Elle sighed with relief, "You're brilliant, dear Aurora! Dr Carroll especially changed his schedule and took us to all the examinations today. Aurora, you're an angel! Without you, my father couldn't make the surgery appointment so soon!"
Aurora found it unbelievable and said, "That's... really awesome!"
She was confused, wondering if Sion had added an extra surgery temporarily. But the fact was that he'd turned her down earlier.
"Are you alone in the hospital now?" Aurora packed her bag on the desk with the phone between her shoulder and ear, "I'll go stay with you. See you soon."
Aurora took a taxi to the hospital. Elle came out to pick her up.
"Hey, there. How's your father doing?"
"He's fine." Elle looked much more relaxed, "He's quite optimistic."
"But seriously, it scared the shit out of me!" She sighed and continued, "Fortunately, you helped make the appointment with Sion. Otherwise, I don't know what I should do with it."
"Glad your father is all right."
Aurora couldn't understand why Sion changed his mind since he had taken a stand and refused to help. She told Elle the truth.
Elle heard it and exclaimed, "Look! He took your words seriously and helped us. Doesn't it mean that you mean a lot to him?"
Aurora was kind of stunned and said nothing else.
"Anyway, I think, telling from what he did this time, Sion is quite a reliable man. Well, you two are still married. Why not give it another shot and see if it works ."
Aurora listened and couldn't tell how she was feeling.
Give it another shot. But they'd tried for years! What if she fell for him and couldn't stop loving him if she kept trying?
Two days later, the surgery of Jacob Ford, Elle's father, was a success. He was transferred to the intensive care unit.
Sion stayed in the hospital during this period. Aurora remembered how indifferent Sion was to her the other day and didn't feel like calling him again.
In the evening, she brought Elle dinner. She'd bought more servings on purpose, thinking that she should buy Sion dinner and thank him face to face.
She finished dinner with Elle in the ward and got nervous when was about to see Sion.
When she was walking out of the ward with the lunchbox, she nearly ran into someone.
"Aurora?" Nevaeh looked at her with confusion, "What are you doing here? Are you ill?"
Aurora realized it and shook her head, "Nope. My best friend's father had surgery. I just came over to keep her company."
"Oh, OK. Take care." Nevaeh said and casually peeked into the ward behind her. On the tag, she saw the attending doctor was Sion Carroll. She narrowed her eyes but said nothing.
What a coincidence.
Nevaeh still remembered Aurora knew the decoration style of Sion's home very well when they were in the cafe the other day. And Sion broke his rules to perform an extra surgery for the father of Aurora's bestie.
What was the relationship between Sion and Aurora?
She couldn't help thinking more.
Aurora sighed with relief and was to leave, but Nevaeh glanced at the lunchbox and added softly, "You like this restaurant? What a coincidence! Sion told me he was hungry and asked me to get him something to eat. I was thinking of ordering food from this restaurant."
