After saying that, Aurora saw the fury in Sion's eyes. He might hate her more.
Outside the ward, Albie heard those words ultimately. He knew Aurora meant not to tell Sion the truth to get divorced more smoothly. He saw Sion step towards the bed and grab Aurora's shoulder, "Is our marriage so casual for you that you could break the vows as easily?" his voice was frozen.
Albie burst into the ward and asked loudly, "What are you doing to my girl, Mr. Carroll?"
Both of the two inside the ward looked towards him.
"Albie…." On seeing Albie, all the injuries Aurora had suffered raised through her mind.
Albie passed by Sion and ran his hands through Aurora's hair, "You always don't know how to take care of yourself, you little fool." He uttered the reproach in an affectionate tone.
"I'm fine, except for having anemia."
"Good." Albie looked at Sion as if he had just remembered him, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Carroll. Aurora and I will invite you to dinner some other day."
Sion looked round at him with a sneer, "In what capacity?"
"Obviously," Albie stood straight with a triumphant smile, "I'm the father of Aurora's baby, after all."
Sion pursed his lips and had tension in his jaw without a word. It was sad that he, the legal husband of Aurora, should be the fifth wheel now.
"Mr. Carroll, I know it is just a marriage of convenience between you and Aura. You two don't have feelings and were obliged to get married."
He smiled at Aurora in the bed to reassure her, then continued, "I must thank you for caring for her these years. While since you'll divorce, I will look after her on my own rather than bother you."
Sion thought that this guy was so eager to come here and pick her up after hearing the news of their divorce. What did Aurora think? Sion glanced up and saw the pitiful woman, obedient, protected by the man aside. They are such an affectionate couple. Sion was almost overwhelmed by fury and jealousy descending upon him.
"Pff." Sion sneered and punched the shelf aside with a clenched fist, emitting a loud noise. He said irritably and frivolously, "Are you guys in too much of a hurry? Do you know there is a cooling-off period on divorce?"
Seeing that their hand overlapped on the bed, Sion couldn't resist his fury. He said coldly, "I won't agree to divorce." After saying that, he turned around and left the ward at once, reluctant to glance at the affectionate lovers.
