Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Aurora bit her lip, feeling aggrieved. What gave him the right to speculate on her like that? She couldn’t help but said, “Nevaeh was also there when I ordered, and she decided to eat that dish even though she knew she couldn’t eat it. Shouldn’t she know her own physical condition best?!”

Sion frowned, accentuated suddenly, “What do you mean?”

“…” Aurora lowered her eyes and swallowed all the words. She was just in a moment of impatience and she couldn’t control what to say, but she didn’t mean anything else.

Sion looked at the top of her hair, with mystery meaning in his dark deep eyes.

Aurora didn’t speak anymore, she had already said what she had to say. She didn’t know what could she say now to make it up now.

The moment when they both stopped talking, the lights in the room suddenly went out and everything was totally in darkness.

“Ahhhh!” Aurora screamed subconsciously, and then she was pulled into Sion’s arms. The two of them suddenly drew closer, and the fresh smell from him came over to her.

Aurora’s heartbeat speeded up uncontrollably. For one moment, the tension they had just now seemed to have never existed. Her face turned red slowly.

Sion put one hand over the top of her hair and brushed it gently.

Aurora wondered if he was protecting her subconsciously. The surroundings were totally dark and quiet. All they could hear clearly were each other’s breathing and heartbeat. Aurora lay in Sion’s arms, trying not to think about what happened in the past two days.

But this was basically torment for Sion. Holding her soft body in his arms, the thoughts that he usually suppressed in his heart grow wantonly in this darkness. But he also knew that the woman in his arms was always thinking about divorcing him, separating from him, and drawing a clear line between them. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help hugging her a little tighter.

Aurora was afraid of the dark. In the darkness, she always felt like there was something crawling out from the corner around her. Reflexively, she reached out and grabbed Sion’s clothes tightly.

Sion sighed inaudibly. He comforted her softly, “Everything will be fine. It’s probably just faulty wiring.”

“Why didn’t they say it in advance?” Aurora’s voice was like a kitten’s at that moment, without the rigidity of arguing with him just now. The posture of the two of them was intimate. If Sion would lower his head, he could kiss her forehead. The familiar fragrance from her hair penetrated his nose. The little woman in his arms was hugging his waist tightly with both hands, leaning against him.

In the darkness, Sion’s pitch-black eyes dimmed and he said in a deep voice, “It may be an emergency.”

Aurora felt his chin rest on the top of her head, and the hands-on her waist tightened. But she couldn’t care about those things at that moment, the fear brought by the darkness was droning her gradually, making her breathless.

Not long after, there was a burst of footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of hotel staff and room doors opening could be vaguely heard.

“Go and see if there are dark as well and if the switch tripped?”

“Hello, please don’t panic, it’s just a small problem, it will be fixed soon.”

But Aurora shielded herself from all the outside sounds. All she could feel was that the darkness in the room was like a real substance, turning into a strange-looking monster, slowly stretching out its claws towards her. Usually, she didn’t even dare to walk alone at night, and she had to leave a night light when she was asleep. This kind of phobia of the dark sounded wired if she talked about it, and others would suspect she was hypocritical. So she never told Sion.

At that moment, Aurora’s forehead was full of sweat and she felt a little out of breath. She trembled slightly and clung to Sion tightly like he was a life-saving straw or a piece of driftwood for someone drowning in the deep sea.

Sion didn’t notice her strangeness. He suddenly remembered that Nevaeh was alone in the room with a stomach problem. It would be hard for her to get up now and it didn’t seem okay to leave her alone. Thinking of this, Sion showed a bit of worry in his expression. He brushed Aurora’s hair, comforting her, “It’s okay, the electricity should be back soon.” After speaking, he wanted to pull Aurora away. But Aurora grabbed his clothes tightly, refusing to let go. Sion patted Aurora on her back and said as softly as possible: “Nevaeh is alone in the room, she is afraid of the dark, and she is not feeling well. I have to go back and take care of her. Just sit still in your room and nothing will happen.”

Hearing these words suddenly, Aurora felt as if there was a stone was on her heart. She felt uncomfortable all over her body. She wanted to say that she was also afraid of the dark, but Sion didn’t give her a chance to say it. He pushed her away and left.

The door opened and closed again.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Aurora stood alone in the dark, terrified and bewildered.

On the other side of the wall, Alex waited in the room for a while, yet there was no electricity. Hearing footsteps in the corridor outside, he was worried about Aurora suddenly. He took out his phone and sent her a Facebook message. But for a long time, he didn’t get any reply, so he called her, but still, no one answered. After thinking for a while, he opened the door of the room directly. A waiter happened to pass by the door. Alex stopped him, “Excuse me, how long will it take to have the electricity back?”

“Sorry sir, we don’t know yet. Our electrician is rushing to repair it. Please wait patiently for a bit longer.”

Alex didn’t say anything more. He walked towards Aurora’s room.

At the morgue, Aurora was shivering, huddling into a small ball in the corner. Her tears fell silently on the ground. She didn’t even dare to cry out in such an environment.

She couldn’t help but remember the scene after her father’s accident. The cold morgue was dim, and her father’s body was lying there motionless. The white cloth was particularly conspicuous in the darkness. So white that even when the doctor turned the light on later, all she could see was only the boundless darkness and the white cloth in front of her eyes.

How terrifying the darkness was? It was the feeling of nowhere to escape once one was in it. Those strange black tentacles stretched out towards her as if they wanted to eat her up. No one could protect her now. Her father was gone, her brother was gone, and Sion, he went to accompany others now.
