Elle sighed with relief, "You're brilliant, dear Aurora! Dr Carroll especially changed his schedule and
took us to all the examinations today. Aurora, you're an angel! Without you, my father couldn't make the
surgery appointment so soon!"
Aurora found it unbelievable and said, "That's... really awesome!"
She was confused, wondering if Sion had added an extra surgery temporarily. But the fact was that
he'd turned her down earlier.
"Are you alone in the hospital now?" Aurora packed her bag on the desk with the phone between her
shoulder and ear, "I'll go stay with you. See you soon."
Aurora took a taxi to the hospital. Elle came out to pick her up.
"Hey, there. How's your father doing?"
"He's fine." Elle looked much more relaxed, "He's quite optimistic."
"But seriously, it scared the shit out of me!" She sighed and continued, "Fortunately, you helped make
the appointment with Sion. Otherwise, I don't know what I should do with it."
"Glad your father is all right."
Aurora couldn't understand why Sion changed his mind since he had taken a stand and refused to
help. She told Elle the truth.
Elle heard it and exclaimed, "Look! He took your words seriously and helped us. Doesn't it mean that
you mean a lot to him?"
Aurora was kind of stunned and said nothing else.
"Anyway, I think, telling from what he did this time, Sion is quite a reliable man. Well, you two are still
married. Why not give it another shot and see if it works ."
Aurora listened and couldn't tell how she was feeling.
Give it another shot. But they'd tried for years! What if she fell for him and couldn't stop loving him if Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
she kept trying?
Two days later, the surgery of Jacob Ford, Elle's father, was a success. He was transferred to the
intensive care unit.
Sion stayed in the hospital during this period. Aurora remembered how indifferent Sion was to her the
other day and didn't feel like calling him again.
In the evening, she brought Elle dinner. She'd bought more servings on purpose, thinking that she
should buy Sion dinner and thank him face to face.
She finished dinner with Elle in the ward and got nervous when was about to see Sion.
When she was walking out of the ward with the lunchbox, she nearly ran into someone.
"Aurora?" Nevaeh looked at her with confusion, "What are you doing here? Are you ill?"
Aurora realized it and shook her head, "Nope. My best friend's father had surgery. I just came over to
keep her company."
"Oh, OK. Take care." Nevaeh said and casually peeked into the ward behind her. On the tag, she saw
the attending doctor was Sion Carroll. She narrowed her eyes but said nothing.
What a coincidence.
Nevaeh still remembered Aurora knew the decoration style of Sion's home very well when they were in
the cafe the other day. And Sion broke his rules to perform an extra surgery for the father of Aurora's
bestie.
What was the relationship between Sion and Aurora?
She couldn't help thinking more.
Aurora sighed with relief and was to leave, but Nevaeh glanced at the lunchbox and added softly, "You
like this restaurant? What a coincidence! Sion told me he was hungry and asked me to get him
something to eat. I was thinking of ordering food from this restaurant."
Hearing it, Aurora held the meal bag more tightly, "Well, you need to catch up. It's late."
She mocked herself for having taken it for granted. Of course, Sion would not need her to bring any
dinner for him. So, it seemed the dustbin was the right place for the dinner she'd bought for Sion.
Aurora returned to the ward after Nevaeh left.
On the first night of the surgery, she wanted to stay and helped Elle.
It was strangely quiet in the hospital, but Aurora didn't feel like sleeping at all. She went down the
hallway and went out to the balcony. Stars scattered around the sky. Breeze touched her face softly.
She felt kind of relaxed.
Suddenly, she thought of something and took out the phone to send a thank-you message to Sion. She
typed it and deleted it over and over again, and didn't send it out in the end.
On the other end of the balcony, Sion saw Aurora enjoying the breeze from afar. He pulled a long face
and complained to himself how she could be such a heartlessly ungrateful woman-he'd done her a big
favour. But she didn't do anything or said a word to thank him in the past two days.
Sion went over to her slowly and said deeply, "Don't you feel cold?"
Aurora was shocked because she didn't notice that someone was else there. She shuddered with fear
and nearly dropped her phone.
Looking back hastily, she found it was Sion, who had come so close to her. Aurora swallowed a little
and lowered her head embarrassedly, "Not really."
"I did you a favour. Don't you think you should thank me?" Sion sounded unhappy and indifferent.
Aurora realized she was still working on the text message. Then she looked up and asked, "How do
you want me to thank you?"
Sion put on a straight face and said, "I haven't had dinner yet."
Saying, he unconsciously covered his stomach with his hand, feeling his stomach pain.
"What? You didn't have dinner?" Aurora frowned surprisingly.
Didn't Nevaeh say she was going to buy him dinner?
How come...
Sion glanced at her coldly and signalled that she should get him dinner right away.
"OK. Wait here! I'll be right back." Aurora turned around and ran back to the ward. Very soon, she
returned to the balcony with a lunchbox, and gave it to Sion, "Here! Your dinner."
Sion asked confusingly, "Are you gonna make me eat the leftovers?"
"For God's sake, no!" Aurora shook her head, "I bought it for you in the first place, but it went cold. I just
microwaved it." Fortunately, she didn't throw it into the dustbin.
"So, this is the thanks I get?" Sion said and began eating elegantly. Meanwhile, he kept glimpsing at
Aurora from time to time, which made her think she was an ungrateful one.
Aurora pouted, wondering how she should thank him appropriately.
She gave it a second thought and suddenly flattered him with a smile, "You're brilliant, Dr Carroll! I
appreciate your help, and I admire you very much! How do you become such a good surgeon? You're
so young!"
Saying it, she burst out laughing. Sion was amused by her and smiled lightly. All at once, things
seemed to work out.
Suddenly, Aurora wanted to know why Sion decided to go to medical school since his father wished he
could take over Carroll Group and he had what it took to be a successful businessman.
Thinking of it, Aurora asked, "What made you decide to be a surgeon?"
Sion looked at her for a while, then turned to look at the starry sky and said slowly, "Someone once told
me that I could save thousands of people's lives with my hands."
He believed it was her wish, so he wanted to make it happen.
