After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Sion Didn’t Care

"Mr Carroll."

Someone was knocking. Sion opened his eyes, which were as dark as night, and looked at the man beside the door.

"What?" said Sion.

David came in, taking a glimpse at his glacial face, and handed the invitation to him. "It's the invitation to the 5th anniversary of the earthquake in River Green's. The sponsor is delighted to see you there because you were in the spot for rescue.

The whole city was almost destroyed by the catastrophe and thousands of people were killed. As a rescue team member, the earthquake made an indelible impression on Sion. He opened the invitation and his expression altered, "June 12."

David thought Sion would like to know the schedule on that day, so he immediately added, "Nothing important on that day and it's okay to take a leave." Finishing that, his boss said nothing, just staring at the invitation in his hand. David couldn't tell if he was in a good or bad mood because his face was a cold blank mask.

After a while, David said with hesitation, "Mr Carroll, will you go?" Sion did not answer the question but ordered another thing, "Prepare some gifts for children in the local orphanage and send them there." The earthquake made so many children orphans and they were all in the orphanage nearby, but would he go? He was lost in contemplation.

"Got it." David nodded but frowned suddenly because Sion didn't say if he would go to the anniversary. David wanted to ask him but he didn't want to interrupt Sion, so he left the room quietly.

Staring at the invitation, those horrible memories flooded Sion in waves and the whole world seemed to become grey. The horizon almost vanished as the sky and earth merged when the doomed day finally came. He was nearly dead after being crushed under bricks. He frowned and closed his eyes. Suddenly, there was a light in his mind. Sion hurriedly ran after it and he woke up and opened his eyes when he was about to reach it.

It was Nevaeh who had saved him. Thinking of what happened to her, a wave of guilt swept over him. He already owed her life and now even more for Aurora's vile temper.

His face darkened and no one could guess what was in his mind. Given Nevaeh's condition, how could Aurora leave as if it was not her business?

Aurora was so tired because she didn't rest well after the quarrel with Sion and his mother. Albie walked out from the kitchen with breakfast in his hand, raising his head and seeing her in fatigue. He asked gently, "You didn't sleep well last night?"

"Yes." She murmured, sitting beside the table and rubbing her neck.

"Take a leave if you're uncomfortable." Albie gave her a bottle of milk. "Your health is what really matters and your colleagues can take over your job temporarily."

"You must be kidding." Aurora took a sip and some milk was left on her lips. She said with a smile, "You're the boss and as your sister, I should work even harder to catch up with you. Otherwise, it looks like I'm useless."

Albie took a piece of tissue and wiped the milk on her lips, feeling that he could do nothing to change her mind but spoil her. "Aurora... Anyway, take care of yourself and let me know if you're uncomfortable."
