Chapter 10 A Boyfriend?
Inside a classroom for the fashion design major of Hormam University, everyone was busy working on their stuff.
While adjusting the clothes on the mannequin, Aurora appeared absent-minded.
She still remembered every second about last night, during which she mustered up her courage to suggest divorcing in front of Sion seriously.
But as always, he turned his back on her without even paying her a glance. He said nothing but let out a simple word of response, “Whatever.” Then he headed into his own room.
Aurora barely fell asleep last night.
Whatever? Was that a signal of consent?
Never did she expect that he would agree to divorce so easily without even paying for a few more seconds to talk about it.
It never mattered to him, she supposed.
Perhaps divorce was more like a kind of relief for him.
At the thought of that, she couldn’t help sighing.
She felt like she should have let go a bit earlier.
If he had agreed, so be it.
From now on, they were strangers to each other.
Aurora put the measuring tape around her neck and then swiped on her phone to check the date.
Now it was late April.
While swiping, she laid her finger on the date of April 28th.
Though she had been mentally prepared, some mixed feelings still surged up in her mind, making her want to cry.
April 28th was exactly the date when she met him for the first time eight years ago.
She decided to put an end to this messed-up relationship with him on the same date.
There was one more week left for her to draft the divorce agreement.
Aurora let out a long breath. She didn’t want to get herself bothered by anything about him again.
She stood up to grab herself a bolt of organdy.
Meanwhile, one of her classmates happened to walk past with a cart filled with cutting tools and suddenly stumbled over a bumped carpet on the ground. Thus, he lurched toward Aurora together with the cart.
“Watch out!”
Before Aurora was going to be knocked down on the ground, Alex, who suddenly showed up from nowhere, hurried to pull her aside.
Her classmate hurried to apologize, “Sorry…I am so sorry…I didn’t mean it. Aurora, are you okay?”
But soon, he suddenly exclaimed, “Alex! Your arm is bleeding!”
Not until then did Aurora take a look at Alex’s left arm.
At this moment, a huge part of the sleeve of his white shirt got stained by blood.
Aurora frowned, looking guilty, “Alex, let me take you to the hospital. You got wounded because of me…”
There was a hook on the surface of the cart which happened to scratch Alex’s arm.
But Alex didn’t seem to care, “I am fine. It doesn’t matter.”
Known as an outstanding graduate, he often returned to the campus to provide guidance for students.
Luckily, if it weren’t for him today, Aurora would have been wounded.
He laid his hands on her shoulders to check her from head to toe. After making sure that she was fine, he finally let out a breath of relief, “Thank god, you didn’t get hurt.”
From his perspective, the way she frowned to show her concern about him was so appealing.
Alex couldn’t help smiling.
Witnessing his smile, everyone around soon noticed what was on his mind-he had a crush on her.
But Aurora didn’t seem to realize that.
She helped to support Alex steady while grabbing her handbag to rush out, “Come on, we gotta go to the hospital.”
If it weren’t for him, she would have been the one bleeding right now.
It only took ten minutes to get to Halberk Central Hospital by taxi from Hormam University.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Aurora, together with Alex, immediately headed to the emergency department. After registering for Alex, she finally breathed out a sigh of relief.
“Let me see…” Aurora turned his sleeve inside out, seeing that he was still bleeding.
“There are two more people ahead of us. Just wait for a few more minutes.”
Actually, what she meant was simple-Alex got wounded because of her. So she considered herself responsible for this.
However, in the eyes of Alex, her care inspired him.
His gaze at her was getting tenderer.
Soon, Alex’s name was called. She walked into the consultant room together with him. When she recognized the face of the doctor, she paused out of surprise.
Nevaeh?
“Aurora!” Nevaeh was the first to greet her with a decent smile.
“Hi,” Aurora replied with a smile. Then she beckoned Alex to sit down. After that, she spoke to Nevaeh, “His arm was cut by a metal hook. It seems to be a severe wound…”
Nevaeh looked around both of them. Then she started to check Alex’s wound. A few seconds later, she smiled, “Luckily, it didn’t cut deep. Not a big deal. Let me get it stitched and then he will need a tetanus vaccine.”
Then Nevaeh started looking for tools for the minor operation.
While Nevaeh was stitching the wound, Aurora averted her eyes to look outside the window though she knew Alex had been injected with anaesthetic.
She still felt that his arm was giving him aches.
Soon, Nevaeh finished the stitching evenly.
When she was tying up the loose end, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
As the three of them looked over there, they saw a tall guy walking in.
After a few seconds of pause, Aurora hurried to look away and fixed her eyes outside the window.
Seeing Aurora here, Sion slightly raised his brows, looking a bit surprised.
A radiant smile appeared on Nevaeh’s face as soon as she noticed Sion coming over.
“Sion, see who I met just now? It’s Aurora! I happen to be on duty when she came for an emergency. What a coincidence!”
Sion simply nodded emotionlessly.
Nevaeh put away the tools and then paid Aurora a meaningful look to joke with her, “I still remember we used to witness how she grew to be a grown-up. Now finally comes the time when she got herself a boyfriend. How time flies!”
Stunned, Aurora didn’t expect her to say so.
Before she could explain, she heard Sion’s impassive voice again, “Boyfriend?”
