Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Alex was laying on the ground, looking at Aurora and Sion. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand to wipe it out and then tried to stand up but fell down again, and groaned.

Aurora frowned tightly and knelt down to help him, “Alex, are you okay?”

With Aurora’s help, Alex could stand up slowly, putting his arms around Aurora’s shoulders. Seeing Aurora’s anxious expression, he smiled slightly. In the next moment, his facial expression changed to pain and confusion, and he asked weakly, “Dr Carroll… May I ask what did I do that offended you? Is there some misunderstanding?”

Alex’s appearance undoubtedly ignited the anger in Aurora’s heart. She held Alex with her arm and glared at Sion, “Yeah, Sion, what did he do to offend you? Why did you suddenly rush out and hit him? What’s wrong with you?!”

Sion watched her defending this man and his facial expression getting colder and colder. Her behaviour was like oil, pouring on the fire of his anger, making it burn larger. He didn’t answer Aurora’s question. He just reached out and pulled her back to his side. Sion gripped Aurora’s wrist tightly. She got angry and struggled, but the big hand was like a plier, making her unable to move. He held Aurora in his arms, looked down at Alex, and said in a cold voice: “Aurora is my wife. I warn you, stay away from her. Otherwise, next time, I won’t let you go so easily.”

As soon as he finished talking, there was silence in the corridor.

Alex was shocked and filled with disbelief. He had thought about the possibility of an intimate relationship between them, but he never thought that they were actually married!

Aurora was also shocked. She couldn’t understand why Sion would expose their relationship in this situation. They had an agreement of divorce already. There were too many emotions accumulated in her mind in the past two days. Maybe it was because of that, Aurora felt hard to control herself suddenly. She pushed Sion away abruptly. Her eyes got red and she mocked, “Wife? Do you respect me as your wife? If you really believe you are a man with a wife, would you still be fooling around with other women like that last night?!”

Sion looked at her faintly trembling hands. He frowned involuntarily and stretched out his hand again to pull her, “I’ll explain this to you later, now come with me first.”

Aurora got stubborn now. She didn’t want to talk to him at all. She wanted to shake his hand off, but she couldn’t shake it off.

Sion looked at her, feeling that his heart was being pulled lightly and severely, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Alex finally seemed to understand the situation. Suddenly, he grabbed Aurora’s other hand, looked at Sion, and said solemnly, “Dr. Carroll, even if you and Aurora are really married. In outsiders’ eyes, you have always been with another woman, so I think you are not qualified to be her husband.”

Sion narrowed his eyes and sneered.

At the same moment, Aurora suddenly said loudly, “Enough!”

She turned her head to Alex, seeing bruises on the corners of his mouth and cheekbones, which looked so scary and showed that Sion did it without holding back. She said “Alex, please just ignore him. Let’s go. We should go to the front desk and find you some medicine.” After speaking, Aurora pulled Alex’s arm and walked towards the elevator.

Sion looked down at the hand that was thrown away, feeling that there were a thousand carries on his shoulder. Eventually, he stayed there and didn’t try to follow them.

After a while, he lowered his head and let out a deep breath. The window at the end of the corridor was open, and a gust of wind blew over, rolling up a fleeting white shadow around the corner.

…

Aurora and Alex returned to the room immediately after they got the medicine. She opened the cotton swab, looking at the bruising on Alex’s face getting more and more frightening, frowning.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry,” Alex said comfortingly, he was looking at Aurora’s fair face. He felt that it was worth it getting beaten, just for her to look and worry about him.

“Easy to say. It hurts to even just look at it.”

Alex let her put the medicine on him. He was silent for a while, and then continued speaking, “But I really didn’t expect that you are already married.”

Aurora paused and then continued as if nothing had happened. She said, “Sorry, Alex, I didn’t tell you about this before.”

“It’s okay, when did you get married?”

“It’s a long story…” Aurora tried to keep her tone relaxed. Since Alex knew it already, and the one who told him was Sion himself, so there was no need for her to hide it anymore.

By that moment, Aurora seemed to have found a breakthrough, so she started talking, “It was pretty much an accident that we got married. In that case, it is easier for him to take care of me, and it was a payback of kindness. In fact, we have no feelings for each other.” The person in Sion’s heart had always been Nevaeh. But she had been deceiving herself repeatedly because she didn’t want to let go of the marriage. But now it seemed that there was no reason for her to lie to herself anymore. Aurora faked her smile like everything was fine and said, “We’ll be getting a divorce soon.”

Hearing this, Alex couldn’t help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. He thought for a while before he said, “Since you have no feelings, you should get a divorce soon. In fact, it’s good for both of you.”

Aurora nodded and smiled at him.

Alex moved his eyes slightly and said as if he remembered something suddenly, “But it’s clear that the person Dr. Carroll likes should be Dr. Burns, right? He cares about her very much.”

“… Yeah.” Aurora tried to smile but she couldn’t. She sighed, “They used to be a couple when they were in school. If it wasn’t for me getting in their way. They might have become a model couple long ago.”

Alex raised his hand hesitantly, and patted her on the shoulder lightly, “Everything will be okay.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Aurora nodded heavily, “Yes, everything will be okay.”

Not long after finishing putting the medicine on Alex, Aurora’s cell phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Nevaeh. Aurora hesitated for a while before picking up, “Hello?”

Nevaeh’s voice was on the phone. What she said showed that she obliviously had no idea to what had just happened, “Aurora, Sion and I have returned to the hotel already! I have reserved a table at the restaurant downstairs, please hurried and join us.”

Aurora pursed her lips. She wanted to refuse her. But Alex gave her a look, and took the phone from her hand, “Dr. Burns, we’ll be down soon, see you later.”

Aurora looked at him, not knowing what to say.

Alex made an encouraging expression and said to her loudly, “I know you hate others making decisions for you. But since you have already made up your mind that you want to live a good life after divorcing Dr. Carroll, then you should learn to face all of this calmly now, instead of staying only in your comfort zone.”

“And since Dr Burns and Dr Carroll have feelings for each other, if they see that you can face them calmly, they will definitely understand that you really don’t want to get involved with them.”
