Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Probably, this was the biggest fight between Aurora and Sion ever.

In fact, Aurora didn’t go find Albie. Where was she supposed to go find him? She just couldn’t wander around the streets aimlessly. It was a long day for her. She was still down in spirit when she got up for work the next day.

Sion slept in the hospital again. He had an very important surgery in the morning, and it would be afternoon time when it was done. One of his colleagues stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, “Hey, buddy. Let’s go out for dinner. Anyway, we have to be on duty tonight, don’t we?”

Sion raised his eyes to glance at him, “Nah. Sorry. I’m busy with something tonight. By the way, please keep an eye on the patient in bed 301 for me. Thanks!”

“Oh really?” His colleague asked out of curiosity, “What! The workaholic Dr. Carroll is gonna skip his shift tonight? That’s new! Just between us. Are you in love?”

Sion looked at him, forced a fake smile and said nothing.

“OK! OK! Don’t look at me like that!”

“Thanks, dude!” Sion said it and returned to his office.

Nevaeh came to his office and tried asking him out for dinner right after he left. She waited for a while but didn’t see him. She saw a nurse passing by and asked, “Excuse me. Do you know where Dr. Carroll is?”

“He just left. He’s off work.” the nurse said.

Off work? Nevaeh checked the time and found it was only 4 p. m. Why did he leave work early?

Sion drove to a home-made dessert shop and planned to get Aurora a birthday cake. There were different kinds of cakes in the cake cabinet. He was attracted by one chocolate hazelnut cake and pointed at it, “Excuse me. I’m gonna take this one.”

“Excuse me. Do you still have one more cake of this flavor?”

Suddenly, a magnetic female voice came into ears. Sion turned to look at the man unconsciously. The man was in a fine tailor-made suit and wearing an expensive watch. Indeed, the man had the charisma of an elite.

The waitress took out the packing box and apologized, “Sorry, sir. We have only one chocolate hazelnut cake.”

Albie raised his eyebrows, turned to Sion and said politely, “Hi. Sorry for the abruptness, but could you let me have this cake? I can pay higher price.”

Sion said with a smile, “Sorry, but this cake is priceless to me. My life loves this flavor only.”

Albie saw the tenderness on his face and didn’t want to ruin their happiness. Somehow, he also smiled and said, “What a coincidence! So does my girl.”

It was her birthday. In fact, he’d planned to buy her favorite cake and met her on this special day, and he’d even recited her address for several times. He went to two cake shops but didn’t get the chocolate hazelnut cake. Finally, he found this shop, but Sion had taken it first.

Sion nodded at him politely and said nothing else.

Albie paid another glance to the cake. Unluckily, he had to go to another cake shop to check it out. By then, neither of them knew they were talking about the same girl. As it goes, Karma is a bitch.

In T-Shine.

“See you, Aurora. Have a nice night!”

Aurora looked up and waved to her colleague, “Thanks. Bye!”

After the other employees left the office one after another, Aurora checked the time and began packing her stuff slowly. She hated this day of the year., and wished she could skip it! It was her birthday but she didn’t want to celebrate it at all.

She went home and suddenly thought she couldn’t waste the time only because she disliked it. She felt like doing something. Aurora stood in the living room and thought for a while. In a whim, she went to the storeroom and found her sketching easel. The weather was nice today. The sunset clouds out of the window looked like burning flames. She was gonna paint it.

While she was painting, Aurora couldn’t help thinking of the past. That night three years before was like a nightmare to her. Whenever she recalled it, it took her breath away. She took a deep breath and tried focusing on her painting. Anyway, she’d lost him forever. Her father wouldn’t be back again.

Sion came back with the cake and happened to see Aurora sitting by the window with sunlight glowing on her, holding the painting scraper and working attentively on her painting. She had a delicate face and her long hair was down by the ear, which made her look a little idle.

Aurora heard him, but didn’t look back. She just paused a little.

Sion put the cake on the dinning table, poured a glass of water and went over to the balcony. He simply leaned against the door and watched Aurora quietly.

Aurora finished the painting at one fling. Surprisingly, she found Sion was still standing there looking at her, and asked, “What have you been doing here?”

In fact, she saw him coming over, but thought he’d just take a look and then return to his room. But he looked like he’d been standing there all the time.

“Enjoying the view.”

Aurora looked out to the sky. The sunset clouds were hardly seen. From where he was standing, he couldn’t see the neon lamps of the city. What was the view? But he could do whatever he liked. It was none of her business. She said nothing, but cleaned up her painting tools silently.

Sion knew she just pretended not to care, and felt really bad. Three years before, he was there in the accident. For some time, he was haunted with the heavy rain and blood.

He remembered Aurora was still a freshman back then. And he could never forget her sad face when she saw him in hospital. She’d cried her eyes out and looked utterly numb and indifferent. She told him, “Why did my father die, but you survived?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sion once thought he should have stopped Professor Robertson. Maybe they would have avoided the accident if they didn’t drive in the heavy rain. But what was point? It just made no difference. The accident did happen and Professor Robertson did die in the accident even if he regretted it and Aurora blamed him for it. Aurora couldn’t get over it all her life. Neither could he.
