Chapter 40 Sion, How Can You Hit Him?
She was talking about Nevaeh inviting them to dinner just now. Alex agreed without asking for her opinion. In fact, she didn’t want to join dinner with them.
Alex was stunned. It took him a while to react. He said with an apology expression on his face, “I’m sorry… I thought you were willing to join them for dinner.”
Aurora raised her eyes and looked at him, and said slowly, “I don’t want to.” Then she turned her back to him, opened the door and walked into the room.
Alex watched the door closing in front of him and he didn’t know what to do.
Aurora went into the room and put down her bag. She sat down, covered her face with her hands, and then let out a long breath. She couldn’t understand why she would be like this. She had already decided to let it go, let him go. But when something really happened in front of her eyes, she was still involuntarily led by those emotions. She thought maybe she just needed some more time. As long as she had enough time, sooner or later she would learn to handle her emotions well.
…
Sion and Nevaeh sat together at the academic exchange meeting. The meeting was led by River Green Central Hospital, and many well-known doctors and professors were invited.
Sion was spinning a pen in his hand, while a professor was speaking on the stage. No one knew if Sion was really listening or not. When it came to the discussion section and doctors could just speak and discuss casually, Sion still didn’t speak at all. People could even feel there was an aura around him refusing to talk to anyone. So till the end of the meeting, people around him only looked at him and no one dared to approach him. All they could do was discuss in a low voice, “Is him Dr. Carroll from Halberk Central Hospital, who is young and promising? He seems to be really very young!”
“We have to accept that we are old already! The new generation is stronger than their previous.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Listening to what they said, unconsciously, Nevaeh felt very proud. Sion had always been recognized as excellent. When they were dating, she was honoured because of him. And soon she would have those honours back.
She was about to ask him if he wanted to say hello to others, but Sion had tidied up the things on his table already. It seemed that he was about to leave.
As soon as Nevaeh started walking, a doctor next to her came over to greet her with a smile, “Hi, are you a doctor from Halberk Central Hospital?”
The man who was talking to her was obviously older than her and seemed to be a senior with a lot of experience. Nevaeh shook hands with him politely, nodded with a smile, and said humbly: “Yes. It’s an honour to meet all the outstanding seniors here. I have learned a lot today.”
“Your hospital is very famous! In the entire medical system, it is the hospital with the most number of young outstanding doctors.”
“I am flatted… you just gave us the highest praise. We still have a lot to learn.”
After they exchanged a few pleasantries, when Nevaeh turned around again, Sion had disappeared. Chasing him out hurriedly, she saw he was sitting alone in a taxi on the opposite side of the road. Nevaeh was a little dazed. She wondered if he was going to go back to the hotel without waiting for her.
After Sion returned to the hotel, he ran straight to the front desk, and asked, “Would you please check for me, which room is Aurora Robertson’s room.”
The receptionist at the front desk, a young girl, was obviously taken aback. She raised her head quickly, and couldn’t help but blush when she saw him. But she still said, “Sorry, we can’t give you our guests’ information.” What she said was the regulation of the hotel. So even if he was so good-looking, she had to stick to the rule.
After hearing that, Sion was silent for a few seconds. Then he took out his phone from his pocket and started looking up for something. After a while, he showed his screen to the receptionist, and asked “I have our marriage certificate here, may I asked her information now?”
“…” The receptionist was really shocked. She couldn’t understand, such a handsome guest, probably a doctor by the way he dressed, actually having a photocopy of his marriage certificate right in his phone. Why? Could it be that he had been in a similar situation many times? So he was well prepared for this type of situation.
The receptionist took a closer look at the girl in the photo of the marriage certificate, and she finally remembered seeing her before, “Please wait a moment… Ms Aurora’s room is 806.” She kept her eyes lingering on him while she was talking.
It didn’t bother Sion. He thanked her, turned around and went upstairs.
In Aurora’s room.
Aurora spent the whole afternoon trying to relax, and now she was finally completely calm. She realized that she was really impulsive just now, and what she said to Alex was a little rude. After all, Alex was only an outsider who didn’t know most of the three of them.
Back at that time, it was likely that he was trying to ease the embarrassment, so he said yes for her to Nevaeh’s dinner invitation. However, Aurora was angry already for other reasons and she treated him badly for no reason. Thinking of this, she stood up, ready to go to Alex to apologize. After all, Alex was not only her senior but also her boss. She shouldn’t be so emotional in front of him.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a person sitting there leaning against the wall, “Alex… why are you still here?” She said in disbelief, “You… no, you haven’t been waiting here all afternoon, right?”
Seeing her come out, Alex seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “I made you mad. Of course, I have to wait and make sure you calm down.”
Aurora really didn’t know what to say. She felt even worse for what she did before, “Alex, actually, you don’t need to be like this. You shouldn’t pay so much attention to me.” She really didn’t have any feelings for him. If Alex paid too much attention to her, she would feel a little burdened.
Alex got a little anxious and he didn’t want to hear such decisive words from Aurora. He said seriously, “I know you rejected me before, but I also told you that I will definitely try harder to…” In the middle of his speech, he saw a white figure entering the floor from the elevator behind Aurora’s. After thinking for a second, Alex suddenly walked towards Aurora and hugged her.
Aurora froze, she didn’t expect Alex to hug her suddenly. She didn’t react or push him immediately.
Alex’s voice was affectionate, “Aurora, please give me a chance to love you, okay?”
This scene was extremely annoying for Sion who had just gotten off the elevator. In an instant, the anger in his heart was ignited. He looked at Alex with a cold facial expression. As he strode forward, he took off his white coat. With his slender legs, he approached them with several steps.
Aurora was stunned when she saw Sion appearing suddenly. Subconsciously, she tried to push Alex away from her. But the next moment, she was startled by Sion’s next move and screamed.
Firstly, Sion pulled Alex away. Then he sneered and he punched him hard without warning, hitting Alex’s face directly.
Alex stepped back until hitting the wall. Before he could stand upright, Sion punched him again. This time he knocked him down to the floor.
“Sion!” Aurora panicked, stepped forward and grabbed Sion’s arm quickly, “What are you doing? How can you hit him?” In Aurora’s opinion, Sion was a doctor and his hands had always been used to save lives and heal the wounded. This was the first time Aurora saw him hit someone!
