Chapter35 Before Departure
A gust of cold wind swept in as Sion came to bed.
He stretched his hands from behind and held Aurora in his arms.
Further, his hands covered her tummy and started to rub around it in circles to release her pain, which, however, made Aurora so nervous that she felt her heart fly all the way up to the top of her head.
Aurora even felt Sion’s heart pounding violently with hers together.
Realizing Aurora was attempting to get out of his arms, Sion didn’t stop but said, “Don’t move, or you might miss your plane tomorrow.”
Thinking twice, Aurora followed Sion’s words and stayed put.
Thus, Sion kept rubbing her tummy with tenderness during the whole night.
Leaning in his arms, Aurora fell asleep with warmth around her stomach.
In the morning, Aurora woke up in the sunlight.
She opened her eyes and took some time to get her mind, and suddenly realized that they spent a night with Sion lying beside her.
Aurora got shocked. Leaning in his arms, Aurora didn’t dare to move, but still couldn’t help it and looked up at him.
Sion seemed to be still asleep with his eyes closed. Attracted by his long eyelashes and a Roman nose, Aurora stretched one of her hands and touched it.
“Stop it.”
Her hand were caught on site.
Not for a while, Sion opened his eyes and asked in a low and erotic voice, “Why did you wake up so early?”
Aurora snatched her hand away and responded with her face blushing and eyes wandering away, “I… I’m going t catch the plane!”
“Do you need me to take you to the airport?”
“No… Nope.” she hurried to get up, “you are busy. It’s also convenient to take a taxi there.”
Then, Aurora rushed to the bathroom without waiting for Sion’s response.
She called a taxi online after packing up. However, as she was about to go downstairs with her suitcase, Sion dressed neatly and came out of the room.
“Why… did you dress like this?”
“Go to work.”
While at the same time, he helped her with a suitcase, “Let’s go downstairs.”
“…”
Only when Aurora got into the taxi was she able to breathe easily.
She once thought that Sion would insist and take her to the airport.
Also, she couldn’t believe that she had a night when Sion and she slept in the same bed together…
Alex and Leah had passed the security check first when she arrived.
“Sorry for waiting.”
Aurora walked to them with her suitcase.
“Never mind, we just arrived. Let me help you.”
Then Alex was about to take her suitcase, but Aurora stopped and waved her hands, “I can do it, thank you.”
“All right.” Alex glanced at Leah, and then they went to board together. “We need to transfer from the airport to get to River Green when arrived.”
“River Green…”
Aurora’s thoughts flew when heard its name, she stopped unconsciously.
Noticing the change in her mood, Alex turned around and said, “Yep. Have ever been there?”
There was a painful look in her eyes. She nodded, “I have.”
“River Green was hit by earthquake years ago. My father was one of the members of the medical rescue team at that time, and I was worried about him…”
And also, worried about Sion, so she went there alone without telling anyone else.
“So you followed your Dad there?”
It was a horrible disaster which had even been reported for a long time.
Looking at Aurora, Alex said, “Brave girl.”
Aurora smiled with no words.
She was so excited when being informed that they chose her to participate in the competition that forgot to ask about the holding place of the competition.
Therefore, only when they were about to take off did she know that it was River Green.
Since it was destiny for them to leave for there, she wanted to spare some time to visit the old place in her memory where the earthquake happened, where she once stayed with Sion…
All of a sudden, the plane broadcast interrupted her thoughts.
Aurora cleared her mind, took a deep breath and fastened the seat belt.
The dean came as Sion finished a visit from a patient in the hospital.
“There aren’t any surgery arrangements for you recently, are there?”
“No. The urgent ones have finished.” Sion filled a cup of water for the dean and gave it to him, and then walked back to his seat and sat down.
“That’s great.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Dean sat down and took a sip of the water. “There is a Brain Neuroscience Academic Meeting in River Green, and I want Tommy, Charlie and you to attend it. Are you okay with it leaving for the meeting today afternoon?”
Sion’s mind went off for a second as he heard this name.
River Green, a place he was been away from for many years, was of great significance to him. Therefore, Sion agreed immediately without hesitation.
Sion was in a rush to go with his two colleagues so he hurried back home and packed up.
As he was about to close the trunk after putting his luggage in, someone stretched hands and stopped.
Sion turned around and found it was Nevaeh who was looking at him with a smile, “How about giving me a lift Dr Carroll?”
“Sorry, I’m heading to…”
“I know it.”
Suddenly she took out a ticket, “I’ve heard this from the dean! So I applied for him to give me an opportunity to attend the meeting with you. What do you think of it?”
It was true that she asked the dean about the meeting, consequently, she was able to buy the same ticket to go with them.
Seeing Sion didn’t respond, she continued, “Because… I also want to visit there again…”
Speaking of this, she looked at Sion, “It’s a place full of unforgettable memory between us.”
Sion’s face changed when hearing her words.
At last, he compromised and said, “There we go.”
Then he helped to put her luggage in.
Nevaeh was so pleased to see his reaction, and she dreamed in her heart that it was absolutely a precious opportunity for her to reconfirm their relationship by visiting the old place in their memory/
However, the face of Aurora popped up in her mind without any sign when getting in the car, which arose her uneasy sense.
…
While at the same time, Aurora arrived River Green airport with her colleagues.
The urban areas of River Green were almost completely destroyed by the earthquake years ago.
After reconstruction, a large number of developers and investors came to invest in this place, thus boosting sharp development and bringing tremendous changes.
Aurora was surprised at the new appearance of the streets. She barely recognized them.
Sooner, they arrived at the hotel. Aurora checked into a room with Leah while Alex’s room was next to theirs.
Alex smiled, “Such a long journey. How about having a rest first and then going out for dinner?”
Aurora and Leah nodded.
After they went back to the room, Leah gossiped with Aurora when taking her things out of the luggage, “Aurora, are you in a relationship with Alex?…”
