Chapter 68 She Didn’t Even Think About Contraception
“Are you OK? Feel uncomfortable? You look pale.”
Coming to her sense, Aurora Robertson looked up to glance at Sion Carroll. And he…
He asked that was she OK.
Oh, did he forget what he did last night?
Whatever. She felt that if Sion had chosen to play the fool and pretend to forget what had happened last night, it would make her look cheesy if she was still hung up on it.
“Nothing.” Aurora shook her head and said, “I only asked for the morning off, and have to go back to the office this afternoon. Well, I guess I should go.”
Finishing her words, she turned and left.
When Sion was heading to the ward, however, he saw Ariana Knowles hurry out and find him, then she said in a worried voice, “I don’t know how it happened, but your dad’s illness has got out in the press. Now the news is all about the Carroll Group. I’m afraid it’ll affect the stock and the big cooperation projects we have.”
Hearing Ariana say this, the darkness hidden between Sion’s brows grew a little deeper.
He looked at his father in the ward, waiting for the car to pick him up. His father now had a distinctly ill look on his face, quite different from his usual appearance of competence.
“Ariana, don’t worry. I’ll deal with it… as soon as possible.”
Ariana was stunned for a moment, not expecting that her stepson, who had always been reluctant to manage the company, would carry the burden at this point.
After all, he was Bailey’s only son. Even if his heart was not in the Carroll Group, he was still the successor of this company.
“Well, then you’re gonna have to temporarily stop your work at the hospital.”
While saying that, she looked at Sion with probing eyes.
Actually, Ariana really didn’t want to force him to do something he didn’t like. But… there was really no other way now.
“Yes, make yourself easy, I’ll take care of it.”
…
After leaving the hospital, Aurora took a taxi to her office.
Recently, she had been asked for leave too often and felt it would be unreasonable for her not to go to work this afternoon.
It was the afternoon rush hour, and the elevator was full. So she stood outside the elevator waiting for the next chance.
On Albie Doyle’s side, he had seen that familiar figure while he was still outside the revolving door.
With a smile on his lips, he remembered the day he first came to the company and saw the same figure… It turned out that that woman was his Aurora.
Albie walked toward Aurora while Cory Bird, behind him, thought his CEO was trying to squeeze into the elevator with his employees. Cory wondered if he wanted to experience the ordinary life of the employees.
When Cory looked closer, he finally realized that it was because Aurora was there.
At this moment, the elevator arrived on the first floor. As Aurora looked in a certain direction in a trance, a charming male voice sounded behind her, “Here is the lift.”
With quivering eyes, she looked back and then said with surprise and pleasure, “Albie!”
Watching her smile, Albie couldn’t help but reach out and pet her head fondly, “The lift is already here, you little dumb.”
“… I didn’t notice.”
Feeling sort of embarrassed, Aurora followed him into the elevator.
When the elevator door closed, they were alone in the narrow space.
“Are you done with your business?”
“Ah?” She was stunned for a moment before she understood what Albie said, and then her eyes blinked, “No…”
Not only did she stay married, but Sion’s dad got sick.
The emotion in her voice turned depressed unconsciously, “My… nominal dad, he was diagnosed with advanced HCC today.”
Nominal dad? Wasn’t her nominal father Bailey Carroll, president of the Carroll Group?
Albie was shocked. Because he remembered seeing Bailey yesterday at a wedding and that he was in high spirits at the time, but…
Albie thought that it was really a trick of fate. It just all happened so suddenly.
“Don’t take it so hard. The medicine now is developed, and cancer may be cured.”
“But… he refused to be treated.”
At this point, Aurora shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, “Albie… I’m afraid I’m not able to move in with you for a while, because I want to move into Carroll Manor… with my nominal dad and mum. They’re very nice to me, and I want to do my filial duty and help take care of my dad.”
Until now, Aurora still had not decided how to tell her brother about this matter, how to tell him about her complicated relationship with Sion.
And Albie didn’t think much of it. His thin lips curled into a smile, “You should do this. Take care of yourself.”
Then he seemed to remember something, and smiled again, “In fact, I kind of met your nominal brother before. We can have dinner with him sometime.”

Pausing for a few seconds, Aurora realized he was talking about Sion.
She looked away with a sort of guilt and began to weigh the pros and cons in her mind.
In the end, she chose to continue to keep it a secret, only to give a mirthless smile and say, “Great, when we are at leisure.”
That evening, Aurora and Sion moved back to Carroll Manor. And Sion had explained his situation to the hospital, and the hospital decided to maintain his position but stop paying him his salary.
Meanwhile, he also told his father’s assistant to have a board meeting tomorrow morning.
Aurora was clear that Sion was an outstanding person. Whether he was a doctor or a CEO, he always did his best.
Maybe that was why she liked him. Because almost everyone liked this outstanding man.
It was a pity that her affection for him had come to an end.
They sat side by side at the dinner table. Bailey and Ariana glanced at them from time to time in an eerily harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, Bailey put down his knife and fork and sighed with great emotion, “You two have moved back, and Sion has been back to the company as a CEO, which can really relieve me… If you can hurry up to have a baby, and if I can hear my grandchild call me grandpa while I still alive, then I really have no regrets.”
At his words, Ariana’s swollen eyes turned red again and she reached out to wipe her tears, “Stop saying discouraging words. That day will surely come.”
Sion said nothing to this but pressed his thin lips into a straight line. His dark eyes were as mysterious as night.
And Aurora just looked down. If Bailey hadn’t mentioned the baby thing, she would forget an event completely!
Last night… Sion didn’t seem to wear a condom!
Her heart did a flip. Last night she had sex for the first time, and the next day she was busy with divorce and going to the hospital. So she couldn’t remember to take contraceptives.
And it was now past the effective time to take contraceptives. Would she…
“What are you about there, Eh?”
A man’s deep voice was in her ear. Aurora raised her eyes and her eyes met his gaze…
