Sion stared at her with burning eyes. He asked curiously and slowly, "it seems you are hiding something?"
Aurora's heart skipped a beat at his closing good-looking face.
Was he trying to get words out of her?
"Nope," Aurora pretended to be composed. "I'm just worried about father, that's all."
"Then take it if you are not hiding anything. Don't worry about father, I will look after him."
"I'm a bit of a coward about pain!"
"Take it easy. You may close your eyes."
Aurora got so nervous that her hands were sweating and her fingertips went white by forceful clenching.
Aurora was on tenterhooks by his glare.
All right, forget it!
What she had to do first was to solve this immediate problem. She might be able to make up for it later!
She stretched her hand and responded firmly, "as you wish!"
...
It was already night when all the checkups were completed. Sion was always with her to take care of her.
"Do you want to visit your father? I will be okay to stay alone now..."
Lying in the bed, Aurora still felt cold though she had already been tucked.
She was still worried that Sion would get the report secretly.
"I just asked the doctor and he said my father is in a stable condition and still doesn't wake up." Sion was watching his phone, he looked up and glanced at her, "don't worry. Father isn't far from us."
Aurora, "..."
She really wanted to tell him that he didn't have to stay by her side! He should start to deal with his work!
But these words were suspicious so she just yelled them out in her mind.
What she could do was wait patiently here while trying to find a solution, as a criminal waiting for a sentence.
How to send him up with an excuse?!
"It's about time," Sion put down the phone and stood up. "Stay here. I'm taking the reports back."
Aurora called out when he was about to get to the door, "wait!"
Sion was a bit surprised about her urgent voice, "what's up?"
"I'm with you!" Aurora was so flustered. She flung off the cover at once and was about to get up.
"You'd better stay where you are before we know the result."
Sion went back and stopped her. He continued, "or do you want to be a blockhead?"
"..."
Sion tucked the quilt for her again, "stay here. I'll be back soon."
Aurora was so indulged in his warm smell that only when Sion went out of the room did she realized she had to stop him.
Aurora rent her hair out in regret. She was done!
Sion would surely know that she was pregnant!
Minutes passed by. Aurora was suffering from waiting until the steady footsteps came from outside. The door was opened.
Aurora buried herself in the quilt. She had her heart in her mouth. She couldn't even imagine what would happen to her next.
"It's late. I only get the head CT scan report today. The report for a general physical checkup is accessible tomorrow morning."
...
Aurora had a sound sleep last night. She slept until the dawn of day without any dreams.
She turned to be wide awake at once at a glance of an erect figure beside the bed when she woke up.
"What time is it?"
"It's 8 o'clock," Sion put her breakfast down on the bedside cupboard. " It's time to get up. Have your breakfast after washing up. I'm taking the last report back."
"Now?"
It was still early in the morning now.
She hadn't come up with an idea to send him away after a sound sleep!
"Yup. It is accessible now," Sion buttoned his cuff. He thought Aurora was still sleepy. "It's okay to get some sleep if you want. I've visited father so don't worry about him."
"No, I don't."
It was such a morning surprise to Aurora. She must have stayed up late if she had known it!
"Did... did you have a good sleep? How about getting some rest? You can sleep on my bed."
She just wanted to keep him stay with her, or anything that could send him away as long as he failed to get the report!
Fortunately, Sion's phone rang. Her wish might be heard by God.
"Your phone is ringing, Sion."
He finally picked it up after staring at Aurora for a while.
"Hello?"
Nevaeh's voice came with fear, "Sion... could you please come over now? I have something urgent to tell you."
