Chapter 66 Sion Said He Wouldn’t Regret It Anymore
Bailey Carroll was sent out of the emergency to the ICU by nurses. And it wasn’t long before he came out.
“… Bailey!”
Crying, Ariana Knowles threw herself in front of him. At this moment she completely disregarded how she looked, she was just a wife who was heart-breaking about her husband’s illness.
Aurora Robertson and Sion Carroll stood nearby. Looking at their wax-looking father in the hospital bed, they were silent.
“Don’t cry.” Bailey reached out and smoothed Ariana’s hair, saying in a soft voice, “Or the kids will laugh at us.”
Watching this scene, Aurora felt she was overwhelmed by sadness.
How did it come to this? She and Sion had their wedding that just like happened yesterday, and they should happily be with each other forever. But now…
Standing up, Ariana wiped off tears and said angrily, “It’s all because of you! I always told you to drink less, but you never listened to me! Great, the result is you’re in the hospital now!”
“… Yeah, it’s my fault. You’re the boss from now on, okay?”
Bailey smiled, which meant, obviously, he knew and received the fact that he had got advanced HCC.
After comforting his wife, he glanced at his son and daughter-in-law standing nearby.
Noticing their clothes that made them look like they were going to attend some formal events, Bailey frowned as he remembered what he had heard yesterday.
“Where… are you going, dressed like that?”
Stunned for an instant, Aurora didn’t expect Bailey would ask this question at all.
They were not going anywhere, because they just came from there.
Unfortunately, they didn’t finish their divorce proceeding, and she didn’t know if they could go back to the court and continue it later.
So, at this point, she had no idea how to respond and unconsciously glanced at Sion.
But Sion didn’t show any facial expression or care about his dad’s question.
Seeing them saying nothing, Bailey realized what they were heading to.
Then he took a deep breath and said angrily but weakly, “I know you two want to divorce, I heard it yesterday!”
Aurora was shocked. What…
Well, Now that Bailey had heard that they wanted a divorce, she didn’t seem to have to hide it any longer.
“Sion, I told you I don’t allow you to divorce, I…”
But his words were cut short by Sion,
“We just came from the court.”
“What?” Now, instead of worrying about his own body condition, he was irritated by Sion’s words.
“You… you mean you have divorced?”
Seeing that Bailey was out of breath at once, Aurora hurriedly said, “No… We haven’t signed yet. Then we got the phone call and be here… Dad, please don’t be angry, for the sick of your body you can’t…”
But before she could finish, Bailey had pointed his finger at his son, and his arm was shaking.
“Sion, are you trying to piss me off because I’m not dying fast enough?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Then why you want to divorce Aurora? How dare you sign it! I won’t allow it!”
Obviously, Bailey was so mad that Ariana was afraid that his condition would get worse because of anger, so she hastily caught Sion’s hand and hinted that he should say no more. Standing nearby, Aurora also did not dare to speak. The only sound that came from the ward was Bailey’s anger.
“Where else can you find a good girl like Aurora? Well, you want to divorce and be with other women? I tell you, Those unsavory women won’t be part of our family forever!”
Although Bailey didn’t name someone, anyone with a discerning eye could understand he was implied Nevaeh Burns.
Thinking of the thing between him and Nevaeh last night, Sion frowned and said in a low voice, “I didn’t want this. The divorce was decided by both of us.”
Now that he said it was their joint decision, Aurora lost her last words to refute.
Indeed, she was the one who asked for a divorce first.
“Dad…” She said quietly, “Actually, I have been asking for a divorce for a really long time. I never have something with Sion, you know that.”
“Aurora, you…” Not caring, Bailey only believed she was supporting Sion now by saying this. He wondered when his son would see his real intentions.
Now that he was dying, he didn’t care that he would be known as a bad dad.
“Anyway, I don’t agree with you two getting a divorce! Now that you don’t sign the paper, you’re still a legitimate couple. If you don’t want me to die soon, then stop talking about divorce!”
“…”
For a moment Aurora didn’t know what to say. Because she was clear that Bailey was a stubborn man.
Looking at Sion, she discovered that there was something disappointed and dark in his eyes. She thought that he must be helpless.
Was he regretting that he didn’t sign first just now?
Then Aurora tore her gaze and dropped her eyes quietly.
Seizing the chance, Bailey added, “You two, give me your marriage license and passport.”
Aurora didn’t understand immediately, but then she realized that he wanted to take away their personal documents.
Certainly, a sick old man was childish, but she had to say that this kind of childishness grabbed each other’s throats.
Not saying anything and being silent for a few seconds, Sion handed his personal documents to Bailey.
Bailey put their documents under his pillow and looked at them, “If you still want a divorce, you’d better perish that thought as soon as possible. If I’m dead, then it’s none of my business anymore. But you’re not even thinking about getting a divorce if I’m still alive!”
Hearing Bailey’s words, Ariana pretended to be angry and hit him softly, “Will you stop saying bad things?”
And she looked at Aurora and Sion, “Well, as you can see, his condition isn’t good, so let’s not make him mad, okay? Besides, why do you have to divorce when you two are so good together?”
Hearing Ariana’s words, Aurora chose to be silent.
Did she really be good with Sion?
Her sight joined with Sion’s. For this instant, she saw what seemed to be a string of strange light in his eyes, and she immediately looked away.
With inquisitive eyes wandering over Aurora and Sion, Ariana started to smooth things over when she thought the time was ripe and said in a soft voice, “After all, you’re a couple. What difficulty can’t you overcome? Sion, your dad is looking out for you, and you don’t want to regret it until you actually miss her, do you?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Sion compressed his thin lips and questioned Ariana’s words of miss and regret.
Because he believed that he wouldn’t regret it anymore.
