Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Hearing this, Aurora lowered her eyes slowly and murmured to herself quietly, “Nevaeh chose to be a surgeon. Maybe that’s why.”

She didn’t know whether Sion didn’t hear her or just didn’t want to answer it. They stared into the night sky quietly and fell silent with each other.

Aurora kept visiting Elle and her father in the hospital almost every day since then. Jacob’s surgery was successful. He’d been transferred to a general ward, but still had to stay longer for further observation.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was Saturday. After breakfast, Aurora took a taxi to the hospital. She went into the ward and said with a smile, “Good morning, Jacob. You look great today.”

Jacob put on a kind smile and said, “Good morning, Aurora. Yeah. Maybe I can leave the hospital very soon. Thanks for coming over and helping us these days. I appreciate it.”

Then he narrowed his eyes and asked, “Aurora, are you about the same age as Elle?”

“Yep.”

They were born in the same year, and she was only three months older than Elle.

Jacob nodded and said, “Good…”

Someone knocked at the door and interrupted him.

Afterwards, Sion came in with two young nurses. He looked as calm and cool as usual and didn’t pay any attention to Aurora. He just took over the ward-round records, which were handed over by a nurse, and began reading them.

By contrast, Aurora was a little timid and dared not look him in the eyes.

Elle looked at them and smiled, “Dr Carroll, when can my father go home?”

Sion said with a straight face, “How about his blood pressure and blood fat over these two days?”

“Good.”

“Dizzy?”

Elle wasn’t sure of it. Then she turned to Jacob, “Dad, do you feel dizzy?”

Jacob thought about it and said, “Sometimes. But not too seriously.”

“Keep paying attention to the blood pressure. Get one more brain scan. If no intracranial haemorrhage is found, your father can go home in three days.”

“That’s great.” Elle was excited, as she’d been bored to death in the hospital, “Thank you, Dr Carroll.”

Sion was a very good surgeon.

It was a pity that they got married secretly. Or, she should have bragged to her father that his attending doctor was Aurora’s husband.

Sion nodded slightly. He took the nurses to one side, pointed at the ward-round records and told them the matters needing attention.

Jacob saw Sion was done checking on him and went back to where they were.

He turned to Aurora and said, “Aurora, I have a niece. He’s a handsome smart guy and two years older than you. Surely, he’s a promising young man. Look. Would you like to be introduced to him?”

Aurora didn’t expect that and got speechless all of a sudden. She hummed and hawed for a while and didn’t know what she should say.

Suddenly, she heard the young nurse’s confusing voice, “Dr Carroll, what’s wrong? Why did you stop talking?”

“… Nothing.”

Elle paid a quick glimpse to Sion and couldn’t be more embarrassed.

What was wrong with her father today? Why did he suddenly think of being a matchmaker?

It was a bad time.

Aurora’s husband was standing right in the room.

Elle frowned and said, “Dad, what made you think of my cousin suddenly?”

Jacob glanced at her and said, “What’s the problem? Aurora is a good girl and she’s your best friend. Don’t you think it’s good that she marries your cousin?”

Elle was at a loss for words.

She glanced at Aurora helplessly, as if she was telling her that she couldn’t help.

Aurora felt her heartbeat speeding up and a creepy line of sight targeting her back. She then forced a smile and rejected it politely, “It’s very kind of you, Jacob. But I’m too busy to see anyone now.”

“Oh, OK… ” Jacob sighed and found it was a pity. Suddenly, he was attracted by Sion and praised, “Well, Dr Carroll is better in every way.”

Sion heard it and raised his eyes to look at him, who was lying in bed.

“Mr Ford, you’re really high in spirit,” Sion said in a calm voice.

“Yep. I think so.” Jacob didn’t get between the lines and asked, “Dr Carroll, you’re a very capable young man, a pleasing looker. Are you unmarried? If yes, what do you think of my daughter?”

Pff!

Elle, who was drinking water aside, heard it and spitted it all out on Aurora. Aurora was lost for words again.

She gave Aurora the tissue paper to clean up and smiled at her flatteringly. Meanwhile, she complained secretly to herself that her father was no doubt a terrible matchmaker.

Aurora thought Sion would be above answering questions like that. To her surprise, he spoke the next second, “Sorry, Mr Ford. I’m married.”

Aurora was shocked by his words and got nervous.

Looking around unconsciously, fortunately, she found the two young nurses had left the ward. She sighed with relief and thought Sion was a closed book to her.

They’d been secretly married for three years but they were getting a divorce very soon. Why did he suddenly tell others that he was married?

Sion glimpsed at Aurora calmly. He looked indifferent again when he saw that guilty look on her face.

Jacob didn’t notice the thing between them but just murmured pitifully, “Oh, you’re married. What a pity!”

Sion squeezed out a smile, which was his way to say goodbye.

He put the pen back into his front pocket, turned around and went past Aurora indifferently.

Suddenly, he paused his steps and said without looking back, “The patient must have a good rest. The visitor shouldn’t stay too long.”

Aurora watched him leave and was confused.

Did he just take it out on her?

Come on!
