Chapter 164 He Finds the Truth
Aurora found a post office nearby and mailed the divorce paper to Sion's office.
This life-changing thing was finally over. Aurora didn't feel that much happiness. But she did feel
relieved from a nice clean exit from an unsatisfying marriage.
Aurora took out her phone and called Albie.
"Albie, I did it…and that went well." She sounded breezy.
Albie seemed to be relieved, too. He said with pleasure, "Congratulations, Aurora, you are finally free."
Then he thought about something, "I heard the Broadlane Park they just built in Eastern Suburb is fun.
And they have that entertainment equipment. Do you want to go with me?"
Aurora's eyes got wide open in joy when she heard it, "Sure, I was just thinking about having fun."
There was a noticeable relief and ease in her voice. She just fixed a big problem like a bird getting out
of its cage. What mattered was that she was happy now.
Albie said with a smile, "Okay, then. Should I pick you up?"
"No, I take my car." Aurora walked over and got in her car with joyous steps, "Let's meet at the gate of
Broadlane Park. If you got there first, wait for me!"
"Okay!" Albie then stood up to get his coat and walked out.
Aurora hung up with a smile on her face, feeling more relieved than anytime before. From now on, she
didn't have to make any compromises for Sion again.
Then she started the car and put on the music, which was quite fitting for this occasion.
The sunshine outside the car window was not that glaring. A few beams of sunlight got right through
the windshield and hit her face. She thought perhaps it might get cloudy later.
That song had been playing for a while. Aurora hummed along with it while her feeling of loss faded.
She didn't notice that there was a black truck following her.
Cars were getting fewer after she drove out of the city. And that black truck finally sped up when it
approached the Rainbow Bridge after following Aurora at an acceptable speed.
Aurora took a look at the rear-view mirror and found the truck seemed to follow her on purpose. But
she didn't overthink it. After all, the Rainbow Bridge was the path that people had to take to Eastern
Suburb.
But a short while later, that black truck changed its path and crashed her car in a heartbeat. Aurora was
forced to brake to halt as she had no time to dodge it.
Fortunately, that black truck didn't crash that hard and it stopped in time. Aurora's car made an "L"
shape with it.
Aurora was sitting in her car, looking confused and sulky.
She thought this crash was out of nowhere. That truck was driving fine just now. How would it crash her
car?
Aurora then pulled over and took a look in the rear-view mirror, seeing that the black truck had both
flashing lights on. It seemed like an accident.
She sighed and then got off to have a check.
At the airport, David saw Sion walking out in strides from a distance and then hurriedly opened the car
door near the backseat for him.
He asked when Sion got in, "Mr Carroll, where are we going?"
Sion closed his eyes and his cold face unleashed an intimidating aura around him.
"Hospital." He said and his face got colder.
David looked surprised. He wondered what had happened to Sion when he was in River Green today.
Sion cut down the one-day trip there for the Earthquake Anniversary to half and he even looked more
depressed than when he departed for River Green.
David started the car as he got no time to think about it.
Sion felt so painful and depressed that he couldn't even breathe straight like there was a rock stuck in
his chest while being choked.
It was supposed to be the last day of the waiting period for the divorce between him and Aurora. He
knew that this divorce wouldn't happen without him showing up. So he told David to book a plane ticket
early in the morning to River Green for the ceremony. But he didn't expect that he would find out a
surprising truth there.
When he thought of the earthquake five years ago, Sion felt pain.
It was like God enjoyed making a prank on everyone.
Three hours earlier...
"We didn't expect that you would come here. Mr Cooper just said that he had no idea when were we
gonna meet you again. What a surprise!"
Joe, who was receiving Sion, ushered him in while talking with him casually with passion and
admiration on his smiley face.
Mr Cooper was in that rescue then. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Sion got a smile on his face, which was probably from reminiscing, "It's been five years since the last
time I met Mr Cooper."
That earthquake was too painful that they all didn't notice the time passing. It had been five years,
which felt like just a moment.
"This way."
Joe led him to the exhibition room, "Dr Carroll, feel free to look around. And I'll go find Mr Cooper. He
would love to see you."
Sion nodded, "Okay, thank you."
It was crowded in the exhibition room, where there were site models of that earthquake, introductions,
and many stories that had happened in the rescue, both in pictures and words, which would easily
bring grief and sorrow to visitors.
Sion walked by while looking at the display. And he felt them more personally than other visitors.
Suddenly his pupils narrowed with his eyes fixed on one of those pictures.
