Sion stared at her with burning eyes. He asked curiously and slowly, "it seems you are hiding something?"
Aurora's heart skipped a beat at his closing good-looking face.
Was he trying to get words out of her?
"Nope," Aurora pretended to be composed. "I'm just worried about father, that's all."
"Then take it if you are not hiding anything. Don't worry about father, I will look after him."
"I'm a bit of a coward about pain!"
"Take it easy. You may close your eyes."
Aurora got so nervous that her hands were sweating and her fingertips went white by forceful clenching.
Aurora was on tenterhooks by his glare.
All right, forget it!
What she had to do first was to solve this immediate problem. She might be able to make up for it later!
She stretched her hand and responded firmly, "as you wish!"
...
It was already night when all the checkups were completed. Sion was always with her to take care of her.
"Do you want to visit your father? I will be okay to stay alone now..."
Lying in the bed, Aurora still felt cold though she had already been tucked.
She was still worried that Sion would get the report secretly.
"I just asked the doctor and he said my father is in a stable condition and still doesn't wake up." Sion was watching his phone, he looked up and glanced at her, "don't worry. Father isn't far from us."
Aurora, "..."
She really wanted to tell him that he didn't have to stay by her side! He should start to deal with his work!
But these words were suspicious so she just yelled them out in her mind.
What she could do was wait patiently here while trying to find a solution, as a criminal waiting for a sentence.
How to send him up with an excuse?!
"It's about time," Sion put down the phone and stood up. "Stay here. I'm taking the reports back."
Aurora called out when he was about to get to the door, "wait!"
Sion was a bit surprised about her urgent voice, "what's up?"
"I'm with you!" Aurora was so flustered. She flung off the cover at once and was about to get up.
"You'd better stay where you are before we know the result."
Sion went back and stopped her. He continued, "or do you want to be a blockhead?"
"..."
Sion tucked the quilt for her again, "stay here. I'll be back soon."
Aurora was so indulged in his warm smell that only when Sion went out of the room did she realized she had to stop him.
Aurora rent her hair out in regret. She was done!
Sion would surely know that she was pregnant!
Minutes passed by. Aurora was suffering from waiting until the steady footsteps came from outside. The door was opened.
Aurora buried herself in the quilt. She had her heart in her mouth. She couldn't even imagine what would happen to her next.
"It's late. I only get the head CT scan report today. The report for a general physical checkup is accessible tomorrow morning."
