David listened to the cold voice on the phone, and it sent chills down his spine for no reason. He immediately replied, “Yes.”


    To make it easier, David asked, “Mr Carroll, what are you looking for?”


    Sion paused for a while and said, “Aurora’s car. She should be driving Albie’s car, a ck Porsche, license te xxx88.”


    “OK.”


    David was shocked that Sion even remembered the license te number clearly. And it was Albie Doyle’s car.


    “Speed, don’t let the news out.”


    Sion didn’t exin much.


    “OK, Mr Carroll.”


    After hanging up the phone, Sion looked down at the bottomless river below, as if he was about to sink in there.


    As long as Aurora was safe now, he could do whatever she wanted, Sion thought to himself.


    Albie arrived at the scene soon. It was about 40 minutes’ drive from Broane Park to the Rainbow Bridge but he got here in around 20 minutes.


    He hurried out of the car and saw the pool of blood in the distance, causing a sudden pain in his heart.


    “Mr Carroll.”


    Sion raised his head and stared at him with those bloodshot eyes.


    Albie saw his appearance and felt that the voice in his throat was a bit muffled.


    “What do you find?”


    “Nothing.” Sion stood up expressionless, his eyes still fixed on the river.


    If he had discovered anything, he wouldn’t have been unable to do anything like he was now. Sion felt like he was locked in a sealed and suffocating room, unable to find the exit.


    “How long has it been?”


    Sion looked at him and sneered, “What time is your appointment? Don’t you know?”


    Before Albie could say anything, the ringing sound of Sion’s phone interrupted them.


    “Mr Carroll, Mrs Carroll’s car wouldn’t have been recorded when it reached Road Watene. The Rainbow Bridge is quite isted, there were no cameras nearby.”


    “These are all your results?”


    “I’m sorry, Mr Carroll.”


    Sion hung up the phone, blowing his top. There was a trance of malice shed in his eyes, and the next second, a straight punch hit Albie in the face.


    “Didn’t you say she was none of my concern?”


    “Didn’t you say you would take good care of her?”


    “Didn’t you say you were responsible for her future life?”


    He grabbed Albie’s cor, growling.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “How could you allow this to happen? I don’t even know whether she’s alive or not.” Sion gnashed.


    Albie had a momentary nk in his mind, and Sion’s sudden anger was like a blow, breaking the wall of his heart. He didn’t stop Sion since he felt full of remorse inside.


    “No, it couldn’t be Aurora!” Albie murmured to himself.


    He had just heard her pleasant voice on the phone in the morning. How could she encounter any danger during a few hours of absence?


    Sion fiercely pushed him aside and snapped, “I hope it’s impossible, but if it wasn’t her, why is her earring here?”


    Sion should feel more desperate than anyone else because he had just found out the truth and wanted to exin everything to her. He owed her words of thanks for saving his life from the wreckage and staying by his side to support him; he owed her words of apology for what he had done to neglect her for Nevaeh. Besides, he wanted to ask her why she didn’t tell him the truth.


    Sion didn’t even know if she was injured when she dug up those bricks and stones and if her hands hurt.


    Albie fixed his gaze on the familiar earring that was found in the pool of blood.


    “Are you sure this earring is hers?”


    When she went out this morning, she did wear a pair of crystal earrings. At first nce, it looked like this one with blood stains.


    Albie got another punch in the face as he asked like that.


    “It’s Aurora’s thing. I’m sure.” Sion said in a cold voice, “So you tell me why her earring is here?”


    His eyes seemed to be on fire, staring at Albie with anger.


    He didn’t think Albie did his duty as her brother. If he had not given Aurora a divorce, perhaps she would not have been in danger.


    Thinking of it, Sion’s heart was full of mixed feelings, anguished, remorseful and resentful. He med himself for forcing her. If anything happened to Aurora, he would be the sinner.


    The blood beside them was somewhat dark, and the edge of it was drying up while the middle of it was still dazzling red.


    Albie felt a chill in his heart as he nced over the blood on the ground. The more he thought about Aurora, the more panicky he got. When he closed his eyes, he felt like there was a sharp knife inserted into his chest. Only when he gasped violently could he barely suppress the pain.


    Looking at the man who had just hit him, Albie felt a surge of angering up.


    He dragged Sion back to the car behind him and punched him hard in the face.


    “Who are you to question this?” Albie huffed.


    “It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t kept forcing her if you got divorced earlier, how could she have suffered so much?”


    Albie med Sion for everything because he thought Sion was cheating on Aurora while he was always around another woman, which cause Aurora a lot of pain.


    Aurora had neverined about it. She had always been holding everything inside. Thus, she was hurt a lot, as she loved Sion so much. Sometimes, when Albie got up in the middle of the night to drink water, he could hear her sobbing in the room, which made his heart ache.


    Sion lost his strength in frustration. He thought Albie was right. If it weren’t for him, Aurora would never have suffered so much.


    Sion was unable to resist any more. If Aurora coulde back, he would be willing to receive a hundred punches, or even be killed.


    A deep sense of remorse and pain filled his heart. Sion felt like a growing tsunami was held in his chest, which was going to drown him because it could not erupt.


    Nobody but Aurora could save him this time.


    “That’s what you did to her, huh? You hurt her, a lot.”


    Albie gasped for breath, then waved a fist, saying, “Do you think she’s a puppet? You can do whatever you want, have you ever thought what you gave was never what she wanted?”


    Aurora was not an object but a human being. She had her thoughts. One should respect her if one loved her.


    Sion allowed him to punch and scold, with only one thought in his heart-Aurora’s return.
