After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Need Surgery ASAP!

Suddenly, Aurora remembered the scene last night when Sion had been forced to put on his doctor's overalls and teased by her.

"Aurora?"

Alex held out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

"... Ah?"

Aurora realized she was staring blankly into space, and then she smiled shyly, "Nothing. Sorry, Alex, I should have told you that. Sorry to have worried you."

"Alex, go back and work. We can have lunch together later."

Unexpectedly, he put on a serious expression and said, "But, there's something I want to tell you..."

"Something?"

Looking at her face, Alex spoke as earnestly as if he were making up his mind, "Aurora, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"

Now Aurora was completely stunned.

Never did she think Alex would have declared his love for her right at the office in the early morning.

"Em... Sorry, Alex, I'm not looking for a relationship right now."

After all, she had been married although she was about to get divorced.

She knew Alex was a nice guy, but there was nothing between him and her.

All the time, she had just seen him as a nice senior, just like her brother.

Hearing Aurora said this, a hurt look flashed across Alex's face. But he didn't give up and looked at her, asking, "Before you say no... Anyway, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

Opening her mouth but didn't say anything. Aurora had no idea how to respond to him.

She did not have a boyfriend but she had a husband who was divorcing her.

Alex assumed that she had acquiesced since she remained silent. So, with confidence reappearing on his face, he said firmly, "As long as you don't have a boyfriend, I'll keep paying you attention until you say yes. I hope you can give me a chance."

"..."

Aurora was lost for words. Looking at his earnest face, she only felt embarrassed at that moment.

At this point, she was saved from this embarrassing situation by the sudden ring of her mobile phone.

Pulling out the phone and giving a glance, Aurora felt relieved. And she felt like kissing Elle Ford on the other end of the phone right now.

"Sorry Alex, my friend called me urgently... I have to get a phone call."

Smiling apologetically at him, Aurora left her station to get on the phone and whispered, "Elle, you just saved my life!"

Elle paused for a second, then said in a tearful voice, "Aurora, you have to save me!"

"Speak slowly. What happened?"

Elle had just cried, which sounded obvious. Her voice sounded slightly hoarse.

"My dad... my dad is sick. He has a tumour in his head. ... The doctor said it'd be better to have an operation as soon as possible!" Elle stuttered.

"How suddenly!"

Aurora was taken aback.

"Which hospital is your father in? When is his operation?"

"We're at the Second Downtown Hospital... The operation isn't scheduled yet, the soonest we can have my dad's operation here would be three months from now. The doctor said if we can pull some strings, my dad should be transferred to Halberk Central Hospital. I'm preparing the documents for transferring and I'll be there afternoon. Aurora... Can you talk to Sion and ask him for a favour?"

Elle thought of Sion because he was the top neurologist at Halberk Central Hospital.

"OK, don't worry. I'll let him know now."

Without a second thought, Aurora agreed to her request. Then she consoled Elle, "Make yourself easy, your dad gonna be all right. You'd better take a rest now and wait for me."

"OK..." When she heard what Aurora said, Elle couldn't help crying again and said, "Thank you, Aurora."

"Don't say thank you, you're my best friend."

She gave Elle a few more words of comfort before hanging up. Then she tried to dial Sion's number, but her fingers lingered.
