After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 172 Find Her, Alive Or Dead

Chapter 172 Find Her, Alive or Dead

"She's still there! We got so much advanced equipment, there was no way we can't get them back!"

Sion snapped. The scarlet eyes showed his disbelief.

Albie then rushed over too. Listening to the words, his face instantly darkened, threatening.

"Officers, please think of a way, what equipment do you need? We can pay any amount of money! We

can't give up the salvage!"

"Mr Doyle," Ernie Kelly, the captain of the team, looked embarrassed, "now the weather's terrible, plus

the river is too deep, there's no way."

"Keep looking." Sion's voice was muffled by the sound of water as if he was trying to restrain his

emotions.

"Right," Ernie replied while he sighed looking at the river. That was the first time he had felt so helpless.

On hearing the bad news of failure, Sion felt his heart aching a lot as if it was bleeding uncontrollably.

"Find her! Alive or dead." Sion said in a tone of command.

At this time, the nerves inside almost ran him frenzy.

Sion took over the life jacket David handed over and was ready to follow him on board again.

Albie pulled him back and asked, "Do you think she's in there?"

The sinking pain in Albie's eyes was barely suppressed since he realized how dangerous it was in the

river. There were flowing gravel and giant fishes in the current. He dared not to imagine if Aurora was in

there.

Sion didn't turn around and said, "She must not be in there." But his voice was drowned out by the roar

of the thunder. Then he boarded a ship directly.

Looking at his back, Albie clenched his fist and then he put on the life jacket.

Aurora, please be alive.

At the beginning of the night, Lower Hopton seemed to have put on the most gorgeous coat. Colourful

hues decorated the city, but gradually in the pouring rain, its outline was blurred. It made the city look

like a mirage.

"Mr Carroll, it's raining heavily, and it may not stop tonight. Why don't you and Mr Doyle go back first,

we will inform you when we have any news."

Ernie came over in a speedboat, yelling out words that were muffled by the rain and could not be heard

very well.

With two important entrepreneurs of Lower Hopton in their team, he was unable to take on the

responsibility once something bad happened to them.

"No need." Sion glanced at Albie in a distance, and in the darkness, their eyes met. They understood

each other's insistence.

"Good work Ernie, keep looking!"

The rain ran down his cheeks, trickled into his mouth, and was spit out in one gulp.

Ernie saw that they all insisted, so he didn't say anything further to stop them. He waved his hand and

said to the others, "Keep looking!"

The dense night was like a dark, opening huge mouth, trying to swallow the world into its belly.

A night passed with no progress.

The river bottom around the cross-river bridge was almost turned over, but no trace was found. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr Carroll," David looked at Sion, whose eyes were red and his face was pale, and he couldn't help

but persuade him to leave, "Or you should go back to get some rest. The police will continue to look for

them, I am watching, If there is any news, I'll immediately notify you."

"No." Sion's voice seemed to be assimilated by the cold night, "I have to find her."

Or, he didn't know what else he could do. The remorse in his heart was like a soaking sponge, swelling

up and almost blocking his lungs to suffocate him.

Why hadn't he recognized her earlier?

It was clear that Nevaeh's voice was nothing like hers.

When he went to River Green last time, he saw her there. She had been to the earthquake site centre.

How come he did not have the slightest suspicion?

Thinking of this, Sion felt a real pain in his heart.

He raised his head and suddenly strode like a madman towards the river. David hurriedly pulled him

back.

"Mr Carroll! You've been wet all night, how can your body take it if you keep going like this?"

He had never seen Sion like this before as if he had gone crazy.

Sion's pale lips twitched as he murmured, "She must be cold with all this rain."

"Mr Carroll," David tried to stop him. He intuited that Sion was not in the right state and could not be

allowed to go any further.

"Madam is lucky to be fine. Maybe she has been rescued in the downstream area where the water is

shallow. If you got ill, how could you go to see her?"

Now David thought he needed to send Sion back anyway. However, David was not sure about what he

said at all since there was still a long distance to go downstream. This journey was dangerous enough

to cause any possible changes.

But his words seemed to be the last straw for Sion, which made him stunned in place.

"Maybe she has been rescued..." After repeating these words, Sion fainted all of a sudden.

David took Sion to the Central Hospital when Sion passed out with a high fever because he had been

exposed to the rain all night.

When Nevaeh heard the news, David had just taken a call from a company and was unsure whether to

leave or not.

"David, if you have anything to do go ahead, I'll keep an eye on Sion."

Knowing the relationship between her and his boss, David agreed.

"That is most appreciated, Miss Burns. There's an emergency at the company, I'll be back soon."

Nevaeh smiled warmly and said, "Okay, there is no need to rush."

David nodded and left the hospital in a hurry.

The ward fell silent. Looking at the pale man in the bed, Nevaeh's face lost its smile.

She stared viciously at the sleeping man as if she saw in him the woman she loathed most.

"Do you care about her so much? Unfortunately, she's probably finished being partaken of by the fish in

the river by now."

She said every word harshly but the man still did not respond at all.

With a satisfied smile, she reached out and caressed the longed-for face, "From now on, I'll be the only

one by your side."

About twenty minutes later, Sion woke up.

"What are you doing?"

His icy voice surprised Nevaeh. She looked up and said, "Sion, you're awake?"

Seeing him staring at the towel in her hand, she looked a little weird and said, "You're wet all over by

the river water. I just helped you clean yourself off."

Her words, "wet by the river water", caused Sion's colder attitude than ever.

"No need."

There was no hint of emotion under his eyes, not even politeness.

"Leave me alone, you don't have to stay here."

"Sion," Nevaeh's eyes immediately turned red, "You're still blaming me, aren't you?"

"I didn't expect Aurora would have gone there back then, and... I was the one who saved you, wasn't

I?"

"So you just went along with being my saviour?" Sion questioned her with a mocking look in his eyes,

"No more explanations."

All he felt now was that she was an eyesore here.
