Chapter38 Aurora Couldn’t Believe What She Saw
Sion arrived at the center of the earthquake site with Nevaeh by taxi.
This place was now turned into a tourist site which was a must-go for almost every tourist in River Green.
The broken houses and torn cracks would bring people to the old days of the deadly earthquake.
Standing in front of a ruined building, Nevaeh said sadly, “I was far away from it at that time, but this building suddenly collapsed in front of me, and only a roof was left…”
Sion became serious as he entered this place. There was a deep frown on his face as if he were back on that day.
Those memories lay so heavily upon their hearts that both of them even didn’t know what should say.
“Let’s go there and have a look.”
Neveah pointed at another side, “Do you remember there was a little girl there? Thanks to your notice or she might have been amputated at any later time.”
Sion nodded his head.
It was a 5-year-old girl at that time, and if he didn’t show up on time, her legs would probably have been amputated because of being pressed for a long time.
“I’ve got in touch with the related organization last year and they told me that they are now living a happy life.”
So she didn’t bother more.
Nevaeh sighed, “I never felt tired at that time though the rescue was carried out day and night. One life still matters… how small our human is in the face of nature.”
“No one is small.”
Sion looked at the ruins around him, as if he saw the mess from the earthquake.
Coming to a landslide, he stopped instantly.
A voice suddenly appeared, “Sion… come on, don’t sleep… you will be rescued!”
Seeing Sion staring at one place and being absent-minded, Nevaeh sensed something wrong. She said softly, “you were trapped here in the aftershock. Fortunately, you were in a stable mood and held on.”
Sion turned around at her, and said seriously, “Thanks for your encouragement and help. I appreciate it.”
He participated in the rescue with the fire brigade after treating seriously-injured patients at that time.
Unfortunately, they suffered from an aftershock and he was trapped under the ruins.
He got injured and suffered confusion, he could barely sense this world.
He felt extremely tired and cold, and he just wanted to sleep.
However, as he was about to lose consciousness a voice from outside came, calling his name and kept speaking to him constantly as if she were not afraid of another aftershock.
Her voice, encouragement and accompaniment rescued Sion.
And when the collapsed stone bricks were removed, what he saw for first sight was Nevaeh’s anxious face.
At that moment Sion told himself that he owed his life to her.
Nevaeh smiled with relief, pretending she was also recalling the past days, “and since then, we got together.”
Her spirits dropped as speaking, she softly asked, “sometimes I cannot tell whether you date me because of this thing or because you love me.”
Sion brought his attention back but didn’t know how to answer this question.
Looking at his face, Nevaeh got close and kissed his cheek, staring at him with the most affectionate glance, “anyway, what you need to know is I will love you forever.”
Sion lifted his eyes, only to find Nevaeh’s heart was occupied by him.
He didn’t turn her down.
And he couldn’t turn her down at this place.
…
Aurora and Alex arrived at the center of the site at about the same time.
Alex frowned at the ruins of the disaster which gave him a shock beyond shown on the television.
He took a few pictures with the phone and said sadly, “I never expected that the earthquake destroyed more than we heard before.”
Aurora walked on the stone road with a wistful look, “the hardest pain to fathom is probably the despair of people in that earthquake.”
What she wanted to say was that the present ruins were only the record of the past, as an old photo.
Only those who suffered from this could fathom the pain brought by it.
The air was occupied with sorrows.
Aurora took a breath and tried to calm down, “I might get some inspiration from this, and hopefully it will contribute to the competition.”
“I agree,” Alex nodded, “Let’s visit other places and find more inspirations.”
Aurora nodded her head and took pictures with her phone around with the hope of recording every part of this place.
However, in the next second, she was too startled at the person in the photo to take a breath. She stood stock-still, staring at what she saw – Nevaeh tiptoed to Sion’s and shyly kissed his cheek with joy – she couldn’t believe it.
All at once it gave her goosebumps to think of it.
Around were faded and destroyed buildings, while this couple, were in love.
This picture gave her a visual shock with a special aesthetic effect, while on the other hand, made her heart sink.
What brought them there?
Did they have to… tell this world how deeply in love they were at this place? Alex didn’t notice it, looking at the ruin nearby, “there are a great variety of methods to find inspiration, but why do you particularly want to visit this place? Are there any memories of you here?”
It was absolutely a deserted place with weeds and moss around. No girls would like it except for certain reasons.
Aurora didn’t respond, while all at once Alex looked around and noticed them.
Were they… the doctors they ate together last time?
Alex was talking in a loud voice and consequently, following this sound Sion and Neveah turned around and recognized Aurora and Alex.
Sion lifted his eyes and stared at Aurora with anger and irony.
He calmed him down.
Sion didn’t care who she was now since it was the truth after all.
This was what she called the competition…
He’d rather call it a trip with another man.
Didn’t she say it was a precious opportunity so she had to work hard on it?
Then how to explain her leisure dating time now with another guy?
Looking at Sion standing side by side with Nevaeh, Aurora’s heart stung as she thought of they even lived together last night.
Didn’t they enjoy last night so they came here for new memories today?NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Then what about her? What about the memories of her and Sion at this place?
Was it a joke?
