What he said sent needles that pricked Doris' heart.
It pained her to know that the psychological burden that Jay was carrying now was caused by her delivery. Doris hugged him and said, "Honey, I was willing to give birth to Ace for you, and I will never regret it. I'm happy to have him. We are a happy family, aren't we? Don't blame yourself. This is a process that every woman has to go through. You don't want us to have no children, do you?"
"If I had known that you would need to go through so much pain in order to give me a child, I'd rather not have one!"
Doris' eyes widened in shock.
Ace was a living life, and he had brought so much joy to the whole family.
How could Jay say such heartless words?
If Ace knew it, he would be very sad, right?
With this thought, tears immediately formed in the corners of her eyes. Through her misty eyes, she saw Jay stride away alone.
His stubborn figure and everything else about him was so familiar to Doris, but now, it was incomparably strange. He was like a completely different person.
Didn't he say that he would listen to her?
Just a while ago, Jay had promised that he was willing to give himself to her.
Was he lying to her?
This idiot left without even saying goodbye. Did he give up the treatment?
Damn it!
All she did was watch him walk away. She didn't bother to run after him anymore, because she knew that Jay needed some time.
Both of them were upset, so they both needed space. But what if Jay didn't cooperate with the treatment and it became more serious?
Also, her question remained unanswered. Was he not interested in only her or with all the women?
The night had come, but Jay still didn't come back.
It annoyed Doris so much that she didn't want to see him anymore. Later on, she called Nancy and asked to come to a bar with her.
As soon as they arrived, Doris ordered two glasses of cocktail. But when she was about to drink it, Nancy stopped her. "You are in suckling period now, and you are a doctor. How can you not understand such a simple truth? You can't drink when you are breastfeeding."
"But I'm very upset! Very upset! Nancy, can you leave me alone? How can my damn life be so hard? Do you think my fate is not good?"
In Nancy's eyes, Doris had always been optimistic. She was the kind of woman who would sleep soundly while other people would choose to run away when disasters came.
How could Doris suddenly become pessimistic?
"He will be fine after a while. Don't worry," Nancy comforted her.
But Doris only pushed Nancy's hand away. "Don't persuade me. Let me drink a little. A little alcohol won't
hurt."
