"Of course, I dare!" Anthea was not afraid of Leonardo at all.
Through the line, she acted as if she was scolding her son. "What nonsense! If she didn't have a secret crush on you, would she be willing to give birth to your daughter after an unexpected One Night Stand (ONS)? When you suggested that you would shoulder the responsibilities, she would rather sacrifice herself than use the marriage to prison you!"
Mila couldn't hide her love for a person.
There were three things in the world that couldn't be hidden: Coughing; poverty; and love.
As the saying went, "Involvers always get confused while outsiders can be more clear." Anthea had noticed that Mila secretly fell in love with her good friend Leonardo, and that's why she repeatedly emphasized to him that he was not allowed to flirt with Mila.
However, sometimes a man and a woman would be tied together by destiny.
Leonardo was speechless."..."
He could tell from Anthea's tone that she was not surprised at all. She must have known it for a long time.
He was probably the only one who didn't know that his wife had a secret crush on him a long time ago.
Leonardo then became silent.
Hanging up the phone, he frowned and deeply reflected upon what had happened before.
He thought about how Mila and his cousin talked about the former's secret love towards a man in the Schain family that day. At that time, Mila's face was slightly drooped, while the focuses on her eyes were somewhat blurred. Her voice was void as if it came from a distant place.
Mila said that the secret love tasted bitter.
For so many years, she had hidden this feeling deep in her heart.
Leonardo withdrew the mobile phone in his hand and pursed his thin lips.
In the private hospital...
Although it was the first day for Mila to come back to work, she had worked together with Anthea before. They had a good understanding of each other. Now, Mila's medical skills were good enough and could cooperate with other doctors very well.
Anthea was very happy for the return of Mila.
Because it was Monday, the schedule of the operations was relatively full. From the early meeting to the end of work, Anthea and Mila almost didn't leave the operating room for a whole day. In the evening, their high-intensity work finally came to an end.
Anthea and Mila came out of the ward together, laughing and talking.
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the corridor through the windows. It was very warm and magnificent scene.
Anthea smiled and said, "Mila, I think your medical skills have improved greatly!"
Mila chuckled. "Director Lee, thank you for your compliment!"
For Mila, Anthea was not only her superior, but also a bossom friend. When she first worked for the hospital as a medical intern, Anthea had already become a medical director because of her comprehensive abilities. Mila had always worshiped Anthea and regarded her as an idol.
Now that she heard Anthea's praise, Mila was very happy. She cherished Anthea's good comments more than anyone else.
Anthea said seriously from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't say polite words. Your medical skills are truly very good. I think you could independently do operations for the patients now, except for some serious or difficult
operations. You don't need to be my assistant!"
Mila laughed happily.
Not only did she get the praise from Anthea, but also confirmation of her medical skills, which made her excited.
When she raised her head, she was surprised to see a man's figure. "Leonardo, why are you here?"
Leonardo was wearing a high-end handmade suit, which befitted his good figure. Perhaps it was because he had got married, he looked more prudent and reserved now, demonstrating the mature fascination of a married man.
One of Leonardo's hands was in his pocket, while the other hand was wearing a wedding ring, which was shining under the dim light.
Anthea hadn't expected that as soon as he finished the phone call in the morning, Leonardo would appear and meet her in the evening. She raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly, "Hi... Golden Leonardo? What are you doing up here?"
"Come and pick up my wife after work!" Leonardo said with confidence this time.
When Leonardo, Mila, and their daughter visited Anthea's home for the first time, Anthea deliberately joked with him, saying that his daughter was his daughter, but his wife was not his wife.
Now his daughter and wife were both his!
