My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot-Chapter 216 - 210: Dawn Miles, Do You Know You Were Wrong?
The operating room fell silent. No one dared to move, everyone watching with complicated expressions as the two figures held each other.
Leigh Miles cautiously approached Aurora Sinclair.
’The last time Senior Sister lost control, Master had to use brute force, knocking her out just to get the situation under control. But now, Morgan had managed to calm her down with just a few words. It was unbelievable.’
"Beta Morgan... set my bone," Alvin Morgan suddenly said. Beta Morgan and Leigh Miles rushed forward. They carefully tried to pull Aurora Sinclair away, but she was incredibly strong, clinging tightly to Alvin Morgan’s waist.
"Don’t touch her..." Alvin Morgan said through the pain, cradling her head with one hand.
Beta Morgan frowned, forced to find another solution.
In the end, they were both lifted onto a medical bed together.
Alvin Morgan held Aurora Sinclair with one arm, the usual calm gone from his eyes.
Her body was deathly cold. The wounds covering her had already torn open again, and she was bleeding profusely.
’Hearing about it is nothing compared to the shock of seeing it firsthand.’
’A Super Soldier created by Project A... once they lose control, they become a completely mindless killer...’
"Sir, let me examine you." After setting Alvin Morgan’s fracture, Beta Morgan looked at him with concern.
’Even though Sir always wears special Armor, the brunt of Aurora Sinclair’s Power had struck him when she first lost control.’
"We’ll check it at Sunstone." Alvin Morgan glanced at him and suddenly added, "Beta Morgan, she is Aurora Sinclair..."
Beta Morgan froze. He gave his sir a complicated look before finally nodding.

At that moment, atop Sunstone, a figure shot down from the summit like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, making a beeline for Ronan Warner’s courtyard.
"Warner, get up! The stars are in flux! I fear a great change is upon us..."
But a shoe came flying out of the house. "Change my ass! Piss off and go to sleep—"
Master Aerion gazed at the starry sky, his expression grave. ’Mars lingers near Antares. A truly terrible omen.’
A sense of foreboding washed over him. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
「High in the sky.」
The person in Alvin Morgan’s arms finally moved a finger.
"Aurora..."
Her star-like eyes finally fluttered open, filled with a dazed confusion. Her pupils had returned to their black color. After a moment of looking at him, she said softly, "Morgan... you’re hurt..."
She looked at the splint on Alvin Morgan’s arm, and the memory of hurting him instantly flashed through her mind. A wave of guilt washed over her.
Alvin Morgan coughed lightly. He looked her seriously in the eye, a small smile touching his lips. "As long as you’re okay..."
Aurora Sinclair’s eyes were filled with guilt. In a muffled voice, she said, "Morgan, I couldn’t control myself."
"But you did get it under control..."
Aurora Sinclair noticed their position and her cheeks flushed, but she didn’t have the strength to pull away.
"I’ll get someone..." Seeming to sense her embarrassment, Alvin Morgan pushed himself up, pulling aside the curtain that enclosed them and coughing twice.
Beta Morgan, who was standing guard outside, snapped his eyes open and immediately turned. "Sir..."
He was startled to see that Aurora Sinclair was also awake. "Aurora, you’re awake! Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Senior Sister..." The opposite curtain was pulled aside, and Leigh Miles ran over.
Aurora Sinclair felt her cheeks burn. She buried her face in Alvin Morgan’s chest, not daring to look at Leigh.
"You have no strength left?" Leigh Miles took her wrist and gravely checked her pulse. ’How were her nerves suppressed?’ she wondered. ’This state is just like the exhaustion after an outburst.’
Leigh Miles carefully helped Aurora Sinclair sit up, moving her away from Alvin Morgan, and then began performing acupuncture.
On the other side, Beta Morgan could finally examine Alvin Morgan. As soon as he lifted his shirt, he saw that the Armor his sir always wore underneath had been shattered into pieces.
’This was forged from rare metals! It can withstand a full-power blow from a Basic Martial King!’
"Sir, your meridians are damaged," Beta Morgan said, his voice laced with fury. ’Sir’s talent for Martial Arts was already poor, and now his meridians are damaged. His journey in Martial Arts is probably over for good.’
Hearing this, Aurora Sinclair was overwhelmed with guilt. "Morgan..."
"It’s nothing." Alvin Morgan smiled at Aurora Sinclair, then shot a pointed glance at Beta Morgan.
Beta Morgan immediately lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

The helicopter landed just outside Sunstone Town, where several black cars were already waiting.
It was still a short drive from there to the foot of Sunstone.
By the time the cars reached the foot of Sunstone, Master Aerion had already been waiting there for a long time.
Dressed in his Daoist robes, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding the transcendent aura of a master.
His expression was not its usual amiable self; instead, it was stern, his gaze fixed on one of the cars.
Leigh Miles quickly scrambled out of the car and ran over in tears, tugging at his robes. "Master... please, you have to save Sinclair!"
But Master Aerion didn’t move. His gaze remained fixed on the black car until Dean Morgan emerged, carrying Aurora Sinclair on his back.
In a cold voice, he asked, "Dawn Miles, do you admit your wrongdoing?"
Alvin Morgan’s expression instantly darkened. "She’s injured..."
"Morgan..." Aurora Sinclair called out, and Alvin Morgan fell silent.
Aurora Sinclair looked respectfully at Master Aerion and replied, "Master, I admit my fault."
"And what was your fault?"
"I should not have interfered in the affairs of the Great Families. I should not have kept an outsider by my side. I should not have revealed my junior brother’s identity. I should not have..." Her voice trailed off, and she didn’t dare to continue.
"Should not have what?"
Master Aerion’s gaze swept pointedly over Alvin Morgan.
Aurora Sinclair’s gaze flickered. She lowered her head, her lips moving silently. "Should not have..."
"After your medicinal bath, go to the mountain stream for penitent meditation—" Master Aerion shot her an exasperated glare, then turned and headed up the mountain.

On Sunstone.
Ronan Warner yawned as he looked at the group of injured people at his door. "I’m busy—" he replied grumpily.
"Apothecary Warner, I’ve memorized the entire pharmacopoeia you gave me! I’m begging you, please save Sinclair!"
Ronan Warner was surprised that Leigh Miles had actually memorized the pharmacopoeia. He gave her an indifferent look. "Recite The Mystic Character Chapter."
"I’ll recite it in a minute! Can’t you save her first? Sinclair is dying..."
Ronan Warner glanced at the woman on the stretcher. "Who is she to you? Is she more important than your Senior Sister?"
"No..." Leigh Miles bit her lip. She glanced at Aurora Sinclair and mumbled, "She’s Tiger’s mother."
Aurora Sinclair’s eyes flew wide. "Leigh..."
"Senior Sister, I lied to you. I’ve known for a long time that Tiger isn’t my real brother..." Leigh Miles whispered, her eyes turning red.
She had just been deceiving herself, unwilling to accept the fact that she was an orphan.
Master Aerion glanced at the woman on the stretcher, then at his naive young disciple. Suddenly, he shot his palm out toward the person on the stretcher.
"Master—" Leigh Miles screamed.
His hand stopped an inch from the crown of Indie Lowell’s head. His palm shifted, and two fingers came to rest between her eyebrows.
After a moment, he spoke. "Her meridians are completely destroyed. She’s hanging on by a single thread. It will be extremely difficult to save her."
As soon as Ronan Warner heard this, his eyes lit up with interest. He strolled over with his hands behind his back and took her pulse.
After a moment, his eyes gleamed with a restless excitement. "Bring her inside..."
"The woman’s practically dead. If you take this on and fail to cure her, you’ll ruin Sunstone’s reputation," Master Aerion said, deliberately trying to get a rise out of him.
Ronan Warner glared at him. "Your reverse psychology is useless on me. If I say I’ll take her, I’ll cure her. And since your disciple brought her here, the medical fees can be put on the Radiant Void Sect’s tab."
Master Aerion flew into a rage at his words. "I never agreed to treat her..."
"Take it up with your disciple."
Master Aerion glanced at Leigh Miles, who was shrinking back with her head down. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and stormed back to his own courtyard.
"Master..."
"After this is over, you will join your Senior Sister at the mountain stream."
Leigh Miles’s face turned pale. She lowered her head and quietly assented.
