Chapter 29 I’ll Find Him for You
Sion texted her and went into the operating room. This surgery would last long till the middle of the night. And he was going to take a nap in the office after the job.
Grabbing the phone, Aurora decided not to text him back. She couldn’t find fault with him on this point. He’d never forgotten her father’s death day. Every year on this day, he would go to the cemetery with her and mourn her father without being asked, and he would have got everything ready.
But they had fallen out. How could she count on him again? Anyway, she must learn to deal with it alone.
Sion’s operation lasted till five in the morning. Nevaeh went in to assist him.
“It’s dawn. Would you like to join me for breakfast?” Nevaeh went out of the operating room with him, shoulder to shoulder. It was a long night. But she was high in spirit when looking at Sion.
“I’m afraid not.” Sion rubbed his neck a little and looked very tired and sleepy, “Today is Professor Robertson’s death anniversary.”
He was supposed to mourn him in the cemetery no matter who he was to him.
“Oh, I see.”
Nevaeh nodded and asked, “Can I go with you?”
Nevaeh said again before Sion could say anything in reply, “I wasn’t there in the final hours of his life and I didn’t attend his funeral either. God. I feel so guilty. Anyhow, I should go mourn him. ”
Sion paused his steps to glance at her, then said, “OK.”
He returned to his office and checked his phone again and again.
Aurora didn’t text him back.
He tried calling her but remembered she was still sleeping at this hour.
But, no matter what, she wouldn’t forget her father’s death anniversary.
Well, Aurora did remember it. But she just didn’t want to go with Sion.
She got up early in the morning and went to the cemetery alone, trying to be the first one to mourn her father this year.
The green plants on the roadsides were covered in dew, which had wet her clothes when she passed. Aurora looked up towards the cemetery and went absentminded. After a while, she began walking up the steps. Every time she came here, she walked up from the foot of the mountain.
Meanwhile, a black luxury car stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. A tall man got out of the car, and he looked extremely serious in a tailor-made, black suit.
His assistant gave a bunch of begonia flowers to Albie Doyle and asked, “Mr Doyle, do you want me to go with you?”
Albie looked at the begonia flowers gloomily and said, “No. Just wait here.”
Then he strode over into the cemetery and found Toby’s gravestone quickly.
In the photo, Toby was wearing a very kind smile, looking like he was still alive.
“I’m back. How are you?”
Albie put the bouquet of begonias in front of his tomb, stared at his photo and looked sad.
“It took long for me to come back. You must be very disappointed, right?”
“But I won’t run again. I’ll face it. I’ll… I’ll find Aurora.”
Albie spoke on and off but left without staying for too long. He went over to his car. Aurora had just turned when the driver closed the door for him. So, they didn’t see each other.
Aurora saw a bouquet in front of her father’s gravestone and wondered who had brought it here. She came closer and was stunned.
Looking at the begonias, she couldn’t stop trembling.
Begonias? Why the begonias? Even Sion didn’t know what begonias meant to them. There were only two people in this world who knew a secret of begonias, Aurora and the man, whom her father had brought home in the season when begonias were in blossom.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Was he back?
Thinking of it, she turned back and looked around.
It was dawn. She could only see a black car driving away slowly.
Through the window, she seemed to see someone she knew.
Before Aurora realized what to do, she had run up in the direction where the car left immediately. No! She just couldn’t let him leave like that!
Meanwhile, Sion and Nevaeh came from the other side and suddenly heard someone running fast. Sion raised his head and happened to see Aurora’s anxious face, looking like she was running after someone.
Not looking where she was going, Aurora was thinking of catching up and stopping Albie from leaving. He finally showed up. She couldn’t let him disappear again.
Accidentally, she ran into two people and they turned out to be Nevaeh and Sion. Both of them were in black suits, which made them a cute couple. The bouquet was something like a decoration for them.
But Aurora wasn’t in the mood of caring. She went past them and kept running. The car was nearly out of sight.
Sion seized her by the arm, “Where are you going?”
“Don’t stand in my way!”
Aurora looked into the distance and struggled to shake Sion’s hand off, “Let go!… I saw him! I saw him!”
He would be gone if she didn’t catch up.
Sion heard that and frowned, “Who did you see?”
Aurora knocked his hand off and tried to leave. But Sion stood in her way and blocked her.
“Can you just stand out of my way? Where am I supposed to find him if he’s gone?”
“I’ll find him for you.” Sion still grabbed her hand with concern, “Tell me who you’ve seen?”
Nevaeh cut in abruptly, “Aurora. Who are you looking for? We can help.”
She was curious.
Aurora stared towards the gate of the cemetery and thought it was a waste of time talking to them. So she struggled to get rid of Sion and shouted, “Let go of me! He’s back! I can’t let him leave like that!”
Sion was frozen and suddenly realized who she was talking about-the man she had been obsessing about was finally back.
