The neon lights lit up the city as the night grew late.
The door of the operating room finally opened. Simon and Dr. Lewis, a gynecologist came out in their surgical gowns. After comforting the family members who had been waiting outside for a long time, they went to the red trash can at the corner and took off their masks and hats.
Dr. Lewis, who was in charge of the delivery of the baby, said, "Dr. Chin, thank you so much for today's surgery!"
Simon smiled and said, "Duty calls. I'm glad to be of assistance!"
"Well, you're right!" Dr. Lewis nodded, and then he thought of something and asked with a smile, "By the way, how is Mrs. Chin recently?"
After all, Dr. Lewis was a man. He was not born to like gossips as women. He was not keen on such things, nor would he inquire about the private life of his colleagues, so he was not aware of their divorce.
"Mm." Simon's Adam's apple moved slightly. Dr. Lewis smiled and continued to ask, "The last time I saw her make appointment with a gynecologist, I was quite surprised. Are you going to have children?"
"Dr. Lewis, what did you say?" Simon's pupils suddenly dilated.
"It should be half a month ago. Although I wasn't in the clinic that day, she saw my teacher. When I was sending the medical records to him, I saw Mrs. Chin and her friend come out of the consulting room together. So I asked my teacher and he told me that Mrs. Chin was four weeks pregnant!"
After he finished, he carefully thought for a moment and continued, "I still remember about three and a half years ago. When you were newly married, Mrs. Chin suffered severe adverse reactions caused by taking a long-term contraceptive. I was her doctor at that time. Now you two are just right age and it's time for you to have a baby. If you need any help, call me at any time!"
Simon didn't listen to what Dr. Lewis said now.
At this moment, he felt numb with shock. As his mind was in a fog, he heard a clear voice.
Mrs. Chin was four weeks pregnant...
She was pregnant...
The last word echoed constantly, as if there were a lot of voices shouting in his ear.
Simon suddenly remembered that he met her once in the hospital. When she and Wendy came out of the elevator, her face looked particularly pale. She stood aghast at the sight of him.
At that time, although he noticed that she acted oddly, he only thought that she did not want to see him and treated him like a stranger.
After dealing with the patients, he called her worriedly. How did she answer him at that time?
Simon's adam Adam was rolling up and down along a fixed track as he clenched his fists. His chest, which was under the green surgical gown, slightly heaved. His tone was calm and slow with a trace of excitement in his final syllable. "Dr. Lewis, do you mean... my wife is pregnant?"
"No kidding! Besides, she's medical record is in the hospital. Why don't you have a look on tomorrow morning?" Dr. Lewis said directly. Seeing that Simon had a strange look on his face, he couldn't help asking, "What, Mrs. Chin hasn't told you about it yet? Maybe she wants to give you a surprise!"
Simon uttered a word through his clenched teeth. "She..."
It happened half a month ago. So many days had passed and they had met many times, but she never talked about it. Even in the two days in the town, she never mentioned it, and she even wanted to monopolize his child!
The white light shined on the corridor. Simon was striding forward.
When he went back to the office to change clothes, his cell phone rang with his friend's name Charlie on the screen.
