Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Aurora Robertson picked up that piece of paper before Sion Carroll could, her hands shaking.

“Sion must have seen it.” Aurora thought, “What should I do…”

Not daring to look into Sion’s eyes, she folded the thin piece of paper as naturally as she could and put it in her tote bag.

She thought, “But he must gonna ask me again, so what am I supposed to say?!”

Sion saw clearly that Aurora acted strangely. He looked deep into her face after glancing at her closed bag with his dark eyes and said, “There’s nothing you can do at the hospital but see a doctor. But how why didn’t I know you were sick?”

Maybe he had no idea about how oppressive he could make people feel when he acted so flexible like this.

“I, I…”

Licking her lip, Aurora suddenly was hit by a good excuse, “I’m here to get Elle’s report.”

After saying that, Aurora sighed in her mind, “Elle, I’m sorry!”

Sion’s suspicious eyes flickered as if he hadn’t thought that that was her answer.

He frowned slightly and stared at her with a sort of distrust, “Report? The report of a maternal test?”

Aurora was shocked and thought, “He has seen it!”

So she had to bite the bullet and continued her lie, “Well, yes… She asked me to get it for her because it’s a maternal test report. She was afraid of being found out.”

While saying that, she looked up to glance at Sion. However, she couldn’t tell from the man’s expressionless face whether he believed her or not.

Aurora exhaled gently, trying to keep her tone natural, “Elle just broke up with his boyfriend, so she’s afraid to come to the hospital by herself… She’s afraid she’ll run into someone who knows her here and her dad will find out she’s pregnant, so she asks me to get this report for her.”

Sion looked at her doubtfully, then said calmly, “In that case, show me the report.”

“…”

Aurora blinked confusedly at his unexpected request.

She thought, “Of cause, I can’t show his this report, ’cause it’s my own name on it!

If he knows I’m pregnant, he’ll have asked me to abort the baby.

After all, this man doesn’t even want to talk about their night together.

And he also went to court with me the next day of that night to get the divorce papers…”

Those thoughts gave her some courage back, “Sorry, but it’s Elle’s privacy and I can’t show it to you. You can ask her if you really want to know the details.”

Sion felt speechless about her words. He asked Aurora only because he thought she was hiding something from him.

“Why should I care about other people’s babies.” He thought.

Aurora looked at him with her chin slightly raised, her eyes sparkling in the incandescent light.

It was as if Sion had imagined the panic and helplessness on her face just now.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Maybe she’s freaking out just because she wants to protect her friend’s secret…” He thought.

Noticing that Sion didn’t continue his question, Aurora immediately changed the subject, “Oh, you just said you’re here to see the doctors? Why don’t you go to the Halberk Central Hospital?”

Sion said as his doubts faded from his mind, “There’s an experienced HCC specialist in this hospital. And I want to consult him about a different treatment method in my dad’s case.”

“So… what did the doctor say?”

“He hasn’t said.”

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, Sion stared at Aurora and said, “Well, since we meet here, why don’t we go together to hear what the doctor will say?”

“… Right.”

Actually, Aurora didn’t want to go with him.

For she had always thought it unwise to stay in the hospital together with Sion.

She thought, “What if… he finds out I’m pregnant?”

A secret was still a secret, and it would make her have a constant fear that it would be discovered.

But with Bailey Carroll’s illness at stake, Aurora couldn’t refuse Sion’s invitation.

Then they went to Professor Dunn’s office together.

Wearing a pair of reading glasses, the professor lowered his head and glanced at them over his glasses.

“Please have a seat.”

Aurora sat down beside Sion and nodded politely to this old doctor.

The patient’s case report was spread out on the desk, apparently having been read.

Professor Dunn said straight to the point, “Well, from the test, it’s clear that your father’s disease is in the middle stage, so conservative treatment isn’t working now. My advice is that it’s best to let him have surgery.”

“Of cause, we need to get your father in for a full checkup before the surgery. After all this time, I wonder if his condition has gotten worse.”

Sion looked at Aurora. They didn’t know what to say other than they were worried about Bailey’s condition.

They both knew what a stubborn person Bailey was. Even if Ariana Knowles couldn’t persuade him, let alone others…

“OK. I’ll persuade him to receive the treatment in the hospital as soon as possible.”

Sion’s voice was a little hoarse.

“Thank you. We’ll visit you next time.”

“Right.”

Professor Dunn stood up, too, “You’d better decide soon.”

Leaving the hospital, Aurora clearly felt that Sion’s mood was depressing.

After thinking it over, she said, “… What are you going to do to persuade dad?”

After all, they had tried to persuade him so many times before, which was no use.

Sion paused his step, then raised his hand and pinched his brow, “I don’t know.”

He thought, “I know my dad best.

So this is an almost impossible mission.”

Then Sion shook his head and decided to give this matter further thought.

He asked Aurora, “Where are you going back to? I can drive you.”

Just then, the mobile phone in her bag rang.

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Aurora didn’t understand why this person was calling her at this time.
