The next morning, Aurora woke back up. She was overjoyed to see Bella and incredibly grateful to the young doctor who had saved her life. Bella could see the sparks between them and was sure that, with a little time, the doctor was going to soon find himself falling in love with Aurora. During the surgery he had discovered a small brain tumor, but tests indicated that it was benign, that they had caught it at the perfect time. Aurora did not have cancer. He also told her that the entire bill had been taken care of by a gentleman who wished to remain anonymous. Bella felt uneasy about this news, and when she left Aurora's room to question the nurses she was certain that she saw her intended leaving hospital.  That night, Bella realized that it was time to fulfill her promise.  She told Aurora she would have to return the next day to the country manor.
