Chapter 166 You Are Not Her
The plane landed quickly, with a roar.
Sion did not wait. He got off the plane and asked David to take him to the hospital.
“Mr Carroll, we are here.”
David’s voice came from the front row, pulling Sion back to reality. It seemed like a century in the short time he was inside the car. He looked up at the hospital and his eyes turned cold.
“Leave the car here and you can go.”
“Yes, Mr Carroll.”
Then Sion opened the door and got off.
Nevaeh had almost recovered these days. When Sion walked into the ward, the nurse was just changing her dressing. She saw him and her eyes suddenly lit up, “Sion!”
There was no expression on his face. He just looked at her calmly.
The nurse, who knew him of course, said hello with a smile, quickened her movement, and left with caring words.
Until the nurse left, Sion did not say a word. Nevaeh saw his look was not good. She got worried and asked, “Sion, what happened?”
Sion stared at her and asked word by word, “Five years ago, in that earthquake, was it you who saved my life?”
The smile on her face suddenly froze. She had never expected him to ask that question.
She stammered, “Why… Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”
How could he suddenly ask that?
Did he know everything?
No way… No one saw what had happened, and it could not be Aurora who had said that. If it were her, she would not have waited until today.
At the thought of it, Nevaeh was relieved.
Her eyes drooped. “I had a dream the other day. I don’t want to go through it again.”
“Is that so?”
Sion pulled out the chair and sat down calmly, “It’s just that I want to know what was it like at that time?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Seeing Nevaeh was a little confused, he said, “After all, you saved me. I want to know the details. I can’t let you suffer for nothing.”
His face was serious and he looked sincere.
Nevaeh felt that something was wrong, but she was so crazy about him that she ignored that feeling. She just saw it as a great opportunity to make him care about her more. The man would appreciate it if she talked about “the truth”.
Her lips moved and her eyes showed some sadness.
“Thank God I got there in time, otherwise I couldn’t imagine what would have happened…”
Nevaeh reached out a hand to touch him, “You should never go to such a dangerous place. It was clear that there would be aftershocks, why did you still go there?”
Sion looked at her.
“That’s my job.” He said.
What she said had nothing to do with what had happened when she saved him.
“I know.” Nevaeh sniffed, “But what if I didn’t get you out?”
Sion’s eyes became darker and darker, like the elusive black holes in space. “Do you still remember what you said to me at that time?”
He did not believe that a person could have no recollection of what he had said. How could she forget that while he still remembered even after being buried under the wreckage and dying?
A trace of guilt quickly flashed inside Nevaeh’s eyes then there were tears.
“I was too afraid and I did not check everything I said. I just prayed that you would be fine, even if it would cost my own life.”
Then she broke into a wry smile.
“Maybe God heard me, and within a year I was diagnosed with cancer.”
“Even so, it doesn’t matter. I would literally do anything just for you.”
“Enough!” Sion snapped and his eyes were no longer filled with tenderness. He fiercely shook off her hand.
“You can use your own body, can’t you?”
Nevaeh looked up at him and her tears rolled down suddenly.
“Sion, what do you mean by that?”
Why would he say that out of the blue? Did Aurora tell him something? But they were at loggerheads now, and there was no reason for her to tell him this, not to mention he would believe it.
What went wrong?
Sion took a deep breath and said, “You care so much about the earthquake five years ago and you did not know today was the day of that earthquake?”
Nevaeh panicked and said, “What’s the use of knowing it now? I have already become like this.”
She lived in a hospital. Why should she care about the day of the earthquake?
“I just got back from there and learned something interesting.” Sion’s face was so cold that it felt like there was a thin layer of frost.
Hearing his words, Nevaeh was no longer calm.
She clutched the white mattress, forced a smile, and asked, “Really? What’s interesting?”
At that moment, she was already thinking about how to make up the lie.
While Sion did not follow her words, he stood up slowly, and look at her with his cold eyes.
“You can’t remember it, but I’ve engraved it in my heart.”
“She told me to hang in there and she would get someone to help.”
“She said I will survive because I am the best doctor and there are many patients needing me. I must live up to God for the hands he gave me. This is God’s test for me.”
“She said she was getting close to me, but her hand hurts. She asked me to talk to her.”
“She said…” Sion choked up with tears. He could even hear that familiar, clear voice now that he thought of it. He felt like the words were ringing in his ears.
How could he forget her and think it was someone else?
Sion was so sad that he was out of breath, he looked at Nevaeh and said, “You do not remember all of those words she said of course, because you are not her!”
