Outside the window, the night was on.
Just like what Emily had guessed, Simon had been staying in the operating room the entire time.
He took off the disposable mask and cap and threw them in the red waste bin. Wearing the green surgical gown, he walked toward the lift. Through the corridor windows, he could see the neon lights were gradually on in the city.
He took out the silver ring from his pocket. He had taken it off before the operation, and now he put it back on his ring finger.
Simon had to do it several times a day at work. There was a rule in the hospital that surgeons were not allowed to wear rings during operations. Although it was troublesome, he didn't mind it at all.
As the lift slowly closed, Simon moved his cervical vertebra to release the tiredness.
He took the earliest flight at 5:30 a.m. to return and kept it from Emily to surprise her. When the plane landed, he thought of her stunned and silly look when she saw him back and chuckled in his heart!
The director's call came so suddenly that he couldn't refuse it. He didn't expect that there would be two more cases in the emergency room. The situation was very critical. There were not many doctors on duty at the weekend. As an honorable doctor, he had to take up the responsibility. After doing three tricky operations in a row, he found it was already nighttime.
When the lift arrived on the floor of the cardiac surgery department, Simon strode out.
Thinking of Emily at home, he only wanted to go back as soon as possible. After all, he had been on a trip for so long and hadn't seen her for many days. When he came out of the operating room, he wanted to call her, only to find that his phone was dead.
A trace of light flashed in his eyes. Having been apart from her for so long, he longed for getting intimate with her and believed she missed him too!
Hurrying to do the operation during the day, he only got to hug her shoulder, but it already made him restless...
When he passed by the nurse station, the nurse immediately stood up when she saw him and said with a hint, "Dr. Chin, someone is waiting for you in the office!"
"Okay!" Simon took a glance.
Because he wanted to go home so badly, he didn't stop. He answered faintly and continued to walk straight to his office.
Because the entire department had long known about his marriage, and Emily had come to the hospital more than once, Simon mistakenly thought that the nurse was implying Emily was the one in his office. Thinking that Emily came to find him because she was eager to see him, Simon smiled happily.
Although the office was dark inside, he could still see a beautiful figure sitting at the desk with her back facing him when he pushed the door open.
Simon raised her eyebrows and strode in.
Simon swallowed his saliva. As he stretched out his hand and was about to lift the woman from behind, she turned around.
"Simon!" It was not the voice that he was expecting.
Simon's hand froze in the air. He quickly took it back, turned around, and turned on the light. After seeing clearly who was waiting for him in the office, he frowned immediately, "Addy, why are you here?"
Addy was well-dressed with delicate makeup.
At this time, when she saw his tight eyebrows, she couldn't help but be sad, "Simon, what's the matter? Don't you want to see me?"
"Well, it's not that," Simon said. He was merely a bit disappointed.
