Probably, this was the biggest fight between Aurora and Sion ever.
In fact, Aurora didn't go find Albie. Where was she supposed to go find him? She just couldn't wander around the streets aimlessly. It was a long day for her. She was still down in spirit when she got up for work the next day.
Sion slept in the hospital again. He had an very important surgery in the morning, and it would be afternoon time when it was done. One of his colleagues stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, buddy. Let's go out for dinner. Anyway, we have to be on duty tonight, don't we?"
Sion raised his eyes to glance at him, "Nah. Sorry. I'm busy with something tonight. By the way, please keep an eye on the patient in bed 301 for me. Thanks!"
"Oh really?" His colleague asked out of curiosity, "What! The workaholic Dr. Carroll is gonna skip his shift tonight? That's new! Just between us. Are you in love?"
Sion looked at him, forced a fake smile and said nothing.
"OK! OK! Don't look at me like that!"
"Thanks, dude!" Sion said it and returned to his office.
Nevaeh came to his office and tried asking him out for dinner right after he left. She waited for a while but didn't see him. She saw a nurse passing by and asked, "Excuse me. Do you know where Dr. Carroll is?"
"He just left. He's off work." the nurse said.
Off work? Nevaeh checked the time and found it was only 4 p. m. Why did he leave work early?
Sion drove to a home-made dessert shop and planned to get Aurora a birthday cake. There were different kinds of cakes in the cake cabinet. He was attracted by one chocolate hazelnut cake and pointed at it, "Excuse me. I'm gonna take this one."
"Excuse me. Do you still have one more cake of this flavor?"
Suddenly, a magnetic female voice came into ears. Sion turned to look at the man unconsciously. The man was in a fine tailor-made suit and wearing an expensive watch. Indeed, the man had the charisma of an elite.
The waitress took out the packing box and apologized, "Sorry, sir. We have only one chocolate hazelnut cake."
Albie raised his eyebrows, turned to Sion and said politely, "Hi. Sorry for the abruptness, but could you let me have this cake? I can pay higher price."
Sion said with a smile, "Sorry, but this cake is priceless to me. My life loves this flavor only."
Albie saw the tenderness on his face and didn't want to ruin their happiness. Somehow, he also smiled and said, "What a coincidence! So does my girl."
