It was indeed a forceful p.


    Ariana immediately changed the topic, “how’s your father?”


    “In a stable condition for now.”


    Sion looked at the doctor next to him and frowned, “but we still have to see the follow-up situation.”


    Dr Ward added, “yes, The next week is crucial for him.”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Saying no more, everyone present knew clearly what he meant.


    The atmosphere went heavy all of a sudden. Ariana grabbed Aurora’s hand tightly with a pale face, “thank you, doctor.”


    “Never mind.”


    Sion nodded, turned back and looked at Ariana, “thank you, Ariana. I’ll stay here to take care of him. You can go back with Aurora and have a good rest.”


    Ariana shook her head, “no…”


    “Since he has arranged it, let’s get back Mrs Carroll.”


    Aurora interrupted Ariana and took her hand. She didn’t look at Sion, “let’s head home. We will have a bath and clean the house to wee father back if he could wake up tomorrow.”


    Ariana looked at her and asked, “… will we?”


    “Sure,” then she took her turn around and went away, “there have been enough people taking care of father here. Isn’t he a doctor? He’s a better candidate for this job.”


    Aurora didn’t give any look at Sion even when they left.


    Staring at the empty corridor, Sion’s face changed and his eyes grew cloudy as the dim night.


    He sat down on the chair nearby, flung back his head and closed his eyes. He pursed his lips and kept silent for a long time.


    Later, he called his assistant and his voice returned to cold and leaden.


    “Block all of the information about my father’s illness online and in mypany at all costs. Inform the media to do the same as well.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    “I’ll be busy with the stuff in the hospital,” Sion looked at the man with a respirator, “in the following days I might be in the hospital so I’ll leave thepany for you. You may contact me in the hospital if anything happened.”


    Sion hung up, rubbed his forehead and drew a long sigh of relief silently.


    …


    Aurora helped Ariana to her room when they arrived.


    “Just take a bath and then go to sleep, Mrs Carroll. We will go back to the hospital and take care of father tomorrow morning.”


    “But…” Ariana hesitated, “I’m still worried. Your father is in the hospital…”


    “Sion is taking care of him.”


    Aurora patiently reassured her, “look, we have to take good care of ourselves first before we can take care of father, don’t we? I’m afraid you would pass out again.”


    She didn’t want to have such an experience again.


    “Fine.”


    Aurora stood up, looked at Ariana again, and then closed the door and went upstairs.


    After dinner, she asked Ariana to pack some household items for Sion and bring them to him tomorrow.


    “For the sake of father and Mrs Carroll!”


    Staring at these packages, Aurora spoke in a fierce whisper. Then she turned back to bed and went to sleep.


    The next day, when she woke up and went downstairs, Ariana had already packed up her things and been waiting for her in the living room.


    Ariana looked better today, which finally set Aurora’s mind at rest.


    …


    A taxi pulled over outside the Central Hospital. Maisy got off with a pair of sunsses.


    Nevaeh told her that Bailey was in the hospital. She was concerned about it so she decided to visit him today.


    What if Bailey died?


    She wasn’t sure how Bailey would make a will, but she wouldn’t let that woman take any advantage of it!


    Sion didn’t know Maisy woulde today. He slept in a former colleague’s office and woke up with a stiff neck. Now he was rubbing his neck outside of the room.


    Upon seeing this when arrived, Aurora and Ariana felt kind of sorry for him so they sped up to Sion.


    “Sion,” Ariana called, and passed the lunch box to him. “It’s your breakfast we prepared for you. Take a rest after having this, Aurora and I will be here.”


    Sion took it over with faint dark circles under his eyes,” I don’t need a rest now.”


    He looked at Aurora and said in a in voice, “father will be transferred to a general ward for observation this afternoon, and I can take a rest then.”


    The VIP ward in Central Hospital is a suite with a room for rtives to rest.


    Ariana nced at Bailey in the room andpromised, “fine.”


    Soon after Sion left, a voice came from the corridor, “oops, there you all are!”


    Aurora looked up and found Maisye. She wore a pair of high heels and dressed up like an arrogant woman from a noble family with her head tipped up.


    Aurora frowned, “why are you here, mother?”


    She unconsciously pulled Ariana back a few steps in the sight of Maisy.


    Obviously, Maisy wasn’t here because of father.


    Ariana and Aurora could hardly stop her if she wanted to y tricks.


    Maisy gave a contemptuous look at the nce of Aurora holding Ariana’s arm in hers, “well well, don’t you know how to respect your elders when you see them, Aurora?”
