After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 24 Need Surgery ASAP!

Chapter 24 Need Surgery ASAP!

Suddenly, Aurora remembered the scene last night when Sion had been forced to put on his doctor's

overalls and teased by her.

"Aurora?"

Alex held out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

"... Ah?"

Aurora realized she was staring blankly into space, and then she smiled shyly, "Nothing. Sorry, Alex, I

should have told you that. Sorry to have worried you."

"Alex, go back and work. We can have lunch together later."

Unexpectedly, he put on a serious expression and said, "But, there's something I want to tell you..."

"Something?"

Looking at her face, Alex spoke as earnestly as if he were making up his mind, "Aurora, I like you. Can

you be my girlfriend?"

Now Aurora was completely stunned.

Never did she think Alex would have declared his love for her right at the office in the early morning.

"Em... Sorry, Alex, I'm not looking for a relationship right now."

After all, she had been married although she was about to get divorced.

She knew Alex was a nice guy, but there was nothing between him and her.

All the time, she had just seen him as a nice senior, just like her brother.

Hearing Aurora said this, a hurt look flashed across Alex's face. But he didn't give up and looked at her,

asking, "Before you say no... Anyway, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

Opening her mouth but didn't say anything. Aurora had no idea how to respond to him.

She did not have a boyfriend but she had a husband who was divorcing her.

Alex assumed that she had acquiesced since she remained silent. So, with confidence reappearing on

his face, he said firmly, "As long as you don't have a boyfriend, I'll keep paying you attention until you

say yes. I hope you can give me a chance."

"..."

Aurora was lost for words. Looking at his earnest face, she only felt embarrassed at that moment.

At this point, she was saved from this embarrassing situation by the sudden ring of her mobile phone. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Pulling out the phone and giving a glance, Aurora felt relieved. And she felt like kissing Elle Ford on the

other end of the phone right now.

"Sorry Alex, my friend called me urgently... I have to get a phone call."

Smiling apologetically at him, Aurora left her station to get on the phone and whispered, "Elle, you just

saved my life!"

Elle paused for a second, then said in a tearful voice, "Aurora, you have to save me!"

"Speak slowly. What happened?"

Elle had just cried, which sounded obvious. Her voice sounded slightly hoarse.

"My dad... my dad is sick. He has a tumour in his head. ... The doctor said it'd be better to have an

operation as soon as possible!" Elle stuttered.

"How suddenly!"

Aurora was taken aback.

"Which hospital is your father in? When is his operation?"

"We're at the Second Downtown Hospital... The operation isn't scheduled yet, the soonest we can have

my dad's operation here would be three months from now. The doctor said if we can pull some strings,

my dad should be transferred to Halberk Central Hospital. I'm preparing the documents for transferring

and I'll be there afternoon. Aurora... Can you talk to Sion and ask him for a favour?"

Elle thought of Sion because he was the top neurologist at Halberk Central Hospital.

"OK, don't worry. I'll let him know now."

Without a second thought, Aurora agreed to her request. Then she consoled Elle, "Make yourself easy,

your dad gonna be all right. You'd better take a rest now and wait for me."

"OK..." When she heard what Aurora said, Elle couldn't help crying again and said, "Thank you,

Aurora."

"Don't say thank you, you're my best friend."

She gave Elle a few more words of comfort before hanging up. Then she tried to dial Sion's number,

but her fingers lingered.

Seriously, she didn't want to trouble him.

But now she was dealing with a matter of life and death, she should do the right thing.

Quickly deciding, she finally called Sion, and then she waited a little nervously for his voice.

"Hello," his magnetic, calm voice came from the phone, "Is there anything?"

"Are you busy?"

"No."

"Well..." Taking a deep breath, Aurora said at one fling, "Elle's father is sick, having a tumour in his

head. He'll be transferred to your hospital this afternoon and wants to have his operation here. So

could you do me a favour and perform his operation?"

Silent for a while, Sion's voice sounded cold, "How? I'm booked for the second half of the year."

Aurora was suddenly speechless.

She had no idea that he was so popular as a neurologist.

Well, if his surgery was easy to schedule, Elle wouldn't have thought to bother her.

But she insisted, "Can you... can you make an exception?"

"Make an exception? For you?"

He had always been principled, and he thought all his patients were equal. So there was no reason that

his wife could get one more chance than others.

As soon as Aurora heard his words, immediately, her heart felt cold, and her cheeks burned at the

same time.

Sion was right. Who did she think she was?

She was nobody to him.

"... Sorry to disturb you."

Finishing her words, Aurora hung up quickly.

Clenching his mobile phone, Sion could feel her disappointment and his face quickly changed.

"Sion?"

Nevaeh came just in time to hear Sion finish his last word on the phone, so she waited at the door until

he hung up before she went into the room. "You look not good, who phoned you just now?"

Shaking his head, Sion didn't answer.

Nevaeh went straight to his desk and said, "I just checked the O. R. schedule, and you don't have an

operation the morning after tomorrow, right? I'm going to buy some furniture, would you like to go with

me?"

She had just returned to the city and needed a lot of necessities at home, which she had been meaning

to buy. And she thought going shopping together would be just the way to get closer to Sion.

Staring at the computer screen, Sion clicked on the file which recorded the registration of the hospital

transfer.

Looking at the screen a bit, he sighed under his breath, "Sorry, I have to add an operation the morning

after tomorrow, so I won't have time for you."

Nevaeh was sort of surprised, and then she grinned and joked, "Who's so important that you can break

your rule for him?"

After all, Sion was known for his principles around the hospital. So many people had bribed him over

the years to help with their surgeries, but he had never said yes to them.

Indescribable emotions were hidden in his dark eyes. Sion said, "Well, I owe that guy a favour, I think."

Aurora had hardly asked for his help, and now he couldn't bear to refuse her when she asked.

Hearing that, Nevaeh nodded thoughtfully. But she couldn't imagine that a man like him would owe

anybody a favour.

...

In the evening, Aurora worked overtime until nine o'clock.

She held her mobile phone hesitantly, not knowing what to tell Elle.

But then her phone rang. Unfortunately, it was Elle.

"Hello?" Planning to apologize to Elle, Aurora said in a thin and tired voice, "Elle, I just got off work."

"Aurora, my dad had a thorough physical examination as soon as he was transferred to Halberk

Central Hospital this afternoon, and the result indicated that his operation is possible. So he'll have the

operation the morning after tomorrow!"

Aurora froze for a second and said, "How could it be so fast?"
