Anthea forced a smile, but her eyes looked dull. She shook her head and said, "Never mind. Hold this! Emily, I still have something to do. I can't accompany you for a long time. Call me if you need me!"
"Okay!" Emily nodded.
For some inexplicable reason, Emily felt her receding figure was a slender stalk that was weighed down as if she sank deeper into depression.
Until Anthea disappeared from view, Emily looked at her watch and frowned slightly. It was almost time for the appointment, but Simon did not appear.
Was he too busy?
She looked up in the direction of the elevator. When she was about to take out her cell phone, a nurse came to her and said with a smile, "Mrs. Chin, it's up for your number. Director Ye is expecting you!"
"Ah, okay!" Emily replied promptly.
She threw the cell phone and the needles back into her bag, and then quickly followed the nurse into the examination room.
The prenatal examination was not complicated. It wouldn't be long before she finished all projects. However, compared with other pregnant women who had their husbands accompanying in the process, she felt it particularly difficult to bear up against the loneliness when she followed the nurses to take the check-up one by one.
After she got it done, she came out of the Director Ye's office with the results.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Simon standing out.
Obviously, he had just strode here.
The lower part of his doctor's coat bounced and his straight trouser legs were also flowing slightly.
When Emily saw the anxiety in his eyes, she thought that he had not been tied up. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but his deep voice sounded first.
Simon took her shoulder into his arms, and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Emily. These two days, I've been helping Addy to discuss the case with Anson and collect evidence. The divorce case is going to be held in court soon, but Sean wants to cause trouble. I have to arrange some bodyguards in the hotel to protect her! Plus the surgery in the hospital, I'm too busy, so I forget that today you have to take the prenatal examination!"
Hearing this, her expression grew disappointed.
"Simon... you forgot it?"
"I'm sorry!" Simon apologized sincerely.
Addy's divorce case did take up a lot of his time. Du to Sean's attitude, she could only have recourse to law. After graduating from high school, she went to study in Newley City, and her parents moved to other countries early. In addition to several classmates, Addy didn't have any other friends here.
As friends, he would never turn his back on her. What's more, she was his lifesaver...
No matter what, Simon would not sit idly by and do nothing.
Since one party of the marriage was not willing to divorce, the other had to sue for it. To win the case, she had to collect more evidence of domestic violence. In the past, Addy had always chosen to forgive and tolerated Sean. She had never called the police. What she got was the medical record of her last hospitalization. Simon helped her to collect her past diagnosis of acute injury. With other things to do, he was fully occupied!
Just when he went to the neurosurgery department, he happened to meet Anthea who went up in the elevator. He learned from her that Emily was in the obstetrics and gynecology department waiting for the check-up. At this time, he suddenly remembered it, threw all the medical notes to his colleague, and rushed here with a great sense of urgency.
However, he was still too late. She had already finished it...
