Chapter 158 Sion Didn’t Care
"Mr Carroll."
Someone was knocking. Sion opened his eyes, which were as dark as night, and looked at the man
beside the door.
"What?" said Sion.
David came in, taking a glimpse at his glacial face, and handed the invitation to him. "It's the invitation
to the 5th anniversary of the earthquake in River Green's. The sponsor is delighted to see you there
because you were in the spot for rescue.
The whole city was almost destroyed by the catastrophe and thousands of people were killed. As a
rescue team member, the earthquake made an indelible impression on Sion. He opened the invitation
and his expression altered, "June 12."
David thought Sion would like to know the schedule on that day, so he immediately added, "Nothing
important on that day and it's okay to take a leave." Finishing that, his boss said nothing, just staring at
the invitation in his hand. David couldn't tell if he was in a good or bad mood because his face was a
cold blank mask.
After a while, David said with hesitation, "Mr Carroll, will you go?" Sion did not answer the question but
ordered another thing, "Prepare some gifts for children in the local orphanage and send them there."
The earthquake made so many children orphans and they were all in the orphanage nearby, but would
he go? He was lost in contemplation.
"Got it." David nodded but frowned suddenly because Sion didn't say if he would go to the anniversary.
David wanted to ask him but he didn't want to interrupt Sion, so he left the room quietly.
Staring at the invitation, those horrible memories flooded Sion in waves and the whole world seemed to
become grey. The horizon almost vanished as the sky and earth merged when the doomed day finally
came. He was nearly dead after being crushed under bricks. He frowned and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a light in his mind. Sion hurriedly ran after it and he woke up and opened his eyes
when he was about to reach it.
It was Nevaeh who had saved him. Thinking of what happened to her, a wave of guilt swept over him.
He already owed her life and now even more for Aurora's vile temper.
His face darkened and no one could guess what was in his mind. Given Nevaeh's condition, how could
Aurora leave as if it was not her business?
Aurora was so tired because she didn't rest well after the quarrel with Sion and his mother. Albie
walked out from the kitchen with breakfast in his hand, raising his head and seeing her in fatigue. He
asked gently, "You didn't sleep well last night?"
"Yes." She murmured, sitting beside the table and rubbing her neck.
"Take a leave if you're uncomfortable." Albie gave her a bottle of milk. "Your health is what really
matters and your colleagues can take over your job temporarily."
"You must be kidding." Aurora took a sip and some milk was left on her lips. She said with a smile,
"You're the boss and as your sister, I should work even harder to catch up with you. Otherwise, it looks
like I'm useless."
Albie took a piece of tissue and wiped the milk on her lips, feeling that he could do nothing to change
her mind but spoil her. "Aurora... Anyway, take care of yourself and let me know if you're
uncomfortable."
"Yes, sir!" Aurora got excited when she found Albie wouldn't stop her from working.
"Right." Albie suddenly came up with another thing. He glanced at her and walked out and returned
with something in his hand. Aurora put the fork off and asked curiously, "What's that?"
"Your delivery." Albie handed it to her and sat down. "I came back to the company yesterday and saw it
at the reception so I took it for you." Albie frowned when he saw what the pack read, "Invitation of an
Earthquake Anniversary".
"Why do they send an invitation to you?"
Aurora's smile disappeared when she heard the word "earthquake". She seemed to be nervous and
her voice became low. "Maybe because my father was in the rescue team but he was gone, so they
sent it to me."
She pursed her lips and opened the invitation slowly. "It's reasonable to send me an invitation." "I came
there secretly at that time and still have kept an eye on those kids for many years."
Albie was abroad at that time but he paid particular attention to domestic news, so he was no stranger ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
to that earthquake. It was a catastrophe that even terrified him. "You were there?" Worry was written all
over his face and he frowned.
Her courage did surprise Albie, who thought she was literally a little girl five years ago. How could she
get involved in relief work there alone?
Aurora was depressed but after seeing Albie's nerve, her spirit was lighted. Aurora covered her face
and took a secret glimpse at him, who was deliberately staring at her in anger as if he was about to
judge her even though everything had passed.
"Well..." She gave him an ingratiating smile and carefully reached out and tug Albie's shirt and shook it.
"Albie, it all passed, please don't blame me for that."
From childhood to adulthood, Albie wouldn't refuse her as long as she begged him. As expected,
Albie's authority was gone and he didn't know what to do with his little sister.
"Never be so reckless and never do anything dangerous, okay?"
Aurora nodded hurriedly, "Yes, my brother!"
Albie's voice became gentle again after Aurora promised. "Will you attend the anniversary?"
Aurora's hands fell from his shirt and she took the invitation on the table and read it back and forth. The
most indelible memory that earthquake left her was Sion.
She save him from death and thought that he could be grateful, but now she knew that everything she
did for him was meaningless. Sion didn't care about what had happened five years ago, so she had no
reason to go back and find those heartbreaking memories.
