After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 The Secret Was Heard by Sion

Unlike usual, Aurora didn't work overtime that day. She rushed to the house right after working hours. After all, she had overheard such a big secret of Bailey's pretending to be sick that morning. Aurora thought it over and felt that she should have a good talk with Bailey and Ariana first. She wanted to understand what was Bailey's original intention first and then decided how to tell Sion about it.

Ariana was helping the servant cook in the kitchen. When she heard the door slamming, she poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Oh, Aurora, you came back so early today. We'll be having dinner soon!"

"Okay, Ariana." Aurora answer. After finishing changing her shoes preoccupied, she asked and pretended it was a causal question, "Ariana, how is Bailey doing today?"

When talking about Bailey's illness, Ariana obviously felt a little guilty, so she avoided looking into Aurora's eyes but sighed, "Oh... well, the same, he won't listen to me anyway." From the bottom of her heart, she got tired of acting already. She really hoped that Aurora and Sion might quickly reconcile!

"I see." Aurora nodded thoughtfully.

After she changed her clothes, the food was already prepared and placed on the table. In order to avoid meeting Sion, she pretended that she was really hungry and had to have the meal earlier than usual. Then she went to the study to find Bailey.

Standing in front of the door, she took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on it.

Inside the room, Bailey coughed a bit and said, "Come in." His voice was clearly weak and sounded just like a seriously ill person.

Aurora mumbled in her heart that he was acting quite well. Then she cleaned up her mind, pushed the door in, and called him, "Dad."

"Aurora, why are you here?" Bailey put down the book in his hand, pressed his fist against his lips and coughed again, "If you're here to ask me to have dinner, then you may leave now, I'm not hungry."

She nodded and stared at the man she respected always. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, and she didn't know where to start. "Dad, how do you feel these days?"

"I felt the same." Bailey smiled weakly, covering his heart with his hands. He looked like he didn't have much strength, "It's not too uncomfortable after taking the medicine, so don't worry. Dad is fine, alright?"

Bailey always knew that Aurora only looked simple and easy to deceive, but actually, she was clever. Fortunately, his acting skills were not bad, otherwise, she might figure it out already. He had to work hard to act even now!

Aurora couldn't help bowing her head, feeling a bit helpless. If she hadn't overheard their conversation that morning, she would never have imagined that Bailey, who was always serious and firm, would pretend to be sick and act so well. She said, "Dad, I actually know everything about your cancer."

Bailey froze for a moment, then coughed again, "What did you say?"

Aurora didn't want the atmosphere of the conversation to be too rigid, so she walked up to him, and helped him straighten his back to take a better breath. With a smile in her eyes, she said in a relaxed tone, "I know Dad, you are not sick."

Bailey was speechless. He didn't expect Aurora to be so straight to the point, he looked a little embarrassed, and subconsciously wanted to refute, "Aurora, what are you talking about? I have cancer..."

Aurora interrupted him, "Dad, actually, when I went out late this morning, I overheard you talking to Ariana."
