Chapter 12 Unexpected Intimacy
But finally, Aurora still nodded, “Okay, Nevaeh, I would like to design some outfits for you.”
Then she turned around to grab her bag. After taking a deep breath, she said, “Sorry, I am feeling a bit unwell. I gotta go.”
After that, she turned around to leave. Alex hurried to follow over.
Sion fixed his eyes on both of them for quite a while.
Nevaeh took a sip of water, confused.
Why did she leave so soon?
“Don’t you think that gentleman looks like a perfect match for her? He’s so nice to her. I can tell he loves her from the bottom of his heart. An adorable girl like Aurora needs someone who would like to spare no endeavor to care about her.”
Sion simply leaned backward and replied coldly, “No.”
…
As soon as Aurora walked out of the restaurant, she hailed herself a taxi to leave in a hurry.
With itch crawling all over her body, she texted Alex, ‘Sorry, I got something else to deal with. Thank you for what you’ve done today.’
She fixed her eyes outside the window, watching everything, with both the restaurant and the hospital included, running backwards.
She felt like someone she cared about was also left behind.
Then she closed her eyes to keep her mind clear of distraction.
When she reached home, more than half of her face had turned red.
She hurried to rummage through the drawer for anti-allergic medicines.
As she was aware of the fact that she would easily get allergic, she had been extremely careful about her daily food and outfits.
However, the medical box happened to be empty with no pills for anti-allergy.
Sighing, she ordered a medicine delivery service with her phone.
Luckily, she knew the symptom wouldn’t be deadly but itchy.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
She curled herself up on the couch to wait for the delivery.
She felt like the itch was burning her. But she couldn’t scratch her skin in case of getting worse.
Finally, she decided to get into the bedroom while taking off all her clothes except for a vest and a pair of shorts.
Free from the friction between the cloth and her skin, she felt a bit more relieved.
At that time, Sion opened the door to walk in.
As he saw no one in the living room, he paused and then walked over to the master bedroom.
Hearing footsteps, she hurried to sit up straight on the bed.
“Why are you coming back home?”
Sion sized her up with his eyes. Then he casually replied, “I owe this apartment.”
Of course, he had the right to come back whenever he wished.
Aurora pouted.
Sion then continued, “Come on, take some pills.”
Not until then did she notice that he was carrying a plastic bag filled with anti-allergy pills.
She somehow felt flattered.
He actually brought her pills after lunch. What about Nevaeh?
Seeing him walking out, Aurora hurried to follow over.
He poured her a glass of water and handed over three pills to her, “Here you go.”
She felt like her sobriety was overwhelmed by dizziness brought by allergy.
She stared at him blankly and swallowed.
During these days, they barely enjoyed some peaceful time like what was happening now.
After taking those pills, she handed over the glass back to him.
Sion took it over and put it onto the table. Then he took out some ointment and sat next to her, “Come closer.”
“What?” Aurora looked confused.
Sion sighed to explain, “Some ointment will help you recover faster.”
“Okay.”
However, as soon as she moved a bit, she felt like being frozen.
There seemed to be something wrong, she supposed.
Her body was scantily covered with crop top vest and shorts only.
Under the warm light in the living room, the vibe was getting weird.
She somehow felt like burning hot.
But luckily, the symptom brought by allergy covered it up.
Whatever. Sion, as a doctor, had seen a lot of bodies. So there was nothing for her to feel embarrassed about, she reckoned.
Witnessing her gaze going blank, he simply grabbed her wrist to pull her over.
Unprepared, she was totally stunned.
Then she actually fell onto his lap.
Her heartbeat was running wild. Before she struggled to sit up herself, Sion fixed his captivating eyes on her while speaking with husky voice, “Don’t move.”
Aurora couldn’t help swallowing while watching his face. So she stayed still.
With a swab on his hand, he slightly applied the ointment to her face, her neck and her arm.
She felt coolness from where the swab scratched. However, for the same reason, she felt like burning hot.
Before Sion was about to apply ointment to her thigh, she hurried to sit up herself.
As Sion was maintaining a posture to keep his head down, she happened to bump onto her head.
As soon as their lips touched each other, she suddenly frozen on spot regardless of her nose hurting after getting bumped.
Sion still remained unmoved. Nor did he try to dodge. No one knew what was on his mind.
He looked down at her long eyelashes.
There seemed to be a kind of chemistry brewing between them.
Aurora was the first to run out of strength to maintain her posture.
Then she inclined downward to lie down onto his lap again, knowing that there would be an embarrassing kiss as long as she tried to sit up.
However, before she could touch his lap, he suddenly wrapped around her waist with his arm.
Sion felt like his fingertips slightly trembled as soon as he felt her soft and smooth skin.
It was the first time ever for him to notice that her waist was so slim within a grip.
