Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

“Aurora…” gasping, Sion spoke in a husky and enchanting voice.

Writhing, she felt like burning. It suddenly occurred to her that it was Albie Robertson who had been tending to her when her father was too busy to take care of her fever.

Did he return?

Aurora stared moaning instinctively, “Albie…”

Upon hearing whom she was calling, Sion suddenly stopped. His desire got quenched instantly.

Albie Robertson, the man now was also known as Albie Doyle.

It was exactly the guy she had been expecting.

Sion raised his head to look at her, “Aurora, do you know who I am?”

But he got no response from her. Instead, she had fallen asleep while breathing evenly.

Quite a while later, Sion let out a smile of self-mockery. Then he got off the bed.

He got a towel drenched with cold water again to cool her down. But this time, desire had totally evaded him.

When Aurora woke up the next morning, she could still feel the headache lingering inside.

She laid her hand on her aching head and walked out of the bedroom. She saw nothing on the couch but a blanket, next to which there was a note on the table.

She could tell from the typical strong handwriting that it must be left by Sion, “Got some work to do in the hospital. Do remember to take pills on time.”

Aurora sneered. What a typical attitude of coldness!

Needless to say, it must be quite different from the way he treated Nevaeh.

In the following two days, Aurora hadn’t seen him again.

He would be busy most of the time, which Aurora had been used to.

After she recovered from the fever and the scald on her waist, she felt like coming back to life.

However, she still had no idea how to mention divorce to him.

After washing up herself, she took some bread from the fridge and sat down beside the dining table with a glass of milk.

Her phone started to buzz. After taking a gulp of milk, she took a look at it and then picked it up to answer, “Hey, Alex, good morning.”

Alex started the conversation casually, “Aurora, now your internship is settled. I think there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Alex Bishop, one of her alumnus who graduated from the same major last year, got a job in a famous fashion company named T-Shine.

He had been capable and kind-hearted to offer aid to the other university schoolfellows.

Having known that Aurora was looking for an internship, he happened to notice that T-Shine was recruiting interns as well. So he suggested offering her an intern referral.

“Oh really?” Aurora was delighted, “Alex, thank you!”

“Come on, not a big deal.”

Alex seemed to be going out. She could hear him closing the door from the receiver.

“Why don’t we meet to talk? I got something that you should notice to tell you.” He suggested.

“Okay, it’s my treat today.” Aurora stood up to get herself changed.

About three hours later, they finished their lunch in a Japanese restaurant, after which they hung around in a hustling mall.

Alex slightly pushed his glasses up with his finger. He looked refined and attractive while shining in confidence, “You major exactly fit in the internship in T-Shine. There will be so much advanced and incredible design skills for you to learn. After you get started, just do your best to strive for employment after graduation.”

It suddenly reminded him of what he heard about a few days ago. So he turned to Aurora to continue, “Hey, I heard the HQ is gonna send an excellent newly inducted executive to our region. If you can win his favour, you may probably become a significant designer known around the world.”

Aurora smiled. Though it seemed too early to dream about her future, she was still determined to try her best in her very first job.

“Whatever. Alex, I gotta say big thanks to you. Thanks for your referral, I finally got a position in such a significant company.”

He smiled warmly, “Not a problem. I am glad to give you a hand.”

“Alex, if there’s anything else I can do for you, just feel free to tell me.”

When Aurora was about to say goodbye to him, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind.

“Aurora?”

Aurora turned around and noticed that it was Nevaeh.

Speechless, she couldn’t help wondering why she always bumped into those she didn’t want to meet at all.

“Oh, it’s you, Aurora!” Nevaeh walked over with a smile, “I thought I was mistaken.”

Alex supposed Aurora happened to come across one of her friends. Besides, he got something else to do. So he said to her, “Alright, I gotta go. Just feel free to contact me when you are in need.”

“Okay. Alex, bye.” Aurora said goodbye to him with a smile.

Watching his back, Nevaeh didn’t ask anything further. Instead, she kept on wearing a decent smile, “May I get you a cup of coffee for a talk of the old days?”

Aurora didn’t consider it necessary to have a talk with her.

But as soon as she noticed her smile, she found it hard to refuse. Finally, she nodded out of courtesy.

They entered a quiet café where there were a few customers, with melodious and relaxing music echoing in the air.

Aurora didn’t feel like talking. She simply stirred up the coffee while listening.

Neveah took a sip of her coffee and sighed, “I am gonna start my job in the hospital next week. Perhaps I won’t even have time to have a decent meal. Let alone having some time for my own to sit for a leisure talk just like what I am doing now.”

Of course, Aurora could tell how laborious it was to be a doctor.

Staring at her cute face, Nevaeh couldn’t help recalling her honourable teacher, Toby Robertson.

She sighed regretfully, “I am sorry for not having attended Professor Robertson’s funeral because I was studying abroad…”

“It’s okay.” Aurora smiled and continued, “What’s gone is gone. You have your own reason. I would understand that if I were my father.”

All of a sudden, Nevaeh reached out her hand to hold hers, which Aurora didn’t expect at all.

Nevaeh frowned to explain regretfully, for which Aurora was moved, “Aurora, I gotta go as soon as possible back then because I needed urgent treatment in another country. That was why I didn’t return for the funeral.”

“Urgent treatment?” greatly surprised, Aurora hadn’t even heard of anything about that.

She remembered it was said that she went abroad to study.

“Well, I got gastric cancer, which had gone beyond my every expectation. And half of my stomach was removed for that.”

Aurora seemed to get choked.

“Sorry…I didn’t know that. Are you okay right now?”

Nevaeh nodded, “I have it overcome. I believe that ordeal was just a signal to indicate my coming fortune. I will be blessed, do you think so?”

“Yeah.” Confused and distraught, Aurora had no idea why she was talking about that.

If Nevaeh wanted to have someone to pour out her heart with, she supposed Sion might be a better choice.

But Nevaeh didn’t seem to notice what she was thinking. She sighed and added, “Actually, I kinda regretted it for all these years.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I shouldn’t have insisted on leaving and lied to him that I was gonna go overseas to study. He must be very upset. But what if I got knocked down by cancer…If that happened, what about Sion?”

After a short pause, a sense of regret came across her face, “What I regretted most was that I gave up on the relationship with Sion.”

Hearing that, Aurora felt like her heart was being struck.

She had no idea why Neveah was talking about this to her. Frankly speaking, they weren’t familiar with each other.

However, the way Nevaeh confessed her feelings was like she was talking to a trusted friend.

Aurora couldn’t help sighing.

If it weren’t because her choice to break up with Sion, Aurora would never have got a chance to marry him.

Perhaps it was Aurora who happen to exploit the chance she let go of. Or perhaps now she was back to conspire how to take him away from Aurora.

While Aurora was still absent-minded, Nevaeh continued, “Aurora, I know you have kept in touch with Sion these years. Do you know if there is some girl he falls for?”
