Chapter 42 Stay Strong

Chapter 42 Stay Strong

Aurora looked at Alex who was simply thinking for her, she couldn't do anything else but nodded. Yet even though she had thought it through, she still didn't want to face it deep down in her heart. When she thought of the scene where Sion and Nevaeh cared for and loved each other in front of her, it hurt her a lot. But since she agreed with Alex, she would go and join them anyway.

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, they only saw Nevaeh and Sion weren't there. Aurora couldn't help but feel relieved.

"You guys finally come! Come here and take seats." Nevaeh waved to them enthusiastically, "Sion may take a while. But I know what he likes to eat, so no worry, I will just order for him as well, and we don't have to wait for him."

Alex glanced at Aurora and then he helped her pull the chair out.

Only then did Nevaeh notice the injury on Alex's face, and she looked surprised, "Oh! What happened?"

Alex touched the corner of his mouth, "I accidentally bumped into something just now. It's okay, it was just a small injury."

Speaking of what happened just now, Aurora couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, Alex was involved in this vortex innocently. He was beaten like this inexplicably, and yet he didn't blame anyone for it. She found Nevaeh wanted to continue asking about it, so she changed the conversation topic, "What did you order? I'm really a little hungry already. May I have a look at the menu first?"

As Aurora expected, Nevaeh stopped talking about what happened just now, instead, she handed her the menu by the side of her hand and said, "I ordered a few random dished already. Take of look and order whatever you want. I'm treating you today, so feel free to order."

Aurora nodded with a smile. But she was a little absent-minded after taking the menu.

The waiter next to her started giving recommendations enthusiastically, "This dish is our chef-recommend. It is spicy and refreshing. Would you like to have a try?"

Aurora was a person who loved spicy food. Hearing what she said, she really felt the hunger. She smiled and said, "Then I will have this."

When Nevaeh heard this, a different emotion flashed within her eyes quickly and slightly. Suddenly, she said, "Take your time to order, I'll go and see if Sion is ready." After seeing the other two nodding their heads, she got up and left.

After Nevaeh returned to the room, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Sion sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, unable to tell of his present emotion. She said, "Sion." She walked over and asked, "Didn't you agree to have dinner with Aurora and Alex? They are there already. Let's go down now?"

Only then did Sion's eyes move. He stood up and went to the bathroom. Nevaeh watched his back, and the smile on her face disappeared.

After a while, the waiters started to serve the dishes one after another and then Nevaeh and Sion appeared. From time to time, Nevaeh turned her head and talked to Sion. Sion also tilted his head slightly and listened very carefully.

Aurora pretended to be calm and took a sip of water from the cup, drifting her sight to the outside of the window.

Sion had changed into a casual suit. Now he was well-dressed. In contrast, the hostility he showed when facing Alex earlier seemed like a hallucination. Sion sat down next to Nevaeh, looking at Alex inadvertently. Although the looks on their face were not friendly, they tacitly understood each other and neither of them planned to mention what just happened.

Seeing them like this, Aurora knew the reason Sion behaved as if nothing had happened was obvious, he didn't want others, especially Nevaeh, to know about his relationship with her. She doubted that when he blurted it out earlier, it was just an impulse for the sake of the so-called man's face and dignity. For a moment, Aurora felt everything was a little ridiculous.

There was a false harmonious atmosphere around the dinner table. Nevaeh picked up some spicy food in her bowl, thinking that she should replace a topic to talk about.

"Do you know? Basically, all the doctors at our exchange meeting today are outstanding."

"

Aurora lowered her head and keep eating, looking like she was extremely hungry.

Alex showed some interest. He put down the knife and fork and said, "Really? Then you can participate means that you are also outstanding."

Nevaeh smiled, turned her head, and looked at Sion with shining bright eyes and said, "Today, many seniors are praising Sion. Others may not be able to achieve such achievements at the age of 40. He achieved such them when he is not yet 30. He is outstanding."

Listening to her admiring compliment, Aurora didn't stop chewing, but she felt that the spicy food in her mouth was not so good anymore.

Alex looked at them and smiled for some inexplicable reason, which was hard to tell whether he envied them or he meant something else.

Sion drank his soup slowly, looking like they were not talking about him.

Nevaeh turned back and looked at Aurora, "Are you here to participate in a competition?"

Aurora put down the knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a tissue, nodded and said, "The competition is tomorrow. So after dinner, I'm going back to draw some draft first."

"I see. Good luck then!" Nevaeh encouraged them and then asked, "Do you have extra tickets? Give us two. I haven't been to the scene to watch this kind of competition. It must be very interesting, and I will give you a boost by then."

Aurora sighed inwardly and she was about to refuse her.

But Alex said first, "Sorry," and he showed a very embarrassed expression, "This competition is not open to the public, and we do not have the authority to get tickets either."

He said to refuse Nevaeh, for the sake of Aurora, so that she wouldn't need to feel embarrassed.

"I see" Nevaeh nodded regretfully. But then her face suddenly turned slightly pale. She bent down, curled up a bit, covered her stomach with her hands, and even her breathing became short and fast, "Sion, my, my stomach suddenly hurts."

Sion's expression changed, and he quickly got up and walked to her side. "What's going on?" Without medical equipment, he could only check briefly by pressing Nevaeh's stomach a few times.

Alex and Aurora saw that her face was pale because of pain. They were also a little worried and stood up to see if there was anything they could do to help.

Nevaeh started feeling a throbbing pain in her stomach. She grabbed Sion's wrist tightly, "Sion, I need to take my medicine right now. I have some in my suitcase in my room upstairs."

Sion frowned, helped her lie down on the sofa beside him, took his coat off and covered her with it. He said in a deep voice, "Lie down and wait for me." Before leaving, he gave a look to Aurora and Alex, asking them to keep an eye on her.

No matter how uncomfortable Aurora felt, she knew what was the priority. She poured Nevaeh a cup of warm water, fed her a sip, and comforted her, "He'll be back soon, just stay strong."

After a while, Sion came back with the medicine and fed it to Nevaeh immediately. Seeing that Nevaeh's face got better, he finally asked, "What's going on?"

Nevaeh glanced at the dish with a layer of chilli floating on it in the middle of the dining table weakly. She whispered, "Maybe it is because of that dish is too spicy for me. I thought that it would be okay to taste a little bit of a chef-recommend dish."

Sion's eyes turned cold and he asked, "Who ordered it?"
