Chapter 167 Something Bad Happens
With that, he turned away without hesitation, ignoring her reaction. Just when he opened the door, Maisy showed up.
“Sion, you are here! Why are you leaving?”
Sion did not say a word, glanced at her coldly, and left the ward.
“What’s wrong with him?” Maisy stared at his back and turned her head to ask, “Nevaeh, what happened?”
Nevaeh didn’t answer her since she was overwhelmed by panic.
“He knows…” she murmured.
She knew better than anyone that whether it was five years ago or now, the only reason Sion was with her was that he thought she was the one who saved his life in that earthquake.
But it was not her.
She thought it would be buried forever with the wreckage. Never had she expected it would be exposed.
“What do you mean? What does he know?”
Maisy was so confused, she asked again, “What happened between you two?”
Nevaeh shook her head as if she had lost her mind.
Sion kept calling Aurora in his car but he could not get through. It seemed that she was pretty busy so she must be in the office, he thought. He glanced at the traffic light and quickly turned off at the junction ahead. The only thing on his mind was seeing her immediately and telling her that he just found out the truth.
He even began to blame everything.
Why didn’t she say anything about it all these years?
He blamed today for coming too late. If he had known earlier, even a day earlier, now he could have repaired the relationship with Aurora.
Feeling great pain inside, Sion sped on. He wanted to jump up and be there right in front of that girl and tell her everything.
He kept calling her and hoped she would wait for him.
Meanwhile, Aurora had gotten out of the car to confront the man who had rear-ended her. She put her muted phone on the seat next to her, so she did not notice that someone was calling her many times.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She got out of the car and took a closer look at her car. The car’s body had been through too much damage. She needed to get it fixed in a garage, Aurora thought. And she glanced over her shoulder, finding the man in the driver’s seat of the van looking at her but he was wearing a mask and a hat. She could not see his face, only a crescent scar in the right corner of his eyes.
Although she felt something wasn’t right with it, Aurora did not dwell on it.
“Sir, both cars seem to be in bad condition, we’d better call the traffic police and report to the insurance companies,” Aurora said to the man at a distance.
The man slowly approached her and said in a low voice, “Can’t we settle this matter in private?”
Aurora did not expect he would say that, after all, he was fully responsible and her brother’s car was quite expensive. It would cost him good fortune.
“Better to call the traffic police and there will be fewer problems.” She shook her head and said. Aurora thought she would just ask the insurance company to pick her car up and take it away.
For a moment, the man did not speak. She thought he was acquiescing and felt relieved, so she turned to the car to make a call.
Aurora was on the point of making a call when the door of the van suddenly opened and then closed heavily.
Hearing someone coming near, she was about to turn around. But her face was covered with a black bag before she could see them.
“Let go of me! Who are you?”
“Ah!”
Those guys punched her heavily in her stomach. Aurora folded her arms to protect her belly but it was meaningless. The pain spread so quickly through her limbs that she did not even have time to call out for help.
To protect the child, she tried to rise to her feet and run away. But just when she managed to run one step away, she was pulled by a leg back. And they kept punching and kicking at her.
It hurt so much. Tears flowed uncontrollably, her head covered in a black bag, Aurora was paralyzed by fear as she could see nothing. She was so terrified and desperate.
Cars passing by ran so fast and no one would notice her since Aurora happened to be blocked by her car.
The remaining consciousness in her mind kept telling her not to give up any trace of hope for her unborn child. She was struggling.
“Who are you? What do you want from me? … I will give all my money to you! Please! Please let me go!”
Aurora curled up on the ground, trying to keep the punches from landing on her belly. But she was too weak to resist because there were too many of them.
Desperation had gotten the better of her.
“Please… let me go, I am pregnant… Please…” Aurora was pleading under great pain. She didn’t know how many people there were and what they came for, but she would do anything to save the lives of her child.
“Let you go?”
One of the men stopped and sneered, “Don’t think you have any chance of survival.”
They started laughing, “Look at her now. Oh, poor thing.”
“What a pity, she was pretty… But we are not merciful, sorry.”
Aurora couldn’t move at all, feeling numb and pain all over her body.
Someone slapped her in the face, laughing.
“Right. She’s a real beauty. I felt bad about this. We should beat her till she did not look good, huh?”
The girl was too weak to speak. Strength was fading away from her, like gas fleeing away from a leaking balloon.
It was a feeling of dying, she thought. Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt when she was dead.
“I’m sorry. Mom couldn’t protect you.” Aurora talked to her baby inside.
“That’s enough, I think.” A man finished the last kick on her and cursed while frowning, “Bitch.”
“Tsk tsk! She was out of luck. You should blame yourself for it. What gave you the guts to mess with Mr Carroll?”
“Shut up!” Another man interrupted him, “Cut the crap. Knock her out.”
Then a heavy kick made her unconscious.
Aurora swallowed a mouthful of blood. When she was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly felt anger and hate rising in her heart. She did not notice her nails were broken because her fingers were against the ground
So, Sion was behind everything. It must be him, Aurora thought.
How could he be so cruel as to find someone to kill her unborn child?
Was he going to kill her?
Think of it, she felt like her heart was aching. Tears kept falling down her cheeks.
