Grandma was feeling full of joy. During lunchtime, her appetite was so good that she ate two bowls of porridge. If it were not for the nurse stopping her, she would have wanted to eat more. And she could not stop talking about this exciting news!
After put on two intravenous drips in the afternoon, grandma fell asleep.
After gently closing the door of the ward, Emily walked forward quickly and caught up with Simon, who put his hands in his pockets. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Simon, why did you tell grandma about the pregnancy?"
"What's the big deal?" Simon raised his eyebrows and asked.
Emily pouted and said, "You know that we..."
Simon interrupted her and said in a righteous tone, "That is grandmother's great-grandson or great- granddaughter. Of course, she has the right to know!"
"..." Emily clenched her hands.
The main reason that she wanted to hide it from grandma was that she worried that once grandma found out about their divorce, grandma would be disappointed. After all, grandma had been longing for having a greatgrandchild. What's more, she didn't know what to do about the child now. She tried her best not to let too many people know about it..."..." Emily clenched her hands.
But Simon told grandma. All of a sudden, things got messy!
Emily raised her hand and pressed the space between her eyebrows. She felt that everything was out of control. Or to say, the moment Simon found that the child appeared at the airport, she lost grip of many things.
Simon suddenly held her hand. She frowned, looked over, and heard his low male voice came above her head, "Since we are in the hospital, I asked the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department and made an appointment with a birth check-up. Let’s go now!"
Then, he dragged her to the elevator without waiting for her to agree.
There were a lot of pregnant women sitting around on the floor of obstetrics and gynecology, waiting for maternity check-ups. Many of them already had a baby bump, while some of them did not like Emily. Some of them looked happy, some of them looked sad.
Simon had made an appointment in advance. When he went over, the director of obstetrics and gynecology was doing checks for a few pregnant women. They needed to wait for a few minutes.
Because many people were waiting in line, the corridor was crowded, and the air was not ventilating. It was a little stuffy.
Simon, who had been standing by her side with one hand in his pocket the whole time, asked with his eyes looking down, "Emily, do you want some water?"
"No, thanks!" Emily shook her head.
Although she replied impatiently, Simon said, "You need to. I'll get some for you!"
Feeling helpless, Emily could only watch him walk straight to the water dispenser in the distance.
One pregnant woman, who was also waiting, suddenly came over and said in an envious tone, "Miss, your husband is so good to you! Unlike my husband, since I got pregnant, he never has the sense of responsibility as a father. Except for the first time I came to the hospital to check whether I was pregnant, he never accompanied me again!"
Emily was stunned and couldn't help raise her head and looked at Simon.
Simon lined up in the middle of the family members of the patients. He took a paper cup from the side and bent down to take the water when it was his turn. White water vapor swirled around his handsome face...
With her mind in a mess, she licked her lips and said, "Actually, my husband and I..."
Emily wanted to say that the two of them were no longer husband and wife, but before she could finish, Simon's deep voice interrupted her from above her head.
