Chapter 98 Slap on Nevaeh

"How could you...how could you do so?"

The fury in Aurora's heart was losing control; the recollection of Avada filled in her mind. She questioned, "This is an innocent dog. If you dislike it you can just abandon it. Why...?"

She failed to utter the fact which hurt and degusted her.

As a doctor, how could Nevaeh deprive a life that easily?

"Innocent?"

Lifting her eyebrows, Nevaeh gazed at Aurora malignantly, without a trial to cover her emotion, said, "I should say you are a good instructor indeed."

"Though I was the one who paid for it, it disliked me, even in an attempt to bite me."

"Why should I keep such a vicious betrayer? I am its owner, isn't it? Of course its life is in my hand."

"You..."

Aurora could never imagine such spiteful words from Nevaeh. "How could you be that malicious? That's a life!"

Didn't she admit that Avada was her dog? How could she treat it so cruelly?

Great Heaven.

Other than a touch of guilty, Nevaeh looked like a spiteful winner.

"Malicious?"

Nevaeh teased, "Shall I just sit and wait for it to bite myself? If so, you must be pleased."

Aurora gnashed, "Don't you fear that I will reveal it before Sion?"

"Go, just tell him," Nevaeh was amused and added, "Tell him that I poisoned the dog, and see if he, your husband, believe it or not."

Nevaeh intentionally emphasized Your Husband with significant satire.

Aurora pressed her lips and did not retort.

How could the man who had questioned her so bitterly last night believe her?

"There must be cause-effect!" Aurora said, gazing at Nevaeh coldly, "Return Avada's bone ash to me."

With a venomous smile, Nevaeh teased, "Cause effect? I'm not sure. But I'm sure that I won't return it to you, because I need to bring it to date with Sion."

"You bitch...!"

Aurora was never angrier than today. The cruelness turned Nevaeh into a chilling demon other than flesh and blood.

How could Nevaeh fake so kind and nice before?

Avada...

The recollection brought pain and tears to Aurora who suddenly lifted her hand and slapped on Nevaeh's face forcefully. "How...," Nevaeh said, swallowing down the rest of the sentence which should have been How dare you.

Without expectation that Aurora, such a gentle girl, might beat her abruptly, Nevaeh was pissed off and swore in silence.

But the glimpse of a figure drawing nearer stopped her, and she quickly shifted the hostility into softness, and elevated her hand to cover on the face, with tears beginning to well. "Aurora, I can understand you're upset for Harry's death for you nursed it so long, and you must lay the blame on my negligence that causes it death. I won't complain it."

Nevaeh's inversion stunned Aurora.

"Nevaeh, you..."

"Aurora, what do you want this time?"A somber voice from behind interrupted.

She turned back and found Sion gazing at her unpleasantly, with a frosty face,

Well, that was the reason, the audience in place.

"I come to bring Avada back."

Sion glimpsed at Nevaeh, upset and helpless, with a red, clear finger marks on her face.

Then he turned his sight to Aurora, calm but stubborn.

He frowned and asked Aurora, "You slapped on her?"

Aurora turned and looked into the man's eyes, said, "Yes, I did."

Shouldn't she?

The woman, fake and venomous, was the murderer.

But Aurora got tired of debunking for nobody would believe it.

She did not want to fight them any longer, and turned back to Nevaeh, ordering, "Give it back to me!"

"I...I...," Nevaeh murmured, stirring her clothes helplessly before turning to the man besides, "Sion..." Nevaeh's call drew back the attention of Sion who was distracted by the alienation he read in Aurora's eyes. "Nevaeh is the owner of Avada. You came so early just to ask for its bone ash?"

Sion said decisively, "Apologize to Nevaeh for your rudeness."

Aurora sneered, "Why should I?"

Other than bothering herself to respond the man, Aurora shifted her sight back to Nevaeh and drew nearer, threatening, "I repeat it once more. Give it back to me!" Nevaeh, with faking fear, leaned towards the man.

Misunderstanding that Aurora would pose another slapping, Sion dragged her hand and pushed her aside, howling, "Aurora, stop! Are you crazy?"

Aurora did not expect his sudden motion and ran into the shoe cabinet behind.

She grew pale under the sudden pain on the waist, but suppressed it soundlessly.

Holding Sion's arm, Nevaeh said, "Sion, stop. Don't blame on her. She must be too upset for Harry."

Sion watched the finger mark on Nevaeh's face and comforted, "Apply some ice on it later."

Then he looked back to Aurora beside the cabinet, accusing, "That is too much for Nevaeh for she is the victim. And she never accused you, and how can you challenge her like that?" Aurora even slapped on Nevaeh. If Nevaeh decided to pursue the matter, Aurora might face the police.

The couple before seemed rather sweet. Nevaeh leaned pitifully at the side of Sion. She was more terrible than Aurora's imagination.

"Well, Sion, you have eyes but you don't see!"

Maybe this was normal for the ones in love. Even he knew the real Nevaeh, it made no difference for he loved her.

The pain on the waist lessened, while the one in the heart worsened.

She stood up, tried best to ignore the chilling pain, watched them and gnashed, "The only thing I want is Avada. She doesn't deserve it!"

Nenaeh Burns was the killer.

Sion gazed at her as if to penetrate her.

"Sion..."

Nevaeh dragged his sleeves and said, "Let's do as she wants."

Aurora's stubbornness surprised Nevaeh. But compromise seemed to be a smarter solution, for one thing, it could at least dwarf her image in Sion's conception; for the other, she worried Aurora might debunk her if she insisted the fight, then it might be troublesome.

Sion turned and glanced at her silently.

"Wait, Aurora... Let me take the box for you."

Nevaeh seemed fearful and retreated to her room with her head burying down.

"What makes you like this?"

Aurora looked at the man who gazed at her annoyingly.

"Like what?"

She was amused and retorted, "Sion, you cannot be more self-righteous than that. Do you know Nevaeh..."

"Aurora!" Nevaeh disturbed, appearing with the box and after a slight swallowing, she added in sorrow, "I hope you can...have Harry rest in peace." Aurora glimpse at Nevaeh, fetched the box, turned around watching the man and said, "Sometimes, don't trust what you see when judging a person." Then she turned around, leaving the couple behind, careless about how they thought about her.
