After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 173 Guilt And Horror

Chapter 173 Guilt and Horror

Nevaeh clenched her teeth but was unable to defend herself. What should have been said had been

said.

"Go back." Sion glanced at her indifferently and said, "You'll only remind me more of what happened

back then."

Nevaeh's heart chilled at his words.

"Rest well, Sion." She compromised reluctantly.

How could she stay when he was so cold to her?

Nevaeh wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at him, saying, "Aurora will be fine."

"I will always pray for her." She said so as if she was worried about that girl but that was all her

disguise.

Then, she lowered her eyes, picked up the bag next to her and left resentfully.

Sion didn't care what she said just now. He just swept the door and withdrew his gaze to fall on

Aurora's earring on the bedside table next to him.

A sudden dull ache washed over him.

He had known this earring belonged to Aurora more than three years ago.

It was Aurora's birthday on the day of the car accident and he wanted to prepare a present for her. With

some help, he knew the brand Aurora liked most, which was not expensive and belonged to the light

luxury positioning. And every piece of its products was unique. To qualify as a customer purchase, one

was required to contribute one of their most memorable stories.

Sion knew that Aurora already had earrings from that brand, so he thought of giving her another set of

necklaces. He contributed one of the most profound stories he had sealed inside and finally exchanged From NôvelDrama.Org.

it for this purchase qualification. However, his carefully prepared birthday gift was not sent out in the

end, just like his feelings for her. Married for almost four years, he never had an opportunity to confess

it to that girl.

In midnight dreams, he often wondered what story Aurora told in exchange for the pair of earrings.

Would it be about him?

Now he fully realized how important that girl was in his heart. She was engraved on his heart, and now

it hurt to even breathe whenever he thought about her.

After lying there for a while, Sion couldn't wait for the fluid to finish, so he just pulled out the syringe

himself and called David with a frown.

"Where are you?"

"Mr Carroll," David had just finished his work and got in the car, "I'm at the company and I'm coming

over to the hospital."

"You do not need to come here, I'll take a taxi to the river, you also go directly over."

"Mr Carroll, shouldn't you have taken some time off?"

Sion hung up the phone directly.

Then he took a taxi to the river.

The bridge had been cleaned of blood, leaving no trace of it at all. And it was still full of police

speedboats and salvage ships, which were searching relentlessly.

Sion's face got a bit paler while watching the scene. He was wearing an anxious look.

"Mr Carroll, why are you here again?"

Ernie had gone back to change his clothes. Seeing him unexpectedly for a moment, he said, "There

had been no discovery so far, she might have rushed downstream we guessed. And maybe..."

Ernie felt he was unable to finish his words. He was afraid that would hurt Sion, who was so smart that

he could not think of any reason to lie to him.

"We'll find her," Sion said in a serious tone as if that was his oath.

Ernie was surprised that the president of the Carroll Group, who was known to be tough and

aggressive, would be such an infatuated person in private, which did not conform to the report of the

press.

"We try." That was all he could say. If they failed they could only give up since the police resources

were limited.

Sion turned his head to look at him and said, "Please."

After that, he walked towards David, who had arrived on the other side, and took off his life jacket,

"Let's go downstream."

David responded, and he took one look at his boss's red-blooded eyes and sickly face, having no idea

how he could persuade him.

Sion had already gotten into the car. His hand casually rested on his forehead. He looked sad and

haunted.

David sighed silently and got in the car too. He could only pray now to find Aurora as soon as possible,

whether she was alive or dead. As long as there was a result, Sion should not be like this now.

There was a village in the downstream area because the water was shallow there. And there were

usually a lot of people playing in the river. However, last night's rainstorm made the water level rise, so

only some fishing people were seen by the river.

Sion Heard the sound of the rushing water.

"Go get the boat." He commanded.

David went to look for a boat and called more helpers, and when he came back, he saw Sion asking

people one by one with the photos on his phone.

If any employees in the company had seen this, they would have dropped their jaws. After all, having

no equal in the company, Sion got the weight of splendour and majesty in staff minds.

David let out a deep sigh, for he could feel Sion's desperation.

When there was no way out, he would not let go of a single glimmer of hope though he was almost

worn out. Sion had no choice but kept cheering himself up to look for her, however, there was only one

in ten thousand chance of being alive.

Sion withdrew his gaze and told the salvage team the information he got. He had asked almost

everyone in his sight, but none of them had seen the girl in his photo.

Where could she go?

Or, was she still in the river?

Guilt and horror flooded him in waves, leaving him in a state of lingering death as if he had been

abandoned by the whole world. Sion closed his eyes for a moment to keep calm, and when he opened

his eyes, he had an unperturbed look, but his cold, chilly eyes were intimidating.

It stopped raining and the air was a lot fresher than before.

The weather was sunny and the air followed after the rain. The sun came out in front of all, while the

one he was looking for was still somewhere he did not know.

The sun was gradually shifting, and the light shed on the river surface was turning orange. Their search

for the girl in the downstream area continued for another day, but they still got nothing. Even the nearby

residents had been carefully questioned, but they made no progress.

"Mr Carroll,"

Ernie looked at him and finally spoke the truth out, "We've searched everywhere we can... If you don't

wanna give up, we can ask other relevant departments for help."

It was a night of heavy rain yesterday. The remains could have been swept downstream, and they

could have also been brought into the sea. Thinking of all kinds of results, Sion's gaze became colder

and faint.

"Keep looking."

"You can rest assured, this is a matter of human life, we will investigate to the end."

Sion did not speak and looked indifferently at the salvage team on the river.

Ernie tried to say something else, but it just turned into a sigh.
