Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

The bar was full of different kinds of sounds and noises. It was a rare case that Seth didn’t go hit on the hot chicks. He stayed with Sion and drank with him.

“Hey, dude. You’re drinking too much!” He couldn’t stand it any more. Sion had been swigging all the time without saying anything. What the hell had happened?

Once again, Sion tossed off the wine and put down the glass heavily on the table. Meanwhile, he leaned on the back of the sofa and pulled his tie carelessly.

Clearly, Sion was stoned. As his buddy, Seth couldn’t leave Sion alone. He stood up and held Sion up and kept murmuring, “Damn you, Sion. You’re impossible!”

It was wee hours. Sion was very drunk and probably, he didn’t wanna go home. Seth got him a room in a hotel near the bar. It took him great effort to get him into the room and make him sit down on the couch. He grasped for breath and heard Sion, who was laying on the back of the couch with his eyes closed, saying, “You can go now.”

Seth didn’t hear him clearly. He gasped and went over to ask, “What did you say?”

“I said, you can go now.”

Sion opened his eyes, put his hand on the forehead and stared into the ceiling lamp. His dark and gloomy eyes looked kinda misty and unreal.

“How can I leave you alone like this?”

Seth couldn’t take it any more. Or this was the guts of a doctor? Sion’s palm was still stuck with broken glass, but he just sucked the pain and and refused to let Seth clean the wound for him. He was nearly out of consciousness but insisted telling him to go. Did he think he was a superman? But Sion knew him better than anyone else. Sion always meant what he said.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Seth thought about it and tried asking, “Or, would you like me to call Aurora for you?”

Sion gave him an indifferent look immediately. But it was just a look. He didn’t say no.

“Got it.” Seth signaled it and picked up Sion’s phone.

“Unlock your phone.” Seth said.

But Sion just frowned and did nothing.

“I know you want me to call Aurora with my phone, but I don’t have her number. Let me get her number…”

Seth felt he was a total poor fish tonight! He watched Sion manage to unlock his phone though he was stoned.

Seth was searching for Aurora’s number and murmuring, “Right. It was because of Aurora…”

Sion narrowed his eyes, said nothing but rubbed his head with his slender fingers.

Seth sighed with relief and called Aurora with his phone.

“Hello? Who is it speaking?” Aurora answered the phone. Her voice sounded a little hoarse and confusing. Probably, she had cried herself to sleep and was waken by the phone call.

Seth glanced at Sion unconsciously. Gee! What an actor! He looked he didn’t care at all!

“Dear Aurora, this is Seth.” Seth raised his voice on purpose so that Sion could hear him clearly, “Here’s the thing. Sion is drunk and he had his hand injured… I got him a room in PROSPER Hotel. Room number is 606. Can you come over to take care of him? I gotta go because my girlfriend is still waiting for me at home.”

Indeed, Aurora was waken by his call and her throat was dry. She sat up slowly and frowned. Sion was drunk? But when she thought of what he’d done to her tonight, she bit her lips and rejected it without hesitation, “No.”

Seth didn’t expect Aurora would give him a firm and quick no. He was in a daze for a little while and said again, “He’s drunk. I mean it. And his hand is bleeding. Do you really want me to leave him alone here like that?”

Aurora pursed her lips and made up her mind, “I said no. Gotta go. Bye!”

A few seconds later, Seth stared at the phone and was a little confused. He turned to look at Sion and found he was wearing a long face. Apparently, he had heard everything.

“Dude, I’m afraid your wife is ungrateful and heartless!”

Even his friends would show their concerns after hearing what he said. But Sion wasn’t bothered. He looked at him coldly and said indifferently, “Just go.”

Seth saw he’d sobered up a little but still doubted, “Can you handle it by yourself?”

But he gave it another thought. Sion was a surgeon and he knew the situation well. “OK. Then I’ll leave you alone. Call me if you need anything.” Saying it, Seth took his jacket and sighed before he left, “Dude, you drank like a fish tonight!”

Sion didn’t feel like talking. He just closed his eyes and knitted his eyebrows. Seth left soon. The room quieted down. And he was overwhelmed by the quietness and loneliness. At this moment, Sion wished Aurora was here. But she even refused to come check on him. Had he let her down by what he had done tonight?

The phone vibrated and his eyes brightened up. However, he was disappointed again when he saw Nevaeh calling in. He scrolled the phone and answered it.

“Are you sleeping, Sion?”

“Nope.”

In fact, Nevaeh called him at his hour for an academic problem, but she could tell something was wrong with Sion’s voice.

“Are… are you ill?”

Sion rubbed between his eyes and said in a more magnetic voice, “I had some wine.”

“Where are you?”

He turned over and said without thinking much, “PROSPER Hotel. I’m gonna turn in.”

“Oh, I see. Have some hot beverage. Good night.”

“OK. Good night.”

Sion hung up on Nevaeh, and looked at Aurora’s number for a while. He moved his fingers a little but still decided not to call her. He pursed his lips hard and threw his phone away.

In the middle of the night, Aurora tossed and turned in bed. Clearly, she was bothered by Seth’s call. Sion was drunk and injured. Then why did he go to the hotel? Why didn’t he just come home or go to hospital? Unconsciously, she thought of the terrible things he had done to her tonight. So, that was why he got drunk?

Aurora shook her head, trying to get those stupid ideas off her head, but she still couldn’t calm down. At last, she sat up and heaved a sigh. In the next five minutes, she got dressed quickly and took a taxi to PROSPER Hotel.

It was 2 a. m when Aurora arrived at the hotel. She checked in and took the elevator to the sixth floor. But she just regretted it when she finally stood at the door of Room 606. She spent several minutes convincing herself, then she rang the doorbell.

Thirty seconds later, the door was opened. She saw Sion standing in front of her with a bathrobe across his waist and she could see his strong pecs and abs…
