Chapter 94 Avada’s Death
What was worse, she would be deemed unreasonable once she revealed a bit of grievance.
“Well…” Aurora was rendered rather dispirited. She continued with her head down, “I know it. But it’s getting late now…I wanna stay with him for one more night. After feeding him the pills tomorrow morning, I will let you send him back.”
“One more thing. Be careful about his gastric problems. Tell Neveah about that.” After that, Aurora walked inside with Avada without paying Sion one more glance.
Avada seemed to notice something unusual. He whimpered and then looked back to Sion as if he were complaining.
Looking frustrated, he then followed behind Aurora with ears slouching on top of his head.
Watching both of them, Sion actually felt like being haunted by greater scruple, which had been lasting to the next day.
In the next morning, Aurora walked over to Sion and handed over the leash to him.
She struggled to hold back her reluctance.
“I have him fed with pills. Take him to Neveah’s. One more thing. Remember to feed him soft food. Make sure she will know that.” After that, she turned around to head back to the dining room. But then she suddenly stopped.
“Oh, by the way, I dumped all his belongs. Now he’s gonna return to his real owner. I suppose Nevaeh will buy him something new.” Her voice remained composed as if nothing had happened.
Under Sion’s gaze, she continued with her breakfast.
Her composure and impassive expression somehow got Sion annoyed.
So he hurried to leave with the dog.
“Hey…” Ariana happened to walk over to the table with milk. She looked a bit confused, “He’s not gonna finish his breakfast?”
Aurora continued with a piece of bread while answering, “Perhaps he’s heading for an urgent appointment.”
When the doorbell rang, Neveah was ready for breakfast.
While clearing her hands with a piece of tissue, she watched the door and wondering who was gonna pay such an early visit in the morning.
Soon, she got thrilled as soon as she opened the door.
“Sion!” with great excitement, she stepped aside to spare some room for him to enter, “I didn’t expect you to visit so early. Have you got some breakfast?”
“Not yet.” He simply replied, looking a bit distracted, “I am here to bring you the dog. You said you wanna continue to keep him, right?”
Then he strode in. However, Avada flinched backward, whimpering as if he didn’t want to enter.
He appeared sad but stubborn.
Sion felt like he somewhat acted just like Aurora.
“Really? I am really happy about his arrival! Now I finally have my own pet to spend some time with.” Greatly excited, she bent over to hug Avada, “Harry, do you miss mommy? I miss you so much!”
But Avada actually dodged her and barked.
Stunned, she felt like being overwhelmed with anger.
However, as Sion was still standing beside, she gotta hold it back.
“What happened…”
“Perhaps he still stays alert after being taken to a new place. He will let down his guard after a few days.”
“Okay…” she stood up, looking frustrated, “I thought he had forgot about me.”
Frowning, Sion handed over the leash to her, “Don’t be bothered. You’re his real owner. He won’t forget about you.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
While watching Avada lying prone in frustration, she could tell it was exactly the dog she used to keep though he looked much different from his puppy time.
Commonly speaking, dogs had been loyal. He wouldn’t be likely to forget about her, she reckoned.
Just like Sion, she believed she was destined to capture his heart and no one should take it away from her.
“But you gotta buy some new belongs for him.”
“Okay, I’ll do it later.”
With affection brewing within her eyes, she nervously fiddled with the leash, “You haven’t had breakfast, right? I just prepared some food for breakfast. Come and have some before going to the office.”
But Sion seemed rather distraught. He didn’t even take a glance inside.
“No, thanks. I got a meeting in the morning. I gotta go now.” Then he turned around to walk away. But then he stopped to continue, “He still hasn’t recovered from gastric problems. Aurora had him fed with pills. Don’t feed him in 12 hours and remember to keep him away from cold food.”
“Okay…” before she could figure out any excuse to convince him to stay, he had walked into the elevator.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He actually paid this early visit just to bring her the dog?
He didn’t even spend one more minute talking to her.
Biting her owns lips, she was rendered rather displeased.
She had no idea how Aurora managed to make herself the focus of Sion.
He should only belong to her all alone, she believed!
What was worse, Avada suddenly started barking louder and louder, who seemed to be annoyed.
“What the hell are you barking for?” driven by great impatience, she shouted. Then she grabbed the leash to lead him into the living room.
She didn’t compose herself until quite a while later. After washing her hands, she returned to the table to continue with her breakfast.
However, Avada kept on barking louder and louder while rushing around and pawing with his claws.
He seemed to be growing more and more annoyance.
Neveah found it rather intolerable. She put down the knife and fork and walked over.
“Stop barking!”
She felt like being overwhelmed with dizziness.
He would probably start to smash around her place a few minutes later, she reckoned.
But still, he kept on barking as if he were facing something dangerous.
“I said stop barking!” with hands wrapped around her head, she tried to shout louder than his bark.
However, it didn’t work. Avada’s bark actually grew stronger.
It didn’t even look like a kind of alert against a new environment.
Her face went twisted out of madness. Then she tried to reach out her hand to stop him.
However, Avada kept on barking and even showed a signal to attack when seeing her reaching out her hand.
“How dare you!” she couldn’t help gasping in anger, “You do recognize that bitch as your only owner, huh?”
It was she who paid for the dog. But now he was gonna attack her?
Avada seemed to tell what she was talking about. He actually raised up his tail with great alert.
“Damn it!” Nevaeh couldn’t help flinching. Gritting out of madness, she didn’t dare to take further action.
How dared that bitch take away both her man and dog!
It must be Aurora who turned the dog into this, she believed.
It suddenly occurred to her that according to Sion, Aurora had fed him with pills this morning.
Something evil started brewing within her eyes. Watching the dog maintaining an attacking posture, she huffed, “You fucking bastard!”
…
Meanwhile, Sion was busy with his work in the office.
“Mr. Carroll, this is the financial report for the last quarter. Please have it signed to confirm.”
As soon as his assistant handed over the files, Sion’s phone started buzzing.
He nodded and picked up the phone while browsing the files.
But then, he was stunned upon hearing Nevah crying.
“Nevaeh…”
“Sion…” Nevaeh sobbed helplessly, “Harry…Harry is frothing at his mouth! He doesn’t look good! He seems…he seems to be dying!”
Sion hurried to close the files folder and stood up, “Have you taken him to the vet’s?”
“Yeah, I am on my way! Sion, come and help me!”
“Okay.” Sion then beckoned at his assistant and hurried to leave.
When he arrived at the vet’s, Neveah rushed over to bury herself into his arms in desperate tears.
“Sion…we just…we just lost Harry!”
Frowning, Sion didn’t expect this to happen.
With Neveah crying in his arms, he didn’t walk inside until she composed herself a bit. Then he saw the body of Avada.
“What happened?”
“He got gastric problems and highly allergic to pills. As far as we can tell, he died of drug poisoning.”
Shocked, Sion felt like his arms’ muscle flexing all of a sudden with Nevaeh holding one of his arms besides.
Drug poisoning?
He still remembered Aurora had fed him with pills this morning.
At the thought of that, he couldn’t help growing some suspicion.
