Chapter 107 Was He Faking His Illness?
Grace was eating the chips loudly and nodding seriously. When their big sister looked at that big brother, her eyes seemed glowing!
"You have to keep it a secret for me." Aurora stretched out a little finger to hook hers and made an agreement with her, "You can tell no one, okay?"
In Grace's mind, a secret that needed to hook fingers was the top secret. She immediately nodded solemnly and promised, "Okay! I promise not to tell anyone!"
"Good girl, now go drink some water!"
Grace ran away laughing.
As soon as she left, Aurora's mood turned bad and kept getting worse uncontrollably. She wondered if even a child could tell who she liked, how Sion could never understand that.
The sky darkened gradually. The three of them had dinner in the orphanage.
The kids got along with Sion and Albie for a while, so they began to speak boldly.
"Big brothers, when will you come to visit us next time?"
"When will Aurora come again?"
"Aurora... can you not leave us again?"
They just started talking one after another, without withdrawing but also making listeners feel bad.
"I promise you that I will come to visit you with big brothers once we have free time, okay?"
"... Okay then." The volume of their voice obviously dropped.
The dean helped to coax the kids. Finally, he coaxed them back to the house.
Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Albie, and asked, "Albie, be careful on your way back."
"Don't you need me to send you?"
"It's okay, no worries." Aurora shook her head. Both Sion and her were going to go back to Carroll Manor, so it would be too wired to sit separately. Besides, they came here together anyway. Sion snorted slightly, "Does Mr. Doyle think my car can't carry people?"
Aurora was speechless now, she felt like the war between them had escalated. In order to avoid it escalating again, Aurora smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, I'll just go with Sion, we are heading to the same place. Take care of yourself on your way back." After speaking, she waved her hand to signal him to leave quickly.
Albie was very accommodating, smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, get rest early after you go home." He opened his car door, got in the car and left after speaking.
"We..."
Before Aurora finished her sentence, Sion gave her an indifferent glance, opened the driver's seat and sat in it.
Aurora didn't know what to say. She couldn't figure out what Sion was thinking!
In Nevaeh's apartment, she was wearing silk pyjamas, standing in front of the window with a glass of red wine. Her hazy eyes reflected the neon lights outside the window, making it impossible to guess her true emotions.
After a while, the phone in her hand rang. She picked it up without looking at it, her voice was indifferent, "Tell me."
"The two of them were together all day together. After leaving the hospital, they went to the Children's Welfare Institute. They just returned home and didn't come out again."
Nevaeh's eyes turned cold, "Together all day, all the time?"
Ever since Sion promised her to divorce Aurora, she hired a private investigator secretly, to follow the two of them. Even if Sion had made up his mind, there was no guarantee what that little bitch Aurora would do. But Sion didn't like to talk to her about them, so Nevaeh had to take some action by herself.
The result was just like what she was afraid of! Sion said that he and Aurora were going to get a divorce, but they were still together all the time and inseparable!
Nevaeh narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked suddenly, "Did they go to the hospital together?"
"It should be a coincidence. Mr. Carroll was alone when he went, and he went to a cancer specialist in the hospital."
"Keep watching and find out what Aurora was doing in the hospital."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Nevaeh threw the phone on the sofa behind her casually. She took a sip of the wine.
The reason Sion went to a cancer specialist should be to ask about Bailey's disease. But what about Aurora? If she was sick, why didn't she go to the Halberk Central Hospital which she was familiar with, instead of going to the Western Hospital which was far away?
For some reason, a possibility that even she didn't want to believe popped up in Nevaeh's mind, and she felt a little worried.
She drank all the red wine in the glass in one sip and tried to suppress that bad feeling. She made up her mind, no matter what the reason was, Sion could only be hers!
In the early morning of the next day, Aurora opened her eyes in a daze. Her mind wasn't working for a moment. After seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, she suddenly woke up and sat up.
Oh shit! She screamed in her mind. She had to go to work today!
She hastily took a look at her mobile phone from the cabinet next to her. Then she scratched her hair and said sadly, "No...! It's half past eight already!" She didn't doubt that would be another day that she was late for work. She got up from the bed quickly and tidied herself up.
Downstairs.
Ariana was serving breakfast she just made on the table. She looked up at Bailey who was coming out of the room and said, "Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?"
"Yes, I did." Bailey walked to the dining table, glanced upstairs, and whispered, "Are you sure they've left?" Those kids were trying so hard to take care of his body and be after him all day long. It was so hard to hide from them. But if he didn't hide from them, he was afraid that they would find some clues. After all, his cancer was fake.
Ariana glared at him, "I was the one who watched Sion went out. As for Aurora, I guess she left when I was busy in the kitchen. It's her working hours now, so she must have left already." "That's good." Bailey sat down in relief and began to eat.
And Aurora, who they said had left a long time ago, just changed her clothes and put on lipstick in front of the mirror.
"It's too late, it's too late...!" She picked up her bag and rushed out the door like the wind. As soon as she walked to the door of her room, she heard Ariana's crisp voice coming from downstairs. "You have been an adult for many years already. But you still behave like a child, playing cat and mouse with the kids every day. You just won't come out to have food until they leave, right?" Aurora was unprepared to hear such words, and doubts filled up her heart. So subconsciously, she stopped and listened. She got a feeling that she would hear something important. "What else can I do? If someone wants to pretend to be sick, then he or she just has to try hard, right?" Bailey replied vaguely while eating.
"You're making trouble with your own stomach." Ariana helped him spread the sauce on the bread, "When will to stop pretending to be sick?" Their voices sounded casual, but Aurora felt so shocked!
Pretending to be sick?!
