Chapter 43 After Divorce, I Will Have My Own Life
The surrounding air felt like cooling down fast. Aurora looked at the way he was protecting Nevaeh behind him, feeling like her heart was bleeding. She said, “I ordered it, but I didn’t know she couldn’t eat it.”
She did blame herself a little bit for not being considered for Nevaeh that she couldn’t eat spicy food soon after surgery. That dish was really spicy. But at the same time, She felt also a little strange. Nevaeh was a doctor, so why didn’t she know what she couldn’t eat in her condition?
Sion glanced at her, and said coldly, “Do you think everyone is as healthy as you?”
Aurora froze, she didn’t expect him to say so, “You…”
Sion looked like he didn’t want to hear what she had to say, and without looking at her, he bent down, picked up Nevaeh and strode away.
Aurora stood where she was as if her feet were sealed to the floor. She couldn’t move at all. Pains started in her heart and spread to all her limbs.
Sion took Nevaeh back to his room, put her down carefully on the bed, and poured her a glass of water. Nevaeh’s face was still pale, and she took a sip from the straw. Her hand was still on her stomach and she looked still in pain. Sion looked at her and asked, “Why don’t I take you to the hospital?”
“No need to.” Nevaeh shook her head and said weakly, “It’s useless to go to the hospital in this case. I’ve already taken the medicine, and I’ll be fine after a while.” In her heart, she knew clearly if she ate something spicy, there would be a chance for her stomach problem to relapse, but what she had just now was not reaching that limit.
Sion nodded and didn’t insist any more, “Then you have a good rest, I’ll leave in a bit.”
Nevaeh raised her eyes and looked at him, asking softly, “Where are you going?”
Sion didn’t answer that question. He put the water on the cabinet next to him, “If you need anything, just call me.”
…
After Aurora returned to the room, she sat at the desk with paper and pen. But she didn’t feel like drawing anything. She felt messy and depressed. She didn’t know where Leah went, so even if she wanted to divert her attention by talking to someone, it was not possible. She wondered how Nevaeh was doing now. She couldn’t help being a little worried. Although she didn’t mean to cause her problem, if they had to blame it on someone, it was actually because she ordered food without asking in advance. Seeing Nevaeh in such pain, she felt a little guilty. She didn’t know whether she should call her and ask about it.
Aurora picked up the phone and pressed a few buttons. Then she put it down again. She thought it was probably inappropriate to call at this moment, it would be bad if it disturbed her rest. What’s more, according to Sion’s intention to protect Nevaeh, maybe he would come to seek justice for her after a while.
As she guessed, not long after this, her room’s doorbell rang.
“Why are you here?” The two of them stood either in or out of the door, but both their facial expressions were not very good. Sion went directly around Aurora and ordered her, “Don’t participate in tomorrow’s competition, come back home with me.”
Aurora thought a lot about what he would say, but she didn’t expect that the first thing he said would be to let her quit the competition. She couldn’t react to that for a while, “What? why?”
Sion was silent for a moment, and then he turned around and said, “No reason.”
Hearing his bland tone, Aurora got her temper in an instant. She said firmly, “No. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I can’t give up just because you tell me not to.”
In order to become a qualified fashion designer, Aurora had been working hard, on her graduation project as well as finding an internship. This competition was like a stepping stone for her to enter the design circle. Yet this man just said casually and wanted to make her give up such an opportunity that she worked hard to have. There was no way she would agree.
Sion put one hand in his pocket and suddenly turned his head to look at her. With a hint of sarcasm smile, he said, “I think you are just reluctant to be apart from your senior, right?”
Aurora couldn’t tell what it was like to hear him mention Alex so eccentrically again. They obviously have nothing in between them, so why would Sion always see them as they should be shameful? But this time Aurora didn’t deny it either. She looked into his eyes and said, “Does it have anything to do with you? Sion, have you forgotten that we will divorce soon? As for after the divorce, I will have I have the right to choose to be with anyone I want to, no matter if he is my senior or someone else. But you, have no right to control it.”
Sion looked at her being so seriously as if she had really imagined a wonderful life after divorce and as if she had no nostalgia for this marriage at all. His lacquer-like eyes were getting darker and darker, his expression was extremely displeased. There was forbearance and anger in his eyes, mixed with deep helplessness.
Aurora stopped looking at him, pretended that everything would be easily relaxed, smiled and said, “You too.” She scratched the hem of her clothes with her fingers, “At that time, you and Nevaeh can also be together in a fair manner, and you don’t have to sneak behind everyone.”
Sion frowned, knowing that what she was talking about should be about last night. Aurora thought he was living with Nevaeh. But in a flash, he thought about the intimacy between Aurora and Alex these two days, and the way she protect him before. Sion came to a conclusion, Aurora was not worried that he would misunderstand. If that was the case, why should he care whether Aurora would misunderstand or not? Sion opened his mouth and closed it again.
Seeing that he didn’t have anything to say, Aurora’s anger rose instead of diminishing, “Okay them, it wasn’t my first day to know about the thing between you and Nevaeh.”
Sion looked at her with a gloomy face and suddenly changed the subject, “Did you know that dinner had almost killed her? Stomach patients are very fragile, and if they accidentally eat the wrong food, their lives may even be in danger.”
Aurora shuddered and looked up at Sion. Nevaeh looked really bad when they left the restaurant, “Is… is her problem serious? Her life is in danger? Did you take her to the hospital? How… how is she now?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Seeing her stuttering, Sion said in a cold voice, “She has taken the medicine and is fine now.”
Hearing what he said, Aurora breathed a sigh of relief. If Nevaeh was seriously ill because of that spicy dish, then she would really blame herself.
Sion’s complexion was still not good, and he looked at her with an unclear meaning in his eyes, “Don’t you know that cancer patients will relapse at any time even after the operation, and all previous efforts will be wasted if they were not taken care of. But you actually ordered such a stimulating dish. What are you thinking about?”
Aurora was startled, she didn’t expect him to say such a thing. It was as if she did it on purpose, to make Nevaeh sick. She never really liked Nevaeh, but she didn’t hate her either. She felt a little uncomfortable having her being around because of him. But there was no way she would want her to die. Aurora explained, “Because the waiter recommended the chef-recommend dish, I thought we could have a try…”
Sion felt that these words were meaningless, so he interrupted her aloud, “That’s enough, you don’t need to explain.”
