardless of any excuse Josh might offer later.

Aurora was genuinely amazed by how genuine he was with his words, expressing kindness instead of punishment towards Josh.
This was unusual for her; in her memories, she knew Alex never tolerated failure, and those who disobeyed his commands faced punishment.
A spring-like smile slowly spread across her lips as she softly said, "Thank you, Alex… that's very kind of you."
Nevertheless, Alex's following words rendered her speechless.
