Sylyvia suppressed the anger in her chest.
She said to him patiently, "I didn't say she isn't nice, but the two of you belong to different worlds. You're not right for each other.
Maybe in the beginning you’ll feel it's new and exciting, but as time goes on, you'll face many problems.”
"No I won’t, I like her, I’ll accept everything about her, she’s so cute and kind. I know we'll be happy together.”
"No! I won't accept her into the family. Break it off with her now before it's too late, don't make me angry.”
"I’ve decided, I will marry her. I want to be with her, I hope you and Father can give us your blessings. I have an operation to perform, I need to go now.”
Michael pushed the door open and left his office.
Sylvia slapped her palm against the table, then sighed heavily.
"It's all for your own good, you can't be with her..."
On his way to the surgical theatre, Michael sighed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got and the more confused he became.
His mother usually doted on him, why did she suddenly transform into a traditional, narrow-minded parent, opposing his choice because of such a trivial matter.
Were family history and family status really that important?
The Hart family also started out with a small hospital.
Michael was upset, he knew he was not in the right mindset to perform surgery on his patient.
He really couldn't calm himself down. After looking for another surgeon to replace him, he headed to Melissa’s ward.
This was the first time that he violated his principles and let his personal life affect his work.
When he arrived at Melissa's ward, Nina was standing alone in front of her mother's bed.
He looked at her thin back, his heart ached.
He walked over and hugged her gently, and his upset heart suddenly calmed down.
"What's the matter?" Nina was held so tightly by him; i t was getting difficult to breathe.
"It's nothing, I just saw that you were in a bad mood and I wanted to comfort you. I got someone to replace me, your mother's infusion will be fine. Let's go for a walk."
Nina’s heart warmed, she nodded and walked out with him.
The two slowly arrived at the pavilion behind the hospital.
The gentle late summer breeze swept across the grass, carrying with it the fragrance of soil, comforting Michael's depressed mood.
Nina sat next to him, and seeing that he was in a bad mood, she felt very uneasy.
"Mikey..."
"Huh, what?" He was a little distracted thinking about the words his mother said to him.
Nina pursed her lips, hesitating, but couldn't keep the words in anymore.
"I heard everything your mother said in your office."
Michael looked at her in surprise.
"Nina, don't think too much, my mother just doesn't know you yet."
Nina shook her head and looked at the distant blue sky.
"Or... Should we break up?"
"What did you say?! Why should we break up! Did someone ask you to say something?"
Michael was starting to panic, grabbing Nina’s hands i n his.
He thought maybe his mother, sensing her defeat, went to see Nina instead and convinced her to break u p with him.
Nina shook her head, "No, who would say anything? I just thought maybe I didn’t think this through."
Michael frowned, "Didn’t think this through? What do you mean?"
"I mean, initially I thought since you liked me, and I liked you, we could have a relationship is just between two people and we could be happy together, but now I realized I was wrong.”
"You’re not wrong. We are happy, aren't we?" He asked.
