Her words stabbed into Sion's heart as a sharp sword agonized.
The door opened then, and a nurse stepped in, turning on the light, "Is anything broken here? Do you need some help?"
Aurora adjusted her clothes hurriedly, and Sion leaned to one side to block her.
The nurse was astounded by what she saw but responded quickly. Looking at Aurora, she asked again, "Do you need help?"
Aurora clenched her teeth and didn't respond.
The nurse found it more suspicious, expressed through how she looked at Sion, "Sir, are you the patient's family?"
"Of course." His face remained impassive, "I am her husband."
Upon hearing him say that in stride, Aurora retorted directly, "No, ex-husband. We've finished the procedure."
The nurse was overwhelmed. At first, she thought the man was a bad guy; then they tended to be a couple, and now he was said to be her ex-husband. It was likely that the couple was annoyed with each other. But what if they did have divorced? Then it was harassment since the woman was reluctant.
In a dilemma, She said, "I'm sorry, but it is not the visiting time. If you want to see your, um, ex-wife, could you come during the daytime? It won't disturb the patient when they are asleep."
Sion glanced at her impassively, "She and I are still wife and husband. Tonight I've come to go through the discharge formality for her."
"Discharge?" Aurora looked at him in disbelief, "I don't leave the hospital!"
Sion didn't glance at her and called his assistant, "Come to the hospital now and complete the discharge formality for my wife. I take her away now." Bleary-eyed but sober, the assistant on the other end promised at once.
Hanging up the phone, Sion lifted Aurora to his chest, disregarding her rejection. His arbitrarily astonished the nurse standing aside.
Aurora was held in his arms and went to the hospital's parking lot. Seeing Sion's car getting closer, she tried harder to escape.
"Let go of me... Sion! What do you want to do?" He went to the hospital at midnight, kissed her abruptly, and insisted on taking her away from the hospital. Was he insane?
