The surrounding air felt like cooling down fast. Aurora looked at the way he was protecting Nevaeh behind him, feeling like her heart was bleeding. She said, "I ordered it, but I didn't know she couldn't eat it."
She did blame herself a little bit for not being considered for Nevaeh that she couldn't eat spicy food soon after surgery. That dish was really spicy. But at the same time, She felt also a little strange. Nevaeh was a doctor, so why didn't she know what she couldn't eat in her condition?
Sion glanced at her, and said coldly, "Do you think everyone is as healthy as you?"
Aurora froze, she didn't expect him to say so, "You..."
Sion looked like he didn't want to hear what she had to say, and without looking at her, he bent down, picked up Nevaeh and strode away.
Aurora stood where she was as if her feet were sealed to the floor. She couldn't move at all. Pains started in her heart and spread to all her limbs.
Sion took Nevaeh back to his room, put her down carefully on the bed, and poured her a glass of water. Nevaeh's face was still pale, and she took a sip from the straw. Her hand was still on her stomach and she looked still in pain. Sion looked at her and asked, "Why don't I take you to the hospital?"
"No need to." Nevaeh shook her head and said weakly, "It's useless to go to the hospital in this case. I've already taken the medicine, and I'll be fine after a while." In her heart, she knew clearly if she ate something spicy, there would be a chance for her stomach problem to relapse, but what she had just now was not reaching that limit.
Sion nodded and didn't insist any more, "Then you have a good rest, I'll leave in a bit."
Nevaeh raised her eyes and looked at him, asking softly, "Where are you going?"
Sion didn't answer that question. He put the water on the cabinet next to him, "If you need anything, just call me."
...
After Aurora returned to the room, she sat at the desk with paper and pen. But she didn't feel like drawing anything. She felt messy and depressed. She didn't know where Leah went, so even if she wanted to divert her attention by talking to someone, it was not possible. She wondered how Nevaeh was doing now. She couldn't help being a little worried. Although she didn't mean to cause her problem, if they had to blame it on someone, it was actually because she ordered food without asking in advance. Seeing Nevaeh in such pain, she felt a little guilty. She didn't know whether she should call her and ask about it.
Aurora picked up the phone and pressed a few buttons. Then she put it down again. She thought it was probably inappropriate to call at this moment, it would be bad if it disturbed her rest. What's more, according to Sion's intention to protect Nevaeh, maybe he would come to seek justice for her after a while.
As she guessed, not long after this, her room's doorbell rang.
"Why are you here?" The two of them stood either in or out of the door, but both their facial expressions were not very good. Sion went directly around Aurora and ordered her, "Don't participate in tomorrow's competition, come back home with me."
