Chapter 67 He Noticed Aurora’s Strangeness

"Well, now that your dad is all right, Sion, why don't you go through the formalities for him? Aurora and

I will stay with your dad." Ariana Knowles changed the subject in order to prevent further escalation of

the conflict. But she didn't expect Bailey Carroll's firm attitude.

"I'll be home as soon as I finish this IV drip. I don't want to suffer in the hospital."

"Dad..."

Then Aurora Robertson really didn't know how to talk to her sick father-in-law. And Sion Carroll muffled

his tone and said, "You can get better treatment at the hospital."

However, Bailey did have the air of a man who had fully accepted reality. Although he was still mad at

his family, his words seemed to urge them to accept this reality together.

"You really think I don't know? I'm clear about what's going on with my body. Chemo and operation will

just make me suffer and kill me."

"Even if the spread is controlled, how long can I still be alive? Just give me a few days of comfort and

happiness..."

His voice echoed through the ward. Hearing his every word clearly, Ariana and Aurora fell silent.

Because Sion was a doctor, he knew better than anyone what it means when a malignant tumor has

spread to the bone marrow.

He realized that no matter what treatment he gave his father, it would only give him a few more days to

live. They were in a race for his father's life.

But his father's remaining life was short, and the treatment was a different kind of pain.

But Aurora didn't think about that much. Although she knew there was little chance of recovery through

treatment, they couldn't give up as long as there was still hope.

So she almost pleaded with a lump in her throat, "Dad, you shouldn't give up. What if... what if the

treatment works? We shouldn't miss any chance, shall we?"

Sion standing next to her. When he looked sideways, he could see the tears on her eyelashes and the

light in her eyes.

"Aurora..."

Bailey forced himself to smile, with a sense of history and acceptance on his face, "How long a person

can live, sometimes really depends on his lot and luck. But if it's true, I'm luckier than most. How many

people in this world can know when they're gonna die like me?"

"I've lived long enough to be satisfied, so I'm not willing to waste the rest of my life in the hospital. My

only regret is that I can't live long enough for you and him to have a child, so I can be a grandfather... If

I could hear that you have a baby between now and then, I'll be dead with no regrets."

Hearing this, Aurora couldn't help crying and turned her back to wipe off her tears.

And Sion also stopped trying to persuade his dad. His eyes were darker and darker.

After all these talks, Bailey was tired and leaned on the hospital bed with his eyes slightly closed.

Aurora hurriedly wiped away her tears and made him drink some water through a straw.

"Well, go home then." At this moment, Sion suddenly said, "And we'll move back in with you."

Because he was a doctor, he could take care of the patient, even if he wasn't an oncology doctor.

So he knew that mental health was the most important thing for patients. And ... all that remained to be

done was to spend some time with his dad before persuading him to receive the treatment.

When Aurora heard his words, she was shocked for a moment. But then she thought that they couldn't

divorce now because their personal documents had been taken away by Bailey.

Therefore, the most important thing right now was to take care of Sion's dad. He was so kind to her that

she felt she must stay by his side and spend more time with him.

...

After finishing the proceedings of checking out of the hospital, Sion walked to a quiet place and heaved

a heavy sigh of relief, leaning on the railing beside him.

Aurora followed him and saw that his usual erect posture was powerless at that moment. Her heart

turned bitter, but she couldn't find a way to console him.

"Thank you."

It took Aurora a moment to realize why he was thanking her. She thought he was probably thanking her

for being willing to move back with him and take care of his father.

"Don't say that." Aurora took two steps forward to stand beside Sion and looked out at the gloomy sky,

"He was my dad, too. I did all this just to be filial... Don't get me wrong, I didn't do it for you."

She didn't need him to feel touched or appreciated.

"Yeah." Sion replied, "You can go get our stuff, we'll move back tomorrow. As for the divorce, we have

to wait until..."

He didn't say the rest.

Until...

Both of them understood without saying.

But Aurora still didn't want to face the fact. She just nodded and turned to leave.

Staring after her back and opening his thin lips, Sion asked, "Aurora, Are you glad Albie's back?"

He knew that he shouldn't ask because he was more clear about her answer than everyone.

Aurora paused her step but didn't look back. She had no idea why Sion would ask this.

"Of cause, I've... been waiting for him."

Because Albie Doyle was her brother and family. He was irreplaceable.

Thinking of all the strange things Sion had done because of Albie, she couldn't help wondering if he

cared much about her brother.

If so, did that mean Sion cared about... her?

Taking a deep breath, Aurora turned and met Sion's eyes.

She didn't know why she had suddenly found the courage to ask him about the thing that had

happened last night. She wanted to know why he made such a choice.

"Sion, last night we..."

But before she could finish, Sion's phone rang.

Aurora guessed who the caller was as Sion looked at the screen of his phone with a complicated

expression.

It was Nevaeh Burns.

Because there was no other woman in the world who could make him care like this.

At this point, he didn't hang up for not wanting her to know something, and he answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Sion, have you finished?"

Standing nearly, Aurora could clearly hear Nevaeh's soft voice coming from the mobile phone. She

pretended she didn't care and looked down to enjoy the view downstairs.

"Sorry." Sion pinched his forehead and said, "Things not going well."

Then, he made everything clear to Nevaeh in a few words.

Nevaeh was silent for two seconds, then said, "Your dad has a tumor... Which ward? I want to see

him!" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You don't have to." There was no expression appearing on his indifferent face, "He's ready to leave the

hospital."

"Well... I'll see him some other time. As for the rest, I can understand you... And I believe you'll give me

a satisfactory result."

"Yeah, have a good rest."

Aurora listened as Sion spoke softly and patiently, her hands hanging by her side slowly clenched.

The growing pain in her heart made her bite her lip hard, and her face turned pale.

After hanging up, Sion looked back and noticed that something was wrong with Aurora...
