She was talking about Nevaeh inviting them to dinner just now. Alex agreed without asking for her opinion. In fact, she didn't want to join dinner with them.
Alex was stunned. It took him a while to react. He said with an apology expression on his face, "I'm sorry... I thought you were willing to join them for dinner."
Aurora raised her eyes and looked at him, and said slowly, "I don't want to." Then she turned her back to him, opened the door and walked into the room.
Alex watched the door closing in front of him and he didn't know what to do.
Aurora went into the room and put down her bag. She sat down, covered her face with her hands, and then let out a long breath. She couldn't understand why she would be like this. She had already decided to let it go, let him go. But when something really happened in front of her eyes, she was still involuntarily led by those emotions. She thought maybe she just needed some more time. As long as she had enough time, sooner or later she would learn to handle her emotions well.
...
Sion and Nevaeh sat together at the academic exchange meeting. The meeting was led by River Green Central Hospital, and many well-known doctors and professors were invited.
Sion was spinning a pen in his hand, while a professor was speaking on the stage. No one knew if Sion was really listening or not. When it came to the discussion section and doctors could just speak and discuss casually, Sion still didn't speak at all. People could even feel there was an aura around him refusing to talk to anyone. So till the end of the meeting, people around him only looked at him and no one dared to approach him. All they could do was discuss in a low voice, "Is him Dr. Carroll from Halberk Central Hospital, who is young and promising? He seems to be really very young!"
"We have to accept that we are old already! The new generation is stronger than their previous."
Listening to what they said, unconsciously, Nevaeh felt very proud. Sion had always been recognized as excellent. When they were dating, she was honoured because of him. And soon she would have those honours back.
She was about to ask him if he wanted to say hello to others, but Sion had tidied up the things on his table already. It seemed that he was about to leave.
As soon as Nevaeh started walking, a doctor next to her came over to greet her with a smile, "Hi, are you a doctor from Halberk Central Hospital?"
The man who was talking to her was obviously older than her and seemed to be a senior with a lot of experience. Nevaeh shook hands with him politely, nodded with a smile, and said humbly: "Yes. It's an honour to meet all the outstanding seniors here. I have learned a lot today."
"Your hospital is very famous! In the entire medical system, it is the hospital with the most number of young outstanding doctors."
"I am flatted... you just gave us the highest praise. We still have a lot to learn."
After they exchanged a few pleasantries, when Nevaeh turned around again, Sion had disappeared. Chasing him out hurriedly, she saw he was sitting alone in a taxi on the opposite side of the road. Nevaeh was a little dazed. She wondered if he was going to go back to the hotel without waiting for her.
After Sion returned to the hotel, he ran straight to the front desk, and asked, "Would you please check for me, which room is Aurora Robertson's room."
The receptionist at the front desk, a young girl, was obviously taken aback. She raised her head quickly, and couldn't help but blush when she saw him. But she still said, "Sorry, we can't give you our guests' information." What she said was the regulation of the hotel. So even if he was so good-looking, she had to stick to the rule.
